HOW TO GET THERE: Nearest airport is Iloilo City. Several airlines offer daily flights to Iloilo City. From the airport, proceed to Ortiz Wharf to get on a 15-20 minutes boat ride to Guimaras Island. Boat fare is P14/ way / pax
WHERE WE STAYED: We stayed at California Coral Beach Resort, Alubihod Beach. Their room is big and the hotel is new. Price is P2500 / night / room. (please contact the resort as rates might have changed)
DAY 1 (LAND TOUR)
Normally visitors proceed to do their land tour as soon as they arrive in Jordan Guimaras. The tour can be finished with just half a day. Upon arrival at Jordan Guimaras, visit the Tourism Office for registration and you may request for a driver / tour guide for your tour. You may either take a tricycle P1500 or a multicab P2000 or an aircon-van for P3000. The driver will also bring you to your hotel after the tour.
What you’ll see on the tour :
Guisi Lighthouse Guimaras Windmills/ Holy Family Town proper (Guimaras sign and that mouth-watering mango pizza) Mango Research Center Smallest Plaza Trappist Monastery Museo de Guimaras
We started by 1pm from our hotel in Alubihod and unfortunately we didn’t make it to the last four attractions that I mentioned because we started late and they’re closed by 5pm. Most of our time was spent travelling to Guimaras Windmill. It's really best to do the tour in the morning.
DAY 2 (ISLAND HOPPING TOUR)
We arranged the island hopping tour with our hotel, it costs P500 for the 1st hour and additional P150 for every succeeding hour. I checked with the other resort, and the rates are the same. The islands were not that far from Alubihod and half day tour would be enough as well. It still depend how long you want to stay at every island. We spent about 5 hours in total because we’ve been filming a lot.
What we visited during the island hopping tour:
Turtle Island Nagtago Beach Ave Maria Buho Ramirez Cave Floating Cottage
TOTAL EXPENSES PER PAX BASED ON 2 PAX SHARING (NOT INLCUDING AIRFARE): P5100
Breakdown: Food – less than P200 / meal Island Hopping – P1100 / 5 hours Land Tour: P 1500 / tricycle Hotel – P5000 / 2 nights Tricycle from hotel back to port – P250 Boat to Guimaras vv – P28 / pax
