What to Expect from the Honda Bay Island Hopping Tour
Your Honda Bay tour begins with a hotel pickup around 7:30 AM – 8:00 AM, followed by a short drive to the Sta. Lourdes Wharf, the jump-off point for the day’s island-hopping experience. From there, a licensed boat will take you to explore three distinct islands known for their beauty and charm.
Expect plenty of time for snorkeling, swimming, and relaxing under the sun. Starfish Island is known for its shallow waters filled with—you guessed it—starfish. Cowrie Island offers a festive vibe with beach huts, refreshments, and space to unwind. Luli Island, which appears and disappears with the tide (“Lulubog – Lilitaw”), provides sandbars perfect for sunbathing and wading.
Guides will assist with snorkeling gear and ensure you get the best out of each island visit. A picnic-style buffet lunch is usually served on one of the islands, allowing you to dine with a view.
The tour ends with a return to the wharf and a comfortable drop-off back at your hotel around 2:00 PM – 3:00 PM.
