Barracuda Lake, Coron

The entrance fee is roughly 250 pesos, but this is often included in a full day tour itinerary.

Check with your tour provider in advance to avoid any hidden costs.

Wear a life jacket as it's mandatory for swimming in the lake.

The water in Barracuda Lake is brackish, making it harder to float, so wearing a life jacket is highly recommended.

Bring a life jacket as swimming is allowed only in designated areas.

Be cautious when walking on the wooden stairs as they can be slippery.

Consider a private tour to handpick the best spots if you want to see everything in one go.

If you prefer a quieter experience, ask your tour guide if you can swim away from the crowds.

Rent a kayak for the day to explore the lake more freely.

Make sure to wear life vests and snorkel gear while swimming.

If you enjoy free diving, you can take off your life jacket to dive down, but remember it’s easier to dive down than to swim back up.

Plan for a short visit, as you are usually allowed only 30 minutes due to group rotations.

Visiting early in the morning helps you avoid the crowds, making for a more enjoyable experience.
