Visit Some of the Best Snorkeling Sites in the Philippines With a Coron Package



Expert Author Beatrice Afra
The Philippines has a lot of amazing snorkeling sites to offer. One of the top destinations for diving and snorkeling is Coron, Palawan. Many tourists book a Coron package all year round for a chance to snorkel in clear waters, see the famous Japanese shipwrecks and swim in the cleanest lake in the country.
Coron's amazing islands and other natural wonders add to its beauty and draw tourists from all over the globe. You'll see powdery white sand beaches, lakes and lagoons when you book a Coron package and go on an island hopping tour. of course, no island hopping trip is complete without you trying to snorkel. Make sure to bring your gear. But if you don't have any, you'll find snorkeling gear and aqua shoes for rent in town. You may even ask your guide to find one for you.
A Coron package with island hopping tour also includes the service of a seasoned tour guide. You can be sure that you will be able to visit some of the most amazing snorkeling spots in the area.
Coral Garden at Atwayan Beach
One of the best snorkeling sites you'll find in Coron is the Coral Garden at Atwayan Beach. You'll see different corals, and various species of fish. If you'd like to feed the fish, make sure to ask your tour guide if it is allowed. There are some areas in Palawan where fish feeding is prohibited.
Skeleton Wreck
Another snorkeling site worth mentioning is the Skeleton Wreck. If you love diving, this is also a good diving site. You'll find a 1940's sunken boat some 5 miles deep. It surely looks eerie for first timers. So most people are content with simply snorkeling around the area.
Barracuda Lake
Barracuda Lake, like the Skeleton wreck serves as a snorkeling spot and diving site. According to myths, the lake is called that way because there's a giant barracuda living in the lake.
If you love to learn about local myths, be a little chatty with your tour guide. Most of them are friendly and would tell you stories.
Twin Peaks
Another site you may visit when you book a Coron package with island hopping tour is The Twin Peaks. This site is a bit deeper but you'll also find a lot of corals here. Just be careful with the resident sea urchins when snorkeling!
If you like island hopping and snorkeling, getting a Coron package will definitely be worth it! Bring your family and friends with you on your trip. As traveling is more fun in the Philippines when you do it with people you love.
