Attack_of_the_boats_2Our 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.
