Garin Farm in Iloilo


The area for kayak, boating, zipline and a lot more..

Garin Farm is located in San Joaquin, Iloilo about an hour and 20 minutes drive from Iloilo City proper. If you're planning a Church hopping you may include GarinFarm in your itinerary. Only 15 minutes drive from the famous Miag-ao Church.

What's in store for you here?

"Delight your senses in GarinFarm – an exciting multifaceted 14-hectare inland resort in San Joaquin, Iloilo, Philippines. GarinFarm is a delightful blending of leisure, pilgrimage, and agriculture that gives you an incomparable vacation.  In the versatile inland resort, you can find superb amenities — impeccably designed and landscaped glass-walled rooms with a breathtaking view of the ocean or the mountains, a wide swimming pool for adults and children, a 5,000 sq. meter man-made lagoon for boat rides, fishing and kayaking, and a route for horseback riding and trekking, among many others.


GarinFarm also offers you a chance to give in to your adventurous side through the 300- meter zipline running across the lagoon.  On the other hand, if you feel the urge to quiet down, GarinFarm has the perfect spot for spiritual connection with the Divine Mercy Cross situated at the peak of the resort.   And as you go up the peak, you will behold life-size and life-like statues, almost a decade in the making, of scenes from the Creation, Noah’s Ark, The Ten Commandments, and the 9 Major Events of the Life of Jesus Christ (Nativity, Baptism of Christ In Jordan River, Entry To Jerusalem, Last Supper, Agony At The Garden, Scourging At The Pillar, Crucifixion, Resurrection and Ascension) culminating in the awe-inspiring Divine Mercy Cross.  These will bring you a fascinating and realistic experience of communion with the Anointed One.  No other resort offers you this wonderful experience – only GarinFarm!"

Dove Feeding

 An entrance fee of P150/head, open until 7p.m.only. For every activity/ride there's a corresponding fee. They breed chickens, turkeys, docks, goats and other livestock- a mini zoo for kids!

The kids had so much fun! I've never heard any complaints from them despite of endless walking and uphill climb of 456 steps to the Divine Mercy Cross. They enjoyed feeding the doves, even tried to catch and touch them. We had our dinner in their simple set-up restaurant. The serving is just right for the price which is pocket friendly. Parang limot ko na ata ang lasa ng food nila dahil sa sobrang pagod at gutom. HA HA HA.In fairness, all the meals we ordered taste good. Thumbs-up!
