Tada! I hope you have a good time looking at the photos while reading through my personal experience :)
First stop, the entrance. The municipality of Alaminos, Pangasinan made a good move in investing to tourism. Not only was the locals given an opportunity for a job, but it also promoted one of the beauties in the Philippines. Colorful flowers decorated the landscape, flower boxes were arranged to border the walkway, seats were posted on the side to accommodate the tired tourists, and of course, coconut trees can't be excluded when you're talking about a relaxing summer time.
But, there are always two sides of the coin. Pass the beautiful entrance that we see, there are dry leaves and nasty garbages tarnishing the sea. It was floating with the boats that were in lieu for costumers.
Leaving the melancholy aside, now it's time for the boat ride.
*Sha la la*
Oooops! Don't forget your life vest. Even if you know how to swim, you don't want to strain your muscles, stranded in the sea, ain't you? It wouldn't hurt to set a little bit of precaution, after all, it is a life we are talking to.
It would take atleast 5-8 minutes of a boat ride before we reach the first stop, the Governor's Island. It was the most popular island because of it's size. The beach there was also magnificent. In here, there are floating rafts that's connected to the nearby island. Be careful not to be swept by the current ! :)
Here's a top view of the magnificent Island that was shot on a pavilion. There are available cottages to rest in, some free but some needs to be rented. Remember to be early to avail some of their free services.
Lastly, there's a Light house that oversees the entirety of the Islands, it was only meters away from the entrance, so feel free to swing by when you have extra time. Too bad, there's a big cave and a cliff on the other islands but we were short of time. Thus, I'm only sharing the first island which I enjoyed the most.
It would be my pleasure if you leave your thoughts below :)
