A Day in Honda Bay!
It’s all about Honda Bay on day 3.
After preparing the necessary things, it’s off
to another adventure! We rode on the same rented jeepney together with our tour
guide.
Before we arrived at Honda Bay Port, we stopped
by a dive shop. We rented snorkels, and underwater shoes. After that we are on
our way!
We arrived at the port where you can ride motorized
boats (banka in Tagalog) to any destination around Honda Bay. There are different
islets and places that you can go to in Honda Bay. We only explored 3 places
during our visit.
Starfish Island
First destination was Starfish Island. This is
where we had our lunch. We went swimming after lunch. There are also areas
where you can take photos especially the Starfish Island sign and the huge
picture frame.
Pambato Reef Snorkeling
After Starfish Island, we went to a floating
platform with a big model of a turtle on top of it. Before we went on
snorkeling, we were briefed by a local guide on what or what not to do during
our stay as we would be snorkeling on very deep water. Afterwards, we started snorkeling.
We were guided by local guides as most of us (including me) don’t know how to
swim. It is fun to see different schools of fish swimming around us and
different species of corals. However, this activity is so draining. At least
the effort was worth it.
Luli Island
Last stop was Luli Island. The name “Luli”
according to our guide is a play of 2 Tagalog words lulubog (sink) and lilitaw (arise). As the name suggests, a
section of the island will sink during high tide and will reappear during low
tide. This is where we got our last chance to swim around the place.
That wraps it up for day 3. Stay tuned for the
next part as we explored the world-famous underground river of Puerto Princesa.
See you guys later!
