Frequently Asked Questions

Most ships berth alongside. The centre is then about ten minutes away by road, often by motorised tricycle whose racket is part of the experience.
Honda Bay or the town. The Underground River takes most of the day and only suits long calls. City walkers do well between the cathedral, the public market and the Baywalk, all close to the pier.
A river that disappears beneath a limestone mountain near the hamlet of Sabang, some fifty kilometres north. The national park is a World Heritage site and one of the New7Wonders of Nature. You travel it by boat, wearing a helmet.
Most of the day: a winding road several hours each way, plus a short bangka crossing. It is the headline excursion of the call and must be booked in advance.
A string of islets 30 to 45 minutes offshore: Luli, a sandbar that appears and vanishes with the tide; Cowrie, the best equipped; Starfish, ringed by shallow water. Excursions usually combine two or three.
Yes, at Honda Bay: mask and snorkel are enough to explore the coral around the islets, and grilled fish served on the spot rounds out the trip.
A seafront promenade lined with kiosks and terraces facing the fishing boats. You can try lechon or kinilaw, raw fish cured in citrus, while local families gather in the cool of the evening.
By motorised tricycle, for a few coins. The city calls itself a city in a forest, and the slogan holds up: giant trees over the rooftops, well-kept gardens and remarkably clean streets.
The Philippine peso, in small notes for tricycles and stalls. English is an official language and is used everywhere, alongside Filipino and Palawan languages.
No. The Underground River and Honda Bay pull in opposite directions, and you must decide before going ashore. A hat, water and some local cash make the hours ashore easier.
