*It's more fun in Batbatan


 The Batbatan Island is located in Culasi, Antique. Home of the ethnic people called "TANGAYS".
   This Island has a rich biodiversity underwater such as Coral reefs, and exotic tropical animals. Above ground with colorful endemic wild birds and everything in between the coral cliffs that submerge in clear sea water and the creatures that live there.

   Natural coves or a small sheltered bay or inlet in the body of water. You can do a lot of activities  such as; sun-bating in a white sand beaches, a shifting sand bar for relaxation, whale shark watching, hiking, mountain climbing, and kite boarding for adventure. The old watch tower. the ruins and the legends that persisted to exist throughout ages.

Malalison (Mararison) Island

         
    An island just 15 (fifth-teen)  minutes away from the coastal of Culasi
 Malalison (Mararison) island could be reach through assessed of the fishing boats or motorboats.







   When you reached the island, I believe that you will feel EXCITEMENT!. There's a lot of things you can do here in Malalison (Mararison) Island, like enjoying picture taking of views on the island, you can have hiking, but if you are afraid to get dark skin you can stay under the shades of the trees. You can also have boating and fishing, and other activities you want.



 The first time we came to this island, I was so amazed and excited to discover the wonders of Malalison (Mararison) Island. when we came to that island I enjoy the views, we enjoy the different activities like "HIKE AND TREK to NABLAG ISLET". 



You will walk at the rear side of the island and the only option to get at there is to hike the hill. We are so happy and full of joy when we reached the peak of the hill but two of my friends are complaining because they got dark skin cause of intense heat of the sun. But because we enjoy the moment and vacation we do a lot of picture taking with the  background of Mt. Madja-as and the amazing view of the island.

          

The Mt. Madja-as

  Mt. Madja-as is an open slope, mossy forest and have a highest point. And also you could find a lot of trees, birds, and waterfalls. Mt. Madja-as is a the challenging  climbs here in Visayans islands.

  This mountain makes Culasi and Antique a truly rewarding destination for climbing.

Madja-as means 'mataas' in some local dialect, but in English it can suitably described as 'lofty' instead of just tall. This loftiness will definitely be felt in the summit which opens up to the view of Western Panay island and the surrounding seas, but it extends to the mossy forests of the mountain, in which several unique flora and found have been identified.

 

Access is still limited and Madja-as is currently a relative-unexplored peak, but as we get more information we expect that Madjaas' rightful place will be restored.

 To reach this mountain you take a bus from your arrival points in Panay Island Then, After that you take a tricycle or jeep  to jump off the barangay Flores (Brgy. Flores, Culasi, Antique). this barangay will lead you to Mt. Madja-AS.

The mountain's Malay-sounding name has in fact some Malayan origin, tracing its roots from the story of the Ten Bornean Datus and the ancient "Confederation of Madjaas".

      My  blog is all about the undiscovered places or spots here in Culasi. I choose this topic to blog because i want to encourage other people that are looking and planning to to have  their summer and vacations. The reason why I blog this, is to provide and give some helpful information's to those persons who are planning to have an outing... together with their family, friends and love ones.

 





  I believe that "Serenity of a place or destination depends on it's remoteness. Travel time is a great factor that affects decisions of individuals or groups in visiting a certain place. I also believe that "The longer the travel time is the greater and memorable experiences we could made".
