Candaba is a complex wetland of water ponds, swamps and marshes with surrounding areas of grassland and arable land. The entire area is usually flooded in the wet season and dries out during the dry season.

There are 3 bird watching areas here: Puerto Rivas-Ibaba, known for dried and smoked fish, which has a preserved thick mangrove forest, grassland and wetland areas that serve as favorable roosting grounds for crows, waterhens, rails, kites, doves, herons and egrets; Tortugas- it’s mangroves and mudflat are excellent roosting and feeding grounds for waders and waterbirds such as Wood Sandpiper, Great Egret, Whimbrel, Whiskered Tern, and fishpond and wetlands that have become ideal habitats for various types of migratory and resident birds. While resident birds can be seen all year round, massive numbers of migratory birds specifically flock to the site from September to March. Dinner and overnight in Bataan.
