Quezon
Island - One of the well-developed and most frequented
islands in the Park, it has facilities which include 2 dining
pavilions, and grilling area, where you and your family can
do the eating and the grilling ;cottages and nipa huts for
relaxation and restrooms that assure comfort. Lie in the sand,
take in the salty breeze and savor the delectable seafood
and swim to your heart`s content. Don`t pass up the chance
to snorkel or dive in the island`s azure waters and see its
thriving coral and giant clam garden.
Martha island - It looks
like a tiny twin island from afar but as one draws near, a
small strip of white sand beach connecting two different islands
will eventually be seen. A long stretch of rock formations
characterizes the real Martha Island while its sister is called
Ramos Island. Tourists who want to stay away from the sun
for a while can take refuge from the rock formations. And
they can enjoy spending their leisure time, sunbathing, swimming
etc., crossing to and fro the two islands.
Governors
Island - The island that captured Pinoy Big Brother`s
eye, and turned its guest house into a unique PBB home which
can accommodate 8 to 10 people, ideal for family and barkada
relaxation, with bedrooms, restroom / bathroom, working kitchen,
dining room and living room, furnished with colorful furnitures
and linens, ceiling fans and other amenities. It`s also the
largest island in the Park, boasting sweeping views of the
Park from its view decks and has a small cave, which though
has no notable stone formations, is home to bats and swiftlets.
Its fine stretch of sand is ideal for sunbathing and its waters
make an ideal spot for swimming, kayaking and snorkeling.
Century Island - Cave enthusiasts
or freestyle hikers can venture its huge domed cave, which
is a welcoming nesting place for bats and an underground haven
of rock formations. It has no beachfront, giving it the mildly
challenging potential as an exploration site for people who
want to sample an educational and cultural adventure.
Childrens
Island - Its an island famed for its features ideal
for family get-togethers, especially with children. Its waters
near the beach are shallow enough for little kids to practice
their budding swimming skills. Adults will have to swim a
little further to stretch their limbs. With wooden cottages
(with beddings), floating picnic shed, restrooms, tent rentals,
camping, cooking and dining areas and amenities like linens
and lighting – it`s indeed an oasis for single, family
and big group vacationers. Panoramic views also await you
as you snake around the island’s walkways and rock ladders
leading to higher ground.
Lopez Island - A sunbathing
heaven with its white fine sand and sparsely covered limestone.Add
to that the exhilarating atmosphere that welcomes both the
daredevil and the fun guru in you. Indulge in adventure on
or under the island`s surrounding water. You can immerse yourself
to a relaxing snorkel or you can engage in a kayak challenge
with friends. Then, camp late and enjoy a starry night, chatting
or simply idling till the wee hours of the evening.
Marcos
Island - Near Quezon Island and anchored in front
of Old Scout Island, is a one of a kind handiwork of nature,
named after the former President Ferdinand Marcos. It has
three mounds, a helipad and a dose of artfully sculpted mermaid
statues. You can clamber the steep, jagged rock pathways around
the island, leading to its many vantage points where a different,
picturesque view of the shorelines and other islands greets
your eye, uniquely captured by the sun at different hours.
But the sweet dessert to your visit would
be a walk at the 50 meter-trail that ends in a 70-feet drop
leading to the cave named for the former President`s better
half, Imelda.The single- chambered cave is about 18, 916 sq.
m.,rising about 8 meters from the water surface and is a haven
for edible-nest swiftlets and insectivorous bats.It`s also
accessible by kayak or a daring swim, if one intends to approach
its cove from below.
