Marcos Island is definitely an island not to miss in the Hundred Islands and is the home of the Imelda Cave and has amazing views from the helicopter pad. It is an idyllic destination for couples as the helipad provides a base for a picnic with panoramic views and cool breezes.

We landed on Marcos Island at 12:15PM from Quezon Island a short bangka ride away. Immediately once we disembarked we noticed that the sand was significantly finer than Quezon Island and could have been a good swimming beach but the beach front was only 300 meters.

It was a 7 minute hike up the path to the Imelda Cave. Very steep staircase before reaching the jump-off point. We have read that some people actually take the plunge but considering there was only a small worn out rope to get back up we decided against this. It may have been an option at high tide though.

Hundreds of bats lined the ceiling. We then proceeded to the cemented helipad just a short two minute stroll from the Imelda Cave.

This would be a good place to relax on Marcos Island due to the elevation and scenic views. Also if you packed a quick snack, this would be the best place to camp on the island. As we were travelling light, we decided to just have lunch back at Maxine by the Sea in Lucap, Alaminos.

In our next post we will share with you our amazing lunch at Maxine by the Sea, please click here.
