Honda Bay

Honda Bay

Honda Bay is home to various small islands at the mouth of Puerto Princesa. It has Luli Island (short for “lulubog-lilitaw” or float and appear because the island appears to have sunk during high tide), Starfish Island, Snake Island, and so much more. That is the reason why island hopping is the best activity for tourists whenever in Honda Bay.

Honda bay can be reached through private vehicle or by hiring a tricycle or jeepney towards the Sta. Lourdes wharf which is about 25 minutes or 12 kilometers from the center of the city. It is in the boundaries of Sta. Lourdes Tagbanua. From the wharf, visitors can hire a pump boat to take them to any point or island in Honda Bay. However, a number of the islands are privately owned, which means one has to inform or obtain the permission of the island owners. But other islands are open to public which generally have a minimal fee.

Somewhere along the large expanse of Honda Bay is a floating hut that guards a rich marine sanctuary filled with colourful corals and a variety of fish species. When you go snorkeling in the designated areas, you’ll find a magnificent world undersea. The main attraction is the Pambato Reef.

From island hopping, swimming and snorkeling, one can shower off at the wharf where a visitor center is established. Again, a minimal fee is charged for the use of the shower and comfort rooms. But if you can take it, you can dry off and then have your shower at the resort where you’re staying.
