Coron: Private Boat Hire with Guided Tour and Lunch on Beach

/ August 6, 2026

1.Private Boat Hire with Guided Tour and Lunch on Beach

★★★★★★★★★★4.9 · 658 reviews · 8 hours · from $142Our pick

Private Coron Island boat day with an English guide, snorkeling stops, and a beach or onboard lunch, plus a route timed to skip crowds.

“We did this tour and our experience was great. Our guide, Hazel, was not only friendly but also an expert at avoiding the crowds. She was very flexible and adjusted the stops to our preferences, and we never felt rushed or pressured regarding the time spent at each spot. In all the places we visited, we saw very few people, making the experience much more enjoyable. The food served onboard was fresh and delicious, so I highly recommend it. Just as a note: they are very transparent about prices, but we spent around 30 euros more per person on kayak and conservation fees.”

Coron: Private Boat Hire with Bespoke Guided Tour

/ August 8, 2026

2.Private Boat Hire with Bespoke Guided Tour

★★★★★★★★★★4.9 · 427 reviews · from $118

Private Coron boat hire for up to 4, with market shopping, a guided island-hopping route, snorkeling, and a cooked-on-board picnic for 8 hours.

“Definitely 10 out of 5 stars! I don’t think I’ve ever experienced such incredible hospitality. The highlight of the trip was the personalized lunch—the team cooks a meal based on whatever you buy from the market that morning, just before the trip begins. You can also spend as much time as you like at each stop, which made the experience feel truly relaxed and personal. The guide and his wife were absolutely amazing. We left a tip of 1000 pesos for them, but they certainly deserved even more. I would highly recommend this experience to everyone!”

★★★★★★★★★★4.4 · 54 reviews · 8 hours · from $53

8-hour Coron island hopping tour with a licensed guide, reef snorkeling, beach swims, and a kubo buffet lunch for about $53.

“Over priced rip off. Get my guide says starts at 8am but it was closer to 10am before we even set sail. Disgusting false advertising. Way more money than tours available in town. Price for the same tour everywhere is about 1000 peso cheaper. I asked many people who paid way less on my actual boat. This is a con. Get your ticket in Coron. Over crowded tour also. Starting at 8am would have beaten the crowds but everywhere was packed before we even set sail. It’s worth getting together some people and paying between you for a private tour. This is an over priced joke. I’ve traveled all over…”
