We Travel Tripsters woke up early for our Honda Bay Isalnd Hopping. Upon stepping out of our hotel, we spotted our previous Tricycle driver Jeremy waiting outside for customers. Since fellow Travel Tripster Kurt seemed to like Jeremy, he negotiated with him for the price of 850 php to take us to Honda Bay (based on my research it should 300-400 php if bound for Honda Bay alone), Bonton, Irawan Falls (we went all the way up here to find out it was closed to public =() and Hot Spring. We could have also rode a jeepney bound to Sta. Lourdes Bay (15 php/person) but Kurt didn't want the hassle despite the huge savings.
We didn't have any snorkeling gears so Jeremy brought us to Ken's Snorkeling Gears Rental.
Based on my research, the price was more expensive than the rental shops in the Honda Bay itself. But Jeremy told us that the gears here as more hygenic and in good condition.
We inspected the shop and found it to be true.
The Booties are flawless and very clean.
The masks and snorkel are sterilized, dried and plastic wrapped.
We didn't have a waterppof camera but we saw that the had an underwater camera case for rent for 200 php. We were quite hesitant but they assured us that it was safe. Once we agreed to rent, the staff did his thing to seal it properly with the case. They used tissue napkins and scotch tape. As soon as we paid, Jeremy took some bags of bread (which he says are free to all customers) with us. I wondered what it was for. We later found out the it was to feed and lure the fishes.
We Travel Tripsters highly recommend Ken's Snorkeling Gears Rental. The gears are as you can see worth the rental fee and the service is good too.
