Palawan Philippines

Anyone been to Coron or El Nido in Palawan, Philippines recently? Any tips pls? We will be spending 3 nighrs each in Coron and El Nido in Jan 2026. I have my hotels booked but not sure if location was ideal. Based on your experience, is location THAT important when being there or the excursions/island tours provide that Palawan experience? Also, do yiu remember the going rate of these island tours?

Thank you in advance.

We were there in March; both locations are great. We were on an Eldertreks trip for a month in many Philippine locations so don't know the actual cost of local tours. That said, they are plentiful - easy to get trips from multiple sellers from what we could see just walking on the beach. The waters and snorkelling are out of this world - crystal clear, clean, lots of brilliantly coloured coral, fish, sea stars, etc.
