- The mini batanes you’ll find just a few kilometers from Boracay! It’s Mararison in unexplored Antique province. A great place for a daytrip!

--GETTING THERE-
Going to Mararison it’s best to travel to Culasi first. It’s just a busride away from Kalibo, or Boracay. You can sleep on the mainland of Culasi as we did and easily see the island in one day. Boats cost 750 two ways, so it’s really better to be with a group or join in on people going in the first place!
-WHAT TO SEE IN MARARISON-
There are two main attractions in this mini Batanes:
► The look alike rolling hills
► The sandbar
Both are accessible by foot. It’s a bit of hiking, but not hard or steep! A guide is around 200 pesos.
-WHERE TO SLEEP IN MARARISON-
We slept on the main land in Culasi in Solis Suites. A nice place, with sweet people running it. They were still building it at the time we stayed there.
► Solis Suites:
/ solissuites
There are resorts and homestays on the island (apparently even a lot of homestays!) but I haven’t slept in them. Let me know if you tried one and leave your thoughts on them :D
-WHERE TO EAT IN MARARISON-
We ate along the way in a homestay from Nanai Cristy. Where you’ll see the food when you pass by. It was good food, healthy also! Lots of veggies, loved it!
► Nanai Cristy: / nanaycristyhomestay
On the main land we just ate at the restaurants in Culasi itself. Just burgers or in the canteen. There are a lot of options, also bakeries, so no worries!

Beautiful videography as always, Gretl! Thank you.
Raul Limos thanx 😊😊😊😊
Travel Gretl i was having a goose bump while watching your video. Missing the Philippines alot. I Grew up by the beach, watching you staring at the ocean reminds me of my younger days..
love your vlog.
What a beautiful place, it looks so different compared to your other Philipines videos. We'll keep this place in mind the moment we travel to Asia.
Let's explore ! Bingo with this one again . Great job. Panay island seems very very interesting . Could be my next trip on Philippines . Thks
The scenery was spectacular, video editing was on point. By far one of your best video. Cheers.
I'm literally stunned by it's beauty of the hills and the sand bar too.. 😍
Haha...I was gonna say "Where is Mararison island?"
We locals never get out of our little cocoon. Great capture of the island. Forget Boracay, I don't even want to go back there. I have been looking at that Guimaras island from Fort San Pedro in ILOILO all my life but never step my foot there until a year ago. You're right Yolanda almost flattened us but also put us in the spot for travelers. After that typhoons so many missionaries, volunteers and tourist came. Thanks for your Great Travel. Stay away from Aswang...I heared they have a big "kawa"/pot to cook people in Antique.
That is a beautiful place captured in your beautiful video. I have been to Batanes just recently and I agree with you, Mararison Island, Antique is a mini Batanes. I can't wait to travel again, this time, down south.
The only thing missing is the honesty store.
Haha, yes :D
From Culasi take a 4 hrs boat travel to Sibuyan island, Romblon, please visit Cresta de Gallo east of Mararison island...
Oh my!are you back in Ph? Wow I never knew this place till I saw this.Been traveling around in our country and I will definitely put these into my travel destination list.Enjoy

❤️ ❤️ ❤️
ANTIQUEEEEE!!! KRUHAAAAAYYYY!! WHERE THE MOUNTAINS MEET THE SEA!!
😃😃😃😃😃😍😍😍😍😍
How do you even discover these places? Been here all my life and never heard about this. Your vlogs are just so much more insightful and beautifully edited than all the rest.
Please try visit also NOGAS ISLAND maybe 6hrs drive from mainland
Oola amega😉
0:30 Antique rice terraces. That rice terraces is very similar to Banaue and it was only recently and accidentally discovered or rediscovered by people using google maps, the only people who knew about the rice terraces there was the people who are living there and farming it.

Huge mound of rice for the house lizard. 😊
Try Tambobong beach in Dasol Pangasinan Philippines. They call it little Boracay. Quiet place and not crowded. Or Anawangin cove in Zambales. Its just about 3 hours drive from Manila or 2 hours from Clark airport.
Thanx for the tips!
+Travel Gretl search kaparkan falls in CZcams
got my worst sunburn here because i hiked and spent several hours in the water/under the sun. it was all worth it. btw, the hill was covered by tiny pitcher plants!
Beautiful place to visit and almost no tourist. Gretl how far from Boracay?
1hour
You have beautiful voice
Thanx so much!
Life is good but NOT always.
Not always..?! 😱
how we really wish , prices of your expenses be given, so we can budget our trips to where to go , thanks
Hi! I understand, and I see a lot of DIY Philippines articles - I am sure one of them covered the expenses for this trip as well. :)
That’s because we locals live like locals and we know the secret treasures of our own country. We should not spoil what belongs to our people by giving way to tourism and all its ills.
........howdy Travel Gretl, the island does look like a woman......small but looks really nice...... :)
I wanna build a hut on top of the mountain and live there with the locals.
I don't like it..I just love it!
Yeah :D
Your music choices separates you from other bloggers.
Wow
