Coron: Private Boat Hire with Guided Tour and Lunch on Beach

1.Private Boat Hire with Guided Tour and Lunch on Beach

★★★★★★★★★★4.9 · 658 reviews · 8 hours Our pick

Take an eight-hour private boat tour around Coron Island with an English-speaking guide such as AJ, Hector, Norie, or Hazel. Choose from seven sites, including Kayangan Lake, Twin Lagoon, Barracuda Lake, coral gardens, beaches, and caves. Lunch is included for newer bookings, with snorkeling and kayak gear available at extra cost.

“We did this tour and our experience was great. Our guide, Hazel, was not only friendly but also an expert at avoiding the crowds. She was very flexible and adjusted the stops to our preferences, and we never felt rushed or pressured regarding the time spent at each spot. In all the places we visited, we saw very few people, making the experience much more enjoyable. The food served onboard was fresh and delicious, so I highly recommend it. Just as a note: they are very transparent about prices, but we spent around 30 euros more per person on kayak and conservation fees.”

“Over priced rip off. Get my guide says starts at 8am but it was closer to 10am before we even set sail. Disgusting false advertising. Way more money than tours available in town. Price for the same tour everywhere is about 1000 peso cheaper. I asked many people who paid way less on my actual boat. This is a con. Get your ticket in Coron. Over crowded tour also. Starting at 8am would have beaten the crowds but everywhere was packed before we even set sail. It’s worth getting together some people and paying between you for a private tour. This is an over priced joke. I’ve traveled all over…”
