Seafoods of Capiz

The STAR also joined the inaugural trip of the Panay River Cruise, the new tourist attraction of Roxas. The relaxing cruise onboard bamboo rafts pulled by motored banca passed through six barangays before winding up at the back of the plaza.

On the way there, what welcomed us were scenic views of mangroves and the silhouette of hills. The riverbanks were also lined with multi-color bougainvilleas. One impressed VIP guest had to comment it was the most underrated river cruise.

There were also docking areas with vendors selling goods, fruits and souvenir items. The cruise would also drop by the fisherman’s village in Barangay Libas where guests get a feel and look at the fisherfolk’s lifestyle, the fish cages and cultured oysters.
