in #philippines7 years ago (edited)

Good day Steemians!

Sharing with you our recent vacation travel adventure here in the Iloilo,Philippines

Iloilo is dubbed as the "Heart of the Philippines" because of its geographical location.
Located in the Western Visayas region. It is in the central part of the Philippine archipelago and it stands as the gateway to Southern Philippines.

The province never fail to amaze tourist for having a variety of natural and historical attractions. It has many beaches that you may spend your days.

We only did a D-I-Y Tour so it would be much cheaper. It's a 4 days and 3 Nights fun-filled adventure.

First Day : Guimaras Island Day Tour

The island is known for it's sweet mangoes which is considered to be one of the sweetest in the world and also it is home to some pristine white-sand beaches and beautiful islets.

Without much to say, here are some pictures taken on the first day.

Second Day : Isla Gigantes

On our second day we explore Isla Gigantes, Island hopping, swimming. We also stayed in the island overnight. The Gigantes Islands, also known as Islas de Gigantes or the islands of giants, is a remote group of islands located off the coast of Carles and Estancia towns in northeastern Iloilo, Philippines. It takes at least 5 hours to get there from Iloilo City. Don't want to bore you with words so take a look on the pictures on the second day activities.

SSSSHHHHhhh... if you don't tell your age no one will ever know! ;)
...and Yes, that is a compliment, you will appreciate looking "too young" as you get older, you will likely look 15-20 years younger than your real age for a long time!

Sa isla gigantes naman nagbook lang ako sa fb, check https://www.facebook.com/Gigantesislandtour/ ,its a joiner tour. :) for iloilo city naman, sariling sikap sa paghanap ng blogs tapos commute commute lang around the city.. madami naman jeeps. :) Hmmm.. sa accomodation pag gusto mo budget hotel sa iloilo, sa ong bun pension house ka magbook. :) Dalawa lang kami nung nagpunta kami dyan without airfare expenses namin each aroung 4-5k :)

Nice! Okay na din expenses nyo no. Although september pa naman ako so I can gather more information pa so I can just DIY. Thank you! Super helpful nito :)

yep. mas madami mas makakamura. yep, research ka nalang earlier pero mas maganda book ka na hotel mga 1 month ahead. madami joiner tour pag isla gigantes. sa guimaras naman di ka mamomoblema pagbaba mo palang ng port ang dami na ssalubong sayo dun na mag aalok ng tour. :) Enjoy! Wag mo kalimutan kumain ng Lapaz Batchoy at mango pizza! the best! thank you
