nung pumunta kami ng iloilo last july, kasama namin yung 2 year old son namin... enjoy naman sya sa pag visit sa church at pag pasyal sa park (may mga nag e-exercise pa ngang matatanda na sinsabayan nya eh), nag enjoy din syang sumakay ng jeep (first time nya kasi), tapos visit sa museum, although natakot sya sa ibang artifacts. Nag enjoy din sya maglaro habang kumakain sa breakthrough, beachside kasi. Tapos marami ring mall just incase na kailanganin mo ng instant na activities for kids... Sa Sm city meron nung mga sinasakyan na may token. You can also try that.

^1 day only at bora? you won't get to enjoy bora that much sis sayang.. well from caticlan to ilo, it will take 4-5 hours. i suggest the other way around sis. unahin nyo muna ang ilo-guimaras then last stop nyo na ang bora. your return trip will be caticlan-manila na or kalibo-manila. kasi pag inuna mo ang bora, you will tend to compare it with guimaras e.

just got back from islas de gigantes. sisses you should try to go there! ang ganda ng place. way, way better than guimaras. buwis buhay lang yung ibang attractions like the tangke saltwater lagoon, and baquitan cave. pero sulit. at ang mura pa!

oo sis super ganda. i mean hindi sya developed like palawan or caramoan kasi wala pang mga resorts pero nature-wise, thumbs up talaga! ang babait pa ng mga tao. nakakatuwa kasi yung mga tao dun dahil hindi pa sila sanay na maraming turista, kapag nakakakita sila ng naka-swimsuit, natutuwa sila haha! yung mga bata parang manghang-mangha sa kasama namin.

saka even yung tour guide namin sa island hopping first time nila nakakita ng nagfifish-feed ng tinapay. kaya sabi ko sa kanila kapag may guests sila, ipagdala nila ng tinapay. tapos sabi ko bumili sila nung underwater cam case tapos pa-rent nila.

gusto ko din bumalik para isama yung hubby ko. baka march para sabay kay sis tiara

same Q sis but which part of Tangke lagoon was "buwis-buhay"? And is Baquitan different from Pawikan cave? What's in Baquitan? Btw, Ive been to Gigantes too and I share the same fascination. :)

yung Baquitan cave yung malapit lang sa hideaway mismo. i believe yung pawikan yata ay nasa isang isla?

yung sa tangke kasi, nung nagpunta kami dun eh bongga ang habagat. so on our first attempt, hindi kami talaga maka-dock kasi wagas ang alon. nung nasa antonia's na kami may nakita kami foreigner at pinay na jowa nya. nadinig namin nakapunta sila sa tangke, so pinilit namin sila kuya joeffer na pumunta sa tangke. pagpunta namin dun hindi na masyadong malakas yung alon katulad nung umaga, pero maalon pa din! so si kuya marni sumisid para itali yung bangka, tapos halos ginapos na nila yung buong bangka para maikabit nila yung hagdan. kaso maalon talaga, so goodbye hagdan. ang ginawa nila yung isang boatman sumampa sa bato, then yung isa sa bangka, may hawak silang kawayan. tapos si kuya joeffer naman ang hahatak sa amin paakyat. so from the edge of the boat ka aapak, kapit sa kawayan, sway-sway ang boat ng bongga at muntik na akong mag-split dahil humihiwalay yung boat sa kawayan (haha!), tapos hahakbang ka ng wagas sa bato kung nasaan si kuya joeffer. ayun, nabasag ko eardrum ni kuya joeffer sa kakasigaw! LOL

^naku sis ang layo layo ng ilo airport to caticlan. if you want to go to bora, better get a plane going to kalibo airport (aklan) which is just 3 hours away from the jump-off point of bora which is caticlan. or better yet sa caticlan airstrip na mismo. research ka sis on sea air. there's also a thread on bora sis.

^^^ sis from iloilo airport, ride the van going to sm and tell the driver to drop you off at jaro cathedral. from there ride a jeep to tagbak terminal where vans and buses bound to kalibo and caticlan are.

^i'm not sure kung may bonggang caves at falls sa guimaras because when we were there wala naman kami napuntahan n ganun. s gigantes naman mananawa ka s trekking, may 50 caves din dun. the islands are nicer too imho

Hi Sissies,

Would just like to know how much ang budget to allot for a 3 days/2nights trip to Iloilo for 2 persons.

This should be able to cover land/city tour, island hopping, food and accomodation.

TIA!
