Guimaras has amazing beaches to offer but to make you guys imagine, there's almost few to no nightlife in the beachfront establishments.

So this is where the fun starts! We settled down in our room and changed to our island hopping attire. Since we were told that we can do both island hopping and city tour at the same day, we then started the adventure with island hopping!

The Igang Marine Station of SEAFDEC (Southeast Asian Fisheries Development Center). To tell you the truth, I am not expecting a lot about Guimaras. I mean it could just be like any other beach. We can have island hopping but are the islands and the beaches really worth it? That's what I thought at first. But while we're approaching SEAFDEC, right there and then, there is something really worth visiting.
