Beautiful place. Most people go there after the sunset to see the fireflies and luminiscent plancton, but you can also get there before sunset to walk through the platforms along the mangroves. If you're lucky you can spot some kingfishers and jellyfish. There are no hiking paths, just the platforms but it's 100% worth it. You can take a tour from Coron for like 1200php but also rent a bike and DIY and it'll be 500php per person which includes a kayak and guide plus the bike rental. The place is protected for conservation and I heard that they will soon start offering birdwatching boat rides along the river. The guides were amazing and knew a lot. Just beware of the bumpy and muddy road after the exit from the concrete road, but it's like 300m and very doable.
