Visit Duration

Entrance Fee

₱200 (~$4 USD) per person. Entrance fee included in most group tours (₱1,500-1,800 per person all-inclusive). Private boat tours ₱2,700-3,800 depending on group size, entrance fees separate. Kayak rental ₱1,000-1,500 per day if arranged in advance from Coron town.

Best Time to Visit

November to May (dry season) for the best weather and calm seas. Visit early morning (before 9 AM) or late afternoon to avoid peak crowds and enjoy better lighting for photos. Low tide is ideal for swimming through the underwater cave passage. The thermocline effect is experienced year-round.

How to Get There

From Coron Town, join an island hopping tour (Tour A or Super Ultimate Tour include Twin Lagoon). Boat ride takes 45 minutes. Private boats can be chartered from Calamian Tourist Boat Association. To reach Coron: fly Manila to Busuanga Airport (1 hour), then van to Coron town (30-45 min, ₱150). Book kayaks in town before departure if planning to paddle.

What to Expect

Expect a 45-minute scenic boat ride through limestone-dotted seascape to reach Twin Lagoon. Upon arrival, you'll see towering karst cliffs rising from crystal-clear emerald waters. During low tide, swim through a mystical underwater passage (about 3 meters) to the second lagoon, or climb a wooden ladder over the rocks at high tide. Experience the surreal thermocline where you feel distinct warm and cold water layers while swimming. Kayaking through the lagoons offers spectacular views of the prehistoric limestone formations. The site can get crowded midday, so timing is key for a serene experience.
