My partner and I went to Palawan last March 8-10, 2013 to see the majestic beauty of Underground River. We enjoy staying there but the highlight of our tour turns out not to be the Puerto Princesa Underground River.
One of the activities that was offer to us at Puerto Princesa is the Honda Bay island hopping and snorkeling. Our tour here falls on the 3rd day of our stay (and our last day in Palawan). We were fetch from the Kawayanan Resort around 6:30 in the morning. We were mixed with the other tourist that day. The travel time from Kawayanan Resort to Sabang is approximately 30 minutes.
Our guide, Miss Jenny, register us on the port then get a motor boat for the tour. First activity is snorkeling in Pambato Reef. It is better to have fins there so that you can explore the whole area as well as mask and snorkel. Next stop is the Starfish island where you can see no starfish. A literal L-o-L for this. The boatmen "photography"skill will be shown here. There are items in the island that can be used for picture taking such as Hawaii dress, coconuts, Red Horse bottle, Flowers, and a giant picture frame. Next destination and the final island is the Isla Pandan where we took our lunch.This island is the very busy island because all tourist gather here for their lunch. The sand is fine and no pebbles can be felt. It is also good for snorkeling because no big waves will stop you. Upon dipping to the water, fishes will also greet you upon swimming. Few feet from the shore, you will see a bed of small corals.
