Hundred Islands

**AnuVaYan** · April 14th, 2007 08:58 AM

Hmmm...After doing some more research, parang mas maganda nga talaga kung mag day trip lang sa Hundred Islands. Mas madami palang pwede puntahan sa Bolinao. May waterfalls, may caves, pwede din bumisita sa UP Marine Science Institute. Kaso naman parang ang mamahal ng mga accomodations. Hanap pa ako...

Hirap mag Overnight sa Island pag may kasama kang bata walang facilities dyan meron island na may generator pero Im sure fully book yon..siguro mga 4 years ago na ng huli akong mag punta dyan.. Kung galing ka ng Bagui tama yon Junction sa Urdaneta dyan ako na ligaw dati galing manila papunta dyan dapat pala sa Tarlac area palang kumaliwa na ako.. haba tuloy ng inikot ko.

Ingat lang sa island hopping medyo nakaka takot ang alon dyan ang hirap ma predict at saka parang laging ang lakas ng current sa ilalim

Thanks for the information on the boat rental rate....

Yes, Bolinao is another interesting place to visit (daw). It's already in the 'general vicinity'......

No prob. Nga pala, tiningnan ko din yung ibang questions dun e, lumalabas, yung rates na yan is just to visit 1 of the islands, kung gusto mo mag island hopping add 200 pa daw for 4 islands ata or 3 lang, not sure. tapos 100/island in excess. Meron naman akong nabasa sa ibang site naman nalimutan ko na may additional pa daw na 20 per head na tourist fee, ewan ko lang baka ginantso na sila nung bangkero.

Advisable daw na magpa reserve kaagad ng boat kasi minsan talagang nauubusan sila sa dami ng tao lalo na daw ngayong peak season.

In about the same time last year, we rented out medium boat that accomodated 8 adults for 800 pesos, we just added 200 para makapag-island hopping (all islands na yun). Then we rented din ung snorkel for 60 pesos a piece para dun sa area ng large clams...super ganda! Good thing a friend brought her underwater cam.

Huggle lang kayo sa mga price coz friendly mga tao dun.

We arrived there 5am at first stop was Childrens Island were camp temporarily. Cottage is 150. Dun muna kami nagluto ng bfast and lunch. Stayed there until about we finished eating at 11am. Then next is Quezon, swimming for another hour, then Snorkel sa Giant Clams which is located sa gitna ng dagat pero medyo mababaw naman water but I would advise to use lifevests. Then sa Governor at iba pang islands (sobra dami kulang ung maghapon)...pwede din dun sa may caves. Then just before sunset balik sa Lucap na.

Baka lang kako may mas maagang right turn para hindi ako ma-traffic sa Urdaneta..... I am looking at the possibility of passing by Hundred Is on our way back to Manila in either of these (2) trips....

OT: Sayang, we could have met at Jollibee (C5-Julia Vargas) during our FunRun. Wala na kasing nakapag-respond sa inquiry ninyo.....

Coming from BAguio (Pang-iwas URDANETA)

In Rosario (La Union) there's a Y-intersection, before reaching yung bridge na boundary ng LU at Pangasinan (Arch of Welcome to La Union).
Take the San Fabian - Mangaldan - DAgupan - Lingayen- Labrador - Sual - Alaminos route. Medyo scenic route dito since tabing dagat yung hiway ng San Fabian - Mangaldan - Dagupan.

Or

Drive down MArcos or Kennon all the way to Sison and Pozzorubio. Right ka sa junction then go towards the direction of San Jacinto- - Mangaldan - Dagupan - Lingayen - Labrador - Sual - Alaminos.

You only need to be there sa Lucap Port at the earliest possible time para di maubusan ng boat if ever. From Manila, usually alis kami ng 12 midnight and arrival in Alaminos is between 5am to 6am, just in time to do some Market chores sa pamilihang bayan. Been there 7 times for the last 3 years (pero di pa this year, we are considering Bolinao naman). Tapos dun sa Tourism Office sa Lucap, you need to register lahat ng names ng pupunta sa islands for proper documentation and also dun ka pipili ng island of your choice. Payment is 10 pesos per head, in return bigyan ka nila ng brochure. Dito ka din bayad ng Parking, so lahat ay properly noted and may mga receipts, also yung cottages ng island of your choice is dito din babayaran.

Since water is scarce sa island, advise na din to bring lots of drinking water. Meron dun kaso panghugas lang and would be limited to certain use lang. Sa Lucap meron namang Public Shower Rooms pagbalik nyo from the islands na well-maintained with a fee of 10 pesos.

Ayos a... Baka kaya magkasabay sabay pa tayo dun hehe... Hindi ko pa alam kung saan eksakto yung mga lugar pero merong
1. waterfalls sa Bolinao, yung isa natutuyo daw kapag summer pero 3 yata yun, so meron pang pwedeng puntahan na iba.
2. Meron ding mga caves na merong swimmingan sa loob.
3. Cape Bolinao (Bolinao light house) actually may isa pa nga yatang light house, pero ito ang famous.
4. Patar Beach, dun lang yun sa area ng Cape Bolinao, malapit na ata yung Puerto del Sol doon.
5. UP Marine Science Institute.
6. Pwede din mag day trip sa Hundred Islands. Ingat lang sa jelly fish. Madami daw dikya sa dun e. Ewan ko lang. Pero handa na lang ng vinegar para sure. Meron na ding product na nabibili na anti Jelly fish sting gawa ng Godiva. Kung matanda pwede pa tiisin, pero kung bata ma sting delikado.

Up lang po, planning to have a trip next week.

Ano po shortest route papunta Hundred Islands coming from Manila? Detailed sana, since 1st time to go there.

Or if you want stay kayo sa town before Alaminos which is Sual and Labrador.

Any suggestion which has a good accomodation for overnight stay sa Sual or Labrador? Ilang minutes drive to Lucap?

Bolinao (Puerto del Sol)

Malayo pa ba to sa Alaminos?
