Guimaras is an island-province in the Visayas located between the islands of Panay and Negros. Here is a simple guide on how to get to Guimaras, the “land of sweet mangoes”, from Iloilo International Airport.

Vans are located just in front of the airport.

From Iloilo International Airport, ride a PUV Express bound to SM Iloilo. Fare is Php50 and travel time is about 30-45 minutes. Some passengers are bound to other municipalities of Iloilo like Molo, so please be sure to get down at SM Iloilo.

The name of the boat you’re going to ride is listed on the stub together with your ticket.

Jeepneys with SM City Proper signboard pass by the street going to Ortiz Wharf, just remind the driver you’re going to the wharf, fare is Php8 and about 10-15 minutes travel time. During my visit, waves were larger at the side of Ortiz Wharf so locals advised me to proceed to Parola, the other jump-off point to Guimaras. I took another jeepney bound to Parola and paid another Php8.

Pump boats ply the distance between Iloilo and Guimaras regularly throughout the day. Fare is Php13 and travel time is about 15-20 minutes. You can purchase your ticket at the booth and after signing the manifesto, you can already board your designated boat.

You need to sign on the tourism log book upon arrival in Jordan Wharf.
