HUNDRED ISLANDS: Speckles in Snapshots

The Hundred Islands of Pangasinan is comprised of around 130 islands and islets that speckle the vast waters of Lingayen Gulf. The entrance to Hundred Islands National Park is in Alaminos City, 5 hours away from Manila. The National Park management facilitates tour packages around the scattered islands--- the most popular are Governor's Island, Marcos Island, Quezon Island and Children's Island. Island hopping, snorkeling, swimming and diving are among the activities in the park. And don't miss the almost mandatory jump to Imelda Cave in Marcos Island.  

Here are snaps taken during my two separate visits to the park.

From Manila, take a bus direct to Alaminos, Pangasinan. Then take a tricycle to Lucap Wharf. Coordinate with Tourism Office for your tour.
