Boracay: Motag Living Museum Guided Tour

Experience rural life at the Motag Living Museum near Boracay. Watch locals plow rice fields, weave mats, and cook in clay pots as part of a guided tour.
Immerse yourself in the rich history of the Philippines with a visit to the Motag Living Museum, the first interactive living museum in the country. Located in Barangay Motag, Malay, Aklan, just a short boat and drive from Boracay's Caticlan port, this museum offers a unique, hands-on experience of rural life as it was over a century ago.

Upon arrival, be welcomed into a traditional Bahay Kubo made of bamboo and nipa, setting the tone for a journey back in time. Unlike conventional museums, the exhibits here are not behind glass—they're alive. Local elders and community members, dressed in traditional garb, go about daily tasks such as plowing rice fields with carabaos, pounding grains, weaving buri-palm mats and baskets, cooking in clay pots over wood fires, and rolling tobacco cigars—all in real time, as part of a guided experience.

Engage with the community and learn about their customs, traditions, and way of life. This immersive experience offers a rare glimpse into the past, allowing you to connect with the rich cultural heritage of the Philippines in a meaningful way.
