Coron Island's Pristine Wonders
Crown Island is the pearl of the Philippines, whose possessions have the cleanest lakes, snow–white beaches and an amazing underwater world. In 1967, the island of Coron and several neighboring small atolls received the status of a national reserve, due to its unique nature. A huge number of endemic bird species live here. Crown Island is also home to a variety of species of mammals, reptiles, fish and amphibians.
The island of Coron is located in the Sulu Sea. It is part of the Kalamian Islands group and is the third largest in this group. It is surrounded by many sharp rocks, which were responsible for many shipwrecks during the Japanese invasion of the Philippines (World War II).
This tour will allow you to explore all the diversity of the island of Corona, as well as swim in the cleanest waters of lagoons and lakes. Get ready for an unforgettable experience! Also, be sure to check out the tour to Malkapuya Island. The second best tour on the island of Coron. A wonderful place for relaxation and complete relaxation. Everywhere you will be surrounded by magnificent rocks with karst landscapes and snow-white sand. You will see crystal clear water, but in some places of the lagoons it may be slightly cloudy. This is due to the collision of salt and fresh water streams. For the same reason, the water temperature in the salty parts is very warm. Conversely, in fresh waters, the water is much cooler. An excellent SPA treatment created by nature itself to maintain the tone of the whole body.
You can completely relax by diving into the water in a life jacket and bobbing on the waves. And for outdoor enthusiasts, there is a great opportunity to explore underwater inhabitants with the help of snorkeling. By the way, one of the lagoons is hidden, so to get into it you will have to overcome a small crevice in the rock or climb a ladder above the rock (depending on the tides). Lake Barracuda. The lake got its name because of the huge skeleton of a barracuda found in its waters. The depth of the lake in some places can reach 30 meters, and the crystal clear water allows you to see the bottom even through such a thickness. This is one of the unique lakes of the island of Koron, where streams collide with fresh and salt water. Therefore, you may notice constant temperature changes.
Before going out to the lake, you will walk along the wooden steps, overcoming a small rocky cliff surrounding the lake. We recommend that you take everything you need (a camera and snorkeling equipment) and leave the rest in the boat. The most impressive sight on the Barracuda is underwater. To do this, you need to swim along the right bank (if you stand facing the lake on a wooden deck). Huge rocks rising tens of meters above the surface of the lake go down to the same impressive depth. Kayangan Lake. To get to the lake, you will need to climb the stairs through a small cave, and then go down. An observation deck with stunning views of the bay awaits you at the top. The journey time will take about 15 minutes.
Lake Kayangan is another lake with crystal clear water (it is recognized as the cleanest lake in Asia, and one of the cleanest in the world). 70% of the lake consists of fresh water, the remaining 30% is salty. You can swim, dive, explore the underwater world, swim into a cave or relax serenely on the waves. There is a bamboo raft on the lake where you can swim.
It is this place that is the calling card of the Philippines (Coron Island).
