WHERE TO GO IN GUIMARAS

Guimaras is a small and quiet town that lives in its own pace not affected by the changes taking place in nearby places because it is separated to the mainland by seas. Its simplicity and calmness give Guimaras its charm and enchantment, this probably is the reason it attracts a wide array of tourists from different countries around the world and the reason it is one of the leading tourist attractions in the Philippines.

SEAFDEC or South East Asian Fisheries Development Center is a government owned facility that studies development of marine life and the proper way to culture it in order to help fishermen work for better livelihood opportunities. This facility looks like a simple fishpond but there’s more than meets the eye.

For a small fee of Php 25, the facility also served as a tourist spot which I think one of the best experience I had in Guimaras. The caretaker discussed different species of fish and how they are being cultured. Read More: http://www.adventurousfeet.com/2013/03/part2-iloilo-guimaras-day-2-island.html

Ave Maria Island

With its pristine white sand and grotto-like island look, no wonder this island was named after the prayer that gives praise to the miraculous beauty of Mother Mary. Ave Maria Island is located on the western part of Guimaras, with approximately 3 minutes away from Tiniguiban Island, around 5 to 7 minutes from Guimaras’ SEAFDEC and roughly 10 minutes from Raymen Resort, where we spent the night.
