Hundred Islands National Park Travel Guide

You’ve seen Hundred Islands National Park in your text books and splashed all over travel brochures of the Philippines. Hundred Islands in Alaminos Pangasinan is definitely one of the most iconic attractions of the Philippines. Although my recent visit there was short, it was worth every second.

Birds Eyeview from Quezon Island’s Viewdeck

The national park actually covers a land area of 1,884 hectares and consists of 123 islands, however only 3 islands have been developed for tourists. These are Governor, Quezon and Children’s Island.

One of the islands you should visit is Governor’s Island where there is a viewing deck which will provide you with an incredible view of the the Hundred Islands. This island also features a Guesthouse for rent which is perfect for use by a huge group. The guesthouse has 2 bedrooms, a living room, dining room, bathroom and kitchen. It has limited fresh water supply, fresh linens and generator powered electricity.

Boat Rental in Lucap Wharf

Quezon Island is also one of the most visited islands. This island is famous for its white sandy beaches that is best for snorkeling and kayaking. Kayaking and snorkeling equipment rental is available in the island. If you are looking for more of an isolationist experience, you can ask your boat driver to take you to one of the other islands with smaller beach coves.

Best Time to Visit

It highly recommended to visit the national park during dry or summer season November to May. If you are traveling by bus, its best to leave Manila by 12 midnight to reach the place just in time for breakfast.
