Honda Bay Islands Hopping

Honda Bay Island Hopping is an exciting day trip to the enchanting islands scattered around the bay, washed by turquoise clear waters teeming with marine life.

Luli Island in Honda Bay was so named because the sandbar sinks and rises with the tides (Lulubog = sink & Lilitaw = appear). Luli Island is best visited at low tide because then you can see the beautiful golden sandbar.

The first thing you will notice when you arrive on Cowrie Island is the stunning white sand beach and clear blue water. The island was named after the brightly-shelled mollusks that locals say thrive in the area (these shells are also popularly used as decorations in some Filipino homes). Cowrie Island is one of the most popular islands in Honda Bay and is great for swimming and sunbathing.
Recreational facilities include a restaurant, beach cottages, massage cabanas, volleyball and a beach bar.
Cowrie Island is usually the last stop on the Honda Bay Island Hopping Tour, where you will have lunch.

Starfish Island takes its name from the abundance of starfish that populate the warm waters around the island. This secluded island has a beautiful sandy beach, crystal clear blue waters and a mangrove forest. The water is so clear that you can easily see the starfish in their natural habitat.
