Honda Bay Island Hopping 2010

Our flight was delayed for almost an hour so we only have limited time for Honda Bay Island Hopping. It is a good thing that I already ordered food in advance because we are all really hungry before we reach Snake Island.
We only drop by at Ysabelle Mansion to leave our baggage. On our way to sea port, we went to 7 plates building to book our Underground River tour, buy mineral water and pick up our food (BBQ liempo, Grilled Pusit, Spicy Garlic Shrimp, Ensaladang Talong, Lato Rice, Grilled Baby back ribs, Buttered lobster, Kangkong w/oyster sauce and Atchara)

Boat rental is P1500 good for 6 person, additional pax is P250 including kids. There are different island in Honda Bay that you could visit such as Cowrie Island, Bat Island, Lu-Li Island (lulubog-lilitaw), Dos Palmas Island, Pambato Reef, Pandan Island, Starfish Island and Snake Island. Each island has its own entrance fee except for Snake Island but you have to pay for cottage.
Pandan island entrance fee        P 50/head
Starfish island entrance fee        P 50/head
Pambato reef entrance fee         P 50/head
Pandan island cottage                P 400/cottage



We only choose Snake Island, Star fish Island and Pandan Island. First stop is Snake Island, where we eat our lunch. The place is quite crowded maybe because there is no entrance fee. You will enjoy swimming and snorkeling even you are not a good swimmer because you can see school of fish at knee deep of water.






Next stop is Starfish Island but we just drop by and move to Pandan Island. Pandan Island has the best facilities and amenities among the three islands. They have their own comfort room, restaurant and massage place. So we already stayed in this Island till 5PM.

  8. Granting there are no snakes and the facts that I can't swim and I love watching or playing with fish close by, I guess Snake Island is for me :) When I get back home, I'll be dropping by your blog to get details of these islands. I like island-hopping.

  9. The only time I went to Honda Bay was in 1997. Just spending my 3-day suspension slapped on me when I was in 3rd grade.

  10. Wow. What a beautiful place. Never been to Palawan. Tsk. I hope you put watermarks on your photos to protect the copyright. Download mo po ang Kigo Image Converter. That is the one i am using. Mdali lang gamitin. :)

  21. Hmm ... for some reason I wasn't that attracted to this place ... maybe because of the color of the sand?
