Tibiao River
Two hours away from the famous Boracay is a quiet town of Tibiao, a fourth
class municipality in the heart of the province of Antique. this town may not
be a popular tourist destination but it has surprisingly something to offer
with its unspoiled and panoramic beauty.
Another Boracay attraction is the Tibiao Whitewater River
rising near the peak of Mt. Madja-as, the Tibiao River descends almost 2000m on
its short but tumultuous journey to the sea. The lower section of the river,
known as the "Chicken Run", is grade 3; the more difficult upper
section reaches grade 4. The Tibiao River is a sought after attraction because
it has all the classic features of a tropical whitewater river, with rich
vegetation hemming the banks, views of rice terraces, spectacular falls and
clear water. See
the a seven-tiered waterfalls called Bugtong Bato, feel the rapids of the
Tibiao River, soak in the hot kawa tub, commune with the rain forest of Barangay
Tigbaboy, swim in the white sand beach of Seco Point and witness its rich
marine life. Tibiao is more than just a Boracay sidetrip, discover this place
and experience the uniqueness of the town that is distinctly Tibiao.
Mount
Luho
This
is the most impressive viewpoint and the highest elevation (100 meters above
the sea) on Boracay Island. It’s not an easy climb but the view above Mount
Luho is worth it. The best way going there is to hike or take your mountain
bike up and steep road going north from Barangay Bulabog, on the Eastern side
of Boracay Island. Leaving Bulabog Village, you will reach a much quieter world
with only the chirps of birds and occasional distant banca. Continuing north, a
sign on the road will tell you where to pay a small entrance fee and begin your
climb to the panoramic view of Boracay Island.
Willy's Rock in Boracay
Situated
one hundred meters off shore, in the shallow water near Boat Station 1, Willy's Rock is a castle-like volcanic
formation that dominates the seascape along White Beach. Facing the beach are
stairs leading to a chapel at the top, which contains a statue of the Virgin Mary. Willy's Rock is the most
photographed landmark on Boracay and offers a commanding view of the island. On
the distant horizon, Naasog Point
on Panay Island can be seen.
This is a fascinating natural formation and It is located just off the east
coast beach. The small island is completely undercut by the sea and the top
overhangs the recessed base. Between Boracay
Rock and Little Boracay Rocks,
shells, corals and starfish abound, making it favorite fossicking spot for the
local resident.
Bat and Crystal Caves
BAT CAVE
Bat Cave, located on the northern tip
of the island is probably the most visited. As the name implies, this cave is
home to bats some of which have wingspan of almost four feet
Bat Cave’s Entrance
Nests of bats at the Bat
Cave
CRYSTAL CAVE
Crystal Cave is just a few minutes walk
from the Bat Cave. This one is bigger and much easier to navigate because the
rocks here are not that sharp although more slippery. This cave got its name
because the rocks here glisten when you point your flashlight on its beautiful
formations. The view from inside the cave is just amazing and you can use your
imagination while musing at the various shapes of stalactites and stalagmites
located therein.
.
Crystal Cove Island
Crystal
Cove Island is a beautiful, secluded small island located between Caticlan and Boracay.
This two hectare island is found upon solid rock, a gallery of haunting niches
and sea caves bordered by crystal - green waters. The sight of this pristine
sea immediately calls to your innate thirst for things tropical, and as soon as
you get there, the right thing to do is just plunge right away and bask with
abandon. Other than the native huts and some islands statues, the main draw in
this place is its two caves. Cave One features smooths rocks and a refreshing
pool that opens-up to the sea. Cave Two features a small tunnel which you have
to pass to see the coral shores which also lead to the open sea. Entrance fee
on the place is only Php 100.00.
