Your Gateway to Paradise: How to Travel to Coron for an Extraordinary Yacht Charter Experience
February 3, 2025
Starting March 2025, direct flights from Manila to Coron will no longer be available, meaning travelers will need to fly via Clark, Cebu, or another regional hub. While this may require an extra step, it’s an opportunity to experience more of the Philippines before embarking on your dream yacht charter in Coron.
Europa Yacht Charter is here to ensure your journey is seamless. Whether you’re flying via Manila, Clark, or Cebu, this guide will help you navigate your way to Coron with ease and convenience.
Three Routes to Coron: Travel Made Simple
Route 1: Manila → Clark → Coron
If you’re arriving in Manila’s Ninoy Aquino International Airport (NAIA), you’ll need to transfer to Clark for your flight to Coron. Here’s how:
Step 1: Arrive in Manila
