Hundred Islands is one of the Philippine’s famous summer destinations which is composed of its 123 islands located off the coast of Lucap, Alaminos City in Pangasinan. It is a perfect family getaway since its offers a variety of activities.
HOW TO GET THERE:
1. PRIVATE VEHICLE
It will be a 4 hour trip from Manila (via Camiling thru SCTEX); a 5 hr ride through Tarlac. Prepare with P300-P350 for Toll fees.
2. PUBLIC TRANSPO
You can ride the Victory Liner buses; they have regular trips to Baguio to Alaminos Straight, passing by the La Union province. If you’re from Baguio, it would take around 1 ½ hrs to reach Alaminos City.
WHAT TO SEE:
*Quezon Island – this is one of the main islands in Hundred Islands National Park, one of the most-developed. It has dining areas, nipa huts, tables & cottages. Rental fee for table is P200.00. There are also a lot of kayaks for rent here for P150.00. You can also see the giant clams here.
*Governor’s Island – the main attractions in this island are the Pinoy Big Brother House and the majestic top where you can have a 360 degrees view of the 123 islands.

To get to the top, you need to complete the 123 steps; quite tiring but definitely exciting and worth it.
trekking the 123 steps. Be Careful! 🙂
And don’t worry there will be an ice cream vendor once you reached the top – P15.00 per ice cream stick.
I forgot her name though, but she was nice she even offered to take a pic of my family so I dont have to set up my tripod. Thanks Ate!
the Pinoy Big Brother House. You can rent this for P10,000/night.
*Marcos (Imelda Cave) – my most favorite island. The sand here is much more powdery white than the one in Quezon Island. The water is very clear too – a perfect spot for snorkeling for the whole family because even the shallow part, one can find a huge collection of marine diversity.
Aside from that, what also makes this island special for me is the Imelda Cave. A different experience indeed – one needs to walk up to the top of the island, go inside a cave where you can witness an unbelievable sight – very cool almost green clear water! No other way to go out of the cave but to dive into the cool water, whew!

the way to Imelda Cave…

Pangasinan is LOVE. You might want to add Bolinao Beach in your Bucket List. Look for the public beach where you can enjoy the amber colored sand 🙂 WOW Philippines talaga!! KUDOS!
