Honda Bay
Best time to visit
The best time to visit is in the morning when the water is especially calm and underwater visibility is sharper. During the dry season from December to early May, the weather is clearer and the days are warmer.
Budget tips
Docking usually comes with an extra fee, but cheaper boat tours can be found in group deals or directly from local agencies. It is cost-effective to rent snorkeling equipment on-site for several hours.
