Hundred Islands Exploration


At the Lucap wharf, the entrance to the National Park
Exploring Hundred Islands National Park in the City of Alaminos Province of Pangasinan is another dream come true. I've been hearing a lot of good things abut this national park in the Philippines which is totaling to 124 at low tide and 123 at high tide. These islands are covering an area of 16.76 square kilometers and are scattered in Lingayen Gulf. Governor Island, Quezon Island and Children Island are the only three islands which have been developed for tourism. The Lucap wharf in Alaminos, the entrance to the National Park, is about 240 kilometres north of Manila and could be reached by about 3.75 hours drive by private vehicle. By public transportation from Manila, the bus ride takes about 5 to 6 hours. Some of the wildlife found living in the park are crab-eating macaque; common palm civet; dugong; fraser's dolphin; gecko; monitor lizard; sea turtles; sea snakes; various bat species and various rodent species.

Upon reaching this viewing deck one has to climb up almost a hundred step stairs.
