X6R6+GMR, Coron Town Proper, Coron, Palawan, Philippines
View on Google MapsDo NOT book this tour. It’s 33% overpriced, the driver never picked us up, and we were told last minute to get ourselves to the boats at our own expense. On an 8-hour tour, we got one cup of water total. In extreme heat. Unacceptable. A reasonable 25% refund was instantly denied. Terrible service, terrible guides. Book locally in Coron instead.
The overall experience was okay, but not the best by any means. The tuktuk driver arrived to collect us at 7:55am despite it being confirmed the day before that pick up was between 8:30am and 9am, so we had to ask him to wait whilst we got ready. The drive lasted 2 minutes and was definitely walkable from the centre of Coron Town. Upon arriving at the Port area at 8:10am, we were told we were “waiting for more group members to arrive”. After everyone had arrived we had to continue waiting until 9:20am until boarding. Whilst we were waiting to leave, the staff sold “optional extras” of snorkeling gear and kayak hire to be used at certain stops. We opted not to hire anything as we had our own swimming equipment. Once we left the Port area at 9:20am, we proceeded to only move a 300m up the coast where we had to wait 25 minutes for a member of the crew to kayak to shore and collect any kayaks that had been hired. We finally left the Coron area about 9:50am, despite the 7:55am pickup. At our first stop, which was the Green Lagoon and Blue Lagoon, we were informed that only people who hired Kayaks could participate. No instruction was given to anyone who had no Kayak, and when asked we were simply told we had to “wait for an hour until the kayaks come back”. After waiting we proceeded to the inland Lake (I can’t remember the name). This had a total of 370 steps each way. Whilst this wasn’t an issue for us, an elderly member of our group struggled. We would not recommend for people with mobility issues. After Lunch, we proceeded to another Kayak location, however swimming here was more accessible. We then proceeded to a beach formerly laid out in the itinerary. However we were strongly encouraged into a “democratic” vote to decide not to go as it was “very bad” according to the guides. The final two stops were the Skeleton Wreck and the Coral Gardens. These two saved the trip and are worth a visit in their own right.

Comms were great via Viator Messaging and WhatsApp Messaging with H&H Tours. They said they would pick up all 11 of us at the hotel, and they did have a large shuttle for us all plus more people. Staff were waiting at the drop off point, and guided us to our tour guide. We decided we wanted to rent snorkels and kayaks, which matched the pricing listed on the Viator App. We paid at the end of the day . Mark was very helpful and kind guide. We saw Twin Lagoons, Barracuda Lake, Kanyangan Lake, had a delicious lunch of Adobo, Fish, pinakbet, pineapple, lumpia, rice, watermelon and veggies and baby bananas on the day we went. We ate right on the boat - it was all spread on the table when we returned from the Lake! Afterwards we visited a beach and the Irako Shipwreck and Coral Garden. It was a lovely tour, so much fun, and the guide even took some awesome underwater videos for me on my phone since I personally didn't want to snorkel! The snack was a wrapped, fried banana and it was delicious. If I had a complaint, it's only that my lactose intolerant self couldn't eat the cheesy stuffed lumpia, but really the whole day was perfect.
This tour was awesome! All the areas are so insanely beautiful! Only downfall of course is the crowd but that’s to be expected! Otherwise Toto and his crew were awesome!
Make sure you ask how much any rental gear is from multiple people. One of the employees "Vince", try to scam me out of 150 pesos for himself on top of 1000 pesos which I gave him for the rentals on the boat in which he stated he didn't have change yet until we got on land. Once on land after giving him the 1000 already said I never gave him the money. The rest of the crew was great just watch out for Vince.
Great tour with excellent and knowledgeable guides and a nice lunch provided. Snorkeling gear not provided but is available for hire
The tour is worth an experience. However, you have to pay extra for the snorkel equipment and the kayak. Lunch was there and very delicious.
Great service, friendly guides and very helpful, I love swimming with the fish around me I can’t swim but they made sure I saw and experienced everything Big lunch and I loved the toron.
Despire the weather the last few days and tours being cancelled i am so glad this was able to proceed before i left Coron. This was the most memorable part of the Phillipines. Raymell, Daniel, I don't remember the other tour guides name but they were all so great and helpful. Got lots of cool pictures and videos for us while raymell free dived. Lunch was SO good- fresh crab, rainbow unicorn fish, among other things; plus our banana spring rolls for snack. The color of the water is unreal and truly makes you feel like you're connecting with the ocean. Thanks for making this so fun for our group.
Such an incredible day! Our guides and the crew were absolutely incredible. The buffet lunch was absolutely delicious and more than any of us expected. Each place was stunning, even though could be quite crowded at some. The kayaking at Green Lagoon was hands down my favourite, closely followed by the neon colours of the Reef Garden. Long day however so worth it.
