Honda Bay Island Hopping in Puerto Princesa: A Simple Guide

Honda Bay is the classic island-hopping day trip from Puerto Princesa, Palawan, and one of the most searched tours in the city. Small white-sand islands, shallow reefs and calm water make it an easy, relaxed day for families and first-time visitors.

Pick-up from your hotel in the city is at 6:00 AM. The tour takes about 9 hours, so you are back in the afternoon. You can join a shared group or book the boat privately.
