The island is a premier diving and snorkeling destination, featuring numerous underwater attractions including several well-preserved World War II Japanese shipwrecks that have become iconic dive sites. Beyond water-based activities, Coron boasts remarkable inland features such as Kayangan Lake, Barracuda Lake, and natural hot springs surrounded by verdant vegetation.
