Puerto Princesa City Travel Forum

Hi! My husband and I are going to be in Puerto Princesa at the end of November and we're very excited! :)

I just need a little help finalizing details since we're planning to do everything ourselves.

For the Honda Bay Island Hopping:

- i've been seeing different boat prices ranging from P1000 to P1300, does this include island entrance fees already? what's included in that price? also, is there a maximum number of islands and maximum number of hours for that fee? ...we were planning to go to Pandan Island (for snorkeling), Snake Island (for lunch and lounging), Starfish Island and Lu-Li Island in that order and we want to be in Bat Island by sunset so we can watch the bats fly off. is this feasible?

- if we're planning to buy seafood in the market and have it cooked in Snake Island, how much is the cooking charge? and do they sell rice there or do we have to buy that in the market, too? how much should our budget be for simple grilled fish and rice for 2 people? will they have utensils there and drinks?

- how much for the tricycle ride if we leave our hotel, go to the market, go to the pier then have the tricycle wait for us to get back to the hotel again?

oh and IF by some bizaare turn of events, there's someone out there who might have similar plans, please let me know! maybe we can all go on the trip together and share the boat expense! :D

i'd really appreciate all the help!!! thanks soooo much!!! :D

Oh! Would you have any idea then how much boat rental is for 3 to 4 islands?

alright then! thanks for the help! :)

i think the boat hopping is a bit more than that i think is 1500 pesos foods also included also the fees also better to bring some money for incase...... .. but if u can ask local people there they can help u guys for that u might get a boat for 1200 pesos only...about the tricycle its so cheap.... u can pay him 50 pesos. i think the cooking is no charge..
how many days u going to stay in palawan?
thanks
