When it comes to white sand beaches in the Philippines , the world-famous Boracay Island in Aklan is always at the top of the must-visit list of publications and travelers. But there’s more to the province of Aklan than just the white sand beaches of Boracay. 

More than a gateway to the famed Boracay Island, Aklan province boasts other must-see attractions in the Western Visayas region where Aklan is located. Kalibo is the capital of Aklan, which sits less than 80km from Boracay, as shown in the Aklan map.

Aklan is also home to the colorful Ati-Atihan Festival, an underrated beach, mangrove parks, waterfalls, rivers, and other natural wonders that deserve a spot in your Philippine vacation itinerary . 

The best time to visit the Philippines is all year round, but ideally, Boracay and other Aklan tourist spots are best experienced during the dry season, from December to May. Check out our 2023 calendar with holidays in the Philippines to know the best time to plan your trip.

The main gateway to Aklan from Manila is Kalibo International Airport. Travel time by plane for Manila to Kalibo flights is around 45 minutes. You can book flights to Kalibo via Philippine Airlines , Cebu Pacific Air , and Air Asia .

For domestic flights bound for Boracay airport , the Godofredo P. Ramos Airport or Caticlan Airport in Caticlan is your main jump-off point to the island. While most international flights land at Kalibo Airport, you still need to travel to Caticlan and ride a Boracay airport transfer to Caticlan Jetty Port.

One of the underrated Aklan tourist attractions is the Liktinon White Rocks, an eco-tourism site at the heart of a mountain forest in Madalag, Aklan.

Surrounding the lush landscape are huge boulders with crystal clear waters gushing down from the Aklan River Watershed Forest Reserve, one of the inland tourist spots in Libacao, Aklan. 

To get there, ride a private van transfer from Kalibo, which is 40km away. Afterward, you have to trek the rocky shallows of the Timbaban River.

Aside from island-hopping in the Philippines , you can go sightseeing on your Aklan tour, one of the many things to do in Aklan. You can stroll along the bamboo bridge at Pagatpat Mangrove Park or rest inside the nipa huts with karaoke machines. The mangrove park has access to the sea, where you can dip or soak up your feet.

The Motag Living Museum is another tourist attraction in Aklan worth checking out for history buffs seeking to immerse in the local culture of the Aklanons. Unlike modern museums in the Philippines, the Motag Living Museum is designed with a Bahay Kubo facade and built with bamboo tadtad.

The inspiration for this museum came from the Open Air Museum Ballenberg in Brienz, Switzerland. As such, the Motag Living Museum is the Philippines’ first-ever interactive museum that portrays Aklanon’s local farming practices, such as rice grinding and basket weaving.

The Motag Living Museum. This first-ever interactive museum in the Philippines lets you immerse in the traditional livelihood of Aklanons when the island was the main producer of dried fish, tobacco, kopra, and rice.

Surrounded by lush flora and fauna, the Tigayon Hill and Caves are truly breathtaking. Formerly known as Bukid Tigayon, the Tigayon Hill and Caves are situated at the highest peak of the province, one of the hidden Kalibo Aklan tourist spots. 

According to the locals, the Tigayon Hill served as the former sanctuary of freedom fighters back in the day.  On top of the hill is a small chapel overlooking the panoramic views of the nearby river. If you would like to explore the cave, it will require you to take a rough climb after passing through an arched entrance.

True to its name, “Hurom Hurom” means to dip or submerge. Tourists flock to the spring to enjoy its cold waters during the summer months. Nipa huts are available for rent if you'd want to linger a little longer.

Nabas Wind Farm is perched on the foothills of Baranggay Pawa, Nabas, Aklan. The next time you visit Boracay, be on the lookout for the gigantic wind turbines visible from the White Beach area.

Nabas Wind Farm is part of the sustainable development projects in the province. With the help of Petro Wind Energy Inc. (PWEI), it continues to supply renewable energy to the Visayas Grid and provides electricity to remote households in Aklan since 2015.

To get there, you need to ride a bus or van bound for Kalibo from Caticlan Jetty Port. You can ask the driver to drop you off at the Nabas - Unidos Crossing. Then, ride a habal-habal and traverse the 5km uphill road to the windmill mountain peak.

Aside from secluded beaches, the town of Buruanga in Aklan is also home to natural attractions, including the eco-tourism destination at Hacienda Maria, which is located in Sitio Sapsapon, Brgy. Tigum. 

Getting there will require you to trek two kilometers up a steep mountain. Once you reach the place, you’ll get mesmerized by how enchanting the waterfalls look. Then, take a refreshing dip in the cold waters that are over 10 feet deep.  

Hacienda Maria has two caves with magnificent stalactite and stalagmite formations inside. However, if you're not in the mood to dip in waterfalls outside the caves, you can opt for a hot pot jacuzzi filled with lukewarm water, local limes, and herbal leaves.

5. Ariel’s Point 

Ariel’s Point has three diving planks: five-meter level, eight-meter level, and the highest level is 15 meters high. Lifeguards are ready to assist divers so you’ll be in good hands. Other activities you can try include snorkeling and kayaking.

If you get hungry, you can drop by the restaurant and have some barbecue with free-flowing drinks. The best thing about visiting Ariel’s Point is you can rent a small pump boat and visit other beaches in Buruanga, such as Hinugtan Beach and Naasog Point.

The spring water that pours from the natural pools goes straight into the seven waterfalls. Like the falls in Hacienda Maria, the depth of Jawili Falls is about 10 feet deep. However, unlike other falls in Aklan, this one is kid-friendly with basins where kids can safely take a dip.

Tibiao (Antique): Travel Guide + Day Trip Activities

Tibiao is a place you visit for probinsiya feels. Here you can book a homey cottage on the riverside, do nature activities like kayaking, trekking, and chasing waterfalls, and finally experience the kawa hot bath.

Tibiao is also dubbed as the Eco-Adventure Capital of Panay Island.

Hali and I went here for a day trip when we were backpacking Iloilo and Guimaras . It was actually my favorite part of our vacation — yes, even more so than our island hopping experience in Gigantes Islands . For a traveler like me who loves relaxing and immersing myself in nature, this is the perfect place to be.

Please enable JavaScript

We stayed at Kayak Inn which offers cottages beside Tibiao River. We trekked to see Bugtong Bato Falls and then later on soothed our muscles in the kawa hot bath. Let me tell you, this was a dream came true! We also enjoyed a fitful sleep in the cottage, with the clear night sky visible in our window.

Here’s an Updated Guide to Tibiao in Antique, including day trip activities you can do on your visit.

Via Kalibo or Caticlan

Kalibo Airport is the closest airport to Tibiao. It’s about 2 hours away.

• From Kalibo or Caticlan jetty port, ride a bus bound for Iloilo or Culasi and get off at Tibiao (around P100-200, 1.5-2 hours).
• From the drop-off point, ride a habal-habal (P70 per person) to take you to your selected accommodation.

Iloilo is a bit far from Tibiao. Travel time is around 4-5 hours.

• From Iloilo City, head to Molo Terminal.
• Ride a van (P180 per person, 4 hours) or bus (5 hours) to Tibiao, Antique.
• From the drop-off point, follow same instruction as above.

Day Trip Activities in Tibiao

Here are the best activities in Tibiao you can do in a day:

Tibiao Fish Spa is one of the popular attractions in Tibiao. Here you can have you feet tickled by therafish followed by foot massage.

View this post on Instagram A post shared by Grace Cantones (@gracy601)

Tibiao Museum is an ancestral home where you can find two gigantic pearls. One weighs around 13.75 kilos and the other 24.75 kilos. The pearls are heavily valued at not less than $100 million. More than its monetary value, the pearls are displayed to promote awareness and biodiversity.

Bugtong Bato Falls is a seven-tiered waterfall. Currently, only the first 3 levels are accessible to day trippers. From the third level, it will take another 4 hours to reach the next level and you will need to take a different route in the mountain.

From the registration area, you need to trek for around 30 minutes to reach the first level of Bugtong Bato Falls. On the way, you will pass by lovely rice paddies. Once you reach the first level, the trail gets steep and you will need to climb a steel ladder to reach the upper levels.

The first level is the most ideal place to take a dip. Most tourists stay here. Thankfully it was almost empty so we were able to get some IG-worthy snaps.

We swam at the third level of the waterfall, where the basin is the deepest at 13 meters. The rocks here were slippery so we opted to go barefoot before plunging into the water. It was cool and refreshing.

It was a tiring but worthwhile activity.

The Tibiao River stretches for 30 kilometers in the town of Tibiao. You can go here for a swim, though it’s more popular for adventure activities.

Tibiao River is said to be one of the best white water rivers in the Philippines. In fact, it hosted the first International Kayaking Cup in 1997. If you’re adventurous, hop on a kayak and navigate along the flowing river.

Alternatively, you can ride donut tubes and let the current carry you away. Guides will watch over and help you if you get stuck between boulders.

A kawa is basically a wok made of thick cast iron, large enough to serve as a tub for a person or two. Here in Tibiao, it’s used as an outdoor hot tub.

The kawa is heated for about 30 minutes. Traditionally, spring water is used. Herbal leaves are added to soothe muscles; flowers too if available. Recently, other options on what to use in the bath are added: including beer, milk, salt, coffee, or wine.

Hali and I shared a large kawa. After the day’s activities, we were tired and this was an amazing way to relax. We actually dozed for around an hour and the water stayed warm all throughout our bath.

Enjoying a kawa hot bath is the perfect way to end your day trip in Tibiao.

If time is not an issue, here are other activities you can do in Tibiao

• Pottery making . Learn pottery in Barangay Bandoja.
• Lambaklad fishing . Experience a unique type of fishing in the coastal area.
• Explore Antique Rice Terraces . This is a cluster of rice terraces spread over different barangays. You can go on a tour here to see the rice terraces, mingle with the locals, and sleep in a homestay. The Antique Rice Terraces has been hidden from the tourism unit until it was rediscovered in 2014 .
• Boat trip to Seco Island . Seco Island is a small island located about 3 hours away from the port in Tibiao. It’s famous as an IG-worthy spot due to its sand bar and as a kitesurfing destination.

Here’s a sample 1 day itinerary in Tibiao.

7AM – 9AM Travel from Kalibo to Tibiao 9AM Arrival in Kayak Inn / drop off bags 9:30AM – 11:30AM Trek and swim in Bugtong Bato Falls 11:30AM – 12:30PM Swim in Tibiao River 12:30PM – 1:30PM Lunch 1:30PM – 3PM Kawa hot bath / dress & pack up 3:30PM Drop by Tibiao Bakery for merienda 4PM Homebound

Where to Stay

This is a tourist-favorite accommodation in Barangay Malabor in Tibiao. It’s located beside Tibiao River and it’s the home of the original kawa hot bath. (Today, there are other places in the Philippines that have imitated this, including Rizal.)

Accommodations include native cottages.

Calawag Mountain Resort is owned by the same family as Kayak Inn. It’s located at the higher terrains in Tibiao.

Accommodations include native cottages and the treehouse.

While staying here, you can ask for a boodle flight setup by the river. This is another unique experience as you can eat while your feet gets wet with flowing current.
