Guimaras is famous for the export-quality sweet mangoes, its fine white sand at Alubihod, the picturesque view at the beach, and the Guisi Lighthouse.
How to get there?
->From Manila to Guimaras
Book a direct flight to Ilo-Ilo, take a jeep or taxi going to Ortiz Wharf, then ride a 15-minute boat ride going to Jordan Wharf, Guimaras.
In our case, we traveled from Bacolod since we planned to visit 3 cities: Bacolod, Guimaras, and Ilo-Ilo. During our first day in Bacolod, we went to 2go SM Bacolod branch to get our ferry tickets going to Ilo-Ilo.
Expenses (each):
SuperCat 2g0 (Bacolod-IloIlo) : P250.00
Ortiz Wharf (IloIlo-Guimaras): P 14.00
Reminder: If you are going for a day tour, check the time of the last boat ride.
Where to stay?
We took a day tour of Guimaras, though there are several resorts where you can stay overnight if you want to extend your visit. One of the most popular options is Raymen Beach Resort, and I highly recommend it. Located in Alubihod, Nueva Valencia, it's a great spot for a relaxing beach day. The entrance fee for a day tour is just P25.00, making it an affordable and enjoyable stop during your Guimaras trip.

PLACES WE HAVE VISITED IN GUIMARAS (DAY TOUR ONLY)
1. RAYMEN BEACH RESORT (ISLAND HOPPING)
Baras Cave
Lamurawan Beach
Snorkelling
I love snorkeling without wearing a vest, even though I don’t actually know how to swim—floating and dog paddling are my go-to moves! Haha. Before I jump off the boat, I always ask, "Manong, are there any sharks here?" I love watching the fish, but I can’t help thinking, "What if a shark suddenly shows up? What would I do?" All I can manage is dog paddling. That's why I usually stick close to the boat, or if I venture farther away, I always make sure to have someone swimming with me. HAHAHAHA
2. CITY TOUR
At the port, there's a travel information office that can assist with planning your itinerary and arranging a tricycle rental. The standard rental fee ranges from P1,200 to P1,500, depending on your destinations. We paid P1,200 for a tricycle to take us around the city. The driver even waited for us at Raymen Beach Resort after our island tour, which made our trip more convenient!
