Eat and Run
Philippine’s food and travel blog.
Our first stop during our island hopping tour was in Quezon Island, named after the late President Manuel Quezon. He proclaimed that the area will be the first National Park in the Philippines on Jan. 18, 1940, because of this the biggest island is named after him. If you haven’t read the first part of this post, you can view it here.
This island is not only the biggest but also the most crowded, there were atleast 150 people when we were there. Visitors can cook and eat lunch in one of the picnic tables in the pavillion. There is also a small store where you can buy some snacks and drinks, but its still better to bring your own since its a bit pricey.
Aside from eating and swimming, visitors can also rent kayaks which is offered for 250pesos.
Unfortunately for us, there are no available picnic table and they don’t allow guests to have a picnic on the sand, so we just waited for our boat to arrive and decided to eat our lunch on the next island. But they failed to pick us at 1:30PM without any notice; apparently because our boat was damaged by the sharp rocks while docking.
While stuck in the island, starving because we haven’t eaten our lunch, some of us had fun taking pictures in this breath-taking scenery. I sure did, as most of the first photographs that I can be truly proud off, was captured here.
Fortunately, another boat man agreed to take us back to wharf around 3:30PM, disappointed.. yet a lot better than sitting in the sand with the blistering heat of the sun.

The question is how do we get to Alaminos or the Hundred Island resort. What province in the Philippines.
It sure is a bad publicity to go on an Island and not being picked up by a pre arranged boat.
Don’t they have organized tourism agencies in that area?
It was interesting to know about the Island but there’s is just not enough direction. Promote tourism by training people to keep their date is a good start.

Hi Geri, I posted a map in the first part of this series at http://www.eatandrun.com.ph/travel/hundred-islands-national-park-series/ , Alaminos is in the province of Pangasinan which is north of Manila.
They have an organized tourism agency which helped us get another boat. They tried to reach our boatman by calling the dock but he’s nowhere to be found. Apparently, while we’re docking in Quezon Island the boat hit a sharp rock which damaged the boat. They tried to fix it but they were not able to get back in time. We saw how the boatmen value the tourists and each other. The boatman who picked us, insisted that we pay the first boatman in full and charge him of his fuel expense.
I hope you read through the rest of this series to get enough information, you can also leave a comment if you have any question.

That is such a great source which you are providing and also you have apart for free. I love seeing internet websites which see the price of delivering a high quality resource at no cost. It is the outdated what encircles appears regimen. Do you acquired a lot of links i discover a lot of trackbacks??
