people said there are 123 islands here, but who really count it.
take bus from manila would take 5 hrs to arrive alaminos station,then u have to take tricycle to beach, tricycle fare is P50 from station to beach.there are some lodges and hotels near the beach, the cheapest one is "sweet and honey".
Some boats are ready for island hopping anytime, one day tour is P1000,it may take u 3 hours, but u can stay on every island longer if you want. You can swim or snorkeling anywhere, any beach, any island.
it's not so necessary to stay there for one night, you can continuous the tour to other places.
San Fernado for surfing ,take about 2.5 hrs from alaminos or going to Baguio or other cities in northern luzon. Taking a van from alaminos to dagupan for transffering to other places is a better way to go.
I went to hundred island with three Taiwanese friends, we took victory liner at Cubao station, the earliest bus is 4:50AM, after island hopping, we went to Baguio by transferring at Dagupan city, from Dagupan to Baguio is 2 hours trip.
