Few weeks ago I’ve been to Hundred Islands National Park in Alaminos Pangasinan. This national park comprises of 123 islands scattered along the Lingayen Gulf. Only three of them have been developed for tourism: Governor island, Quezon island, and Children's island. The Lucap wharf in Alaminos is the entrance to the national park.

I accompanied my good and generous friend who shoulders my expenses for this trip. We left Manila at around 10 in morning and arrived Alaminos at around 4 pm.
We stayed at Boy Dino transient house. His rooms range from 1000 to 1500 per night depending on the number of occupants. Each room has a fridge, small kitchen, private bathroom and aircon unit.
Mang Dino can be your one-stop-shop as he also owns boats that accommodates 5 to more than 20-passenger capacity. The rental depends whether you will use the boat as a service boat (private and you own your time) during a day tour or take overnight in the islands from 800.00 to 2,000.000 depending on the size of the boat.

It was indeed a rewarding experience to reach one of the Philippines’ tourist destinations, the Hundred Islands National Park of Pangasinan.
how to get there
There are several bus lines from Cubao that go directly to Alaminos, you can take buses to the neighboring towns such as Bolinao. The routes all pass through Alaminos. Once you’re in the city center, take a 10-minute tricycle ride to the Lucap wharf.
