Guimaras Island Tour
About this tour
Just a short pumpboat ride from Iloilo City, Guimaras is celebrated as the Mango Capital of the Philippines, home to fruit so sweet it was once recognised by the Guinness Book of World Records. This full-day island tour combines that famous sweetness with the island's quiet beaches, historic sites and laid-back rural charm.
The land tour visits the Trappist Monastery, run by Cistercian monks who support themselves selling mango jams, jellies and other treats, and the picturesque 18th-century Guisi Lighthouse, where a spiral staircase rewards climbers with sweeping views over Guisi Beach and the island. You will also see quirky local landmarks such as the former Smallest Plaza in the Philippines, a one-time Guinness record holder.
Many tours add island hopping among the islets off the coast, with stops like Turtle Island, Ave Maria Island and the SEAFDEC marine station, plus time to swim and snorkel in clear water. And of course, no visit is complete without sampling Guimaras mangoes fresh and in everything from pies to ice cream.
