Hundred Islands National Park
Located in Alaminos City in Pangasinan province, the Hundred Islands National Park is one of the most iconic natural attractions in the Philippines and the crown jewel of Pangasinan tourist spots.
This protected area is home to 124 islands (123 at high tide) scattered across the emerald waters of the Lingayen Gulf. Each island offers its own charm—ranging from powdery white sand beaches to limestone cliffs and vibrant coral gardens—making it a paradise for beach lovers, island hoppers, and nature enthusiasts.
The park is best explored through a Hundred Islands Tour, where visitors can hop from one island to another, swim in turquoise waters, snorkel among colorful marine life, and take in breathtaking views from island viewpoints.
What to Expect During Your Visit
The most developed and visited islands include Governor’s Island, which features a viewing deck overlooking the archipelago; Quezon Island, known for its picnic huts and zipline; and Children’s Island, perfect for families with kids due to its shallow waters. Other notable stops include Pilgrimage Island, with its massive statue of Christ the Savior, and Cuenco Island, known for its cave and quiet beach.
Whether you’re relaxing on the sand, cliff diving, kayaking, or trekking to scenic spots, a Hundred Islands Tour provides a variety of experiences for all types of travelers.
Plan Your Trip
The best time to visit is during the dry season from November to May, when the sea is calm and ideal for island hopping. While visitors can rent boats on-site, it’s also convenient to book guided Pangasinan tours in advance to enjoy a seamless trip, including boat transfers, lunch, and entrance fees.
Many travelers combine a visit to Hundred Islands with other top attractions in the region, such as Bolinao Falls, Cape Bolinao Lighthouse, or a pilgrimage to the Our Lady of Manaoag Church, all commonly included in comprehensive Pangasinan tours.
