Hi guys, my name is Christy and together with my husband Lukas, we've been traveling the
stunning Philippines.
In this travel vlog, we will take you along with us to Coron, a place with the most beautiful
landscape I have ever seen in my life.
So let's dive in.
We arrived in Manila and from there, we got a one-hour flight to Coron.
These are our first days in the Philippines and we are surprised by everything.
First of all, everyone speaks English here.
It is one of their two national languages.
Secondly, it is mostly a Christian country, which is quite rare in Asia.
Thirdly, all the locals are super friendly and kind.
Coron Island is a tiny island in Palawan.
To explore Coron Island, it's best to stay on Busuanga Island in Coron Town.
And why should you visit this place anyways?
Well, if you love turquoise water, boat trips and snorkeling among beautiful corals, you
will love this place.
Alright, we safely arrived to Coron and most of the flights come here early in the morning,
so we're just going to take it easy for the rest of the day.
I'm actually quite jet-lagged, so we're just going to head to the Coron Town, explore it
and we're going to get some lunch.
The very lively streets of this lovely town are lined with colorful shops, restaurants
and local markets.
The traffic here is kind of fun to watch and it seems like they only have one rule here,
which is just go.
We are on the edge of the town in a port and there is a public market right behind me and
here you can see all the ships that we're going to use tomorrow for our tour and in
the back you can see the beautiful limestone rock formations.
Our choice for today's lunch is a restaurant called Pacifico and it's number one on TripAdvisor.
The prices are kind of high for Philippines, but the food looks awesome.
If there is one national dish that you absolutely have to try in the Philippines, it's a podo.
After this delicious lunch, we booked our boat tour for the next day.
We went with Eclipse Travel & Tours.
As you know, we are taking it easy today, so what is a better way to relax than go on a massage?
Getting a massage in the Philippines is a must-do experience.
They are so good and very affordable.
We got one almost every other day.
And now we are finally back in the hostel and I'm going to turn in the girls tomorrow.
I'm going to see you guys bright and early.
Good morning!
Today is going to be a busy day.
We are doing a boat tour, so we need a lot of energy, a lot of strength.
See you on the boat!
So, that is our boat, the third one.
We made it!
We just arrived to Kayagan Lake, which is actually the clearest lake in the whole Philippines
and it's made out of 70% fresh water and 30% salt water.
It's beautiful, but it's quite packed with tourists.
We're going to spend here one hour.
We're going to try to find ourselves some spot without people.
Wish us luck!
Let's go!
The middle of the lake is kind of boring because there is just sand in the bottom,
but it gets very interesting once you get to the side where these cliffs are.
It's so beautiful there, so I recommend to go there.
Another famous lake is Barracuda Lake.
Despite its name, there are no barracudas in the lake.
It is composed of both salt water and fresh water
and you can feel the layers of cold and hot water while swimming.
This right here is our third stop of the day and we're going to have a lunch here,
but before lunch, we just did a beautiful snorkeling in the coral reef garden.
Lunch was delicious and we now continue to the Skeleton Wreck,
which is a wreck of a small fishing boat which starts at a depth of 4 meters.
The shipwreck was kind of cool, but there were so many people,
but we still managed to enjoy it.
And there is a ship about to kill me, so I have to move.
Our last stop of this epic day was the Twin Lagoon.
This was honestly the most outstanding landscape I have ever seen.
The lagoon is made up of two bodies of water separated by limestone cliffs.
Just look at the turquoise water.
I dare you, tell me, have you ever seen a more beautiful landscape?
If so, let me know in the comments where, because I am truly curious.
While making our way back, we watched the sunset,
reflecting on how lucky and blessed we are to be able to experience such a beautiful day.
To reach the hotel, we had to take a fun tricycle at the port,
which is a common mode of transportation here in the Philippines.
Don't ask me how six people fit into such a tiny vehicle.
It is still a mystery to me.
Good morning, guys!
Yesterday was a boat tour day and today we are creating an adventure for ourselves.
We are renting scooters and we are going to explore the Busuanga Island itself.
But first, coffee. This is the best on the island.
Secondly, rent a scooter, get gas, find a way and hit the road.
We are almost there and this beautiful view just opened up right in front of us.
We've made it! Marcela Beach!
This paradise is real.
I cannot believe it, but it's just us and a couple of other people.
I've seen no tourists here so far, only locals, and it's just so, so pretty.
Could this be any more perfect?
Like, this is really undiscovered paradise.
We found the cutest little restaurant called Macky's.
It's very close to the beach.
This is the menu. I love it.
What an epic day today, again.
It doesn't really matter if I am on a scooter or if I am on the boat that is heading back to the port during sunset.
I just feel so alive here and honestly, it's the best feeling.
And that's the feeling that I'm going for when I'm traveling.
And I'm going to see you guys tomorrow.
Breakfast is completed and we are now heading to the port to catch our boat.
Welcome to our first stop. Welcome to Malkapuya Island.
This is a beautiful, narrow, long island that has a very, very idyllic beach.
Look for yourself.
This island is so beautiful.
Unfortunately, we only had one hour here, so now we are packed and we are excited to explore the other island.
We arrived to another Coron's beautiful destination, which is the Banana Island.
It is famous because of its S-shape beach and also it's supposed to resemble a banana.
But honestly, we've done some drone shots and I just don't see it. Am I the only one?
There are smaller beaches than there were on the previous island, but it's just so beautiful, picture perfect.
There are hammocks everywhere, so we can relax and it's just a paradise.
We just arrived to the last destination of the day, which is the Detaitayan Island.
It is special because of this beautiful, big sandbar that goes straight to the ocean.
We are on a road that I built with my own two hands.
I've met friends on the way, people chosen to make a stand.
As the sun slowly started to slip away, we made our way back to Coron Town.
But the day is not over yet, because we are going to visit the Makinit Hot Springs,
which are only a 10-minute scooter ride away from Coron Town.
What is interesting about these hot springs is that they are the only salty water hot springs in whole Philippines
and that they are fueled by a volcano nearby.
Is it hot?
Super hot.
Whatever you do, don't come here during the day, during the heat, because this water is so, so warm.
Alright guys, this is the end of our adventure here in Coron.
Tomorrow we are taking a ferry to El Nido, so don't forget to hit the subscribe button for more awesome videos.
And I'll see you in the next one.
