Private boat>organised tour

Sep 2022 • Couples

Highly recommend NOT booking this via a hotel, but instead booking a private boat at the port - with just four people it works out cheaper and is more flexible. Many of the Trike riders can help out here.

The best island tour

Mar 2022

Had a great time with different island adventure activities. Love our stay, very enjoyable. Would love to go back and spend more time for this island tour together with my other friends. Very worth the package tour for they have a lot of activities to offer. Best way to start our summer getaway.

Amazing Islands

We had an Island hopping tour, so we really enjoyed the time. We saw Starfish Island, Lu Li and top of the top, Cowrie. It is just amazing.

Honda Bay tour is the tour I enjoyed the most when I went to PPS and El Nido

Dec 2019

I went on a join in tour in Honda Bay - Starfish Island - You’ll be given over an hour or two to enjoy snorkeling in the waters of Starfish islands. A huge population of starfishes is in the coastal waters of the island where you could touch, take a photo and play with them.

However, as a responsible traveler, don’t throw them like a beach ball like what other tourists did that made them viral on social media. Don’t lift them up for long out of the seawater as they would die if you do, crustaceans won’t be able to defend themselves if you torture them out of the seawater, it would only take 10 seconds for them to live. Like humans, if someone puts you in the water for long without an oxygen tank, you’ll get drown and die, that’s also the case for starfishes so don’t abuse them just for the sake of Instagrammable photos!

Luli Island - Finally! After being tortured with the smell of delicious grilled pork and fish in Starfish Island, it’s time to eat a heavy lunch in Luli Island, which is our second destination! Luli came from the Tagalog word, “Lulubog, lilitaw” which means “sinking down and rising up”. If it’s high tide, the water rises up and seawater swallows up almost the entire island including the beach huts. You’ll enjoy more of this island if it’s low tide ofcourse. Then lastly, Cowrie Island - Here, you can enjoy ordering and eating afternoon snacks at a restaurant on the island while having fun on the seashore. I recommend their fruit shakes to cool off under the heat of the sunlight.

Nature never gets old

Oct 2019

We had an island hopping tour last October 2019. It was an amazing experience. The place do not look abused despite the fact that there are a lot of tourist on the islands. It was a good trip. Want to go back again if given another chance.

Snorkelling .... water a bit cloudy

Feb 2020 • Couples

Nice day out but first 2x islands very touristy and limited snorkelling. Final stop at the reef was better with lots of fish, but sea very choppy as was windy (might be better on a clear day) and water visibility not great. The actual pickup and drop off took much longer than expected due to having multiple passengers, but met some nice people. If you like snorkelling, apparently El Nido much better, this felt like a bit of a “tourist trap”.

Poor tour guide

Jan 2020 • Couples

We weren’t able to visit Starfish island because of the tide so were taken snorkelling in a reef instead - having never really snorkelled before it was a bit unnerving being left to get on with it myself (it was a deep part of the sea cordoned off with buoys and a floating jetty with several outriggers beside it) with no instructions from anyone there or really much of an explanation of where we were or how long we would be there for. Luli Island was our next stop, we had lunch there (a large buffet, it was okay) and either misunderstood our guide or were given the wrong information, but ended up being 20 minutes late back to the boat and were given an abrupt telling off and told that the other group members were angry at us; so for the third part of our trip (Cowrie Island) we made sure to stay close to the rest of the group so that didn’t happen again - and this time the guide was the one who turned up later than the time he told us to. Very strange tour experience but Cowrie Island was beautiful and swimming in the warm water there was great. They take you to a shop where you can rent snorkel equipment, buy dry bags for your valuables, sun cream, snacks etc before you get on the boat and do pick up/drop off at hotel. We didn’t learn anything from our tour guide about any of the places we visited which is a shame.

Does anyone knows what is the latest time to depart to hopping? I should be arriving there around 4pm and want to go snorkel if possible. Or at least, make a reservation for the next day. What time does the ticket booth closed? Plz help me out! Thanks!

The price is 1300 PHP for the whole boat ? Is it possible to start the private tour at 9-10 AM ? Thanks

The price is 1300 PHP for the whole boat ? Yes, 1300 PHP for the whole boat, max of 20 passengers. Note however, that you will have to pay for the transportation going to the port and back to the city (we paid 500 roundtrip for a tricycle). You also have to pay for the entrance fees for the 3 islands, environmental fee and pay for your own lunch. Is it possible to start the private tour at 9-10 AM ? Yes, it is possible. You just have to go there early to avoid the long queue. I would like to reiterate, that you should ASK and KEEP the Environmental fee receipt (150 PHP) because you can use it for the Underground River tour and vice versa. Overall, I can say that this is way cheaper and less hassle than joining in tours. You'll have a private boat (no waiting for other passengers) and can bring your own food. Enjoy!

Hi guys, anyone did a DIY honda bay tour recently and have contacts of their boatmen? Is it easy enough to DIY? We'll be staying at Wyndham.thanks

DIY is a hassle in a place like Puerto. Tours give you many additional services so in my opinion Tour package is more better option. By DIY you'll not be able so save much, max 300 PHP maybe. If you want to try DIY, reach to the port by tricycle and you'll see agents approaching you for rides.

Hello am sorry as I have no idea about Centro Hotel as we stayed in a different hotel. I guess it is better if you call the hotel directly and ask. Enjoy your visit in Puerto Princesa. :-)
