Coron’s Super Ultimate 7 tour packs Kayangan Lake, lagoons, beaches, and snorkeling into one full day with lunch and hotel transfers.
“The activity was very well organized and we'll paced, there was ample time to swim, relax and really explore the stops as much as we could in a group tour. The crew was extremely helpful, I was nervous about being the open water but they put me at ease and made sure no one was left behind. My accommodation was also deep in the island and transportation was difficult. Jenny from the agency coordinated everything with so much care I didn't have to worry about anything. She even coordinated directly with my hotel and kept checking till I had reached safely back. It was a beautiful experience overall, the spots…”

Private NAIA to Manila transfer with meet-and-greet, air-conditioned car, and English-speaking driver. Skip taxi lines in about 25 minutes.

Private transfer from Ninoy Aquino Airport to Manila hotels with name-sign pickup, onboard Wi-Fi, and a driver who can help you settle in fast.

Coron day trip to Calauit Safari and Black Island: feed giraffes, tour caves, snorkel white sand, plus lunch and Coron transfers for $94.
“If you want a break from water activities this is the perfect thing to do in Coron. I went scuba diving the first two days and tried to find something to do for my last day and this was the perfect thing to fill that void. It honestly was almost better than scuba diving haha. 10/10 experience overall! The sanctuary was so fun and interactive and the beach was unreal.”
