Hundred Islands National Park is a collection of islands located in the province of Pangasinan in the Philippines. The park comprises 124 islands, with only a few developed for tourism, such as Governor's Island, Quezon Island, and Children's Island. The area is renowned for its iconic mushroom-like limestone formations, shaped by thousands of years of erosion.

Historically, the islands have been a traditional fishing ground for local communities. Today, visitors flock to the park for a range of recreational activities. Kayaking, snorkeling, and boat tours provide unique ways to explore the islands, while some islands offer trails for those who prefer hiking. The park's accessibility and diverse offerings make it a popular destination for nature lovers and adventure seekers.
