Guimaras is home of sweet mangoes, you may want to visit the place during its season. Book early accomodations and airfare during peak or festival season.

There is no direct flight to Guimaras. If youre coming from Manila, take a direct flight to Iloilo. From Iloilo, ride a jeepney or a taxi going to Iloilo City harbor (Ortiz Wharf), and then take a 15-minute pump boat ride going to Jordan Wharf, Guimaras which is the main port of entry in Guimaras.

A pump boat ride costs PHP 14 (around $0.35 or less) as of 2013. Buenavista is another port of entry to Guimaras, although some said its quite expensive to tour around there and not recommended for first timers.

Pump boat schedules [1] Monday to Saturday Iloilo to Guimaras: 7:30 a.m., 9:30 a.m., 2:00 p.m. 4:00 p.m. Guimaras to Iloilo: 8:30 a.m., 10:30 a.m., 3:00 p.m., 5:30 p.m.

Day 1: Welcome to Iloilo Travel to Iloilo City via shuttle vans, PhP50, from the airport all the way to SM City Iloilo. From there one can take taxis or just jeepneys to their hotel of choice.
The historic town of Sta. Barbara is a must visit for it has a lot to offer - a historic century old church and covent, a museum, a heritage zone, the oldest golf course in the country, the only Belgian lace making in the Philippines plus gastronomic offering like baye-baye and traditional puto-bingka and a drinking water that "burns" - all within 10 minutes away to/from the airport

Lapaz batchoy restaurants abound in Iloilo City that almost there is one near you. Teds Oldtimer along Diversion Road is my top pick for it is very touristy and open 24/7. To have an authentic Lapaz batchoy experience, why not drop by the Lapaz Public market and look forNetong's Batchoyan.While there, also look for Madge Coffee for a dose of native Ilonggo coffee Restaurants along Villa beach abound but usually its between Breakthrough and Tatoys Manukan. The former having a very nice ambiance with good food while the latter more iconic food. After which, visit the church and plaza of Villa Arevalo then check out hand woven creations and pasalubong items at the Sinamay House. A must visit in this district is the Camia Balay nga Bato, an ancestral house built in

1860. It is now a living museum with a heritage curios shop and "The Tsokolate Experience".
Then troop to Molo and check out its Gothic church and plaza plus some goodies from Panaderia de Molo. From the plaze, a block away is San Jose Street where a number of ancestral houses line up the street. Downtown tour of Iloilo City would mean a visit to Museo Iloilo, the Capitol grounds and the Arroyo fountain. Walking along Calle Real brings back the nostalgia of Iloilo Citys colonial past alongside iconic restaurants. Plaza Libertad nearby has San Jose church and iconic buildings around. The new Iloilo City hall has a tourist information center known as the City Gallery where the best of Iloilo is showcased. From there, one can ask for assistance in going up the rooftop for a 360 degree view of Iloilo - the river, the heritage buildings and Guimaras. Further, Fort San Pedro offers a closer look at Guimaras and offers a nice view of the sunset. It is now undergoing a restoration but it is on the finishing stage. ( Or one might opt to walk leisurely along the riverside boulevard known as the Iloilo Esplanade in MANDURRIAO after MOLO. Its just a few minutes ride the Molo Plaza and starts at the foot of Carpenters bridge. Its a joggers paradise but also offer a lot of photo ops nice sunset, river scenery and more. It is the new gathering place especially at night) Dinner time offers a lot of promise but if one has night life in mind after dinner then its better have it all in one. The Nightlife Centrale of Iloilo City is commonly referred to as Smallville but the area comprises more than the original complex. From the restaurants along Diversion Road to those at the Riverside Boardwalk, Smallville and The Avenue, its a one stop place for fine dining, carefree drinking, clu b partying, and more even a waterpark! Fridays and Saturdays often see this area overflowing with people who have nothing in mind but fun. Day 2: G-Day It is recommended to start early with this one since it time will surely fly fast. Welcome to Guimaras an island that fits your taste. Weather permitting a day trip from 9am to 6pm would surely add a new perspective in your vacation. Guimaras is just 20miniutes from Iloilo City but once there its a world away. Take Guimaras bound boats from either Ortiz or Parola wharves to Jordan or Buenavista wharves on the island. Once there, register at the tourist kiosks and decide on your mode of transport, usually renting tricycles or multi cab jeepneys for the trip on top of commuting. From the Jordan wharf, attractions would include Bala-an Bukid, the Guimaras Capitol and Museum, Trappist Monastery, Valle Verde Mountain Resort, Guisi beach and lighthouse and Alubihod beach. Raymen Resort in Alubihod beach is the most popular as it offers the most versatile accommodation and often is a good jump off point to island hopping. Island hopping might as well be the highlight of any trip (even just for the day) to Guimaras. From marine sanctuaries to limestone formations and isolated beaches to caves and coves one can easily forget about time. The last trip back to Iloilo City is around 6pm and from then and there, its another night of gastronomic funSee GUIMARAS in details

Day 3: South departure A trip down the southern towns of Iloilo for heritage churches and other attractions, it is recommended to start the day early. Also to have none of the inconvenience of running against (check out) time at the hotel (12nn), it is advisable to check out early. Best option is to leave things at the Travelers Lounge at SM City Iloilo which opens at 530 am. JARO would make a perfect finale as this district takes pride of its past from mansions and churches to restaurants and pasalubong. Visit Nelly Garden and the Lizares mansions then the Jaro Cathedral, belfry and plaza and grab some pasalubong from numerous pasalubong shops like Biscocho Haus and Deocampo Barquillos. See ILOILO SOUTH, JARO in details A final round up of pasalubong buying can be made at SM City Iloilo then finally travel to the airport via shuttle vans (PhP70). At the pre departure area, there are some pasalubong shops (usually marked up) and food shops - some actually have the same price as their other branches or just slightly higher but still offers very affordable food items. Bon voyage and bon apetit!

From the airport, shuttle vans are available that will take you to SM City Iloilo for Php50. Multi-cabs are also available for Php10 from the airport to Santa Barbara. Drop off at the Total Gas Station and from there, ride a jeepney (Php15) which will take you to Iloilo City Proper. Check-ins are usually at 2pm. Use your available to time to taste the famous La Paz Batchoy at Ted's Old Timer along Diversion Road. La Paz Batchoy is a must-try.

Day 1 Iloilo City Cultural Tour Explore downton Iloilo for some cultural background Museo Iloilo located at Bonifacio Drive Calle Real Roberto's Queen Siopao - a must try Aduana Building - panoramic 360 degree view of Iloilo and Guimaras Plaza Libertad Molo Plaza to visit molo Church Villa Arevalo District

This is a tiring tour so eat affordable but delicious meals at Tatoy's Manokan and Seafood. DAY 2 GUIMARAS - this is a must-visit island!
