Guimaras Travel Guide Blog Itinerary Map

Guimaras is an island province located in the Western Visayas region of the Philippines. It is sandwiched by the province of Iloilo and Negros Occidental. The island is known for its fine, white sand beaches and its sweet mangoes—which is renowned worldwide. Tourist and backpackers flock the island especially during summer for its crystalline waters and a few historical sites.

Most travelers usually consider Guimaras as a day-tour destination forming the usual side-trip from Iloilo City, but with this travel guide, I’ll let you in on a little secret, the province has a lot more to offer more than its usual tourist spots and frequented beaches. Check out the 2-day and 3-day itineraries I’ve prepared for those wanting a more intensive Guimaras tour.

HOW TO GET TO GUIMARAS


There are two ways to reach the island of Guimaras. The popular route is through its western side, via Iloilo City. From the Ortiz dock, pump boats and ferries ply the Iloilo Strait regularly to Jordan Port in Guimaras.

The second route is via the towns of Palupandan and Valladolid in Negros Occidental. There are daily ferries that cross the Guimaras Strait to the wharfs in San Lorenzo. Note that you would need to get a ride, most probably through a habal-habal, to the town of Jordan before you can avail of tours.

GETTING AROUND GUIMARAS


Getting Around Guimaras

Tricycles, jeepneys, multicabs, and single motorcycles—locally called habal-habal—are the main mode of transportation in Guimaras. Short distances can be covered by either tricycles or motorbikes, but for long distances, jeepneys are the way to go. Patience would be needed for jeepneys though, as it takes quite a while before they pass, and when they do, they’re usually full. If you’re the adventurous type, riding on the roof—topload-style—is an option you can consider.

GUIMARAS ORGANIZED / PACKAGED TOURS


Guimaras Organized Tours

It’s kinda hard to tour Guimaras DIY-style due to the lack of public transportation in the province. The best way to visit the usual tourist spots in Guimaras is by renting a motorbike, tricycle, or multicab along with a guide. These are easy to come by once you dock at Jordan Port as they would practically swarm over tourists as soon as they disembark from the port. Land tour tricycle rates (good for 3 to 4pax) usually start at ₱1,200.00 to ₱1,500.00 (depending on the places you wish to visit).

SPEAK GUIMARAS


Hiligaynon and Kinaray-a are the two most common language of the people of Guimaras. Language is not a problem for tourists visiting the province though, as most Guimarasnons are fluent in English and Tagalog.

Good Morning – Maayong Aga
Good Afternoon - Maayong Hapon
Good Evening – Maayong Gab-i

WHERE TO STAY IN GUIMARAS


Most accommodations in Guimaras are situated near its coastal areas since the province has a lot of beautiful beaches. High-end resorts go side-by-side with backpacker-friendly ones so picking a place to stay that’s right for your budget wouldn’t be a problem. For visitors wanting a cheaper accommodation and wouldn’t mind being a bit far from the beach, one can go for the few inland lodgings in the province.

WHERE TO EAT IN GUIMARAS


Besides its mangos, Guimaras isn’t really known for culinary tradition. There’s the usual carinderias that serves local dishes like kansi, batchoy, and the usual Filipino fares but other than that, you won’t find any McDonald’s or fancy restaurants in the province. But that was before. In 2019, Jollibee opened its doors in Guimaras, more food places are now opening up.

GUIMARAS SAMPLE ITINERARIES


Most tourists usually go to Guimaras for day tours, but the province has a lot more to offer besides the usual countryside tours outlined by guides at Jordan Port. I’ve been to Guimars a number of times and I’ve done the rushed day trip to almost spending a week just lounging around on a beach resort in the province.

Below, I listed possible 1-day, 2-day, and 3-day tour itineraries that one can follow as time permits. Depending on your time and budget, you may even extend for a few more days and try the other places of interests in Guimaras like the Taklong Islands and the expensive Isla Naburot.

    1. Hi Roy, the reason I really didn't put a budget in the itinerary and guide was due to the fact that tourists have different ways of travelling. So your budget would really depend where you're gonna be staying and where you would be eating out. :)

  8. hi there! thank you for the very informative blog. I just want to ask is it possible to tour around (land tour) in the afternoon perhaps 3pm onwards? How much time needed for a land tour? And also how about the island tour? thank you so much in advance

    1. You can definitely do the land tour, you'd just have to really rush it though, so no more beach time. For the Guimaras island hopping tour, that I'm not sure if it is possible

  14. I recently went to Guimaras last Holy Week 2016. It was amazing! The island was perfect and my guide was awesome. I wrote about my experience here: Guimaras Travel Guide for 2016. That might help you when you visit the island. Salamat po! :)
