The Three Islands named Governor Island, Quezon Island, and Children’s Island were developed for tourists purposes. The islands are actually ancient corals that extend well inland, in an area previously comprising the seabed of an ancient sea. Lowering sea levels have exposed them to the surface and the peculiar “mushroom”-like shapes of some of the islands have been caused by the eroding action of the ocean waves. You can also enjoy activities at Hundred Islands like fun-fishing, sunbathing, jet-skiing, banana boat ride, and bird watching.
