The Philippines: Coron, Which Must Be One of the Most Beautiful Islands in the World
Coron Island was one of the absolute highlights for us on the boat trip.
Everywhere you turned it seemed to just be more beautiful.
We cruised along the island and stopped at several of the interesting spots.
Isn't that water color just amazing?!
There were a few spots that made for interesting snorkeling. Some spots you could go swim through rock tunnels. Other spots had unusually warm water.
Many of the islands in the area are managed by the local tribespeople. They collect a small entrance fee when you land on the island. But in exchange they build stairs, picnic shelters and other things to make the stop more comfortable. Win-win.
They'd built stone steps over this small pass in the mountains...
...so we could admire the view...
...and get to the land-locked lake inside the island. Funny that I didn't get any shots of Soren snorkeling because he really got pretty good at it on this trip!
Here we're with our Captain Betan, all ready to dive in.
