The second island, Luli, is a fantastically bizarre islet which disappears at high tide. There’s a restaurant here on stilts and the hammock hut is set on floatation devices! This spot is great for families, with a secure swimming area, diving boards and lots of tiny fish.
The final island, Cowrie Island, is the biggest and offers a couple of bars serving frozen cocktails, which was extremely welcome. By the time we reached the island, it was very very hot, and the sand was scalding. This is a lovely island to spend a day on if you like the “extras”: there are a couple of restaurants, beach huts, water skiing and a large sound system.
The tour ended at about 5pm and we returned to our start point in Puerto Princesa. The town has a pretty big range of choices from local cuisines to western choices, and if you’re not up for a 10-20-minute wander, you can find a tuk-tuk every few metres.
