Motag Living Museum

Valuable place you can visit.
The place was thatI wanted to go the most during this trip, It was the best place during the trip.

It is a beautiful place in one corner of the earth. It is a place where young people and elderly people want to preserve the region, the earth, and old traditions.
There are kind and beautiful people, and beautiful tradition.

Also, I was able to be inspired to live an eco-friendly life in response to the climate crisis.

Thanks for Amy,Perlie,village people and Daywa.

It is the a great stop if you want to experience and learn about the filipino culture before the modernization of Boracay.
The manager Amy is really acomodating and she took care of every detail since the pick up point ( cagban jetty port ) , taking the guests to the musuem and taking us back to the port. The staff is also very kind.
I definitely recommend it.
Please be sure to book at least 1 day in advance. The entrance fee is only 850 php .

It is a very interesting museum. You can experience how the pinoys of the time live and survive. The staff are all nice and friendly. The tourguides answered all our questions. The food is very good and a plus on the lemongrass ginger tea 🥰

This place was amazing. So glad we stumbled across it on trip advisor (it's not highly advertised, but really well reviewed by everyone who's been there, us included). We literally made the trip to the area just to go see this place and it was totally worth it for such a unique and immersive cultural learning experience. As far as we know, it's the only living museum of its kind in the PH, but I really hope this model is adopted elsewhere (here, home, and abroad). Such a great way to learn about and preserve a culture.

Since they do have to prepare so much in advance, like the carabao and rice planting and the food they serve you (delicious btw), and arranging for the elders to come, they do need to know you're coming. Just call or text the number listed on TripAdvisor or here on Google maps (no need to arrange a 'tour' - when we were there the going rate was ₽700 ea and totally worth every piso!). They do a 10am and 2pm every day except Mondays and they can combine groups. We texted the night before for the 10am and another group called while we were there for the 2pm on the same day and both were fine, so they don't seem to need a lot of notice, but they won't be around if they don't have any bookings (and might not have enough supplies if you pop by and join a group that's made a booking), so avoid disappointment and take the moment to text/call before you go.

Bonus: we totally ended up tacking on a Boracay daytrip as a side-trip, "since we were in the area." From the reviews we read, most people do it the other way - stay on Boracay and do a daytrip to get away from the beach and crowds. If you're doing it from Boracay, just hop on any ferry back to Caticlan and get a trike there for your 10am or 2pm booking. The trike drivers all know the way and it shouldn't take more than about an hour total from the port on Boracay, depending on the ferry you choose. No need to fall for any of the 'all inclusive' package scams that overcharge. Either arrange for the trike driver to come back and get you in about 2hours or take the lovely walk down to the main road and flag the next one going your way

Amazing tour with amazing people. They explain you how they were living before traditionally. It's really good and authentic to see. That's a must if you go to bora. Text them on fb or whatsap

It was an amazing experience and a very hands on look into the traditional culture of that area. My daughters and I learned so much and had a much needed break from the overcrowded beaches of Boracay. The museum supports worthy causes such as preserving traditional village culture and helping the elders of the community earn their own income. You can contact Motag Living Museum through Facebook to schedule a visit.

Great place to learn the culture and traditions of the local Philippine people.

Amazing place with beautiful people! It was so interesting! Thank you 🙏

It was a fun experience going back in time. And the fact that the museum is not only fun and educational, it is also giving jobs to the local elder of Brgy. Motag. We had fun with it, Thank you Amy and her sister (i forgot her name) for being our guide. <3

Great experience! Genuine and informative. Definitely not a typical tourist attraction.

Motag Living Museum is an educational, interactive and fun experience that adjusts your perspective on the privileges of the modern age. The people here are full of kindness, humility and happiness. It is a worthwhile experience. The cost was 700 php per person. We paid 100 php for a tricycle from the Caticlan Port. This place runs on donations and your money will be put to good use.

Really enjoyed this place. Highly recommend visiting this place before or after Boracay.

近代化される（スペイン到達以後）以前の生活を、野外博物館として保存してある場所。
基本的にはタクシーなどでないといけない場所なので、ちゃんと計画していくのが良いでしょう。また、事前予約も必要。メール送ったら、ちゃんと返事が来ます。でもあんまり急だと、対応できないかもしれません。
その時の人数にもよるでしょうが、基本的には少人数でゆっくり近代化する前のフィリピンの様子を教えてくれます。
当然ですが、英語です。難しいということもないでしょうから、ボラカイ島に行く帰りにでも行くのがいいと思います。

非常值得參觀的一個博物館，到長灘島千萬不要錯過。可以跟my boracay guide預定行程，價格為1200菲律賓披索，包含飯店接送至港口，港口至Aklan的船票，港口至博物館來回、參觀以及導覽的費用，非常划算。參觀完畢之後對於菲律賓的傳統文化、居住飲食、務農方式能更了解，喜歡深度旅遊的人一定要來看看。
