Hundred Islands, Pangasinan
A visit to the Pangasinan Hundred Island means... more fun... island hopping... swimming... and sight seeing.
Once you reached Aliminos, Pangasinan, proceed to the pier where there's
a parking area to park your car.
You need to register with the local Tourism Agency unit, which handles the
assigning of your Tour Guide, Boat, Safety Gears (Life Vest), Snorkeling Gears, etc. This is also where you pay the corresponding dues/charges.
Tip 1: Depending on what time you arrive, you can take your lunch before riding your boat. Else, just bring your food and go island hopping already.
Tip 2: Bring everything you need, your clothes, food, water, towel, camera, sun block lotion, etc. You can keep it dry inside the boat.
Tip 3: Depending on your budget, you can take the package for the whole day rental of the boat. This way, you can actually leave your things (dry) inside the boat. Just leave valuable items in you car.
Tip 4: You can also opt to be brought back to your selected swimming place (island) and just arrange pick-up time with your Tourist Guide. With this option, I would suggest you go island hopping first, then once you have been to each of the islands, you will have an idea of which island to stay.

This is where we stayed for the rest of the day.
It fits the place we want to stay more... nice white sand beach... not so crowded...
Just perfect for us!
