Hundred Islands, Pangasinan Photo Diary

Straight out of a postcard: hundred islands of Pangasinan. Another university trip. (Yeah, I think our batch kind of spend too much time on vacay slash school trips. Haha.) These is another photo dump of amazing shots I've gathered in these really beautiful splotches of islands.

It was an amazing trip. My friends and I had the perfect blast of summer spending into the waters of Pangasinan.

We have to trudge into the shallow waters to pass through. The tour guides warned us of jellyfish so be sure your have your slippers or your swim shoes on.

Get ready to stretch you muscles to see the astonishing 360 view of the Hundred Islands.

That an opportunity for jump shots.

So this is a photogenic fail because of the contrasting and such. L-R: Eliza, Charie and me.

This trip is part of our university tour so I have not much say in everything. Thanks to Pinoy Adventurista, I have found top island picks for Hundred Islands.

These are the islands that you should definitely visit!

Virgin Island

Rumored to had been the island where in locals offer virgins as a sacrifice during Hispanic times. It lived up to its name until now where no such thing is currently happening in real life. It has a tunnel-like rocky entrance and underground water at the end.

Century Island

No beach but it has a dome-like cave. It also served as a hiding place on World War II.

Cathedral Island

It has a natural grotto in a very large cave.

Crocodile Island and Turtle Island

It's in the name. It looks like a crocodile chasing a turtle.

Devil's Island

For daredevils, this is the island for you. It is a famous diving spot. This is the island that I regret not coming to the most. Because our boat was one of the last ones out of the shore, the beach area was too crowded to park the boat where we are in so the tour guide skipped it. I was so jealous of the stories that I heard from my other classmates who got the chance to jump on the steep cliffs.

Scout Island

Perfect for beach bumming and diving. It is also well known for its fine white sand.

Marcos Island and Imelda Island

It has the most emerald-colored waters where in you can dive into. It is named after the former Philippine president, Marcos, and his first lady, Imelda.

You can try diving, snorkeling, spelunking and if you're too lazy, just work on your tan and go beach bumming.
