Pangasinan Attractions: Hundred Islands National Park


For a province that has so much to offer, from breathtaking beaches, crave-worthy food, and historical significance, it is difficult to imagine Pangasinan without its famous Hundred Islands National Park. 

Famous in the ’70s and 80’s, destroyed by dynamite fishing and went through a slump in the ’90s and re-emerged with a major facelift and aggressive transformation in the 2000s, The Hundred Islands National Park has seen tourists coming back in droves, not just from the country but from many parts of the world.

Gone are the lousy straw huts, dirty island bathrooms and disorganized boat assignments. These have been replaced by world-class, concrete cabanas, a massively organized tourism administration, a beautiful boardwalk and tons of exciting modern activities that make it the jewel of all Pangasinan travel destinations.

Check out the awesome pictures below.

From the start, you will be greeted by a beautiful park

And a pleasant boardwalk

Where you can see boats waiting to take you to the islands

There is even a relaxing koi garden

Various activities await the adventurous traveler. Banana boat rides...

Jet skis

After a fun swim, rest in one of the solid concrete cabanas 

The various developed islands have gone a world-class facelift and makeover

It has become safe enough to pitch a tent and spend the night

Calm and pristine lagoons are waiting at every corner

While in many others white sand beaches and turqouise blue waters invite for a cool swim

Before heading home, drop by the caves for a selfie with the stalactite and stalagmite formations
