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.
If the sea is too rough to sail, or the operator calls the day off, the boat day we chartered for you is rebooked or refunded — you are not left paying for a day you did not get. The road transfer either side is quoted as its own leg, so you keep the vehicle you still need.
Airport pickups are met in the arrivals area with a name board rather than at the kerb, and the written confirmation sent before you travel carries the driver and vehicle details.
The departure leg is quoted the same way: send the flight you are catching and the pickup is worked back from it rather than guessed, and where the timing is tight we will say plainly whether it works.
Everything we arrange is in English, and we are the English-speaking end of it on the day as well as before it — if something moves, message us rather than trying to settle it at the roadside. We do not promise a particular driver’s fluency; instead the written confirmation carries the pickup, the driver and vehicle details and the shape of the day, so it is settled in writing rather than negotiated at a kerb.
A hotel or resort pickup is arranged in advance like an airport one: the written confirmation sent before you travel names the pickup point and time and carries the driver and vehicle details, so nothing has to be arranged at a front desk on the morning. The vehicle is yours rather than a shared shuttle, so it runs at your time.
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.
The road legs are what we quote: your hotel or the airport out to Sta. Lourdes wharf, and the return after the boats come back. The bay crossing itself is run by licensed local boat operators at the wharf and can be arranged alongside the vehicle.
Sta. Lourdes wharf, also signposted as Honda Bay wharf, on Puerto Princesa’s mid-eastern coast north of the city proper. Boat registration and fees are handled there before you board.
No — they are different days on different coasts. Honda Bay is north-east of the city, while the Underground River departs west towards Sabang. Each needs its own transfer.
No. The return leg is part of the same quote, with the vehicle held for your group for the day rather than leaving you to negotiate a ride at the wharf at the end of a long day.
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.
Free, no obligation, and no payment to ask. If a leg does not make sense on your dates, we will say so rather than sell it to you.
