Tubbataha Reefs Natural Park is home to some of the most beautiful coral reefs in the world. Rising from the volcanic depths of the Sulu Sea in the western Philippines, these magnificent atolls encompass an astonishing diversity of marine life.
The park is an underwater sanctuary where nature thrives. Tubbataha is the Philippines' first national marine park and is also a UNESCO World Heritage Site, a place of global importance being preserved for future generations of humankind.
Tubbataha supports an unparalleled variety of marine creatures. Colorful reef fish crowd corals growing in the shallows while sharks and pelagics haunt the steep drop offs to the open sea.
A team of rangers are stationed on the reef year-round and, from March until June, divers visit Tubbataha to experience the wonders of this unique underwater world.
Coron Island has numerous caves which are home to a rare Philippine bird whose nest (balinsasayaw) is a rare expensive popular Chinese delicacy. There are seven lagoons in Coron which are only 15-minutes apart. For more island hopping and fun, Coron offers the enchanting 219 islands and islets with white sand beaches.
Most vistors to Coron like to stay at the beautiful Sangat Islands CYC Beach, Banul, Cabugao, Debatoc, Diwaran , Kalibunan, Lagat, Tara and the developed Maricaban, Dimakya, Malcapuya, Banana and Maleroyroy.
Coron also has the world renowned dive sites which are located at the narrow passages of Sangat, Gutob and Black Islands. The main attractions are the 26 sunken Japanese naval vessels.
For those who like hot springs, there is the popular Makinit Hot Spring Resort located at entrance of Coron harbor . It has wide pools with soothing hot saltwater to treat tired muscles and heal other diseases like arthritis.
Mountain climbers and hikers will enjoy the trek up Mount Tapyas which is more than 2,000 feet above sea level with some 719 concrete steps which lead to the top. Once at the top, one can witness the full view of Coron town and harbor.
Still included in the long list of Coron’s rich natural resources is the Los Siete Pecados. When fully developed, it is sure to contribute to the success of the Coron tourism program. Part of the master plan is the construction of hanging bridges to interconnect the seven rock islands complete with diving boards, stairways, floating rest houses and slides.
