Palawan private transfer
Puerto Princesa to Honda Bay
Puerto Princesa Honda Bay (Sta. Lourdes wharf)
A Honda Bay day is two trips, not one. The island hopping happens on a boat from the wharf, but before any of that you have to get out of Puerto Princesa and up the coast to Barangay Sta. Lourdes — and then back again, tired and salty, at the end of the day. Booking that road leg privately means one vehicle held for your group all day rather than a tricycle negotiation in each direction.
Plan the route correctly
- Honda Bay lies on Puerto Princesa’s mid-eastern coast, north of the city proper, so the wharf run is a city-to-coast drive within the same city boundaries.
- Sta. Lourdes wharf — also signposted as Honda Bay wharf — is the official departure point, where boat registration and fees are handled before you board.
- The road transfer and the boat are separate arrangements: we quote the vehicle, and the bay crossing is run by licensed local boat operators at the wharf.
- Which islands and sandbars are reachable on a given day depends on local access and conditions, so the wharf side of the day is not fixed in advance.
- Honda Bay is a different day and a different coast from the Underground River at Sabang, which departs west from Puerto Princesa — the two do not combine into one outing.
- Say whether you are starting from a city hotel, a resort outside the centre or straight off a flight at Puerto Princesa International Airport (PPS), because those are three different pickup points.
What your quote can cover
- Private vehicle sized for your group, day bags and beach gear
- Hotel, resort or PPS airport pickup at the time confirmed in writing
- Drop-off at Sta. Lourdes wharf for your boat departure
- The return leg from the wharf after the boats come back
- The Honda Bay boat day arranged alongside it through a licensed local operator
We publish route guidance, not generic fares or timings. Your quote is based on the actual date, pickup, accommodation, passenger count, luggage and vehicle needed.
