Expendable
An excursion disaster, a lot of time wasted until you get on the boat, little or no guidebook information. Find another company to do it

A Relaxing Tour of Honda Bay
My main goal of this tour is to see the islands of Honda Bay. That was achieved. The extras like lunch, transportation to the dock, information/history of the area, supplying equipment for guests to swim with the fish, boat ride in the bay just made the tour more fun. I like to thank the tour guide for speaking English. My Tagalog isn't that great. The day before the tour, I had an allergy attack. I took a Benadryl before I was picked up and felt drowsy. I was glad I can just relax on the pier while other guests were swimming with the fish. After lunch, I took advantage of sleeping on the swinging hammocks on Cowrie Island. That was really relaxing after eating all the shrimps for lunch. I really enjoyed the tour.
