Coron is inhabited, but only people from the Tagbanwa tribe live here. In other words, you cannot stay on the island, there are no hotels or other accommodation options. There is no airport or port on Corona. You ask, what then can you do here at all and how to get here? - a tourist can rent a boat on the neighboring island of Busuanga and see several lakes, land on some beaches along the west coast of Corona, that's it. The rest of the territory is closed not only to tourists, but also to ordinary Filipinos.

All tourists planning to visit this reserve are based in Busuanga, from where they make daily excursions to Coron Island.
