Travelers guide to Southern & Western Iloilo

Touring around southern and western towns of Iloilo is one made up of heritage, culture and gastronomy with hints of fun under the sun. It comprises of seven selected and adjacent towns along the seaside (southern towns) and going to the Iloilo airport (western towns). With Iloilo City being the start and or end of the tour (others may then proceed to the airport for their trip back home)

Starting early is most recommended so one can maximize the time and can be finished within 8-10 hours . This tour can be by just commuting – taking jeepneys rides from town to town, or by hiring shuttle vans for big groups (max. of 14) for convenience.

For commuters, the transport terminal going south is located in Brgy. Mohon along the boundary of the city and the next town while the west side in Brgy. Ungka. Both transport terminals are accessible from the downtown Iloilo City.
