Panay Island — Capiz Seafood & Fishing Village
About this tour
Roxas City wears the crown as the Seafood Capital of the Philippines, and this full-day food and culture tour dives straight into why. Sitting on the rich waters of the Sibuyan Sea, the Capiz capital overflows with crabs, lobsters, mussels, oysters, and an unmatched variety of fish, much of it landed daily by traditional fishing methods like surambao and pukot. The centrepiece for foodies is the diwal, or angel-wing clam, a sweet, delicate local delicacy that is hard to find anywhere else.
The tour pairs feasting with a glimpse of working coastal life. You can ride a pump boat out to floating fish farms, where bamboo rafts sit above underwater cages of lapu-lapu, abalone, and oysters tended by local fisherfolk. Back on land, Baybay Beach, La Playa de Roxas, stretches three kilometres along the sea with its dark, fine sand and a string of seafood restaurants where your catch is cooked to order. It is the perfect place to wind down with a plate of fresh oysters and grilled fish as the sun sets over the water.
This is a tour built for travellers who eat their way through a destination, blending market-fresh seafood with the authentic rhythm of a Philippine fishing community.

Fronting the Sibuyan Sea, it built its identity around fishing and aquaculture, earning the title Seafood Capital of the Philippines.
