On our day 3, we will be wet and wild by honda bay island hopping! (oh yeah!). Our day would just focused on beach bumming, snorkeling and relaxing.

| here we go! |
Since honda bay is near, we were picked-up around 9am by our new tour guide. I'm really excited because this will be the first time BF and I will try to snorkel. Our tour guide provided us snorkeling gears (rent is 150). After 20 mins, we arrived at the port and upon arrival, we bought some breads because we will feed the fishes later on. After 15 mins and photo ops, off we go to the boat and our first destination was...Pambato Coral Reef!
Entrance fee here is Php50/pax. So sad because I was not able to take pictures of this place. Actually this is not an island. It's a part of the sea that has beautiful coral reefs. Different fishes, corals, big and small clams can be found on this place. It made me feel that an underwater camera is very important when travelling. So don't forget to bring not just a plain camera but a waterproof camera to be able to capture all the moments especially down under :)
After Pambato Reef, we headed to the next island, Snake Island. It was named Snake island because of its shape, not because it has a lot of snakes. No entrance fee needed for this island, but you have to pay for the cottage. We had our lunch on this island. Actually nothing fancy can be seen on this island. But it is also an good place to snorkel. I saw nemo here. hehehe

After Lunch, off we go to the last island of the day, Pandan Island. Entrance fee here is Php50/pax. I don't know how much is the cottage. According to what I have read, this island was bought by the owner of the Dos Palmas. So this island is the most well maintained and has cr. A lot of activities can be done here (for a fee ofcourse) like jetski, banana boating and kayaking. As usual, we just snorkel here and found nemo again. hehehe.

Around 3pm, we were advised to be back at the port because the sea might be very moody because it's starting to rain.I was not able to take pictures when we were going back to the port because I was really scared of the huge waves of the sea. Good thing is nobody panicked and our boatmen was really good.
More on Day 4 :)
I remember snorkeling around the Honda Bay islands a few years back. The quality of marine life was impressive. Agree that an underwater camera / case is very important. I also didn't have any during my visit and it was a waste not being able to capture the underwater scenes.
ReplyDeleteThat's correct. Everything was well-maintained. No stepping on the corals. I regret not having an underwater camera that time. Anyways, on our next trip to Palawan, which will be in Coron, we will make sure we have one :)
DeleteI heard okay din ang food sa Pandan Island? were you able to try it?
ReplyDeleteNo. Naka-package tour kasi kami kaya provided na ng mga tour guide yung food namin. Siguro if ever na bumalik kami dun, we will try it :)
