Top Things To Discover in and About Quezon
Masirik Island
Was first called Nasirik, means shark’s fin, that became Masirik and until the people decided to name it Mansirik.
Many people of the barangay says that Mansirik is a haunted island. They believed that there was fairy or spirits guarding this beautiful masterpiece. That is why being noisy is forbidden on the island. You can visit but you can’t stay there for a night, they say. Because some fishermen, who tried to stay there, said they witnessed what happened to the island when the midnight falls in. The island was said to disappear on midnight! And only the top of the huge rock formations was the visible.”
The explanation why the island disappears at midnight is because of the tide. Since the island is so small and not really high, the water can easily evade it and make it disappear at night.
Double Island
Double Island is a hidden gem found tucked away in the Municipality of Quezon, part of the Philippines’ Palawan Province – a popular region characterized by limestone cliffs, lush jungle habitats and a myriad of enchanting island escapes. The famous Tabon Caves – a protected reservation known as the Philippines’ “cradle of civilization” – are also close by.
The region’s natural beauty is in abundance on Double Island, whose landscape is dominated by towering coconut trees, inviting stretches of sandy beach and crystalline waters. The sea surrounding the island guarantees safe swimming at both high and low tide, and is free of mud, rocks and pollutants.

Island-Hopping Expeditions
Your best option is to combine all the highlights of Coron and Culion with your own private expedition.
Kawil Tours offers Live Onboard tours, where everything is taken care of including transfers to and from Coron, your transportation the whole time, island overnight camping, guides and entrance fees plus all the meals during the trip.
One of the highlights of Kawil Tours is snorkeling in Crowning Glory Reef, a Marine Protected Area (MPA) that’s one of Isla Culion’s best destinations. The water is so clear that visitors don’t need to dive to appreciate the rainbow-colored corals and schools of fish. Sea turtles and dolphins also have been spotted in the area. This is the best place in the country that I’ve tried snorkeling by far. For those who have limited time and can’t go on multi-day island-hopping expeditions, I highly recommend you go snorkeling here as a half-day activity, as the site is near the Culion town proper.
