Suyac Island Mangrove Eco-Park

Suyac Island Mangrove Eco-Park is a community-managed eco-tourism site on Suyac Island in Barangay Taba-ao, Sagay City, Negros Occidental. Located within the Sagay Marine Reserve, the 32-hectare island is covered by dense old-growth and reforested mangroves. It is notable for its extensive mangrove forest, wooden boardwalks, and sustainable tourism model operated by local fisherfolk, offering education on coastal ecosystem conservation.

Visitors can expect a small mangrove-covered island accessible only by boat from the jump-off point in Barangay Old Sagay or Taba-ao. The park features wooden boardwalks and trails through dense mangroves, stilt cottages and picnic huts over water, a visitor center, and viewing areas for birdwatching and photography. The environment is tranquil and natural, with opportunities for guided mangrove tours, kayaking, swimming in designated areas, and observing local fishing community life.
