Anini-y, Hamtic, San Jose Day Tour – June 2009
Last week me and my friends most of which I met over at flickr, went photo tripping in Antique province. We visited a few spots in Southern Antique (Anini-y, Hamtic, and San Jose) for a day trip. We first met at Molo Terminal, Iloilo City where a few van drivers were squabbling for our attention, we had to choose between a spacious new looking Mercedes Benz Van and an L300 van, which looked like it had experienced too many trips. We picked the L300 van because the driver promised to leave immediately for us. We were lucky enough because the driver was very friendly and even made a deal with us to take us to where we wanted to go until Hamtic and San Jose and then take us back to Iloilo City.
Travelling to Anini-y (two and a half hours from Iloilo City, fare = P100)
Mainland Anini-y Coast, Antique
Nogas Island, Anini-y, Antique (10 minutes travel time from Mainland Anini-y, Pumpboat Fare = P50 round trip)
Siraan Hot Springs (10 minutes travel time from Nogas Island, Entrance Fee – P20)
Anini-y Church / San Juan de Nepumuceno Church (Travel time from Siraan Hot Springs)
Ingwan Batangan Waterfalls in Bry. Ingwan Batangan, Hamtic, Antique (1 hour away from Anini-y, 30 minutes inland trek)
Newly opened Gaisano Grand Mall of Antique in San Jose Antique (15 minutes from Hamtic)

I remember Anini-y and Hamtic. It was the place I was lost about when I was on my bicycle ride from Jaro to San Jose de Buenavista in Antique. After I passed by the mountains of San Joaquin, I saw seas and beaches and decided there must be a shortcut along coastline from that point to San Jose. Later, locals told me I’d rather take the highway. So I had to go back to the highway to proceed to Antique. I haven’t had explored Anini-y and Hamtic because I was running short of time. Based on your photographs here, the place looks like a paradise to me… I hope I can visit this place again…

Ah, cool. Grabe, it’s more than 100 km from Iloilo City to San Jose. Maybe I should also try that sometime, when I’m in the bus I’m always thinking about going down to take pictures. Yes Nogas Island is very beautiful, I wished we had more time to spent there.

Sige bala, nami didto and it’s very convenient to go there. Just take the L300 to Anini-y and tell the driver to drop you off at the beach (near Siraan), talk to some locals about crossing to Nogas. They told us that the pumpboat rate is P500 round trip for the whole boat.

hopefully kapuli ko liwat iloilo.
anyway, nadumduman ko nakakadto lang ako before sa Siraan (that was 17 years ago though)… and my cousin was even prodding us to go to the island (na Nogas gali ang ngalan). Btw, i think may typo error sa pumpboat fare, instead of PHP 500, PHP 50 ung nakadisplay. hehe.

How’s the road from Tiolas to Anini-y, and from there to Tobias Fornier? A few months ago it was horrible the first part, and”just bad” for the second part!

Pakadto Siraan from where? you can ride a bus or van from Iloilo… the price is P100-P200. I have no idea about the cottage but I think they’re just cheap. There are a number of restaurants in the area, you don’t have to worry about food if you’re not planning to bring your own.
