The bit about swimming in the sea with the water glowing under the stars sounds absolutely magical. I’m hoping to visit the Philippines one day and have been looking into philippines snorkeling spots while putting together ideas for my trip. Coron looks like such a lovely place to explore!

Sorry, I’m afraid that I don’t know the contact info. I think it was called the Crystal Lodge (and it was an awesome place). Here is a website that looks like the same place: http://krystallodge.tripod.com/

They didn’t operate tours, but if you just take a stroll downtown you’ll find several tour operators ready to hop you around to all the islands you like.

Have a great time. I’m totally jealous!

I’ve only been to Moalboal, Cebu, but it was fantastic – $1 bottles of rum.
