I Love Capiz Signage at Talon Adventure Park in Roxas City

Photo ops at the big signage "HEART CAPIZ" at Talon Adventure Park in Roxas City makes my vacation fulfilling and enjoyable day with college friends.

Zipline at Talon Adventure Park in Roxas City, Capiz

Talon Adventure park is the newest tourist attraction in Capiz which provide extreme sports adventure.  My nephew and I was able to try their new facilities for Php 100 pesos/person with a minimum speed of 60km/hr as you soar up to estimated 100 feet off the ground on a scenic view of mountains, plants and trees. I'm really afraid of heights but the staff assured me that this activity is safe. I am nervous at first but when I saw the view at the top it is really worth an experience. It all looked a bit scary at first as the safety standards are available like harness, tie rope, helmet and hip strap. These are some safety measures that needs to be taken care of by the management. This is one you must do and a great adventure experience for a first-timer.  It was a great outdoor experience and the weather was nice and sunny bonding with my college friends. I would recommend this place for families or group of friends. Talon Adventure Park is located at Barangay Talon, Roxas City in Capiz.

Floating Balsa of Ayagao White Beach in Roxas City

We really enjoyed the picnic on balsa (raft bamboo) with built-in tables/chairs and those floating kubos along the crystal blue water as one of the attraction in the place. You can rent them from Php 500-1000 pesos depending on the size and capacity but we haggle it to 300 for a smaller balsa. A good view from our balsa to the shoreline of white sand in Ayagao White Beach. We bring our foods and drinks in the area, something easy to eat that doesn't need to cook and we love to go to the beach. While waiting for other friends to arrived I got to take more photos and swim at the side of our balsa. The water is calm and cold. Swimming just becomes more fun when there are kids around, specially my nephew and college friend's kid. Happy Travel Everyone!

Ayagao White Beach in Roxas City, Capiz

Aside from Olotayan Island covered with white beach sand, one of the newest beach destination of Roxas City is located in  Barangay Talon about 20-30 minutes away from the city proper. I've been waiting for this trip since the beach resort was opened a year ago. The place has a nipa hut cottages ranging for Php 150 to 400 pesos and floating balsa for Php 300 to 1000 pesos. So we choose a smaller balsa that can accommodate 8-10 person.   This is my first time to experience floating balsa with college friends. You can also play volleyball in their beach area, snorkeling and hiking up the mountain at left side of the resort with a good view of long stretch beach area and a blue water. It can be clearly seen during the early morning when  the water is clear and the tide is high. It is a full of natural landscape that a beach lover like me will have to enjoy great scenery and relaxation. On the other hand, some of the fishermen offers island hopping at the nearby island of Ivisan, Capiz ranging Php 600-800 pesos depending on number of persons per boat.
