Transportation to Coron City Center from Airport
Coron Airport
Coron Airport, located in Coron, Philippines, is about an hour away from the city center. You are lucky if you land during the day, because the road to the city from the terminal has a very pleasant view. But you should know that, you have only two options for transportation from the airport to the city center, minivan and shuttle, since there are no taxi or public transportation facilities in Coron.
Minivan
If you have not booked any transfers before your travel, the only way to get to the city center from Coron Airport is to use minivans waiting at the exit of the terminal. These minivans, which would take you to the city center in an average of an hour for 150 Peso per person, operate with the logic of a collective taxi. This is why you might wait a while before the vehicle is full and ready to depart. If you do not want to wait at the airport you should make a reservation before your trip. If only you make a pre-reservation and pay an additional fee, the vehicle would depart without waiting as soon as you land even if you are alone.
Shuttle
If you are going to stay in one of Coron hotels, you can contact your hotel before your flight and request a transfer from the airport to the city center. The fee for hotel transfer would be around 150 pesos, similar to the minivan fee.
