|
| KokosNuss is the only resort facility in Coron Town. If you are looking for an "action holiday" this is it. If you are looking for such things as the best wreck diving in the Philippines, sea safaris, snorkeling and island hopping, Coron is the place for you, but donīt expect mass-tourism or five stars hotels. We are proud to live at the beautiful "end of the world". |

LOCATION: The little resort called KokosNuss is on the main road between the YKR airport on Busuanga and the bright lights of "downtown" Coron, Palawan Philippines. It is only a few steps to the local hospital, and after 800 metres (a gentle ten-minute stroll) you are at the market which is also the town centre. The 800 meter separation between "downtown" Coron and KokosNuss means a QUIET, PEACEFUL and RESTFUL environment for your stay in Coron.

ACCOMMODATION: KokosNuss Resort has a delightful restaurant and 24 "Nipa hut" Cottages and Bungalows constructed out of local materials in the traditional Philippine native style that is still found in many parts of Palawan. Each cottage is spacious, airy and bright. All of our rooms are amply furnished with soft, comfortable beds, clean linens and pillows, and clean bathrooms. A "nipa hut" is, as the name suggests, a very unsophisticated hut, made of bamboo. It sounds primitive, which you cannot deny, and also sounds very uncomfortable... WRONG! It is a well designed piece of local architecture which will keep you cool and dry. It also adds to the benefit of being totally natural, a little bit rustic, and to the pleasure and the adventure for visiting a remote island. If, on the other hand you consider yourself a member of the Idle Rich (or if you have any ambitions in that direction) you can have a deluxe bungalow accommodation, complete with an en-suite CR and shower, marble flooring and air-conditioning.
TOURS & ACTIVITIES:
Scuba Diving
Coron is one of the Philippines greatest SCUBA diving locations and truly a pearl of philippine wreckdiving! On 24. September 1944 some 120 US Navy bombers caught a Japanese convoy at anchor in Coron Bay, northern Palawan. Some 11 (or more yet undiscovered) World War Two Japanese wrecks, hot volcanic lakes, caves, coral reefs and walls await you.
Coron Island Hopping Tours
You have an unforgettable and fulfilled day on our one day island hopping tour to Coron Island. Our tour-boat "Kim Patricia Marta", built in traditional philippine style is specially designed for these "custom-tailored" trips.
Snorkeling, swimming, beaches, the enchanting "Cayangan Lake" and "Barracuda Lake", beautiful hidden lagoons and bays - sometimes populated by the native "Tagbanua"-tribe of northern Palawan.
Nature Walks
Mountain treks, river walks and jungle hikes are a great way for you to see the parts of this incredible island that are totally "wild". We can explain to you the routes that are possible to make alone, or we can provide you with an experienced guide if needed.
Calauit Island Wildlife Safari
The 3700 hectare large Calauit Island is the sanctuary of African and Palawan wildlife threatened with extinction. Calauit was decreed a game preserve and wildlife sanctuary in August 1976 by then President Ferdinand E. Marcos. |

Island Hopping in Gutob Bay
The Calamian Group of Islands, also called the Calamianes, consist of over 80 islands and islets. Some of them are still deserted and unpopulated.
Makinit Hot Springs
Just 5 km from Coron town, at the end of the little village called "Makinit", two small and one large naturally occurring salt water springs on the shorefront, somehow bubbling from the mountainside despite their proximity to the sea.
During the latter part of World War II, battalions of battle weary Japanese troops retreating from the Malaysian front made camp in this sitio to mend their wounds and rest for a few days. The healthy volcanic water here is in the range of 35 degrees Celsius.
Horseback Riding in Coron
The "horsevalley" is just 2,5 km from Coron. No matter if you are a beginner or an expert, just choose one of 14 different horses that suits you best.
If you have already some experience on the horse, try going up the Mt. Tapyas and enjoy the beautiful view over Coron and the islands of Coron Bay.
Rent a Motorbike in Coron
Explore Busuanga Island. The best way for you to explore Busuanga Island is to rent a Motorbike in Coron: There are two possible routes you can take, and of course we can show you many more tracks. |
