Cruising & Swimming

OVERVIEW

Enjoy a leisurely cruise in an outrigger boat along Coron’s immensely picturesque northern shore, where you will eventually stop to swim at a beach that rims a steep cliff. Be sure to look for sea turtles as you pass Siete Pecados marine park; they are often seen just beneath the water’s surface. Nearby, you will find the entrances to Kayangan Lake and Barracuda Lake, both of which contain brackish water, as the limestone-encased lakes were once part of the sea. That same sort of limestone forms cliffs that separate the two bodies of water at nearby Twin Lagoon and continue around much of the shoreline. You will then cruise over several coral gardens teeming with marine life before reaching Banol Beach, where you will be free to relax as you please and swim in the refreshing waters. The sugar-white sand, turquoise sea and backdrop of towering limestone cliffs are extraordinarily photogenic.
