Exploring Puerto Princessa, Palawan: Honda Bay Tour

One thing that you shouldn't miss when visiting Palawan is to go do a Honda Bay Tour. Our foster family was kind enough to accompany us to this tour, since they haven't done it before (despite living in Puerto Princessa).

They arranged everything for us, including the transpo. We got up early that morning, had breakfast and readied for another adventure.

 One thing I noticed by the way in Puerto Princessa is that their stop lights have counter. Forgive the blurred photo, we were mobile when we took it.

First stop of the island hopping tour was Pandan Island. This is a beautiful stretch of white beach owned by a private individual, thus there is a an entrance fee of PhP50 per head.

We had our lunch in the island. We bought fresh crabs and squids, and had the care-takers of the island cook them,  and again we forgot to take pictures of the food. (We seem to have a problem remembering to take food pics. LOL)

Pardon my indulgence in the next few pictures but when you're in a picturesque location, and a hubby who loves taking pictures, you can't help but have a photo shoot.

After lunch, we also did some more photo op, this time with tricks.

no, i didn't drink all that beer!

yes, i drank all the buko juice!

now i will eat the meat!

After spending some hours, we decided to move to the next destination called Snake Island. I don't know how the island got its name, hopefully, not because it's full of snakes. LOL

After a few hours of beautiful weather,  thus allowing us to swim to our hearts' content,  nature changed her mind and decided to shower some rains. Wed packed up and decided to call it a day.
