You can get this trip for a lower price depending on what you do, where you stay, and where you eat. We ended up doing the island hopping tour again because a friend got sea sick and we had to bring him back to the resort. We also decided to go to as many places possible to get the most out of our trip, hence we spent more because of it.

Around Guimaras
Guimaras has fixed rates when it comes to tours. For the island hopping tour the fixed rates are P500 for the first hour and P150 for the succeeding hours for 1-10 people. You can cover everything depending on your length of stay on each stop in 3-4 hours. For the land tour, its P1,200 for the tricycle. We stayed in Raymen Beach Resort for P900 fan room good for five.
Around Iloilo
We dropped by the UNECO Heritage Site in Miag-ao, the Miag-ao Church. We mostly used the jeep to get there and back, but when we got pressed for time we hired a taxi from Mohon Terminal. We met a very generous taxi driver who drove us all the way to the airport from Mohon Terminal while making stops in Robinson's and SM for only P400! He was really nice and would definitely recommend him. His name is Wagner, he's from Bulacan and his contact number is: 09084642626.
We stayed at the Riverside Inn and got a room for around P1,900 good for five people (the price includes extra person and extra bed since the room is only for three). You can reach Riverside Inn through 09228380191.
