How to Get from Busuanga to Coron
How to get from Busuanga Airport to Coron Town by shared minivan or private van, with travel time and prices.
Last updated: October 26, 2026

You step off the plane at Francisco B. Reyes Airport onto Busuanga Island, a landscape of rolling hills that is a world away from the limestone cliffs waiting around Coron Town. The ride between the two crosses the island on a paved road through green countryside and small villages, and it ends at the harbour where the island-hopping boats leave. You can share a minivan with other arrivals or hire a private van.
Cebgo and AirSWIFT flights to Busuanga leave from Clark International Airport since 29 March 2026 and no longer fly from Manila NAIA.[1]
Busuanga to Coron by Van
Shared Minivan
A seat in a shared minivan costs about $6 on booking platforms (October 2026), and the trip takes from about 1 hour 15 minutes, longer when the driver drops other passengers at their hotels in town.[2] It is the budget choice, and the van is usually full of divers and island-hoppers swapping tips about lagoons and wrecks.
Private Van Transfer
A private van costs about $46 on booking platforms (October 2026) and takes from about 1 hour 15 minutes.[2] It goes straight to your hotel without other stops, and the price per person drops quickly when four or more of you share it.

Tips for Traveling from Busuanga to Coron
- Agree the fare: When several flights land together, vans fill up fast. Settle the price and the drop-off point before you set off.
- Keep small bills: Small peso notes come in handy for tips and snacks.
- Luggage: A shared van gets tight when everyone has large bags. With dive gear or several suitcases, a private van is easier.
- Curves: The road winds over the hills. Sit near the front if you get car sick.
- Enjoy the view: Sit by a window. The hills open up to views of the sea as you near Coron.
