Hundred Islands | Alaminos, Pangasinan
05:39:00
Hundred Island National Park is located in Alaminos, Pangasinan. It takes about 4-5 hours drive from Manila. Why do we choose to visit this place? Simply because of the beauty of the islands itself. One of my joys in travelling iis being able to explore new places, the possibility of finding something new and unique always thrills me. And so here's the story of my 4days and 3nights of adventuring Alaminos and Bolinao, Pangasinan.
ISLAND HOPPING IN HUNDRED ISLANDS
We ride a victory liner bus bound to Alaminos and unfortunately, we arrived at the terminal around 3:00AM. I texted the owner of the Transient House referred by the conductor of the Victory liner. He fetched us at the terminal by his motorcycle. We just rent a room for Php 500.00 until morning. He also give us a ride to Lucap wharp to avoid the tricycle drivers who doubles the fare to Lucap Wharp. When we arrived at the wharf we did some negotiations about the boat that we're gonna used, i choose the small regular boat because we're just only two and i only want to visit the 3 major island the Governors, Children and Quezon Island or if you want to visit all the islands you need to pay Php 1,300.00 for a service boat. Since the registration is just beside the market we decided to bought some packed lunch to our island hopping tour.
The start of our island hopping tour.
Some of the island we've passed by.
Our first stop is the Governors Island, this is where the island to island zip-line is located. You just need to take the 140 steps going to the view deck. The zipline ride is Php 250.00/person. We weren't able to do it because of the strong wind.
See that orange floating bridge? It is the bridge that connects the virgin island and governors island when you have your zipline ride.
getting ready for our next island.
Our next island is the Children's Island. You can rent a snorkeling gear for Php 200.00 and you can enjoy seeing the fish and beautiful corals. A place where you can relax and swim your stress away.
I'm looking at the island because it looks like a turtle.
Sailing away all my stress and we're going to Quezon Island.
We just chill in one the cottages on top to see this picturesque view.
Very pristine white sand and turquoise clear water in Marcos Island.
Finally saying goodbye to Hundred Islands, gonna miss every island we'd visit. We'll be back again to try the zip line and all the activities that we missed.
"You can achieved your dream destination if you pursue it, plan it and just do it."
