Aklan is known and famous for their white sand beaches that hosts thousands of tourists all year round. But wait, Aklan still has much to offer. From their Bakhawan Eco-Tourism Park, to the women of Pina Village, to the rich culture and history of  Museo it Akean and not to forget, their ever famous Aklan Freedom Shrine, it will surely be a day full of adventure, and an experience Aklanons has to offer.

This project started around 1996 that from 17 hectares grew to 100 hectares of mangrove. From this, different kind of animals and species lived in this protected area that served as a perfect spawning ground to crabs, birds, fish and different kinds of seashells alike. This mangrove had also protected the people from the big waves from the sea, prevents soil erosion, and water during high tides and storms that come their way.

Mangroves such as Nipa, Pagatpat, Piyapi and Bakhawan sprung in this park that benefits from the brackish water of Aklan River and the Sibuyan Sea. Because of the success of this project and abundant wildlife, researchers and students from across the globe came to this park all year round.

Aside from the fact that one can enjoy and experience to plant a mangrove in this park, during high tide, enjoying a boat ride is also offered to locals and tourists alike. Enjoy a 15 minute eco-walk built from bamboos stretching through the mangroves and out to a beach where one can enjoy a picnic or just glaze around the clear waters of the sea. Finding a Tamilok (wood worm) is also an experience for which the locals are fond of.  Simply dip the Tamilok in vinegar before eating it is one of the best ways to eat it.
