The Bakhawan Eco-Park spans 220 hectares (540 acres) and is regarded as one of the top tourist destinations in Kalibo.
Among the most successful mangrove reforestation initiatives in Southeast Asia, this eco-park provides a diverse range of outdoor, cultural, and culinary experiences for visitors to relish.
At the heart of the Eco-Park lies a 1.3-kilometre (0.81 mi) bamboo trail that guides visitors deep into the mangrove forest.
This park is a perfect spot for ecotourism, hosting a variety of mangrove tree species and acting as a refuge for numerous bird and marine species.
Additional amenities in the park include a watchtower, a souvenir shop, a canteen, a massage area, charcoal briquetting facilities, picnic huts, and a Center for International Mangrove Studies.
Nestled by the Aklan River in Kalibo, the Bakhawan mangrove forest is just a quick 10-minute drive from Kalibo International Airport.
Visitors can buy tickets directly at the entrance of the park.
