Second, hop on a scenic 30-minute tricycle ride to the Maquinit Hot Spring, a natural wonder that is sure to leave you spellbound. Located along the picturesque southern coast of Busuanga Island, Maquinit Hot Spring is one of the very few saltwater hot springs in the world.

This historic structure was built in 1901 and has been restored several times over the years. Despite its central location in the bustling town center, the church exudes a sense of tranquility that is sure to soothe your soul. Once you've had your fill of peaceful contemplation, take a leisurely stroll to the vibrant Town Center. This bustling hub of activity is the heart of Coron's commercial district, where you can sample local cuisine or simply soak up the lively atmosphere.

After that, it’s time to unwind and relax at the Lualhati Park which is Coron's baywalk. It is part of the reclaimed space which the government established to serve as the main anchorage for boats and ships traveling in and out of Coron. It is said that this place was erected in tribute of the town mayor's mother. Take a moment to breathe in the fresh sea air and savor the peace and tranquility of this idyllic location. Afterward, you will head to the souvenir shop to buy trinkets and local treats for your loved ones back home.

After breakfast, your guide will pick you up at the hotel in Coron Town and take you to enjoy Coron Ultimate Tour with various different experiences.

You will make your way to the port to board your boat for the day. Indulge your senses as you take a boat to your first stop, the world-renowned Kayangan Lake. Nestled in the heart of Coron, this crystal-clear freshwater oasis beckons with its stunning underwater rock formations, intricate caves, and picturesque islets. It's no wonder that photographers flock to this natural wonder, as it boasts unparalleled beauty and is widely regarded as the cleanest lake in the entire Philippines. As you approach the lake, you'll be awestruck by the towering limestone cliffs that encircle the water, providing an awe-inspiring backdrop for your photos. Beneath the surface, an array of vibrant aquatic life thrives, making it a popular destination for adventurous snorkelers and divers.

Later, go to have stunning experience at Barracuda Lake. Located on the north shore of Coron Island in the Philippines, Barracuda Lake is widely regarded as one of the most unique diving experiences in the world. It's occasionally referred to as Luluyuan Lake by the locals, and its crystal blue waters, hidden between majestic rocky formations, create a surreal and tranquil atmosphere. It offers divers the chance to experience a thermocline and halocline unlike anywhere else. As a combination of 70% freshwater and 30% saltwater, this natural wonder provides an otherworldly sensation as you pass through the thermocline and feel the temperature shift around you.

Then, enjoy the stunning Twin Lagoon. It is called Twin Lagoons as there are two lakes which are separated with a rugged piece of limestone rock. The first lagoon is filled with saltwater while the second lagoon is filled with freshwater. You can experience the varying water temperatures or try swim, snorkel, or kayak in the Twin Lagoon.

Later, go to CYC Beach named after the Coron Youth Club, offering quiet and relaxing beach getaway. The beach has white sand and clear waters, dotted with mangrove trees and rock formations that make for a beautiful beachscape. It is an ideal spot for swimming, sunbathing, and picnicking.

In this afternoon, explore the Banul Beach, a small stretch of dazzlingly white, powder like sand, with incredibly clear water, where lunch is usually served during Coron Island Hopping Tour. Banul Beach is a public beach, surrounded by a majestic backdrop of limestone cliffs, similar to the beaches in Coron Island.

After, get ready to have some fun at Skeleton Wreck/Balinsasayaw. Located on the northwest corner of Coron Island, Skeleton Wreck is a popular dive site that's also great for snorkeling. The wreck rests at a depth of 5 to 22 meters at the stern, making it easy to spot from just off the shore. As you snorkel, you'll be treated to an abundance of colorful fish, creating a stunning underwater world to explore.

Your last stop today is Two Peaks Coral Garden, a better and more beautiful underwater world protected by Coron. The underwater coral reefs here are complete in variety, huge in area, rich in color and strange in layout, which are among the best in the world. It provides you with a fantastic view of aqua life - coral reefs, giant clams, giant turtles, lots of very colourful fishes and marine life.

After the tour, you will be escorted to your hotel in Coron Town.
