Hundred Islands National Park is a protected area located in the city of Alminos, in the Pangasian region that lies in the north of the Philippines. The total area covered by the park is 1,844 hectares. The national park includes 124 islands, only three of which have been developed for tourism. These three islands are Quezon Island, Children’s Island, and Governor Island. The islands are dated to be about two million years old and are remnants of ancient corals that extend throughout the area.
The largest island in the national park is Cabarruyan Island. Located in the North West of the Park, Cabarruyan is often referred to as “Mother Island” of the Hundred Islands. The national park also includes the Lucap Bay, which is a tourist zone and marine reserve, administered and handled by the PTA.
The fauna spotted on the land are crab-eating macaque, common palm civet, Dugong, Fraser’s dolphin, Gecko, Monitor Lizard, Sea Turtles, Snakes, and various rodent species.
Visitors to the island are offered several activities. You could spend your time there relaxing and fishing, or take a dip in the water for snorkeling. Or you could wear your explorer’s hat and go spelunking for an off the line and more adventurous tour.
