  Date : January 17, 2016 | Author : Jeric Par Esplana | Category : Travel Blog
Hundred Island
Hundred Islands is located in Alaminos, Pangasinan and considered as one of the famous tourist destination in northern part of Luzon.  It is the first National Park here in the Philippines. There are 124 islands at low tide and 123 islands at high tide scattered in Lingayen Gulf. Most of the islands are not accessible because those are just stand alone rock formations with many trees on top.  As of today, Quezon Island, Lopez Island, Marcos Island, Governor’s Island, Children’s Island, Cuenco Island and Virgin Island are innovated made for the tourist.
No worries where to park your car when you arrived here. Registration area has a wide parking lot to offer with roving security guards so the place is well secured. Street vendors will welcome you with their products (souvenirs, floral cap, shades, etc.

Beautiful Islands
Every part of the place are all amazing especially the islands. You will enjoy the views of different islands throughout the trip. The pristine water of the sea is mesmerizing that can see its bottom. It’s really a summer destination for the beach bummers. The locals are all nice to tourist and will greet you politely.

Quezon Island
You'll experience the powdery semi-white sand of the beautiful island of Governor’s Island and Quezon Island. A surreal beauty of water that features an aquamarine clear water. Snorkeling area is just 50-10 meters away from Quezon Island.

Governor's Island
Availing boat service have to two options, either Regular or Service.If you're in a tight budget, choose Regular because it is cheaper but with time limit. On the other hand, service is a bit expensive than regular and the good thing here is you can go anywhere, anytime. You can absolutely maximize your island hopping here in Hundred Islands.


Virgin Island
Virgin Island is the farthest of them all. You will need to walk for about 20-30 minutes from Governor's Island. It added an adventure with its ups and downs trail. There's no cottage or any structures built for the tourist. You will be amazed by the cave of this island at the end of the trail. There's also a statue of mermaid inside the cave.

Mermaid Statue
Amazing work of art in the middle of the sea! Where to find it? Just go to the end point of the Virgin Island, you will see another cave and this Statue of a Mermaid will mesmerize your eyes. It's a must see attraction in Hundred Islands. 

Perfect Sunrise
I just want to share this picture I captured on our second day in Pangasinan. It’s really a one of a kind dramatic sunrise I’ve ever had. You can try it also if ever you encounter this bridge going to Alaminos Market. It’s perfectly suited to the center of the bridge. You don’t need a high end camera just to have this kind of shot, I just used my smartphone just in right time.
