About Coron
Coron is a world-class diving destination in northern Palawan, famous for its sunken Japanese WWII warships lying in crystal-clear, warm waters. Beyond the wrecks, Coron offers freshwater and saltwater lakes nestled in volcanic limestone, stunning lagoons, and hot springs set in dramatic rocky landscapes.
Kayangan Lake - often called the cleanest lake in the Philippines - is set inside a volcanic crater accessible by climbing limestone steps. Twin Lagoon offers the unique experience of swimming between a saltwater and freshwater lagoon connected by a gap in the rock wall. Coron combines excellent diving with above-water natural beauty.
