The Lighthouse of Tuwad Island in Ivisan, Capiz

This lighthouse is newly build by the municipal office of Ivisan. About 20 feet high and painted with white color. This is our first time here and I was amazed about the hidden beauty and unspoiled place like this. Upon arriving at Tuwad Island, we took about 2 minutes walk towards the top portion of the lighthouse. There are a lot of cogon grass and an overlooking view of the ocean. I have noticed this the white sand portion in the island and some of the corals are a live too. It is no surprise that we have a lot of lighthouse and nice view of an unspoiled island in our country. Few tourist ventures or come here because it can access by a motorized banca. We meet locals from Ivisan and Roxas City, they just come here because of the clean environment and a clearer blue-water of the place.


Mahabang Pulo Island in Basiao, Ivisan Capiz

As part of your Island Hopping Adventure in Basiao Ivisan, don't miss to check out this island called " Mahabang Pulo", a small portion of white-sand corals and a rock formation around it. This island can be reach through motorized boat. You can hire boat at Basiao/LA Beach Resort ranging from Php 300 -500 depending on number of person/boat. The water is clear and seaweeds scattered all over the place. Overlooking view of Marukol "Gamay" and "Daku" at the side and it was a cloudy morning during our visit that time. The island also have mangroves behind the rocks and it is fun during summer with your friends. For me Basiao & Ivisan, Capiz has a very unique and attractive island and you can see more tourist attraction here.

First Stop of Island Hopping: Marukol Island in Ivisan Capiz

This is Marukol Gamay & Dako Island ( a visayan word which mean "Small & Big") which is one of the great scenic view from Basiao Beach Resort. We took about 5 minutes travel and I was amazed with the rock formation surrounding the island. Did you know that you can walk towards this Island during low tide but it is dangerous for you to take this route because of rocky corals under the water. The water is so clear, trees are surrounded in the area  and corals are too alive. I think it has a great view under the water and I love this little island. Some parts of Ivisan in Capiz is well-known to its white sand beaches, relaxing and beautiful island across Roxas City & nearby Aklan. Experience the beauty of the Island now and best time during Summer together with your family and friends. Our next destination is Mahabang Pulo & the perfect white sand of Mabaay Island or Martilenos Island.

Ivisan Fish Port in the Province of Capiz

Ivisan Fish Port | Basiao, Ivisan in Capiz. Before heading to our island hopping trip, we bought fish, crabs and lobster at their fish port. They are all fresh and a live. The price is so cheap not expensive versus in the market. The town of Ivisan is become the most dynamic port in the region because of the high volume of seafood. My cousin's friend is very helpful and friendly. She also arranged our boat for the island hopping. The boatman uses a big "lambat" for fishing and the water is so clear. Check out my next blog post about our island hopping escapades.

How to Get to Christ the King Redeemer in Ivisan, Capiz

Going to Christ the King Redeemer Statue of Capiz in Barangay Malocloc Norte, Ivisan:

Upon arriving in Roxas City Airport , take a jeepney bound to Pueblo De Panay Terminal (new) where you can find jeepney going to Sapian western part of Capiz or bus/van going to Kalibo and Caticlan. Ask the driver to get you off to Barangay Malocloc Norte and travel time is 30-40 minutes. This is just right part of the national road highway and facing the Church of Sto. Domingo. There is no entrance fee at shrine, just ask the caretaker that you would take photos on it. Best time to visit the place during morning because of the great shot facing the sunset. Happy Trip Everyone - Bisayang Manlalakbay around the Philippines.
