“NO RECOMIENDO LA ACTIVIDAD. Nos vinieron a recoger al hotel de Puerto Princesa a las 3am, dejándonos en la playa del Nido a las 8am. Después de 1,30h esperando en la playa a que el barco zarpara, finalmente el barco salió con más pasajeros de los permitidos. El tour por el Nido estuvo bien, pero el precio del tour si se reserva ahí mismo es de 20 euros por persona, por lo que el precio ofrecido por Corazon es excesivo. Para acabar esta nefasta experiencia, cuando la actividad finalizó a las 4pm, nos dejaron tirados en la playa del Nido. Llamamos a la agencia y nos vino a buscar el…”

“NOT AS ADVERTISED. Very unorganised chaos from start to finish Did not get a room for 2 people, had to share with 4 (2 random people) due to them not sorting rooms. Also if you are a backpacker, they say you can store luggage but we couldnt and had to take our big backpacks with us. Activity provider not helpful. Our tour guide and boat crew were all lovely though and made the trip more enjoyable”
Review of Puerto Princesa’s Honda Bay island hopping tour, including Cowrie, Luli, Starfish Island, lunch, fees, snorkeling, and practical tips.
“celkově dost děsný. zaplacený ostrov Starfish jsme vůbec neviděli, celý den jsme strávili na ostrově Luli , kde vůbec nic nebylo, čekali jsme 5 hodin na oběd, až se uvolní místo, nakonec jsme jeli na ostrov Cowrie který se nám líbil, ale tady jsme byli jen 50 min, rozdělení času absolutně nechápu a hned jsme museli na lod a zpátky do přístavu. Celkově nudný výlet s nudným průvodcem, který stále jen mlčel a stál stranou. děsný”

He also went way above and beyond his duties as he stayed with us after the tour to show us how to get to downtown Puerto Princessa from Honda Bay. The islands were absolutely beautiful and of all the tours we did in Palawan this one had the best lunch. We were surrounded by colorful, beautiful fish during our snorkeling session and Step even pointed out 3 giant clams that were an endangered species. It was quite a sight to see…”
