Just a few minutes north of the city proper, hop onto a boat and go island hopping at Honda Bay Palawan located in the mid-eastern coast of the city. Each Palawan island offers different thrills: Pandan Island, a well-known dive site, has good reefs near small drop-offs. Visitors may also explore the island's large vegetative cover.

At Dos Palmas Palawan Resort on Arreceffi Island, the AA class Palawan Resort offers visitors facilities for scuba diving, snorkeling, kayaking and fishing activities. Lu-li Island is a diminutive sandbar that derived its name from the Tagalog Term "lulubo-lilitaw" as its disappears and resurfaces upon the action of the tide.

Structures on stilts serve as picnic area for island-hoppers, and diving board attracts acrobatic swimmers. Snake Island has long stretch of sandbar that slithers on the surface of the sea, much like the critter that bears its name. It is best for snorkeling, swimming, or simply basking in the sand.

Skyscraping coconut trees and the shade-providing talisay trees frame the picturesque Cowrie Island. Goat's foot vines creep on the fine white sand beach with crystal-clear waters offshore. Starfish Island is a sandbar that is just great for swimming and snorkeling and has a resort that offers facilities for overnight stay and picnic huts to enhance your Palawan Vacation.

To add some spice to your Palawan island-hopping sortie, take a trip to Señorita Island and get educated on seaweed farming and fish cage culture. And if you happened to be in the Honda Bay of Palawan Philippines at sundown, watch thousands of bats making their way out of Bat Island to look for food in the mainland.
