Ed Lapiz advise for exploring Coron Palawan

Q - Tito some tips naman po on exploring Coron?! 
A -
Talagang gagawin mong tour operator ang Tito???
Bueno....
1. Stay on the main (is)land for affordable accommodation. 
Stay on the resort islands for "luxurious" arrangements.
On the main ( is)land, the place to stay if you like comfort, amenities, sea views, etc : TWO SEASONS hotel. Basta: Two Seasons na.
2. GO island hopping.
Visit the lakes and lagoons BUT
if you like to spend for ease, privacy, flexibility, speed, etc.,
hire a private boat. Yung iyo/inyo lang. Kayo lang ang sakay.
And for less cost and less busisi, hire a boat from the owner, not through tour agencies. Choose your kind of boat before hiring one.
3. Package tours usually include picnic lunch.
Sa boat niluluto ng bangkero ang lunch / barbecue. YOU MAY WANT TO JUST MAKE BAON YOUR LUNCH, either kayo ang mag-balot o pabalot kayo sa hotel nyo. I think your food would be cleaner and more suited to your taste. Malaki pa sigurong bawas sa total cost yung lunch.
4. Go to the islands as early as possible.
So much time is wasted at the port while your bangkeros make paper work with the Coast Guard, get and load your lunch picnic food, rent kayaks for you, etc etc. The arrangements that could be made the day before, make na para sa next umaga, punta na kayo agad sa islands, ahead of the multitudes!
5. Wear aqua shoes and other protective clothing.
6. Bring first aid kits. You can never can tell, sabi nga nila.
Be careful. The Coron hospital does not seem to be equipped well enough.
7. Never miss the Maquinit Sea-Salt Water HOT springs. But best to dip in the early morning to avoid the throngs.
8. 3 nights 4 days should be a good minimum length of stay.
Second day for island tours, third day/ morning for Maquinit and the rest of the day in the town.
Magandang puntahan ang Concepcion Falls sa Busuanga!
IF YOU would, USE ONLY "NATURAL", BIO DEGRADABLE, non-toxic, non-pollutant, water-based SUNSCREEN. Mahabag sa sea life.
