Negros Island is the fourth largest island in the Philippines and its major city Bacolod is the fourth largest city
in the Philippines. Negros Island is located in the middle of the Philippine Islands in the Visayan Islands between two other
large Visayan islands Cebu and Panay, and Negros is just north of Mindanao Island. The island is divided into two provinces:
Occidental Negros and Oriental Negros (recently ranked by Islands Magazine as one of the top 20 islands in the world for foreigners to live on). The Philippines' largest cave---Odloman Cave---is located in Mabinay in the middle of Negros Island.

You can easily ride on an excellent condition, late model bus with a safe driver on a Ceres Lines bus from the Ceres bus terminal south of downtown Dumaguete City to Mabinay, or even beyond to Bacolod City [the fourth largest city in the Philippines].
       Here's how: If you are going by bus from Dumaguete City to Mountain Valley Guest Inn 2, take a tricycle [4 pesos per passenger per ride] from anywhere in Dumaguete to the Ceres bus terminal [south side of city]. Get on a Ceres Bus that goes to Bacolod [4th biggest city in Philippines and located on the opposite corner of Negros Island from Dumaguete] VIA Mabinay. At least one or more buses leave Dumaguete every hour 24 hours for Bacolod via Mabinay [by far the shortest route to go between the two cities]. What you don't want to do is to take a bus to Bacolod VIA San Carlos [that route does not pass through Mabinay]. Bus fare per passenger one way Dumaguete to Mabinay is 60 pesos [each US$1 equals approximately 55 pesos] The bus will take you through towns and cities on the national highway like Amlan and Bais City. About 5 kilometers north of Bais City, there is a a different national highway that the bus will turn left onto [at a T-intersection]. That road will take you into the mountains and then into the huge Mabinay Valley. It takes about 45 minutes to one hour to go from Bias to Mabinay [after about 1.5 to 2 hours for the trip from Dumaguete to Bais].
