Honda Bay Island Hopping - 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!

Great beach day - This tour was awesome!
It was absolutely beautiful and the stops were perfectly timed. At no point did it ever feel rushed.
The lunch was delicious and our guide, Joshua, was really kind and funny. It felt like a relaxing beach day with nothing to worry about as he handled everything!

Worth the trip - It was a short 20min trip from the center of the city. The views were amazing. Our guide Sir Echo was very friendly and accomodating. He used his magic to make our tour extra efficient. Thank you so much! Highly recommend.

Great Island Hopping experience - Jeff was a lovely, friendly, personable and funny tour guide. He knows his way around Honda Bay Island and its surroundings. He was super helpful with answering our questions, helped take photos of us and even looked after our belongings. A great tour guide that I’ll be more than happy to book again next time. The islands were very nice. Cowrie Island was the most beautiful and they provided us with a lovely lunch! Really enjoyed myself.

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.

Nice to try - I took the excursion to the islands of Honda Bay, precise pick up at the hotel at the agreed time and in an hour we were already snorkeling unfortunately the spot is not much. Second step luly beach great for swimming and some photos. Then really great lunch one of the best ever eaten on excursion. Last bath and then back. Really fantastic guide for the price I definitely recommend it
