Lunch by the Beach in Mabaay Island in Ivisan, Capiz

Well, this island has a lots of thing to offer you like snorkeling, diving, trekking around the island, fishing, lunch by the beach, swimming and many more. You need to bring your own foods and drinks during your trip. We bought some fish, crabs, lobster and oyster at the fish port before heading to the Island, grilled it in side part of the Island. Most visitors who come here just eat, lie down on the beach, take a swim and then leave. The island filled with tall green trees and cogon grass. We enjoyed our lunch very much and thanks to Kuya who cooked for us. Then after eating, we take a dip into the crystal-clear water and took a lot of photos.

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.
