Honda bay is found at the east of Puerto Princesa City’s
center. It was our company’s outing in 2012 and the first leg of our outing was
the Honda Bay Island Tour. Upon arrival,
we were greeted by our tour coordinator and the welcoming party of Sheridan
Beach Resort & Spa. We went to the
van and our luggage was transferred to the office in the city and we changed
for our tour.
We stopped at the Panz Mask and Snorkeling Shop on the way
to Honda Bay Wharf to rent for snorkeling mask. At the Honda Bay Wharf we
waited for the guides to have our permits to tour the islands in Honda
Bay. As we waited we took pictures along
the wharf. Our group in the van were the
last one to get a boat, and we joined the other group for our island hopping
since it was the last boat rented by our company.
After donning with lifevests, the group was ready to start
the tour and we went to Pambato Reef, a small protected underwater reef. The staging area of the created structure
just beside the reef comes with a large turtle on top. There was a briefing first before we were
able to check the reef.
Luli island was named because of the Lulubog (floats) –Lilitaw
(sinks) sand bars, the sandbars vanished during high tide and long sandbars
during low tide. Thankfully it was low
tide when we arrived here and the sand bars were wide and long.
Our group was really hungry after and we were asking our
boatman for lunch. He said that we had
to go to Cowrie island were our lunch
would be serve. We were all quiet but
after seeing the island from a distance we were very excited and grateful to
have our lunch.
We took pictures first and then head to the lunch prepared
at the end of the island.
This was our first tour before going to Sheridan Beach Resort
& Spa.
