As a combination of 70% freshwater and 30% saltwater, this natural wonder provides an otherworldly sensation as you pass through the thermocline and feel the temperature shift around you.

Later, go to CYC Beach named after the Coron Youth Club, offering quiet and relaxing beach getaway. The beach has white sand and clear waters, dotted with mangrove trees and rock formations that make for a beautiful beachscape. It is an ideal spot for swimming, sunbathing, and picnicking.

Lots of interesting things to see and spots to visit
The El Nido island hopping tour was a lot of fun. We got to visit several beautiful islands and lagoons, and even went snorkeling. It's a great way to explore the natural beauty of Palawan. And, I highly recommend the Underground River tour in Puerto Princesa. The cave system is incredible and our guide was very knowledgeable.

A Trip to Bohol and around
The Bohol Countryside tour was a great way to experience the local culture and history. My tour of the Chocolate Hills in Bohol was one of the highlights of my trip. The unique geological formations were unlike anything I had ever seen before. The Tarsier Sanctuary in Bohol was a must-see on my tour. These tiny primates were adorable and the sanctuary did an amazing job of educating visitors about conservation efforts.

Coron Island Hopping Tour - Just AMAZING!!!
The Coron Island Hopping Tour was a lot of fun. We got to visit several beautiful islands and lagoons, and even went snorkeling. It's a must-do when visiting Coron. On my fourth day in Coron, the Coron Wreck Diving tour was an amazing experience.
