1.Kayangan Lake
Kayangan Lake in Coron is among the cleanest and clearest in Asia. It’s roughly a 100-step climb up, then down, so taking a dip there is a must to refresh yourself. Make sure to bring your life jacket; you won’t be as buoyant since it’s fresh water.
Don’t rush to go to the lake though. When you reach the midpoint of your climb, your guide will most likely show you where you can take pictures of the gorgeous lagoon (in photo above). It is said to be the most photographed site in Coron.

4. Towering Limestone Cliffs
The majestic limestone cliffs of Palawan are not just a sight to behold. Some of them are actually perfect (and safe) for cliff jumping.
A boat ride will take you to the jump sites, which range in height between 8 and 20 meters. A local expert will also accompany you as you scale the cliffs and prep for the most exciting free-fall of your life. To pump up the experience, avail of the group sessions.
5.Diverse Wildlife
Palawan is a haven for various animal species. There’s Arena Island, a sanctuary for turtles, and Rasa Island, which is mainly for birds. Then there’s Calauit, a two-and-a-half-hour ride from the Coron town proper.
The Calauit Game Preserve and Wildlife Sanctuary hosts zebras, giraffes, impalas, waterbucks and gazelles from Africa, and you can watch them roaming free alongside the Calamian deer, bear cat and Palawan peacock pheasant, among other endemic Philippine species. Don’t miss out on a chance to feed the giraffes simply by holding out twigs with their favorite leaves!
