Honda Bay Palawan Island



Honda Bay is a bay on the eastern shore of the island of Palawan near Puerto Princesa City in the southwestern Philippines. The bay is used for both subsistence and commercial fisheries and recreation. Boats can be rented for the day and used for travel to nearby islands, many less than 45 minutes from the shore by boat. Honda Bay is ideal for snorkeling. Starfish are commonly found near islands such as Starfish Island. Puerto Princesa is the nearest port city, and is accessible by plane.

Honda Bay in Puerto Princesa City, Palawan is a group of islands that is popular for swimming, snorkeling, and diving destinations. Island-hopping in the Bay has also become a common thing for tourists, blue cool waters are scattered with islands that guarantee one of a pure-pleasure experience. From snorkeling in its clear waters to the more adventurous island hopping within its districts to simply having a picnic in the fine sand of its beach areas, Honda Bay is sure to leave a lasting impression on the visitor.


Pandan Island is different from the buko pandan thing, I think Pandan is a tree. Pandan Island is another snorkeling and fish feeding spot!! If you want fish gets near you, feed them. Have some small bread and feed them slowly. I was afraid at first because they look like piranhas, but nooooo fish are really wonderful!


 


Snake Island is a white sand beach named as such due to its elongated and winding sand bar resembling a snake. It is easily accessible from Puerto Princesa, the capital city of Palawan. Cottages are free at Snake Island but you can give any amount as donation. We asked one local to grill us a big "pampano" for P80.00. We brought our own lunch. Swimming galore. You can buy some bread at the sari sari store there and do some fish feeding. But be careful, there is also an 8 inch triggerfish participating the the fish feeding! Surprisingly, you can see schools of reef fish and clams at such a shallow water.
