TOUR
The Honda Bay Island Hopping Tour is a popular day trip from Puerto Princesa that takes you to a series of white-sand islands and coral reefs on the city's eastern shore. It is known for being a more laid-back, "sun and sand" alternative to the Underground River. Tour Overview The tour typically departs from Sta. Lourdes Wharf, which is a 30-minute drive from the city center. You will board a motorized outrigger boat to visit three distinct islands or reefs, each offering different activities like snorkeling, swimming, or sandbar walking. Featured Islands & Stops While there are many islands in the bay, most tours rotate between these three main spots: Luli Island: Its name is derived from "Lulubog, Lilitaw" (to sink and to rise) because the sandbar disappears during high tide. It features a diving board and is a great spot for swimming. Cowrie Island: Usually the largest island on the itinerary, it serves as the base for the buffet lunch. It has a lively beach vibe with nipa huts, a massage center, and a cocktail bar. Pambato Reef: Often substituted for one of the islands, this is a floating platform over a massive coral reef, ideal for seeing schools of tropical fish and giant clams.
