Malcapuya Island

Malcapuya island is a long size beach with white fine sand. The beach has beautiful blue water and clean. Its looks amazing in a distance. The beach is look like Boracay Island but this one is smaller than Boracay.
For more info about Malcapuya beach here is my previews post.

You can also watch the full documentary video of Malcapuya Island.

To continue the island hopping I'm going to share the Banana Island and Bulog Dos Island.

Banana Island

After Malcapuya Island our next destination was Banana Island.
From Malcapuya to Banana Island took like 30 minutes more or less. We wanted to stay longer but we need to go to our next destination for our lunch.

Shallow water will amaze you how beautiful are the paradise in Coron. They park the boat in this rocky beach away from the white sand.

I asked our tour guide why it was named Banana and the answer he said 'because the island shape is like a banana', I was curious how it looks like on the maps. While they are preparing for the lunch I went to the left side of the island. I saw a shallow water that looks like you can swim on it to go across to the other island. If they have a kayak I would definitely want to go across but I don't know if that beach is private or public.

While waiting for the lunch you can hangout to the cottages. The lunch was prepared, they have grilled fish, chicken, crabs, seaweeds, fruits, bottled water and soda. To all travel and tour agency I've tried, I like the lunch in Nice & Paradise with yummy seafood and fruits. The food they serve are too much so I ate a lot, I can't stop myself eating when I saw seafood :).

After lunch we walked to the white sand beach for sightseeing and snorkeling. Bring mask if you want to do snorkeling. Walking there they have some store that you can buy cold water and beers or a fresh coconut juice.

We saw some people laying on the hammock that makes me envy, it was so nice and very relaxing with beautiful view. We haven't seen any available so we decided to go for snorkeling.

The beach was nice so I'm going to walk around before I go swim. The weather is very hot and the white sand gets hot, if your not wearing a slippers (flipflops) or aqua shoes you will feel it. You will amaze to the beautiful trees for shades and the scenery. The beaches here in Palawan are awesome. Palawan is really a paradise. How I wish I have a yacht to explore the other islands that I haven't visited yet.

There's a good snorkeling spot in Banana island as well along the reef, where you will find lots of clams, colorful fishes and large corals. Wear aqua shoes if you go swimming there's a lot of sea urchins. I saw colorful clams on the rocks, I thought it bites my feet hahaha :) I'm not really sure if that was really a clams but it looks like. While enjoying snorkeling I wasn't notice that I went to the deep side away from shallow water, it looks dark and scary like a horror. I swallow water from trying to swim back to be away from the dark water and my stomach was very full from the lunch that makes everything more difficult. I know how to swim, I just have some fear.

Doing island hopping and snorkeling makes me think that there are many things that I haven't see under the sea.
We spend 2 hours on this island.

Here's the video of full documentary of Banana Island.

Bulog Dos Island

Bulog dos is our last stopped for this tour. From Banana Island to Bulog Dos is just 15 mins more or less it was located next to Two Season Beach Resort.

Bulog Dos island is nice and clean. The sand bar looks great when its low tide but sometimes it covers the sand. Next to Bulog Dos is the Two Season Beach Resort. Tourist are not allowed to enter behind the rocks that connected to the private beach. The beach is small but beautiful. There's not a lot of things to do in this beach but you can walked around the Bulog Dos island and snorkeling.

You can walk up a slightly higher piece of land to get a view of the surroundings, clear blue water and nice beach on both sides. There are two Bulog Island, Bulog Uno and Bulog Dos as its a good vantage point for a good photo or selfie. Taking pictures with the beautiful background is amazing. Love the outlook point on Bulog Dos. On the other side of the beach has more rocks.

Don't miss the chance to explore the island its beautiful that people wants to own. Everyone wants to own a piece of paradise, to wake up and sleep in the island and to swim whenever you wanted is my dream that I believe never happens.
Beach is one of my happiness I really like to spend my day on the beach. I have a tan skin but I get more darker which I don't mind.

Shallow water is very wide, I want to do paddle boarding or kayaking. I wish this island is closer to Coron town. I'm not sure if the ocean has sea urchins because no one explore on the other side of the island. It looks low tide because the ocean really shows. We think of going down to this hill but its not safe because of the rock formation.

After the walked we went to snorkeling but the one I went to doesn't have a good spot for corals. We saw a lot of broken corals, the tour guide said its from a typhoon couple years ago. I feel sad how many corals was got broken, I saw them in the shallow water. To see good spot for corals is located on a bit high tide, spending almost 30 mins on snorkeling is not enough.

Our tour guide accommodate us very well. I hope in the near future some of the beach destinations has a kayaking and paddle board for the tourist to explore the islands.

My advice is don't miss the chance to try the Coron best beaches in Nice and Paradise travel and tours. I'm not sure if other tour agency do this tour also with the same destinations or maybe they have different best destinations. I think some tour agency has different package tours. Just remember the Malcapuya, Banana and Bulog Dos Island. This package tour is worth it for 1500 pesos fee. It's amazing and enjoyable.

Here is the full documentary of the Bulog Dos Island.

I hope you guys enjoy watching the beach and it helps for your next travel plans.

beautiful

thank you..

welcome

Excellent pictures as always. The water is so clear you can see very far. So much clearer than the water and beaches around here. When I see the Banana Island from the map I'm confused like you as well. It doesnt look like a banana on the map? Maybe it used to look like and the typhoons and erosion changed the geography?

thank you.. most beaches on island hopping are beautiful and have a clear water.. hahaha yes same feeling about the banana island hehehe :)

Another wonderful post on the Malcapuya, Banana and Bulog Dos Islands Crishel. Very nice pictures and information. Never give up on your dream to live on the beach some day. You have already accomplished so much in your life and you can fulfill your dreams in the future. Keep up the great work. :)
