Three kilometres northeast of central Kalibo, on the coast at New Buswang, is one of the most successful community mangrove restoration projects in Southeast Asia. A 1.3 km wooden boardwalk loops out through the swamp, with interpretation signs, viewing platforms, and the chance to see mudskippers, fiddler crabs, and a wide range of estuary birds. Wear repellent.
Allow ninety minutes for the full walk. At low tide the boardwalk runs over exposed mud and the smell of the mangrove is at its strongest; at high tide the trees stand half-submerged and the kayaks make more sense than the boardwalk. Tricycles from central Kalibo are ₱50–80 one way. The little restaurant at the entrance serves fresh seafood and excellent halo-halo.
