Opening times, essentials, and a few local tips gathered into one calmer, easier-to-scan planning section.
Car
If you are driving from Iloilo City, take the route towards the Iloilo Strait. Board a ferry from Iloilo City to Guimaras Island. Ferries leave from the Ortiz Wharf or Parola Wharf and the fare is approximately PHP 14-20 per person. The ferry ride takes around 15-20 minutes. Once you arrive at Guimaras, head towards Nueva Valencia. Follow the main road until you reach the junction leading to Guisi. The lighthouse is located at a distance from the main road, so you may need to ask locals for directions to the lighthouse which is marked as 'FFJF+GQG, Nueva Valencia' on maps.
Public Transportation
From Iloilo City, you can take a jeepney to the Jordan Wharf. The fare is approximately PHP 15-20. At the wharf, board a ferry to Guimaras Island (as mentioned previously). After arriving at Guimaras, take a tricycle or a habal-habal (motorcycle taxi) to Nueva Valencia. The fare for the tricycle can range from PHP 50-100. Upon reaching Nueva Valencia, ask the driver to take you to Guisi Lighthouse. The lighthouse is a short hike from where the tricycle can drop you off.
