Calumbuyan, Coral Garden, Ship Wreck
Our 3rd and last day was indulging into the salt walter, hehehee. We should have started our tour by 8am but we asked our tour guide, Stephanie to move it around 10am because 3 of our companions are not feeling well, they took their medicine after breakfast and have their rest. We are all ready by 10am but unfortunately, Khibong didn’t make it, he had flu so he decided to stay and spend the whole day resting.
Our first stop is Calumbuyan Island, which is about 1.5hrs from town boat dock, as we go along to Calumbuyan we saw a huge area of Pearl Farm but we are not allowed to go near from it because its private. Calumbuyan is a relaxing place; they have a wide area for visitors. Tables are shed by the trees, so it is really relaxing and a place you can enjoy the water. It is where you can see a lot of various fishes and different sizes, great corals not far away from the shore where even kids will enjoy their snorkeling adventure. We had pusit, grilled pork, vegetable and banana for lunch. You can relax yourself by staying at their hammocks. We stayed for an hour only at Calumbuyan because we wanted to go to Maquinit hot spring after day tour, so we are maximizing our time for each destination but too bad, we didn't make it..
15 to 20 minutes ride from Calumbuyan is Coral Garden. The name itself explained what place it is. Big Corals, silent waters, sea urchins and a little under water current, that’s Coral Garden. You can pass by a part of the Pearl Farm upon approaching the Area of Coral Garden. It is here that you will be amazed of the big corals it is really nice to look at. Sinubukan ni jane ang mamingwit sa site na ito, hehehehee. She borrowed the fishing gear from the boat man but too bad wala siyang nakuha kahit isa,LoL! Try harder tagjane! i know nag enjoy ka naman. =)
Not far from Coral garden site is the Lusong gunboat shipwreck. It's one of the Japanese ship that sank during WWII, yes! as in World War II and it is still there, according to our guide it has a total of 13 ships around Coron bay. We did enjoy our snorkeling moments here because there are tons of fishes to swim with, just feed them and surely they'll come on your way. Divers love to have their scuba at any of the shipwreck, where in they can go inside and have their adventure in the whole ship, exciting! and talking about jane's pamimingwit?? Finally she got 2! oh yeah! heheheee, super saya nung nakakuha na siya, at last! nice job! she even gave it nalang to the boatman para may maiuwing ulam, uyyy! ang bait naman.. hehehee.
The original plan was to go to Maquinit Hot Spring to refresh ourselves, but then when we arrived at the lodge, the boys decided not to dahil pagod na daw sila at hapon na,(huhuhuu, so bad i was expecting it pa naman). But it's still okay because we refreshed ourselves, us the ladies (me, Gina and Jane) we refreshed and we chilled ourselves with a "Sex on the beach" cocktail drink served by the lady at the mini bar of Darayonan. We were just so curious about the drink's name that's why we tried it, hehehehe. Cute name isn't it? LoL!
We slept early, early as after Survivor Philippines, kasi sobrang adik yung mga kasamahan ko sa palabas na yan hehehee, We slept early because our flight back to Manila is the next day.
To Sum it all ,my Coron Experience was a Blast! --- SUper saya, Super pagod, Super Amazing. I should say Coron is truly Blessed place with amazing nature with underwater adventure.

How to get there :
- Manila to Coron flight is everyday , once a day by Cebu Pacific, Air Philippines and Zest Air.
Where to stay :
- There are lots of lodges and hotels in Coron downtown, you can visit www.darayonan.com
What to Eat :
- Try marinated danggit, not daeng or dried fish ha, marinated lang siya.. so yummy. you gotta try it. If you're staying at darayonan asked it for breakfast. But i guess it is available in the public market. (i forgot what is the native name of it, LoLz!)
What to bring:
- Repellant Lotion, Aqua shoes (better than slipper because of the sea urchins), Sun block.
Pasulubong:
