Shore excursion: Puerto Princesa Island Hopping Tour

We had the most amazing time. Ana was our tour guide and wow! She was amazing. She gave us so much information about the island. She was so caring and made our trip one we will remember forever I highly recommend

Really that’s great. Our guide was on top. Very welcoming and inviting. We first go to the place where there is a boat to take us to the 3 points of the tour. 1st island where we can take pictures and where a buffet prepared by the guide will be served. Then 2nd places, kind of pontoon for snorkeling or just swimming and 3rd places for swimming, taking pictures, massage, ephemeral tattoo and bar available. Really nothing to say. A full day on top I recommend +++. You have to pay 100 or 150 Pesos phi for the mandatory diving shoe rental to get in the boat (mask for diving at extra charge bring yours otherwise).

First, our tour guide, Ana, was the best. She went above and beyond in every respect. She even personally cooked our masarap lunch. I wish more tour guides were like her. She took personal pride in representing her beautiful country. The tour was great too! We were never rushed and got to see everything we wanted. We ended up coming home a little earlier than scheduled because we had seen all we wanted to see. We never needed to wait for anything. When we were ready go to the next spot, Ana and the boatmen were ready.

Good trip, comfortable. Enjoyed the starfish island. Guide was helpful and provided information about the islands.

They do what they say. Picked up outside the small port with driver and tour guide who stays with you through the day. Islands are great with plenty of swimming and snorkelling. Starfish island is best and Luli island ok for fish watching. Cowrie island waste of time for snorkelling but nice beach. Good organisation and a great day.

Tour guide was waiting for us as we disembarked. Took us straight to the taxi, and once at Honda Bay we hired snorkeling equipment. Tour details said it would be a boat trip to Honda Bay but taxi was fine. The boat was ready to take us to Starfish Island and Cowrie Island. We swapped a visit to an island for a stop off on a reef station to view the coral. We were a bit apprehensive about using an external tour operator rather than a cruise ship excursion but all was fine. Longer time and better value. Lunch provided was tasty. I would add that getting off the boats was a bit tricky, although the lads on board were there to give a hand. Our tour guide Argel was fabulous, although still waiting for him to send some photograph and video

We visited Puerta Princesa by cruiship and decided to book a private Honda Bay Island hopping tour. Though the weather was not at it's best we had a wonderful day with our tourguides. They picked us from the cruise port on time and took us by outtrigger boat to 3 most beautiful islands with some nice snorkeling spots. We also enjoyed our buffet lunch, which was very good and plentiful. So despite the rainy weather we enjoyed the tour

I love that the community of Puerto Princesa work as one entity in taking care of their people and their natural resources. The responsibilities are shared by the people and not burdened on local government alone.

Company was good, on time, nice, good food. But I found it VERY upsetting how people treated the starfish. Not only holding them out of the water but also tossing them back into the water. Taking starfish out of water is like forcibly dunking an air breathing creature under water without air. It’s cruel. And can lead to the death of starfish. LEAVE THE STARFISH ALONE

Very good island trip. We were picked up on time and treated very well. Friendly crew and guide. We booked a private trip and as we left a bit late from the hotel, they visited the islands against the normal route. Giving us not crowded islands and as a result plenty of space.
