Day 8-11 Coron

Go to Native like the seafaring Tagbanua, paddling your own kayak at your own pace but with the assurance of a high degree of professional organization and support that leaves little to guess work. Tap your Robinson Crusoe instincts and do what the Tagbanua of the Calamian Islands in the Western Philippines have been doing for centuries; paddle a tropical sea paradise described by the late Jacques Cousteau ” The last frontier”.

The Calamianes number some 220 islands and all of them are accessible by kayak if you have a year to spare. As you paddle from island to island in small groups, staying in the budget tented camps, you’ll be emulating the “thread lightly” approach of the Tagbanua and sending a strong message endorsing low-impact interaction with a “last frontier” environment. Yes, you will experience spectacular tropical wilderness scenery, perfect paddling conditions, exhilarating snorkeling, wild primary rain forest, and golden, empty spiritual hub of the local Tagbanua people, who gather swallows’ nests from the island’s limestone caves.
