Discover the rich history and culture of Aklan Province on this Motag Living Museum private tour near Boracay Island.
This unique experience gives you a glimpse of how life was lived in earlier times, making it a meaningful addition to your Boracay Island getaway.
This day tour is perfect for culture enthusiasts, families, and even cruise passengers looking for a short but immersive activity during their stop in Boracay Island.
While most travelers flock to White Beach, this side of Boracay lets you dive deeper into the cultural roots and traditions of Aklan Province, offering an experience that goes beyond the island’s famous powdery shores.
Your private tour includes the guidance of a tour coordinator, interactive activities, traditional snacks, pick-up and drop-off from either the towns of Kalibo or Caticlan, the two main jump-off points for travelers visiting Boracay Island.
For an even smoother journey, you can upgrade with an add-on roundtrip transfer to and from Cagban Jetty Port, an option especially convenient for cruise passengers.
With private arrangements, you can easily customize your pick-up point, whether at the cruise port, jetty port, tender drop-off, or even a beach landing, ensuring no long transfers are needed.
This tour also offers flexible short-duration options that fit cruise schedules, making it stress-free and easy to enjoy.
On the day of your tour, your driver will pick you up from your accommodation in Kalibo or Caticlan towns. If you’re already staying on Boracay Island or arriving as a cruise passenger, you can easily upgrade your tour to include roundtrip transfers from Cagban Jetty Port for smooth and hassle-free travel to Aklan Province.
After a seamless pick-up, you’ll then make your way to the Motag Living Museum.
The museum is not like a typical gallery, it’s more of a living theater. Here, you’ll travel back in time and immerse yourself in the everyday life of the Malaynons, the locals of Aklan Province.
You will see how traditional farming was done and even try it for yourself by plowing, planting, or pounding rice. You will also explore authentic bamboo houses complete with a water well, a traditional cart, and an outdoor toilet.
This journey will also let you watch local women weave leaves into beautiful handicrafts, and if you’re interested, you can even learn the craft with their guidance. Some of these handmade goods are available for purchase at the museum’s souvenir shop, giving you the chance to bring home a piece of local artistry.
What makes the experience even more special is that most of the performers are elderly members of the community. This is a deliberate choice by the museum to honor and empower the elders by showcasing their wisdom and skills to visitors.
Your tour ends on a heartfelt note with a traditional farewell song sung by the museum’s community members before your driver brings you back to your hotel.
After your visit, you will be taken back to your accommodation, where you can continue exploring Boracay Island, or at the jetty port, where you will continue your shore excursion.
Spend a day at the Motag Living Museum and uncover Aklan Province’s vibrant past with this unforgettable private tour. Check the availability now by choosing a date.
