Which one is better between the two popular spots in Palawan: Coron, or El Nido?
The two places have a lot in common – not just in terms of what there is to do at each one, but also in terms of pricing, crowds, and overall experience. If you can manage to spend 2 to 3 days in each, it will give you a chance to island hop in both places and get the best of both. However, if you are short on time, and can only afford to pick one, which is better when it comes down to Coron vs. El Nido? Watch this vlog to find out!
Hi, your video was quite helpful 😊. I am planning my Philippines trip in dec and plan to do the el nido to coron expedition . Do you have a recommendation about which tour company is the best . I have been looking for 2 nights 3 days and I am confused about which tour company to go with (keeloma, buhay, outpostx el nido paradise etc)
I have been to both… El Nido for me "day & night"
Shoutout from Vancouver! Missing the tropics. Thanks for this. It helped me weigh which one I should go — and decided to go for both😂 Hope I get to visit Philippines too soon! 🌴🇵🇭
I was in El Nido last year. Love the island hopping on tour A. The canoe lagoon was great. I really liked the el Nido town to be at in the evening. And nacpan is a great beach to go to the next day after island hopping to just chill and rest.
The only way to El Nido is a 4 hour curving road from Puerto Princess. Most the of the tourist rent scooters
I have stayed at both.
I much prefer El Nido. The town is more central to the beach and there's an overall more centralised atmosphere.
Also, you don't have freedom to explore on kayak on your own in Coron. But in El nido, you can hire a kayak right there on the beach and just head off on your own!! 😁
Love it ❤
I am going next month and need a drone photographer, can you recommend one?
We have visited both islands last month. As per our experience it's better to stay in Coron for hopping tours because we were less people in the boat (max 7-10 people) and the places we visited was less crowd, El Nido tours are always more crowded (20-25 people). But Coron has no beach in main island, El Nido has such amazing options such as Las Cabanas, Lio, Nacpan. I hope it will be useful for those reading this ♥
Thank you so much for this insight ☺️
Mganda tlga Lugar sa coron palawan…
Thank you for the insights… we are on our way to Coron & El-Nido in a couple months time
Amping!!!!!!!

If you love sand bar you should check kalanggaman island
I prefer coron more but el nido is beautiful as well..but if i have to choose i pick coron first
Proud Filipino here…..That's why I'm teaching our own Tagalog(Filipino) language to European students and other nationalities. Try Punta Sebaring along Balabac that's the best beach for me Aim high Filipino People
We been both el Nido and Coron and now we live here Coron for 3 years now. And for me I Will choice CORON. There is more to discover here and Not yet discovered, more white fine sand beach as in long fine sand good to relax and Not crowded called Marcilla, Alito beach and Lakdayan. Perfect to relax and chill and easy to access cause. Its only by land. Honestly we didn't see everything here yet for 3years. A lot of islands and also the highest mountain, Mt. Dalara. So beautiful 😍 we still improving coron and we still have more to offer.
How's the cellular reception in coron?
As a Filipino living in Europe, I would personally not recommend haggling. Even though prices are more expensive that you'd expect from a third world country, you should still remember these people are extremely poor and have likely no other means of income – even less so if you think about some other people probably get cuts (i.e., the hotel if they helped organized your trip). I speak from personal experience as I lived on a touristy island like Palawan and have friends whose families are in the business. Their prices are fair and just enough to support their families' BASIC needs that most of us in the west take for granted. I gladly pay whatever they ask, and this is coming from a normally cheap ass Filipino. So please, tourists of the developed world, bear in mind you are WAY WAY WAY more well-off than the locals are, even if you don't feel like it. Support their livelihood and don't haggle 🙂
May I ask? What drone did you use? Thanks
Where did you stay in both places?
Hi! Who did you contact for your private tours? Did you book online or you booked through a local?
Who else loves to watch solo trips videos but you’ll never get the opportunity to go on one?😂😂..I can’t be the only one
Tough choice…Coron for the sunset from Bacau Bay; El Nido for the action at Lio and Pukka.
Been to Coron… definitely a very beautiful place, so beautiful the tours would leave me speechless. Also considered going to El Nido, but that place is quite expensive.
That was helpful dear, thank you!
Does not matter which one is better since they are both in one region. Palawan wins.
Do u have plans if coming back to the philippines?😍💕
Corong Corong yes
So which one is it? I dont knw.

Sounds like El Nido is better. Their main concern is price and its crowded. Should not take away from its beauty.
My experience in el Nido is very amazing.
There are wonderful corals and the secret lagun is my favorite
The rock formation is beautiful and hight that's why it's secret.
The tour guide will cook for you and drop you off in your own private place
With no one disturbing.
It's not very crowded and I recommend el Nido than coron
still a dozen of beaches in Palawan is unheard of https://youtu.be/BElqPqbC1Rk
Try Tao Expedition if you want to witness the beauty of Coron 🙂
been to el nido and it was so beautiful everywhere you go and mostly on the main island i stayed in is somewhat lively and i like the people are so friendly… coron is surely my next adventure for the same 2 weeks in el nido… can't wait for now, really…
wow amazing place and video, all going well, im off top Elnido & Coran Palawan, Cebu, Oslob and Apo Island next year … then my dream retire there… …:o)n thanks for sharing.. def something to save for… take care and best wishes.. stay safe..
Very informative and helpful for those whose currently looking for a honeymoon place too like me😊 thank you for sharing this
I loved El Nido but it was crowded and more expensive. I think Coron is better and I agree with your points here. I'll choose Coron over El Nido if I go back to Philippines on a holiday again
Coron has a sand bar island!!! I’d def pick coron. It also has most shipwreck sites. They have shallow and deep wrecks good for snorkel and scuba.
Planning to go next year. I'll figure it out by then where to visit. But at the moment leaning more towards Coron. Enjoying your channel!
Beautiful.I am Adeel Riaz from Karachi Pakistan
Been to both places and I prefer and highly recommend El Nido. There are a lot of activities and varieties to do in El nido and it is much livelier.
I love your style. Cool sitting room
Coron or El nido wait what!!i like both Philippines nalng haha…
El Nido
Been to both, and I feel Coron is the best for my laid back personality. El Nido is too much of a spring break type vibe to me. Went during Feb. was told April/May is the best time to go for max sun
Coron El Nido
Coral Limestone cliffs
Less crowded More amenities
Laid back Active scene
Private boat Social boat
Do both….
