Coron, Palawan: Day 3

Picture perfect at Barracuda Lake

Day 3 (In no particular order)

• Twin Lagoon
• Smith's coral garden and beach (snorkeling)
• Barracuda Lake
• Maquinit Hot Spring

Twin Lagoon has got to be my favorite spot of the entire trip.  The view was unlike any other, and it has this enchanting yet peaceful vibe to it.

We were welcomed by a breathtaking view of limestone rock formations, as the boat veered deeper into the picture perfect scenery comes the first lagoon.

The second lagoon is hidden, there is a passageway under the rock formation from which we entered.
During high tides, the passageway would be submerged under water, you can swim underneath the rocks if you're a swimmer.  But for none swimmers, there is a ladder that you can use to climb over to the other side.

Our tour guide asked us (the none swimmers/not so confident swimmers) to lay back in floating position and form a link, he then pulled our human link into the second lagoon, that was so much fun! (I wish we had pictures, but there is a video clip!)

Smith's coral garden was a whole lot nicer than the other coral garden we snorkeled in.

More fish, less sea urchins.  The view underwater was spectacular, you can swim between the shallow and the deep waters.

Barracuda Lake was a bit eerie for me.

The imagery was stunning as you can see in our photo above, but the rock formations underneath was kind of creepy.

Maquinit Hot Spring was our last stop, if you are taking this trip with a senior citizen or anyone who enjoys water spas, I am 99% sure that they will love it there.  As a safety precaution, remember to rest every 15 minutes so it doesn't get too hot.
It was the perfect way to soothe our sore muscles and that capped off our island adventure on Day 3. 

It's funny that we only have photos during our lunch stops.  That's how beautiful the place was.  You'll forget everything and find yourself really savoring the moment, taking it all in.  The sights, the smell and the tranquility.
