Island Hopping in Guimaras: Experiencing the Spectacular ViewPosted by Ada on Category: Guimaras, Visayas | 61 Comments |
This is the second part of our day trip travel to Guimaras, the island hopping experience.

We availed the Island Hopping tour at Raymen’s Beach Resort. The tour costs P400 ($10) for the first hour and P150 ($4) for succeeding hour. If you’re on a tight budget, I recommend you to travel in group to divide the cost of this tour.
When we hopped on the boat, our tour guide suggested the must-experience places in our island hopping tour. Due to excitedness, we just told Kuya to bring us to wherever that must-experience places are. Locals know better!!! (Not applicable to some places).
So, he and the two other boatmen then introduced us the Lawi Marine Turtle Rescue Center as our first stop. This is one my favorite spots where I got the chance to lift a pawikan (sea turtle). I took extra care to avoid dropping her. Remember, we are in a rescue center and not harming center.
It’s quite scary at first as she’s big, heavy, and was trying to swim in the air making it hard to grab her shell. I have to mention that any amount of donation is accepted in this center to help rescue more sea turtles. Continue reading »

Day Trip Travel to Guimaras (A Side Trip from Iloilo City)Posted by Ada on Category: Guimaras, Visayas | 50 Comments |
I’ve known Guimaras for its sweet mangoes. A friend of mine occasionally goes there for relaxation and unload the heavy feelings in this busy place. She always tells me I should go there some time but I once told her, ‘anu na naman gagawin ko dun?’ (what the hell am I gonna do there?) LOL, I broke her emo moments, I didn’t know Guimaras is such a beautiful place that time.
Where in Guimaras?
Searching from Google, “Guimaras is an exotic island province blessed with picturesque beaches, flass, springs, and offshore islates, which attracts both foreign and domestic visitors.” – Guimaras Tourism
From Iloilo City harbor, we took a 15-minute pump boat ride going to Jordan Wharf, Guimaras. A pump boat ride costs P13 (around $0.35 or less). Thanks to Marcos for the instructions!
Right after we stepped out of the boat, we saw their Tourism Office. We signed up their logbook which I think for the purpose of recording the number of tourists visiting Guimaras. The office also holds all the information about Guimaras including, guide maps, contact to all Guimaras Travel and Tours, beach resorts, etc. but we chose to have our own itinerary as we were on a tight budget. So, we took the guide map and hired a tricycle driver who happened to be our tour guide as well. Continue reading »
