We especially recommend joining others from the resort on a motorized boat island hopping excursion around Honda Bay which is close to Puerto Princesa, Palawan's capital, and has many interesting islands of varying shapes and sizes. One of these is Bat Island which is home to thousands of fruit bats that live among the trees and which set out at night to search for food. At dawn they fly back to the island in massive circadian formation. You will also visit Snake Island, a large sandbar that is shaped like a coiled giant snake, Starfish Island, on whose beach large numbers of starfish are washed by the tides, and Pandan Island, famous for its groves of coconut and other palms. All these islands offer white sand beaches and opportunities for snorkelling, swimming, sunbathing and beachcombing. A picnic lunch is taken on one of the islands and you will return to the resort in the afternoon.

You will pass along part of the river in a small boat admiring the unusual shapes that have been formed by the limestone erosion. Some of the caves you pass through have been compared to temple domes due to their size and the array of glittering stalactites that hang from the roof. The stalagmites rising from the water also help to create an eerie atmosphere.
