I went on a join in tour in Honda Bay - Starfish Island - You’ll be given over an hour or two to enjoy snorkeling in the waters of Starfish islands. A huge population of starfishes is in the coastal waters of the island where you could touch, take a photo and play with them. However, as a responsible traveler, don’t throw them like a beach ball like what other tourists did that made them viral on social media. Don’t lift them up for long out of the seawater as they would die if you do, crustaceans won’t be able to defend themselves if you torture them out of the seawater, it would only take 10 seconds for them to live. Like humans, if someone puts you in the water for long without an oxygen tank, you’ll get drown and die, that’s also the case for starfishes so don’t abuse them just for the sake of Instagrammable photos! Luli Island - Finally! After being tortured with the smell of delicious grilled pork and fish in Starfish Island, it’s time to eat a heavy lunch in Luli Island, which is our second destination! Luli came from the Tagalog word, “Lulubog, lilitaw” which means “sinking down and rising up”. If it’s high tide, the water rises up and seawater swallows up almost the entire island including the beach huts. You’ll enjoy more of this island if it’s low tide ofcourse. Then lastly, Cowrie Island - Here, you can enjoy ordering and eating afternoon snacks at a restaurant on the island while having fun on the seashore. I recommend their fruit shakes to cool off under the heat of the sunlight.…

We had an island hopping tour last October 2019. It was an amazing experience. The place do not look abused despite the fact that there are a lot of tourist on the islands. It was a good trip. Want to go back again if given another chance.

Nice day out but first 2x islands very touristy and limited snorkelling. Final stop at the reef was better with lots of fish, but sea very choppy as was windy (might be better on a clear day) and water visibility not great. The actual pickup and drop off took much longer than expected due to having multiple passengers, but met some nice people. If you like snorkelling, apparently El Nido much better, this felt like a bit of a “tourist trap”. …
