Island Destinations

Fall Off The Radar. When you need to unplug from the world, Coron is the idyllic sanctuary with its hidden lagoons, world-famous diving sites, thriving marine life and secluded stretches of sand.

Kayangan Lake

The iconic natural landmark of Coron, Palawan, Kayangan Lake is a stunning freshwater lake perched 75m above sea level on Coron Island. Climb up the view deck and be rewarded with a postcard-perfect view of the lake and its surrounding limestone karsts. Then trek down and take a dip in its crystal clear waters, ideal for snorkeling with an abundance of coral reefs, underwater rock formations and aquatic life.

Kayangan Lake is a hall of fame awardee for being the cleanest and greenest inland body of water in the Philippines and is known as the cleanest lake in Asia.

Twin Lagoons

The Twin Lagoons are two identical bodies of water separated by limetsone cliffs. Here, warm water from the open sea mixes with the pure water from the subterranean river resulting in a phenomenon called Thermocline, with the temperature of the water constantly shifting between warm and cold.
