1. Marvel at and be one with nature
Boracay and Coron are known for their stunning white sand beaches, but both take it up a notch with other natural attractions. They include crystal clear waters (from lakes to sea), rock formations, and refreshing greenery.
Boracay also takes pride in its Mangrove Nursery, which you can conveniently explore in less than 15 minutes. Meanwhile, get the best island views of Boracay through a kite-surfing activity in Bulabog Beach or a picnic at Puka Beach. On the contrary, Coron offers amazing diving and snorkelling that bring you close to corals, turtles, jacks, stingrays, and more. Its world-famous limestone formations are likewise best seen during a kayaking or island-hopping tour.
2. Learn about the local culture
Boracay and Coron offer as much culture and history as other top Philippine destinations. At the Ati Village, learn about the Ati community of Boracay, an ethnic group in Visayas who are the first inhabitants of the locale. As Boracay faced a surge in tourism through the years, its dining and shopping culture has grown multifold and is worth discovering on your trip to the island.
Similarly, Coron is a haven of all sorts of seafood-based cuisines and food that make the most of natural resources. As cashew nuts are a popular product of the municipality, you can learn how to prepare meals and desserts made of these ingredients. The World Conservation Organization has also recognised Coron as a community conserved area. Its indigenous communities will tell you all about how they take care of Coron’s land and waters.
3. Pamper yourself to the fullest
We understand that visiting crowded attractions can pose a threat to your health even after the pandemic has ended. So, we highly recommend staying in Discovery Shores Boracay or Club Paradise Palawan for a private pampering experience.
Both resorts in the Philippines are now offering Break Free travel vouchers to help you travel to Boracay and Coron smarter and with a purpose.
