..Coron: Bulog Dos, Banana and Malcapuya Island..

Day 3 in Coron is much exciting because this time we'll be going out to open sea.  Before leaving Coron town my mother called me to inform that a storm signal is raised to Palawan but the weather of Coron permits us to go. Due to our excitement we left our snorkels to the tric :( glad people there help us chase the tric and brought our snorkel back and because of that we are 1 hr behind our schedule. We requested Kuya Oliver to be our tour guide for this trip.

A two hour boat ride took us to our first destination, Bulog Dos Island it a small island with fine sand and clear water. There is a sandbar connected to the island nearby during low tide however its just before noon when arrive so the sandbar is covered with ankle deep water. We just stayed there for about half an hour walking on the shore and took some pictures because there are no shed to stay on the island.

Next stop is the Banana Island, located in Bulalacao Coron. We stayed there for our lunch, sieta and of course snorkeling. Island is very beautiful and very relaxing. I fell in love with the island right after I took my first step there. I can say this is my favorite island among the three though they have their own beauty.

Our delicious lunch is prepared by our boatman, Kuya Dennis. Right after the lunch Kuya Oliver showed us the best spot for snorkeling, though its noon time it will not stop us to see the beauty underneath Banana Island that not all tourist saw. After snorkeling, the hammocks are very encouraging for an afternoon siesta. We stayed there, relax and enjoy the beauty of the island has to offer.

Our last stop is Malcapuya Island, it has a long stretch virgin beach with powdery white sand and clear water. The temperature is very hot when we arrive at the island so we've decided to relax and explore the not so developed island. 

There are hammocks on island for relaxing below the coconut trees. We want to buy some coconut but there were no available that time.

We just relax there and watch the water flowing on the shore and after some time we just can't watch the water. Though its hot because its already afternoon, we just can't resists the beach encouraging us to try. So we dip, imagine us swimming at around 2 pm in the afternoon.  


During island exploration we found a cliff, its overlooking the other islands of Coron. A breathtaking view of the sea, islands and the sky.

As much as we wanted to stay longer on the island, we cannot because people from the Coron town are informing our boatman to return due storm sensed coming. So its better for us to return than to be trapped on the island.

Our travel to Coron is one of a kind and I together with my travel buddy will surely come back to this paradise someday ^__^. See you on our next trip... But don't forget to have some souvenir shirt.
