Island Hopping in Guimaras

I had chance to have a short sightseeing in Guimaras after organizing the 1st Manggahan Festival Half Marathon.  I went with my sister and her friends to Raymen Beach Resort in Alubihod where we took a boat ride to see the small islands in the area.

It was a short but fun ride.  Although Guimaras is a small island, it is rich in its natural beauty.  The government has been very supportive in protecting its natural wonders.

What I saw during the island hopping surprised me and I want to go back there with Quennie and Gab next year.

We saw sea turtles, caves, houses on top of the island and small beaches.
