This was one of the two best snorkeling areas close to Coron that I visited. There is a large variety of beautiful coral and giant clams, with tropical fish aplenty. If you are a novice snorkeler, and don't dive, this might be as good as it gets for enjoying underwater scenery.

Very pretty, and good for timid swimmers as there are breaks between the coral groups w/water less than 6 feet deep. Nemo says hi!

If you get the chance to snorkel or dive here then take it. The corals are so healthy and varied along with the marine life. Wish I'd had an under water camera so I could remember it all. Just beautiful 🐠

The Coral garden we were taken to was a coral graveyard. So much has been damaged. There is no control on the amount of people visiting and what they’re doing. People just walking across and damaging them. It’s disgusting to see. The companies bringing these people just care about the money. Shame

We went snorkeling here as part of a tour. The sea was rough however the coral was in great shape and well worth the experience.

There are lots of fishes in Balinsasayaw Coral garden. My wife and I snorkeled here for around 15 minutes. There were a variety of fishes, corals, and clams. The water was crystal clear.

We have never seen so much diversity before!! We aren't experienced snorkelers but have been to Hawaii and Thailand and this just blew our minds. We must have seen thousands of not millions of different kinds of life and the biggest clams I've seen. The water was just pulsing while our guide pulled us through the garden and pointed things out. We probably could have just spent hours here in wonder

Also known as the Reef Garden, this is one place in Coron where you can see beautiful, healthy corals and rich sealife. You might even see some turtles if you're lucky.
A visit to this place is usually a part of the so-called "Coron Ultimate Tour", which includes visit to other islands.
The water current here is quite strong. So if you're not a strong swimmer, you better remain close to your boat or tour guide.

I'm new to snorkeling, so perhaps I'm easily impressed? But I loved the experience. Did not see a turtle unfortunately, this is more in the morning I heard

We'll on a Windstar cruise, arriving at 7:30am and departing at 3pm that same day! We'd like to snorkel at Coral Garden, but only see "full-day" tours. Do we need a "tour" ~ or is it possible to get to Coral Garden on our own?

Здравствуйте! Точно не у Сангата. Мы прошли значительно дальше. НАШ парк был недалеко от затопленного японского судна. В прямой видимости одинокого отеля на острове Huma Island Resort and Spa. В ветер и без солнца сориентироваться было сложно. Может и Лусонг.

Where exactly is coral garden, Google maps places it off the west coast of Africa. Is it by coron island? How long a boat journey from Coron?

It is indeed by Coron Island (North Philippines). The boat journey is no more than 30 minutes from Coron proper.

Visited the place two weeks ago...May 15, 2016..guides will tell you to be careful about and sea urchins etc, but according to them March isn't the season for Jellyfish.
I believe snorkelling is great all year round..its just that some months you will have more of the jellyfish. Maybe avoid the rainy season too (July and August)

How deep is the water for snorkling?

3-6ft. There are deeper areas if you are going to snorkel away from the shore.
