Coron to Busuanga by Van

Shared Minivan

Shared vans are the standard choice for solo travelers and couples.

Booking platforms list private vans from about $14 for short transfers around Coron and about $46 for a 10-seat van to Busuanga, also about 1 hour 15 minutes (October 2026).[1] The advantage is leaving exactly when you want, without waiting for other passengers to be collected.

Tips for Traveling from Coron to Busuanga

  • Book in advance: In the dry season, vans timed for popular flights can fill up. Reserve a day or two before you plan to leave.
  • Pick-up times: For a shared van, the operator usually gives a pick-up window. Be ready in your hotel lobby at the start of it, because the driver has several stops to make.
  • Luggage space: Shared vans have limited room for bags. With large suitcases or bulky diving equipment, tell the operator beforehand or book a private van.
  • Motion sickness: If you are prone to it, ask for a seat near the front of the van.
