Dear travellers,
Pls read 👇-wag talaga kayo mg book ng Puerto Prinsesa flights kung ang target nyo talaga ay sa Coron - - dahil tawid dagat po yan! 😅⛵🚢
Many think Coron and El Nido are on the same island, but they’re not—Coron’s on Busuanga, El Nido’s on the Palawan mainland. They're separated by sea, so plan routes carefully!
