For this year’s holy week vacation, me and my family went for a road trip in norther Luzon and our first stop was in Hundred Islands National Park in Alaminos, Pangasinan.
There’s around 124 islands scattered along Lingayen Gulf (123 when high tide), and is a well-known tourist attraction. Travel time will take 4 hours by land with a private vehicle and 5-6 if you’ll take public transportation. From Manila, take the North Luzon Expressway and exit at Dau toll plaza, the last toll gate in NLEX then take the Subic-Clark-Tarlac Expressway. From SCTEX, take the Hacienda Luisita in Tarlac. From Tarlac, take Camiling passing thru towns of Mangatarem, Lingayen, Labrador and Sual before hitting Alaminos. When you’re in Alaminos, go to Lucap Wharf where you can find boats that bring tourists to the islands.
Make sure to check the tourism office in Lucap Wharf where you have to pay for fees and it’s also the place where you can ask for boats to hire. The tourism department is well organized that they regulate boat rentals and other things such as picnic table rentals, swimming gears and more.
