Honda Bay island hopping

Puerto Princesa’s east coast, reached through Sta. Lourdes wharf

A Honda Bay day has two separate moving parts: the road transfer from Puerto Princesa to Sta. Lourdes wharf, then the boat trip into the bay. We can put both into one quote, with a private vehicle sized for your group and the boat arranged through a licensed local operator.

What you should know before you book

  • Honda Bay lies on the east coast of Puerto Princesa, north of the city centre.
  • Island-hopping departures use Sta. Lourdes wharf, so every boat day begins and ends with a road transfer unless you are already staying nearby.
  • The bay contains multiple islands and sandbars rather than one single attraction; the islands available on a given day depend on local access and operating conditions.
  • The boat portion is handled by local licensed operators at the wharf, while the city-to-wharf leg is an overland transfer.
  • Honda Bay is a separate day from the Underground River at Sabang, which sits on Palawan’s west coast and uses a different departure point.

We publish facts, not fares. Prices depend on the vehicle or boat, your group size, waiting time and the season, so every trip is quoted individually — free and with no obligation.

Honda Bay island hopping: common questions

Do I need a transfer for a Honda Bay day?

Unless you are already staying nearby, yes. Island-hopping departures use Sta. Lourdes wharf, so every boat day begins and ends with a road transfer from Puerto Princesa. We can put the vehicle and the boat into one quote.

Which islands will I visit in Honda Bay?

The bay contains multiple islands and sandbars rather than one single attraction, and which ones are available on a given day depends on local access and operating conditions. That is confirmed locally on the day rather than promised in advance.

Can I do Honda Bay and the Underground River on the same day?

No. They are separate days. Honda Bay is on the east coast of Puerto Princesa, while the Underground River is reached from Sabang on the west coast and uses a completely different departure point.

Who runs the boat?

The boat portion is handled by local licensed operators at the wharf, while the city-to-wharf leg is an overland transfer in a private vehicle sized for your group and day bags.

Anything specific to your dates, group or pickup point is answered on the quote — that is where the actual vehicle, timing and fixed all-in price come from.
