Our flight back to Manila via Zestair was at 11:15AM. The minute we got up our bed, we went to buy pasalubong and TShirts. We bought casuy infront of Islands View Inn, next to a lotto station, danggit and pusit in the market, keychains, ref magnet and Tshirts.

We went to CoronGaleri the same time as yesterday. We paid P950 each for this tour and this only includes one island - Malcapuya Island. Malcapuya is pretty far, located near Culion Island. Our group were called and led us to the same port. Expected travel time: 1 hour.

8AM was the time given to us by CoronGaleri. We must be in their office to join with other groups. In their office, we filled up forms and waivers and paid tour fee in advance. For Coron Island Tour (B1), we paid P650 each.There are snorkeling masks and fins for rent for P100 each. Waterproof cases for digital cameras are also available for rent. At 8:30AM, we were fetched by our boatman and led us to our boat. At 9AM, we started our tour.

After a quick rest in Coron Reef Pension , we walked towards CoronGaleri where we availed our tours. We asked people for directions and didn't have problems locating it. CoronGaleri  is one of those that offers the cheapest packages. I didn't make any reservations prior because based from what I read, CoronGaleri advises to just go to their office to make reservations right there and then.

I really wanted to stay in Princess of Coron because aside from its rave reviews, it has interesting shower cubicle :) However, 2 of my friends wanted a cheap room that would fit us all and then my hubby was neutral about it, needless to say majority won. We ended up reserving a room in Coron Reef Pension for 3 nights.

The day I fell in love with snorkeling was the day we went to Ligpo Island, Batangas for our 3rd year wedding anniversary. Since then, I couldn't help but look forward to some snorkeling trips. And where to go for an ultimate snorkeling experience? Where else but in CORON!! I was lucky I was able to book 2 tickets (travel date: June 15-18, 2012) for me and my hubby with Airphil's piso promo (Manila-Busuanga) for P676 and then Zestair's P12 promo (Busuanga-Manila) for P798. Sum it up, total amount of round trip ticket for 2 is P1473.44. Later on 2 other friends joined us.
