Hundred Islands - Hundred Smile

I went here last year and I have decided to ask my friends to back here again since I wasn't able to visit all of the islands or atleast most of it.

Its a long long bus ride going to Pangasinan yet every hour was worth it! 5hours including 3 stop over and 5-minute tricycle ride from bustop to the house that we rented.

At the Bolinao bustop, there's a long line of tricycle lane for rent, we paid 100 pesos for 4 pax. You may ask then to drop you off at the Market, Jollibee or Mcdo before assisting you in looking for a house.

We stayed at what they called Yellow house - house of the Brgy Captain. It's just five mins away from Lucaf area where all of the boats were dock.

We paid 5k for 1 night 2 days stay. We were in a group of 10. The house is quite big for us. It has 4 rooms, each has its own washroom. The kitchen and dining are big as well. The house could very well accommodate 15people. You may cook your meal. They have utensils and cooking stuff to use, even a water dispenser.

Actually, there's a lot of house/room for rent near the lucaf area. You may also buy your food at the Market and cook it on your house or just buy a home cooked meal on Lucaf area. Food are delish at the Lucaf area!

We rented a boat good for 10 - 1800php, snorkeling gear, crocs footwear, vest for 200php. There's also a 50php environmental fee for each visitor on the island

We went first at Governor's Island, here you could see the other small islands - you just need to hike for 5mins or more.. The view on top is majestic and priceless.

Then to Marcos island.. here, we enjoyed the most! We hiked going to the cave, jumped off the cliff which is almost 20feet high and the dept of the water is like 20feet as well! After that we needed to swim outside the cave to get into the shore, which was so difficult then as the waves were kinda mad and it kept on pushing us against the wall rocks.. scary indeed and twas one hell of experience that I dont want to do again! lols! In fact, my friends want to jump again but noo ooohh! Once is 'nuff! :P

My friend Nina, she jumped facing the water.. ouchie! 

After Marcos island, we went to Quezon Island. There's a lot of vacationers there thats why we weren't able to get a table for us. We ended up eating at the shore! watta experience. I didnt enjoyed the water as well. Quite populated, twas still peak season when we went there so its really expected.

Water is not that blueish anymore compare to what I've seen few years back. Water in Marcos island is a lotta better compare to quezon island.

We checked the Children Island from afar only. We were a bit tired already that's why we didnt ask to dock the boat. We checked out the Cuenco cave. Its a bit stinky and scary but still it's a nice view..

Then to the Bat Island... Its obvious... There's a lot of bats that's why it is called so.. we were just on our boat and quietly we watched the bat while they were sleeping... psssssssttt!

Total Damage is roughly 2k each only for the entire trip group of 10. Not bad!

So if you are on a tight budget and wanted to wander, I would recommend this place.. :) xo!
