Discovering the Hundred Islands in Pangasinan (Departure from Manila and the Lucap Wharf) - Part II

Leave a Comment
The Lucap wharf is filled with merchandize you can buy for souvenir from t-Shirt's, shell necklace and key holders, dead frog skin wallet  and items you can bring to the island like food and water at regular price. Once you'll get to the wharf, many local will approach you offering their Bangka rental and it follows the standard pricing set by the local city tourism, you can ask for discount with the boat owner.

Many children will ask for coins, you can throw the coins to the sea and they will dive for it (just be kind hearted enough not to threw it far away).

CAUTION:  Just be carefull with some of the tricycle drivers, if they will notice that you are not from their place they will charge you almost 150% higher with the prescribed fare table of the city. Just bear in mind that it will only cost you 15 pesos/head going to the city proper or if you are in a hurry you need to pay the cost of the vacant seats that will sum up to 60 pesos (4 person capacity).

(The nearest local airport to Alaminos City is Loakan Airport located at Baguio City which is 72 kms , and the nearest International/Major Airport nearest Alaminos is the Clark International Airport about 159 kms)
