Coron, PhilippinesThe principal international Airport in the Philippines is in Manila. There are regular flights from many of the world's international airports. If you are arriving at another one, such as Cebu or Davao, please email us for advice.
There are daily flights from Manila to Coron (Busuanga Airport). There is also the Superferry which departs Manila Port once a week early Friday evenings. Where are we? Click here for a map!
Whilst international flights arrive at Manila International Airport, domestic flights to Coron use Manila Domestic Airport.
Depending upon your flight arrival time, you may need to stay overnight in Manila. However, if your flight arrives before 16.30 on a Friday, look at the Superferry section!
Transfer from Busuanga Airport (YKR) direct to Coron takes about 45 mins by Jeepne (coach) which awaits arrivals. P200. The scenery is beautiful and you pass through Yula King Ranch - the largest cattle ranch in the Philippines. However the ride is somewhat bumpy, mainly on an unmade road! Tell the driver where you wish to alight and he will stop nearby, including right outside Crystal Lodge where our Dive Center is. Or we will meet you in Coron and get you to your hotel or resort. We can arrange special car transfers on request.
