      Hike Mt. Tapyas in Coron

      1.0
      This is a relatively easy hike up to Mt. Tapyas. You can either walk to the base of the hill/mountain that is located near the town center, or you can take a tricycle. Timing depends on how in shape you are; however, it is all paved stairs, a little bit more than 700 steps, so keep that in mind. ...

      Hike to Dao Falls

      1 mi / 200 ft gain
      To start with, there are quite a few stairs at the beginning going down, and then right at the end as you climb back up to the parking lot. Other than that, nothing to be concerned about in terms of difficulty.  This is a cool spot because you get a bit of variety. At the parking lot there is epi...

      Canyoneering at Kawasan Falls

      *This is far more of an adrenaline rush than a casual day through a canyon. There is cliff jumping involved* You cannot enter this canyon without a guide, so find a company and make a reservation with them. I would plan a few days in advance as it seemed pretty popular. We booked with a company c...

      There are dozens of places you can rent scooters all over the Philippines, all are very similarly priced, and pretty cheap. We did scooters/mopeds for 5 hours for 300 pesos, about $6 (USD).

      There are dozens of places to dive around Coron. We did 3 days with 3 dives each day. We booked with a cool guy named Arnie with Coron Divers. There are lots of dive centers though. Each go to pretty much the same spots, just on different rotations. We did a few coral reef dives that I don't know...

Grand total for the boat was about $110 (USD) or 5,400 pesos. The more people you get, the cheaper per person. They give you a list of spots that ...

      Explore Aguinid Falls

      1 mi / 300 ft gain
      *Distance and elevation gain are negligible. it is more of a scramble than a hike* This is a great little spot that has just been opened to the public for the last three years (this was written March of 2019). It is managed by one of the local tribes, so you need to have their guides with you. We...
