The main jump-off point to the beautiful Calamianes Islands is Busuanga Airport (USU), also known as Francisco B. Reyes Airport. The latter is a short ride from Coron Town; there’s no traffic so you won’t even notice time passing by.

For those who have a bit more time and would love to travel slower, you can take the boat to Coron. In recent years, more and more shipping lines ply the route from Manila, Puerto Princesa or El Nido to Coron.
