BOLINAO + HUNDRED ISLANDS

Good for weekend getaways. Stunning views but there’s still a lot of things to improve especially with the activities that you can do there.

Hundred Islands - the view of its teal waters and scattered islands and islets is definitely breathtaking. However, there’s nothing much interesting to do on the islands. Snorkeling site is not that good and much of the payables are overpriced. Lots of unnecessary man-made structures on the islands too.

Enchanted River - looks cool but it’s small. It can get crowded easily. Entrance fee isn’t that worth it.

Patar Beach - sand is golden brown and powdery. Its blue waters are really inviting. Great looking beach. Don’t miss the stall that sells mango graham shake 😉

Bolinao Falls - again, great view! No long hike required.

Hope that helps! Plan your trip accordingly so you get to spend most of your time in the places that you like the most 😊

📣 Minalungao National Park is now OPEN 📣

The place is best suited for a laid-back weekend with family or a quick getaway breather. But if you’re the type who loves extreme outdoor activities and all the thrill that comes with it, Minalungao can be a bit underwhelming.

I tend to create exhausting and adventure-packed itineraries when I travel so taking some time to relax amidst nature was a welcomed change. It's also worth considering just as a side trip if you happen to be traveling up north because spending a full day here might be too much.

During our visit, the recent rainfall left the river looking a bit muddy. Nevertheless, we embraced the natural conditions and still found enjoyment in our surroundings, especially while dining by the river and admiring the rock formations.

While the park may appear grandiose in photos, the reality is a bit more modest. Activities include swimming in the river, cliff jumping, exploring a small cave, and hiking up 1000 steps to reach a view deck. The summit doesn't offer much, but if you’re up for the challenge, the paved pathway is very accessible. Renting life vests is an option if you prefer a leisurely float along the river.

Registration is 100 pesos while environmental fee is 75 pesos per person. Discounts are available for senior citizens and children. There's an alternate route with free entrance, but it involves a steep off-road journey. Some travelers opt to pay for a raft to transport their motorcycles across the river, to avoid taking the same dangerous route when they return home.

I hope I was able to help you set your expectations of the place to ensure it fits your travel’s purpose 🙂
