Honda Bay - Island Hopping

Sepo and I woke up early and prepared our things as we were about to check out at Circon. Kuya Allan, with a driver fetch us and brought us at Renwick’s place. We left our things there and headed to Honda Bay together with Ren and Redge.

We travelled half an hour and reached St. Lourdes Wharf. Our driver and Kuya Allan left after they dropped us, they’ll just come back after our island hopping tour. We paid for the boat rental and some other fees. Afterwards, we went to a store near the cashier and rented snorkeling gears. We bought also bread for the fish feeding.

First stop was Star Fish Island. We just roamed around and looked for starfish! ^_^ Our boatman was kind enough to search for us much bigger starfish for picture purposes, then after the photo session we sent it back where they belong.

hindi ko po sila sinaktan, hinawakan ko lang po

Next was Snake Island. Here, we had our lunch, took lots of pictures, snorkeling and fish feeding.

Third stop, Pandan Island. Of course, lots of photo opps, swim and rest for a while.

Then we headed to our last destination, the Pambato Reef, for our major snorkeling experience. This was what I enjoyed most! ^_^ We saw a breath-taking paradise underneath the sea. The corals were magnificent! I saw different kinds of fish and lots of schools of fish, they were beautiful! Yiiiiee! ^_^ I was just so overwhelmed with this God’s creation! The feeling was exquisite!

Palawan Rocks! \m/


I was amazed with our boatman, because he guided us along Pambato's perimeter without life vest. There's this rope tied at his waste while me and Sepo held on it. ^__^ (Ang bigat namen db?!) You can not do snorkeling here if its low tide. 


We ended our island hopping with a big smile! ^___^ It was so enjoyable! Hours of exposure under the sun, unforgettable first time experiences, all of these will be forever cherished!
