My friends and I have long planned to go on a trip since last year. It was last February when we have stumbled upon a seat sale of Cebu Pacific. The problem was, the promo was good for one way only- Manila to Busuanga. Nevertheless, we booked the flight to finally push through with our travel plan.
However, a week before the set travel period, three of our friends backed out. Only my friend Abba and I decided to push our trip even though there were only two of us. Turned out, we had the best decision ever!
A day before our arrival, I searched for tour operators in Coron. We thought that it would be more economical to avail a tour package than a DIY trip because there were only two of us who will share for expenses. I came across the Facebook page of JY Travel and Tours.
I immediately contacted their published number and booked for Coron Ultimate Package Tour costing Php 3,500/pax. Due to time constraint, I cannot head to the bank and deposit, good thing was they allowed us to pay for our package upon our arrival in Coron.
Below was our itinerary:

Hello Busuanga!
Lolo Nonoy’s Food Station, where we took our dinner.
We enjoyed a 2-hour dip in the steamy Maquinit Hotspring. The place is nice as it was lighted by beautiful lights.
Abba and I were all smiles as we cannot contain our excitement!
Our boat was the only one who docked at Sunset beach. It has a powdery sand and clean turquoise water but we were prohibited to swim due to jellyfish which was in season.
Strolling at Sunset Beach.
My most favorite view so far, the Kayangan Lake.
Our tour guide, Kuya Bernie managed to take advantage of the cave as our frame. So much art!

Our sumptuous lunch cooked and prepared by our bangkeros!

So much solace in this place
As told by our tour guide Kuya Bernie, Siete Pecados means “Seven Sinners”
After almost an hour trek because of the heavy rains, made it to the
Mt. Tapyas peak at last!
Our dinner at Kawayanan Grill
Souvenir hunting =)
Dream Catchers!
