Coron 2015 Series: Coron Nxtcapade Tour

Day three of our stay in Coron was dedicated for another island hopping/snorkeling day. This time, we opted to take the Coron Nxtcapade Tour. Basically there are only three destinations, the islands to be visited here are some Coron's most popular. Again, our tour was handled by Nice in Paradise Travel and Tours.

If you've already read my Coron Islands Tour post, you'd know that I was a bit disappointed with how the locals handled our time, I was also a bit annoyed during the morning of our Nxtcapade Tour since our sundo was late again. As per our hotel's confirmation, we were to be picked up at 8:30am, again, we were ready by 8:15, our sundo arrived a little before 9:00am. Upon arriving at the dock, we waited again for almost half an hour since the boatmen kept telling us that the food wasn't complete yet. If one of the tourists didn't even call the boatmen's attention that our tour group has been complete for the last half hour and that we've been waiting for so long, they wouldn't even rush to start the tour, I was like... "Do we really have to call you pa to start the tour?!". Luckily, among the tourists inside the boat was the manager of another popular hotel in Coron, she patiently explained that everyone in Coron is on island time, meaning everything is much slower as compared to the city. Okay I get that. 

Fastforward to when we actually arrived at our first destination... The islands to be visited are quite far from the town proper itself, I felt as if it took us more than an hour to reach the first destination, also the islands in the itinerary itself are quite far from each other. The destinations were:

Malcapuya Island:

A wide stretch of beach and crystal clear waters will greet you upon arrival at Banana Island, here you can enjoy swimming, basking under the sun and some snorkeling, though there aren't a lot of fishes underwater since the beach itself is very busy, with boats that come and go every so often. There's also a view deck that you can climb that offers a different perspective of the island.

Isla Bulog Dos:

The beach front isn't as wide as Malcapuya's but this island has bamboo huts where the tourists can eat lunch. If you feel quite tired already from swimming, a nice nap in the huts will refresh you with the see breeze lulling you to sleep. There's also a small hut in a nearby sandbar that you can swim to.

Banana Island:

This island is right beside Two Seasons Coron, with only a sandbar separating them. The water surrounding this island is very shallow, perfect for those who's afraid of the open sea. The sand here is extremely fine but the parts near the beach are quite littered with rocks and broken shells which tend to be, not only painful when stepped on, but slippery. You can also climb up a view deck and take pictures above.

The lunch again was a feast, there's adobong pusit, fried fish, fresh lato, rice and chicken, pineapple for dessert and water and softdrinks. We were also served Puto and water as snacks.
