By a fantastic Coron Town Tour, right in the middle of a trip to Coron, you will come to know the culture, history, and nature of the place. That is a perfect local package for a visitor who is willing to check out the most famous sights of the town and live like the locals. Whether journeying alone, with your spouse, or as part of a group, this Coron sightseeing tour is suitable for any of you.
Most breathtaking places and the charm of this destination in Palawan are shown in our Coron town tour. Here is a list of what the tour includes:
Be at Lualhati Park for the start of your trip. It is a tranquil bayfront park where you can take in breathtaking views and breathe the fresh sea air. This site is a nice place to shoot and unwind before moving on with your Coron city tour.
Have a look into the past at the Saint Augustine Parish Church, a sign of culture where the visitor can behold the architecture and the spiritual roots of the respective town. For historical and traditional lovers, it is a worthwhile stop.
You can’t experience the essence of Coron without summiting Mount Tapyas. When you get to the top, there is an energizing, cool and clear view of Coron town and the nearby isles. Hence, it becomes one of those photographic locations that are quick to tag in Instagram.
Rather than the perfect trip you can’t stop from leaping, you get into an intimate and unique experience—the Maquinit Hot Spring with its water therapy. Here the combination of nature, warm water, and silence has made it the main attraction of the day, a noteworthy stress-releaser from all of your Coron town sight seeing.
If you do not sample Palawan cashew nuts that are known throughout the world, your town trip in Coron is dead in the water. Visit the Cashew Store to get some for your travel munchies or for your friends and family as gifts.
Visit the souvenir store in Coron town to find handicrafts and other products made by locals. It is one of the best ways of keeping the memory of your trip fresh.
At last, go to the Coron Town Plaza, the crowd lift, and the vibe are always great. It is the right place to watch the residents’ daily lives and capture the town’s bustling atmosphere.

Hotels and resorts:
Corto del Mar, Two Seasons hotel, Funny Lion, Tag Resort, West Town Resort.
We have chosen the order shown in this list according their location, so the first hotel in this list will be the closest to the city center and so on. Please notice that whilst the city center would give you some comfort when you feel like strolling around or shopping in the neighborhood, also might be a bit noisier because of the traffic or the chicken roosters that you will see everywhere in your trip to the Philippines. We suggest to have a good look at their information page and customer’s feedback to make sure you are booking what you need according your preferences.
Alternatively, you could talk to one of our advisors, they will be happy to help with your booking, at no extra cost. And we are local people, so totally familiar with each location advantages and weakest points.
Hostels and lodges:
Bam Bam hostel, Bakawan hostel, Dayon hostel, Outpost hostel, Hop hostel.
Again, this list starts with the locations in or near the city center, so each place would have advantages and maybe some inconvenient. Although we don’t book for hostels, we will still be happy to advice you and to proceed to book complimentary services like island hopping tours, expeditions tours or diving experiences.
Coron is definitely a vibrant city, so there is no shortage of places to eat well and to have a drink afterwards. Many of the hotels and hostels have beautiful places for a drink around their pool or in their roof with an attractive view. Non the less, for those travelers that feel like adventuring outside and mixing with the locals and other travelers, these are our preferences:
Bam bar complex: it’s a central patio with live music and several bars and restaurants around it. In the Brew House you will have not only locally made beer of the best quality, but also excellent food like pork schnitzel, In the Santino restaurant you will find excellent ribs, in the Chowline really good pizzas and burguers, and in the Amihan restaurant a good selection or French cuisine.
Not far from this place you will find an excellent restaurant named Pacifico, with aircon, international gastronomy, biggest and best burgers we have ever seen with beef imported from Australia. We also have Gran Italia for best quality pizzas and lasagna, also with a really good wine selection. Another restaurant worth a visit it’s the Castizo, with Spanish food and probably one of the best gazpacho and croquetas we have ever tasted. Another good restaurant it’s the Lobster King, but it might get a bit crowded sometimes, also being outside the city center could be an issue for easiness of access. For Filipino gastronomy we suggest Umami Kusina restaurant. Easy access, comfortable place and superb adobo or caldereta and a really good hot pork sizzling.
A good place to start the night out could be a rooftop bar with great views like Levines restaurant, Hop hostel or Sky Lodge resort. Or maybe a good bar with live music like Island Boy Grill or the Bam Bar we mentioned before, and has the advantage of being located in Real Street where most of the bars and bistros are located. For after dinner drinks we might suggest Kuridas bar (where you could get also a tattoo). No Name bar it’s also a local classic drinking spot for those undecided on where to go, and for those looking for a drink with company probably Yukis bar would be a really good choice. Cheers!!
