The classic version of this day trip is run with a native Filipino motorised outrigger banca boat. But there is also the option — at a higher price and subject to availability — to upgrade to our Admiral 38 sailing catamaran. See the price schedule for the banca and catamaran versions of the tour in the RATES section.

The trip can and is tailored on account of a participant’s interests and weather and sea conditions. Some participants want am overdose of beaches like Malcapuya, Bulog and Banana islands.

Others want a sampling of beach, limestone and mangrove kayaking as well as snorkeling. This is the classic Tribal Adventures Calamian sea safari and the basis itinerary is as follows:

Pick up from your Coron hotel at 8.30am. Depart from central Coron’s banca port around 9.00am for the  Ryukan Channel – a winding mangrove estuary and a shortcut to Sangat Island, the largest limestone island in the Calamian after Coron. There we snorkel a Japanese wartime gunboat and/or dip into hot seawater springs.

Interspersing paddling and cruising, we arrive at Lusong Wreck for superlative snorkeling before paddling to Pass Island and a dose of beach culture on one of the Calamian’s best white sandy beaches. Snorkeling’s also great with giant clams, coral reefs and fish.

We’re back at Coron around 5pm, and will have you back in your Coron hotel by 6pm. Everything is included from pick up to drop off.
