Honda Bay Island Hopping

Jules_D, Mar 2026

The Honda Bay Island Hopping Tour was a great experience I highly recommend. My partner and I were picked up by the group around 7am for this trip, and the drive to the Honda Bay Wharf was only about 20 minutes. Along the way you stop by a shop to rent snorkel gear, wet shoes, and/or flippers. My partner and I just brought our own goggles and wore sandals we could swim with and were fine. I do recommend wet shoes for Luli island as the sand there had some rocks. There were 3 stops for island hopping, (1) Pamtambo Reef, where you stop on a floating dock and snorkel to see the reef and many fishes, (2) Luli island, which has a diving board, hammocks, and more shallow areas, and (3) Cowrie island, where you have lunch and spend most of the time. Cowrie Island was my personal favorite because of both shallow water to relax in and deeper water to swim and snorkel. The views were beautiful, the ocean was refreshing, and the tour was very well paced so it felt relaxing and not rushed. My partner and I were dropped off at our hotel around 3:30pm, which was earlier than we expected which was also nice. Overall, great trip!

Snorkeling Swimming Relaxing and Great Lunch Buffet

Rich_C, Feb 2026

Very relaxing day. Enjoyable snorkeling, swimming, and an amazing lunch. Jed was a great guide. Relaxing day!

A great day out

It is recommended to wear water shoes and the first stop in the van is a place to rent water shoes and snorkel gear. We had already selected to have snorkel gear included but then ended up having to pay to hire water shoes and if we'd known we could've bought our own. Make sure to ask for a receipt for the environmental fee as you can use this for if you return to honda bay or for the underground river. At the first snorkelling stop, there are a lot of fish and some big fish because they're expecting to be fed which can be intense. The second stop was an island where there were different activities and we stayed here and hour and then went to the final island where we had lunch. It was very beautiful, lunch was tasty and there was a bar, a coconut station and lots of other activities. It would have been nice to stay at the second island longer but overall it was a really fun day and our tour guide was really friendly and helpful.
