Ultimate Coron Kayaking with Banca
This day trip is an exploration by kayak and native outrigger banca boat of the entire northwest coast of Coron Island, the direction of travel dependent upon the prevailing wind. (In general, from June to September we will head from west to east and from October to May from east to west.) It is very much NOT a bucket list trip.
You will discover what regular tourists on group trips miss: private aqua-blue lagoons, a cave or two, wildlife like sea eagles, kingfishers, monkeys, monitor lizards & sea turtles. In short, serenity! With the convenience of riding a motorized outrigger banca with personal sea kayaks atop, we effort to give the tourist traps a wide berth, to allow you to better fall in love with the serenity, beauty and majesty of Coron Island by paddling.
In so doing, you will glide in to the nooks and crannies of an environment that is in National Geographic’s Top Ten list of places to visit on the planet. Return to the resort in the afternoon.
