Antique | Island-hopping Malalison & Kawa Hotbath Experience


From the Bakhawan Eco Park we ride a tricycle to the transport terminal. We boarded a van and alight at the Culasi town plaza in Antique. We ate lunch at the nearby restaurant then we look a boat that will transport us to the Malalison Island.

We haggle and the boatman agreed that well charter the boat for 400 pesos round-trip. He also served us our guide. We trek the grassy hill of the island. It’s similar to the hills of Batanes and the grassy land of Mt. Pulag. 


There is also a sandbar and the sands of the island were powdery white. This island is also a marine sanctuary.


From the island we go back to the mainland and took a tricycle to the next town Tibiao, we alighted at the junction leading to the village were kawa hot-bath is located. It’s late in the afternoon that we decided to check in at Kasa Raya Travellers Inn just beside the national highway. The inn staffs were so accommodating that they allow us to occupy their aircon room and we agreed that we’ll only use fan because were on tight budget. The inn is made of bamboo materials. There is also a free breakfast. The room with private toilet is spacious and clean.


The following day we walked towards Brgy. Importante. We pass by the rice terraces and Tibiao River. We trek up to the waterfalls and have ourselves a kawa hot-bath. Going back to the inn we ride a habal-habal. We packed our things and waited a bus bound to Iloilo.

This is part of my Western Visayas Trip.
