The Hundred Islands and National Park in Alaminos, Pangasinan covers a land area of 1,884 hectares. It comprised of One Hundred Twenty-three islands of which only three were developed - The Governor's Island (featured in this post), the Quezon Island (to be featured on the next post) and the Children's Island. Here are some more shots taken in the Governor's Island of the Hundred Islands:

Governor's Island Shore. Governor's Island is a twenty-minute boat ride from Lucap. It has a guest house which can accommodate a family. This island is not much fun for swimming but it is has an observation deck which will allow you to have a magnificent view of the rocky and green islands and islets above the blue sea.
Looks like a great place to visit. Great views.
ReplyDeleteit reminds me again of one of the best trips we've had. i like one side of the island and the viewing point.
ReplyDeleteOwww... Grabe. hindi ma-tapostapos ang magagandang views ang Pilipinas. Nababasa ko lang yan at nababalitaan. Hindi ko akalain na ganyan kaganda. Simple lang kasi ang imagination ko. maraming tinatago ang Pilipinas. Salamat ulit.
ReplyDeletesobrang ganda ang lugar n yan..ang pinaka gusto ko nung pumunta kami dyan ay nung sumakay kami ng bangka papunta sa isang isla...ang ganda ng dagat..sobrang green at blue ang kulay..napaka linaw pa ng tubig...=)

@ andrea - thanks. it is indeed a great place to visit with islands just so close to each other.
ReplyDelete@ the dong - the other side is where the cave is located but quite tricky to shoot because of the blinding sun.
ReplyDelete@ belen - tama ka jan nanay, ang daming magagandang lugar sa pinas at ang dami ko pang gustong puntahan.
ReplyDelete@ rio - doc, talagang "find your own island" ang scheme nito eh, you can stay there and do everything freely.
ReplyDelete@ beero - kaya mo puntahan yan. ang daming magagandang lugar sa pinas na masarap at madali lang libutin.

ReplyDeleteHi Oman!! Grabe itong pinost mo. Indeed, it was a great Capones Island journey with you...
ReplyDeleteBtw, the song is "Unwritten" by Natashe Beddingfield is one of the favs, though pang-girl yung song, yet its message applies to everyone especially those who love suprises and venturing into the unknown-like Capones Island.
Sana sa mga susunod na lakad, makasama ka muli namin. If I have available time to travel, sama ako sa mga travels mo. God bless you
Superb blog post, I have book marked this internet site so ideally I’ll see much more on this subject in the foreseeable future!
