Antique: Malalison Island Tour

After lunch, we didn't do much. 

We just went out for snorkeling despite the weather condition. 

I know it would be best to do it during summer time 

but what can we do? It's -ber months when I decided to visit the Antique.  

Anyway, we can still see something down under right?  

Our ride was very bumpy, like we're in a roller coaster. 

But it was fun.  It's been a while since I had that kind of ride topped with cold breeze and drizzles.   

The feeling was just awesome!

It reminded me of my childhood years. Haha!

What we did at that time? 

First, Kuya Arnold made us see the whole island by going around it. 

It was quick.  

Then we had the snorkeling.  

Antique: Malalison Island

Our journey jumpstarted when we left the Esperanza Hotel in Kalibo, Aklan early in the morning. 

Our destination? 
Malalison (or Mararison to the locals) Island.  
The island, located in the Municipality of Culasi, Antique, is now is now a favorite weekend destination in Panay Island.  It is a hook-shaped island gifted with picturesque mountain ranges (like that of Batanes), abundant coral reefs, carnivorous pitcher plants and of course, a powdered-colored beach. 

How did we get there

We rode a tricycle going to the Ceres Bus Terminal to bring us to San Jose/Culasi.  

I read from the other blogs that from our hotel, one can walk going to the bus terminal

but because they have relocated, one needs to ride a trike to get there. 

No fuss as the fare is only P10/person.  

When we arrived at the terminal, there were no other passengers yet except us. 

Haha!  Lucky! We then have the whole bus for ourselves, huh? 

But as time went by, the bus started filling up. 

  We settled inside as instructed and the conductor gave us bus ticket and paid P110/pax as fare. 

We asked him to drop us off to Culasi as were heading to Malalison Island. 

The bus left past 6 am, and the almost 2-hour journey to Culasi was smooth and dandy. 

From there, we walked straight on the right side passing the plaza and municipal hall. 

In the end, you'll see the port and on your left side is the tourism office. 

*The GPS helped us locate the port and the office. :)
