Honda Bay (Puerto Princesa, Palawan)

Our first tour in Puerto Princesa was Honda Bay Tour. The van ride going to Honda Bay was exhilarating. Even Puerto Princesa is the city in Palawan, you can bet you'll never see nature like that in the normal city. I can't imagine what to expect in Coron or El Nido! Truly the people in Palawan gives much care and respect in their place, that makes people like me to live there. :)

When we were in a boat trip for our first island, Pandan Island, I was feeling so relaxed as the wind touched my face, the smell of nature and beautiful waters around me. The beauty of Pandan Island when we finally arrived was truly amazing. Like paradise, peaceful, with clear blue ocean, white sand, and huts for visitors with blue curtains.

We had an amazing experience with snorkeling here, considering it's my first time to be around fishes in lots of size and colors and experience touching a coral 60ft below (though what I didn't like about it is that my ears hurt due to pressure).

Next stop is Snake Island, same clear water and white sand, but the difference the sands curved up a path in a zigzag pattern, like a shape of a snake. we haven't got the chance to swim much here since were all tired from snorkeling in Pandan Island, and the heat of the sun was too hot, so we decided to just rest in the cottage while enjoying our halo halos and for some a fresh buko juice. :) Though of course, we didn't miss the chance for a photoshoot.

Last is the Starfish Island, where we enjoyed a lot of pictures to be reminded of how fun the experience we had there.

We never wanted to leave the place, just as our tourist told as that we were about to leave. But surely if there would be a place that I would plan to return to in Puerto Princesa, Honda Bay is number one in my list. :)
