Fun and relaxing at three islands: starfish island, luli island and cowrie islands with new friends met via the tour. 
Starfish Island has the greatest population of Star Fish (Sea Stars) in all of Palawan, as evident in its name. Symmetric five-armed orange Star Fish are the most abundant type in the area but you may be lucky to spot other varieties. Starfish island has many colorful fish to see at shallow water and enjoyed a wonderful Phillipino seafood lunch. It was very relaxing to empty my mind and float in the ocean and let the water massage my body.
Luli Island is actually a short term for "Lulubog - Lilitaw", which means Sink & Rise, which is what the Island does; at high tide the island disappears and at low tide, it reappears.
Cowrie Island is named after the small-to-large sea snail, marine gastropod mollusc called "cowrie." The island has a number of cabanas, a pavillion and thatched-roof spa huts, all over looking the sea and creating a beautiful, picturesque scene. Cowrie Island has recently opened to the public as an alternative to the crowded Pandan Island, situated nearby.
Comparing with island hopped in hawaii, Puerto Rico, Vietnam, and Central America, this one was more lay back, few people, more fish in clearer water.
Honda Bay consisting of several islets with beautiful beaches, Honda Bay is the place to go to for swimming, snorkeling as well as beach and island hopping. Accessible via the Sta. Lourdes wharf which is 25 minutes away from the city.
