It was with a heavy heart that we set sail from the port of El Nido for supposedley the 6-7 hour boat journey to the island of Coron, which is famous for it's Japanese wrecks and diving. The journey started well enough; we quickly bagged a space on the open air top deck and got talking to a nice Canadian couple (Kevin and Brandie) and a girl from America (Frieda) and just relaxed in the sun. ...

lame (and possibly fake) tour guide
hey! we just went to Coron last month and we were so in love with it! definitely the best place in the Philippines that I've been to so far (haven't been to El Nido yet). it's just a shame to hear about your experience with that Edmondo who was claiming to be a tour guide. just an advice from someone from the Phils, be very cautious about getting tours from those people approaching you out of nowhere and bugging you about tours. personally, i never get tours from them. i check for recommendations from a trusted online forum to know which tour agency to get and we were definitely very happy with our experience.
