Quick Facts
Coron Islands and El Nido are islands within Palawan that are both beautiful in their own ways. El Nido is more developed than Coron, which is home to numerous beaches and dining options. Coron is peaceful and best for snorkeling, diving, or finding isolated lagoons.
Planes fly from Manila or Cebu to El Nido, but Coron has more frequent flights with more affordable rates. Both islands can now be easily explored due to the fast ferries that traverse the two islands.
"Accommodation-wise, the prices can be steeper in El Nido, although Coron can provide much value for money. In the matter of food, there may be plenty of choices available in El Nido, though Coron is almost catching up." Both islands are must-visit destinations for anyone seeking to experience the natural beauty of Palawan.
