Coron's natural beauty is its greatest asset. Whether you're hiking to the summit of Mt. Tapyas, exploring hidden beaches, snorkeling in crystal-clear waters, or visiting iconic destinations like Kayangan Lake and Twin Lagoon, practicing responsible tourism helps preserve these places for everyone.
One of the most important Leave No Trace principles is to take everything you bring with you when you leave. Food wrappers, plastic bottles, cigarette butts, and other waste can harm wildlife and diminish the beauty of natural areas. Carry a small reusable bag for your trash and dispose of it properly when you return to town.
Visitors should also stay on designated paths and walkways whenever possible. Straying from marked routes can damage vegetation, contribute to erosion, and disturb sensitive habitats. On islands and beaches, avoid removing shells, corals, or other natural features as souvenirs.
When enjoying marine activities, never touch or stand on coral reefs. Corals are living organisms that can be easily damaged by accidental contact. Observe marine life respectfully and avoid feeding fish or disturbing wildlife.
Reusable water bottles, eco-friendly products, and reef-safe sunscreen can further reduce your environmental footprint during your stay.
By following these simple practices, travelers help protect Coron’s extraordinary landscapes and marine ecosystems. Leaving only footprints and taking only memories ensures that the islands, beaches, trails, and reefs of Coron remain beautiful for generations to come.
