When Is the Best Time to Visit Waterfalls in Coron?

The most important thing to remember is the season. If you visit Coron during the dry season (from December to May), the waterfalls might have very little water, or they can even dry up completely.

  • The Dry Season: You will see beautiful jungle scenery, but the pools under the waterfalls will be shallow.
  • The Rainy Season (from June to November): This is the best time for waterfalls. The water flows heavily, and the natural pools are deep and perfect for swimming.

Where Is the Largest Waterfall on Busuanga Island?

Did you know that the biggest and most beautiful waterfall in the area is a secret? It is not on any Google Map or tourist map!

Because it is hidden deep inside a protected forest, you cannot visit it by yourself. The only way to see this spectacular hidden gem is by booking a special jungle trek.

You can book this exclusive trek through this guided kayak and waterfall adventure. A local guide will lead you safely through the forest trails, show you the secret waterfall, and help you find the best spots to swim in the fresh jungle water.


Which Other Waterfalls Can You Visit Near Coron?

If you want to explore the island on your own by renting a motorbike or hiring a tricycle driver, here are two popular waterfalls you can find on the main roads:

  • Concepcion Falls: Located on the western side of Busuanga Island. It is very easy to reach because it is just a short walk from the main highway. It has a nice, cool pool where you can relax under the shade of large trees.
  • Kepayan Falls: Another beautiful spot surrounded by peaceful nature. It requires a short hike through the forest to reach the water.

💡 Quick Travel Tip

The rocks around the jungle pools can be very slippery. Always wear good walking shoes or water shoes, and never jump into the water from high rocks unless your local guide says it is completely safe!
