What to do in Culion, Palawan?

Culion, Palawan was famous because of its history specially on the case of leprosy.  It was selected as a containment site of leprosy victims during the American Period.   We are lucky to visit this town after convincing our colleague to adopt us for a while in their town in Culion.  Thanks to the Lopez's and we were able to explore this historical town.  We arrived late at night after a 1 and half hour boat ride from Coron, Palawan.  During our travel, we were not able to appreciate the beauty of Coron waters because it was so dark and when we arrived at Culion, we learned that there were no electricity at night.  We were so dead tired during our trip so we hurriedly slept without any plans for the next day.

We were greeted by the morning sun when we woke up and we start to appreciate the beauty of the island.  It was surprising to see that there are a lot of people living in the sleepy town.  This town offers its own tourist spots like the following

1.  Culion Church

2.  Culion Museum.. (Fees are Php 250 for foreigners, 100 for non locals, 50 for locals and 20 for students with ID)

3.  Fort Culion

4.  Agila Mountain. This gives you an excellent view of the island and the nearby islets

5.  Culion Port at night (We went here, ate grilled tuna, noodles and played pinoy henyo, awesome)

6.  The town itself.  People here are warm and courteous

How to get there:

Via Plane:  Book via Cebu Pacific, Zest Air, or Airphil going to Busuanga. Its better to get a morning flight so that you can get a ferry to Culion to see the beauty of the ocean. From the airport take a van going to Port of Coron then transfer to a ferry going to Culion.

Via Ship.  Since we are budget travelers and we are not able to get a seat sale for plane we opted to travel via ship.  We've got superferry on a sale price too. However, we traveled November and the water was rough that I was sleeping the whole time. From Coron get another ferry ride to Culion, we got our own boat for 2,500 which is a lot cheaper because my colleague was able to contact somebody from Culion.
