Hotel and Inn Feature: Zipline Inn (Tibiao, Antique)

Zipline Inn

One of the inn's rustic cottages

Zipline Inn, named as such because of the adjacent zipline facility of Tibiao Eco-Adventure Park, consists of 4 bamboo and nipa huts (PhP500), good for two people, with its own private bathroom.

Though spartan with no frills, what sets it apart from other accommodations is its rustic feel. Guests here wake up in the morning with the rushing sound of the Tibiao River and open their windows to the panoramic view of rice fields.

The inn is also the gateway to Tibiao’s many eco-adventure activities – hiking to the aforementioned Bugtong Bato Falls; kayaking at the Tibiao River; zipling and wall climbing at Tibiao Eco-Adventure Park; and popular kawa hot bath at Kayak Inn as well as in Bugtong Bato Falls Inn.

The cottage's spartan but quaint interior

Zipline Inn: Brgy. Tuno, Tibiao, Antique. Mobile numbers: (0920) 499-6903 and (0919) 579-5436.

How To Get There: Tibiao is located 73 kms. from San Jose de Buenavista, 12.6 kms. from Barbaza, 17 kms. from Culasi and 89 kms. from Brgy. Caticlan (Malay, Aklan).
