BUDGET TRAVEL TO TATLONG PULO, GUIMARAS

I sometimes have these 12 midnight realizations which can turn into early morning beach trips. In those not so rare moments, I discovered tatlong pulo. A simple and private island in Guimaras, Tatlong Pulo boasts its blue beach surrounded by two islets. If the tide permits, you can readily swim from one island to the other.

Tatlong Pulo is located at Brgy. Sinapsan, Guimaras. There are neighboring resorts but the beauty of this place is incomparable. I was a little bit upset that the area offers no food for first time travellers who did not bring anything for lunch or dinner perhaps. And the locals there are quite passive in conversing to visitors.  Luckily, the driver of our motorcycle is really friendly. Thanks for the assistance manong!

How to get there

· Ride the Bangka from Ortis Wharf going to Guimaras. (Php14.00/ head)

· Upon arrival, directly proceed to their tourism office for assistance (which I find to be very convenient)

· Either ride a mini van or jeepney going to ALIBHON TERMINAL/ PUBLIC MARKET for Php13.00

· Ride a private motorcycle to Tatlong pulo (Php70.00/ head)

You can also opt to hire a private tricyle at P300 to directly go there
