Private Honda Bay Island Hopping Tour – Puerto Princesa

The boat is booked for your group alone, so the island order, the swimming stops and how long you linger are yours rather than the consensus of a full boat. Departure slots run from 8:00 AM to 10:00 AM instead of one fixed time.

The base fare covers the private boat day for two guests, and each additional guest is added at a per-person rate. Because the boat charter sits inside the base, the per-head cost drops noticeably once you are four or more.

Lunch, hotel pickup within the pickup area and hotel drop-off are included. Snorkelling gear and aqua-shoe rental, tips, and the PHP 150 per-person Puerto Princesa Ecotourism Development Fee are not — bring cash for the fee.

The bay’s sandbars, snorkelling shallows and picnic islands minutes from downtown, with the Cowrie Island beach-club stop as the usual anchor. The listing notes island destinations may change without notice, so the final line-up is set on the day.

Departure slots run from 8:00 AM to 10:00 AM and you choose yours at booking; hotel pickup is timed to the slot you pick. The listing runs it as an 8-hour day, so an early slot has you back at your hotel in the late afternoon.

Yes — Honda Bay is the gentler of the city’s two big day trips, with short boat hops, shallow water and sand, and a private boat lets you cut the day short or stretch a stop without negotiating with strangers.

Sunscreen and towels per the listing, plus your own snorkel gear if you would rather not rent, cash for the ecotourism fee, and a dry bag. Shade on a bangka is limited, so a hat earns its space.

Full payment is taken at booking. Cancellations up to 7 days before the tour date are refunded in full; inside 7 days a 50% cancellation fee applies, and no-shows or cancellations within 24 hours are not refunded. Changes are subject to availability and price adjustments — message us early if plans shift and we will help rebook.
