Twin Lagoon was the first of many gems we discovered hidden in Palawan’s dreamy Coron Bay. Limestone cliffs dotted the perfectly blue waters of the Calamian archipelago where we explored secret lagoons, deserted beaches and watery caverns. The beauty of the region was surreal, and with so many little nooks in the rocky outcrops, I could only imagine what other spectacular treasures sat waiting to be discovered.

As our boat cruise to the ingress of the lagoon, everybody hold their breath as magnificent limestone rock formations salute us on our way to the dock of twin lagoon, it was an extensive period of silence, we were amazed how nature created this one of a kind marvel. Upon influx to the first, crystal clear water greeted and we just let our body to adrift to the quay. After awakening to this wonderful dream and realizing that wasn’t reverie, we walked towards the second lagoon through a man-made bridge, swam in a fresh water with mixture of salt water, alternating cold and warm water freely touched our skin.

As its name implies, the Twin Lagoons are actually two bodies of water separated by a wall of karst. Entering this body of water your boat will stop at the edge of the outer lagoon. The latter is surrounded by sheer cliffs of karst and it is easy to assume that the lagoon ends here. That’s until you discover a hole in one of those cliff walls that leads on to a second, inner lagoon. The hole is completely submerged underwater at high tide. A wooden ladder has been placed above this hole to allow visitors to climb up the rocks and view the second lagoon. However, during low tide the hole is visible and one can swim right through this narrow opening just big enough to allow two or three swimmers at time.
