The Leisure Islands

Most Honda Bay day trips stop at three main islands for swimming, eating, and relaxing.

Standard island-hopping tours depart from Sta. Lourdes Wharf and focus on these leisure spots. They offer shallow waters and basic amenities. Island entrance fees apply for DIY visitors. You will pay ₱150 for Cowrie, ₱120 for Luli, and ₱100 for Starfish.

Remember to pack reef-safe sunscreen and a reusable water bottle. Single-use plastics are strictly banned in Puerto Princesa.

Luli is a unique sandbar that gets its name from the phrase 'Lulubog-Lilitaw'. This means it sinks at high tide and appears at low tide. Check out the diving board platform on the island for some jumping fun.
