Sangat Island
Sangat Island is a small island southwest of Coron town with a single eco-resort and some of the most convenient wreck diving access in the area. Two WWII wrecks (the Sangat Maru and a smaller gunboat) sit in the bay right off the island, accessible as shore dives or short boat rides.
The island itself is covered in dense tropical forest with a small beach and pristine reef for snorkeling. The house reef is excellent for night diving. The resort is the only accommodation, giving it an exclusive, peaceful atmosphere.
For divers, staying on Sangat means unlimited access to two wrecks without the daily boat commute from Coron town. For non-divers, the snorkeling and island tranquility are enough reason to visit.
-
Sangat Island is about 40 minutes by boat from Coron town, and the resort arranges the whole transfer.
-
If you fly into Busuanga airport, a resort driver meets you and drives 30 minutes to either the Bintuan pier or the Coron town pier.
-
From there a resort boat takes you across to the island in about 40 minutes.
-
Send your confirmed flight details in advance so the transfer can be scheduled. Eleven WWII wrecks lie within minutes of the beach.
