Coron Island Tours: Kayangan, Twin Lagoon, Barracuda and Ultimate Tours (Checked Oct 2026)

How this page is built: we compile operator timetables, government and park notices, and booking-platform listings. Each figure names its source and the month we checked it. Nothing here is first-hand. Coron operators name their routes differently, so compare the stop list rather than the tour letter.

Figures marked "reported by" come from secondary guides; confirm them with your operator or the Coron Municipal Tourism Office before you rely on them.

Kayangan, Twin Lagoon and Barracuda: which tour has which

Stop	Budget A	Budget B	Ultimate	Super Ultimate	Entrance fee	Source, checked Oct 2026
Kayangan Lake	Yes	No	Yes	Yes	PHP 300	Experience Coron (routes); reported by Van Hire Palawan (fee)
Twin Lagoon	No	Yes	Yes	Yes	PHP 200	Experience Coron (routes); reported by Van Hire Palawan (fee)
Barracuda Lake	No	Yes	No	Yes	PHP 200	Experience Coron (routes); reported by Van Hire Palawan (fee)

The lake entrance fees are reported by Van Hire Palawan, Apr 2026, and we found no official Coron fee schedule to confirm them. Whether a tour price already covers them depends on the operator, so read the inclusions line. Coron also collects a municipal environmental fee of about PHP 200 per adult and PHP 150 for minors, as explained by the mayor to Brigada News in Apr 2023; full detail is on Palawan fees.
