Aklan's Nabas Windmill Morning Sidetrip

5 Days Solo DIY Trip to Best White Sand Beaches near Panay Island


This is a side trip on my Panay Island beachbumming road trip, tagged as Bangui Windmill of the South and first windmill farm of Visayas. Presently, there are 18 windmills and will become 25 in soonest time. The 50 megawatt Nabas Wind Farm Project owned by Petrowind Energy Inc. is the first wind energy project located in the upland village of Pawa in Nabas, Aklan. The Nabas wind farm project of Petrowind Energy, Inc. could be a significant tourist attraction in Aklan. 

How to Go to Nabas Windmill Farm;
From Caticlan Port, ride any bus/van that goes to San Jose, Iloilo or Kalibo because as per Panay Island route map in main post, all public transportation will pass through Nabas Municipality. Ask the bus/van conductor to drop-off to Nabas - Unidos Crossing (see photo #2 below). From there, ride a habal-habal (around 5km distance on uphill pave/off road) and ask to bring you to "windmill mountain peak". Roundtrip costs PhP140 on less than an hour travel and photo shoot. Free admission to the area.
