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.

One of my favorite stop is an encounter a sea turtle at the Lawi Marine Turtle Rescue Center.

This is how it looks like inside the cave.
These are lovely houses in one of the islands.
We had a stop over at Natago Island to see a church.
