The park consists of different geological rock formations in distinct sizes and shapes. The park lies at the heart of Sibuyan Island, which is one of the seven provinces of the Romblon Province. The park is a famous destination for mountaineering. The primary forest of the park covers 14,000 hectares and is fully protected.

The park is well- known for its outstanding scenic beauty and mostly is covered with mangrove forest, though montane forest, and mossy forest also make an appearance. The park is home to about 54 endemic plant varieties. The fauna includes four species of rodents and a kind of bat that is found nowhere else in the world.
