Question :
Hello, Is it possible to do diving at hundred islands. Is there a diving scholl or divinge resort where i can rent the dicing equipment. Regards, Pascal

Answer :
Currently, there are no diving rental centers in the Park. The Hundred Islands Ocean Sports Center (075-551-2246), a private shop, at Brgy.Lucap,offers gears for snorkeling, parasailing, kayaking, etc.,but it has no diving equipment or tanks for rent yet. The Hundred Islands National Park Welcome Center (075-551-2505),can arrange for tanks and a guide, but guests would have to bring other equipment. You can contact them and ask for Mr.Rey Livara.

Question :
are there any hotels that are near the beach? so that we dont need to cross the sea.

Answer :
Currently, there are no hotels/lodges/inns in any of the islands in the Park. Only Governor`s Island has a fixed structure - the PBB House (good for 8 to 10 pax, with kitchen, at 10,000 per night, powered by a generator).Reservations for the PBB house and cottages in Quezon island, are made through the Welcome Center at Lucap Wharf, you can contact them at (075) 551-2505.

Most of the hotels/lodges are either located on or near the Lucap Wharf, where boats bound for the islands start ferrying tourists to the islands at 6 am.The major islands - Quezon,Children`s, Governor`s - are all a 20 to 30 minute boat ride from the Wharf. Room rates for 3 to 6 at hotels/lodges near the wharf range from Php 1800 to Php 4000 per night, some of the resorts only include breakfast in the room rate.
