what's going on everybody this is Island Hopper TV coming to you from Coron Town here
in the Philippines is palan's second most famous island maybe the most famous depending on what
you like we're starting out here at the market we're actually doing some island hopping today
but you can see they've got butchers right there hello sir good morning hello sir good
morning on The Floating Bridge all right so today we're going island hopping out to Pan
Island from pan Town Port out here you will see kagay on Lake twin Lagoon Barracuda Lagoon maybe
do some snorkeling hello sir how are you all right travel time is 15 to 20 minutes and we're
off so we're here in kayangan lake this is actually
an area you can walk up and get nice views as well but yeah look at this
place [Music]
yeah the boat ride out here took about 15 minutes and once you're here you walk across this wooden
plank and then you walk up some stairs to a amazing view point and then you go down the
other side towards the lake where you can swim [Music] fresh water 30% salt water here on this
[Music] Lake cool we stayed here for about an hour and swam in the lake
for a half hour and then we headed back they don't really sell much
food out here but they do have some snacks like coconuts and deep friy
[Music] [Applause] [Music] banana most people consider Kayangan lake to be the best activity
to do while here in Coron although I would say that's because of the Viewpoint more so
than the lake with the view of the Lagoon here and we're actually headed to what I consider to
be the better Lake this is Barracuda Lake and the boat ride takes around 10 to 15 minutes to
get there it's very Scenic as you can see and the reason they call them Lakes is because it
is 70% saltwater and 30% fresh water and it's in the actual Island not here on the
ocean [Music]
now depending on the time of year you arrive in Kuran there may be many boats in this area
in this case we were here in September this is actually off season it's not peak season
but you can see there were still too many boats so we had to actually walk
across another boat to get to the dock the walk out to the lake from the dock dock is
actually quite interesting you can see it winds through this rock formation and then you arrive
at the lake here where they have some deep cliff diving so if you like free diving this
is your spot okay so we're going to go check out this Cliff right here and see what's down
there
and you can contact our guide here when you're in Coron hello if you want to experience uh this kind
of travel to book in The Experience travel for uh travel and tours so it's amazing here for thank
you
hello
sir what do you have there sir uh is that seafood
seafood yeah boat captain oh hi hi wow what is that oh my God so
cool one thing that may be interesting to you is they do have these floating house hotels you
can stay at look them up on [Music] Google yeah so here we are at Twin Lagoon we're going to do
some kaying and go from the first Lagoon to the second Lagoon but you can see very beautiful in
here and they have some free-diving down there in the Twin Lagoon so let's see what's out here
for me personally I found the twin Lagoon to be one of my favorite activities above the
Lakes even so if you guys like lagoons this is the spot to do some kayaking be sure to
get one of those see-through kayaks while here because it's really awesome [Music] experience
[Music]
you want to walk across the stairs instead of paddle [Music] underneath that's a good
boat sir but I have no money on me sir the boats it's good good Boat Boat yeah your
boat made of Styrofoam huh and bamboo Pearl pearlas nice where's the beer
sir oh very good sir got to wear life jackets mandatory so don't even think about asking why
so each individual area has a different caretaker for the island and there's different environmental
fees that you have to pay to get into each place it ranges between 150 pesos to 200 pesos per
person but most of these places their caretakers require you to wear the life jacket this is
[Music]
beautiful
[Music]
now we're arriving at one of the best beaches on Kanan Island this one's called Bol [Music]
beach now let's talk about Kuran things to do while here so you can do mostly tayion
Lake you can do twin Lagoon and you can do Barracuda Lagoon very easily within the same
trip we're also at a beach here there's three different one there's Smith beach vanual beach
and then there's another one just over the way that's on the other side of Pon Island so you
can do beaches after you do the lagoons and the lakes and you get a view points so really a lot
to do here just on the island hopping tour if you go towards the South part of the island or
the East part of the island you'll also find find other activities such as a safari I take it back
it's actually on the west side of the island so they have a safari with giraffes and zebras
pretty cool right because this island right here really is just like an African savannah you know
that banel beach is a good place to have your lunch they don't actually cook out here so no
restaurants you bring the food with you from cran town that you buy at the market and your
captain will cook it for you in most cases lunch here got some pork some chicken some
rice [Music] yummy you can arrive by ferry from elnido or you can actually arrive by ferry from
mendoro but the preferred method is flying into Busa Wanga airport which is really really the
main area of the island and you can fly into busanga from elnido you can also fly in from
Porto Princessa Manila seu city so many different flights coming into the airport here it is a small
airport and it is a prop plane but look at seu Pacific or Philippine Airlines as well as air
swift those are three different airlines that fly right in here now when you're in the Philippines
be ready to drink San Miguel Beer they also have red horse but I prefer San Miguel light
it's a light beer uh it's perfect for a hot day yeah so here we are at Sunset Lagoon the reason
they call it sunset Lagoon is because if you look straight that way you actually get the sunset but
right behind me here is the Hidden Beach inside of a cave so we're going to try and kayak in
[Music] there
oh wow never been here before hello
hello aird right yeah
there's a
[Music] snake
beach one of the big things that stands out as a difference between Quran and elnido is
I would say here in Quran things are just a little bit closer to together uh on the
island of Kuran in particular whereas in Elo it seems like you've got to go a long way to
get to the island or islands and things are just kind of spread out you're on a boat kind
of going all around uh quite a bit whereas here in Quran it seems like you're just one activity
after another quite close 5 minute rides here and there so that's one of the things that I've
found to be very convenient about Quran and seems like the lagoons here are better we're
actually going to do the elnido video coming soon here so if you guys are interested in
heading to elnido definitely watch that I'll put the link below in the description and in
the comments also check out our other Channel Island Hopper travel highlights which is more
behind the scenes raw [Music] footage and here we are arriving at skeleton wreck this here is
an old Chinese fishing vessel it's about 5 m deep at its most shallow we'll see what's down here uh
yeah this is a beach kind of interesting lots of [Music] snorkeling [Music] yeah
[Music] a
[Music]
Amo town this is Kuran
Town what a place so here's a bit of information about Quran town so it's not actually on the
island of Karan it's on Busa Wanga which is the bigger island in the area where the airport
is well here in Kuran Town don't expect too much nightlife or any real excitement like
that it's really just a dive Outpost where you can get equipment and gear very minimally uh
they don't have much here they have a few massage areas some restaurants but that's about [Music]
it
hello
sponsor thank
you
[Music]
and as I was cruising around here I noticed that they had some Tik Tock activities but
really it's aerobic people are staying active using music this is common all
across the Philippines but they're definitely doing this out here in in Kuran town and on
that note that's going to conclude this episode of Island Hopper TV from piron
