🚨 Cultural Tips Specifically for Women
Book your island-hopping tours in advance. The 'Super Ultimate Tour' is a popular option that covers the highlights like Kayangan Lake and Twin Lagoon.
If you're a certified diver, don't miss the chance to explore the WWII Japanese shipwrecks. It's what makes Coron a world-famous diving destination.
Climb Mt. Tapyas for sunset. It's a 700-step climb, but the panoramic view of the bay is worth every step.
