Honda Bay snorkeling and swimming hits different to other similar experiences in Puerto Princessa - Honda Bay is yet another unique snorkeling experience. The facilities provided throughout the tour are very nice. Equipment for rent, restrooms on every island. Good lunch. Overall a very fulfilling experience.

Honda bay fun in the sun - Our tour was Honda bay islands with snorkelling and lunch. We were a group of eight persons from the UK and USA travelling onboard NCL Jewel with a port stop at Puerto Princesa. Communication with Corazon was excellent throughout, especially when our port time in Puerto Princesa was considerably cut. This meant our original booked excursion had to be changed for the Honda bay tour. Our tour guide was excellent and professional at all times. Our first stop was for snorkelling and 2 of our party enjoying scuba. Our lunch stop island was an incredible surprise. The lunch was plentiful and absolutely delicious. Drinks were extremely reasonable. Would I recommend corazon? 110% yes! Thank you. J

Great experience - Our guide Roman made the day even better and more fun than we hoped it would be. The boat crew was so generous and friendly. The food was delicious and whole experience was very memorable. If I have family or friends that comes to Palawan I would only recommend to book trough Corazon Travel and Tours.

Fun day out - This was an enjoyable island hopping tour. The guide was good and the 3 islands were fun. I got some awesome photos at the first island if you give donation to a local there. Cowrie island was the best part and I just loved swimming there and relaxing. Lunch was nice too.

An island hopping beach day - This was a great way to experience different islands in Honda Bay and have it be pre-planned, including transport to the dock, the boat, and the food. Diane was a great guide, very funny and personable. We enjoyed the day, but we would have liked to do more exploring. This was one of the best meals I’ve had in the Philippines - great fresh seafood and veggies Overall, this was a fun tour. Bring good water shoes for the snorkeling and lots of sunscreen.

Enjoyable Island Hopping - It was all very enjoyable! The guides were good, food good, swimming ok. We were disappointed in the snorkling as there didn't seem to be many fish. Maybe we didn't go out far enough. We enjoyed the day.

Well Organized Island Hopping - I was informed PickUp time around 0730 but our tour guide showed up at 0710. There were 4 of us for the day. After the car collected all 4, we finally headed to Honda Bay, it was around 0740. Before we hopped on the boat, we stopped by a rental shop, this is where you can rent snorkelling or fin. You can buy dry bag here if you wish. The biggest dry bag – 500 pesos Snorkeling rental – 150 pesos (Better design – 250 pesos) Island hopping started with Star Island. I was so excited to see many starfishes ! Seriously MANY. Some tour groups were doing BBQ, which looked very fresh. After spending 1 hour, we moved to Luli island. It was very high tide, which was very enjoyable. Low tide was supposed to come at 1300 on the day but it was still high for me, In the end, we headed to Cowrie island. It was finally lunch time. It was packed lunch rather than fresh BBQ onsite. It seems like the lunch was picked up in the early morning in downtown of Puerto Princesa. It included grilled fish, chicken adobo, pork, fruits, drink and more. I enjoyed it anyway. We spend about 2.5 hours here. There used to be SPA spot in this island but due to the huge typhoon in 2021, I didn’t see any SPA in the island. Unfortunately it was very cloudy day. Not super blue sky. We left the island around 1430. It took about 20 minutes to get back to the warf. After we returned our rental staff, I was back to hotel at 1600. Well organized tour, You can rent anything. There is no breakfast break, finish your breakfast before you are picked up. Also don’t forget to bring your ID.

Good but very touristy - The area is pretty and beaches nice. Snorkeling not the best and rather crowded at the one floating docks that's not an island. The swimming at the two islands is nice cowrie being the best. I found the day dream out longer than I wanted. Comfortable Beach chairs non existent benches in the shade and for three hours at cowrie with nothing comfortable when you have jet lag not so good. Also BRING water, towels and anything else you want other than lunch nothing is provided. Guide was very nice and did accommodate me when I asked for a taxi back to hotel - the drop offs added a hour to the trip each way in a tight van made for short legs. I paid 800 pesos for a private car back. So worth it !

Our first day in Puerto Princesa - This is our very first time exploring Puerto Princesa, and we like to start our day at Honda Bay and it started with an excellent introduction to eco-tourism and environmental protection by our very enthusiastic guide. The trip was very interesting and flawlessly organised however I got a little disappointed on one of their Tour Guide named Weng. It is because we haven't got an opportunity to take home our food, we haven't eaten all of it. I know all of you will say, "It's just a food" but aren't we all food lovers? She should ask us if we would like bring the untouched food on our way back to hotel. But all in all we had fun! and spending time out on the water travelling between islands was very peaceful. A full and worthwhile day.
