My first recommendation is exploring the Hundred Island National Park. The park covers acreage of approximately 1844 hectares.

It has 123 islands at high tide and 124 at low tide, and they are believed to be over 2,000,000,000 years old. Every islet is different from the other offering hundreds of wonder possibilities and new excitements. A marvelous aquatic community of fish, corals, giant clams and others water creatures make the underworld a thrilling vista especially for those who enjoy below surface sports. Truly this is a wonder destination with many myths of its evolution. Anyone who takes the challenge of exploring these alluring secrets of Hundred Island, they are ever fascinated by this magical place.
