Coron Island hopping

I’m not sure, what exactly I love more…
The turquoise colour of water is real joy for my eyes.
Huge rocks around me I find absolutely outstanding.
Hundreds or maybe even thousands of incredibly colourful fish make me happy like a child.
Add amazing coral reefs. And wrecks sunk in the water nearby Coron Island. And the vivid green colour. And soft touch of sand.
I only regret that there’s no reef nor fish in my pictures.

Coron Town, Busuanga

Coron is the main town of the Busuanga, one the islands in the north of Palawan. Although it’s said that it’s difficult to find anything interesting there and the town itself is considered rather as a gateway and a good base for exploring some other attractions near Busuanga, I think it’s not true. My favourite place there is a small fishing village with houses built directly in the water. There you can see small outriggers, called bangkas in the Philippines and observe the life of the local fishing community.
