How to get to dumaguete port from dumaguete airport.

From Dumaguete Airport, you can take a tricycle , Easyride , or a bus to Dumaguete Port.

The travel time is around 15-20 minutes depending on traffic and the fare for a tricycle is around ₱150- ₱ 200 if you choose to ride the tricycle inside the airport.

Here’s a tip from a local who had been in and out of the airport for a lot of time. Walk less than a minute to the National Highway and hail a tricycle.

Before riding it, make sure that both parties agree on the fare that you’ll pay . The fare is only ₱50 at most , that is ₱100 less than the tricycles inside the airport.

But if you are really on a budget , and are traveling light, you can hail an Easyride instead . Choose the one with a route from Sibulan to Dumaguete (you can see this sign at the side of the Easyride).

The fare is only ₱15 and make sure to tell the driver to drop you near Silliman Portal West . From there, you can see the boulevard and the sea, but if there are too many objects blocking the view, ask a local and they’ll be happy to tell you where to go.

It’s only a less than 5-minute walk to the pier so if you don’t mind the hassle and want to save more, you can choose this option.

A bus is also a convenient option and the fare is also ₱15 only.

You can hail a non-aircon bus on the National Road and just tell the conductor that you are going to Dumaguete Pier Port. The bus will drop you off at the nearest stop in the pier.

SIQUIJOR TRAVEL GUIDE with Sample Itinerary & Budget

“It’s safe here,” our tricycle driver shared proudly. “You can leave your luggage in the tricycle. No one’s gonna take it.”

That would have been comforting, except he added, “They’re afraid of the needle .”

And just like that, my friend Grace was overtaken by fear. LOL. By reputation, Siquijor is a land of witchcraft and black magic, something that my companion was awfully aware of. But I have traveled long enough to know that a place’s reputation doesn’t always match reality, a view I have explained thoroughly to my friend to blow her doubts away.

But five minutes into this trip, our trike driver filled her mind with images of mysticism. “It’s real,” he said. “I can even take you to a village here so you could meet one.” He was probably referring to the faith healers.

Any other day, I would have said yes as it is something that has always tickled my curiosity, but Grace was quick to steer the conversation away from the topic. “Let’s stick to the beaches!”

Ah beaches. Yes, like many other remote corners of the Philippines, Siquijor too is bursting with something equally magical — natural beauty. This travel guide will allow you to explore beachy side of the province, not much the witchy side. (Sorry if that’s what you’re after. LOL.) And to be honest, that’s probably the only sorcery you’re gonna need.

WHAT'S COVERED IN THIS GUIDE?

UNDERSTANDING SIQUIJOR

When the Spaniards first set foot in the island, they were captivated by fireflies swarming around molave trees, hence the nickname “Isla del Fuego” (Island of Fire). As one of the first provinces reached by the clutches of Spain, Siquijor has Roman Catholicism deeply rooted in their history and culture. In fact, most of the island’s manmade attractions are religious structures.

In terms of land area and population, Siquijor is the third smallest province in the country. It’s so small, you can see most of its key tourist spots in one day or two, although we urge you to stay longer.

• Language : Cebuano. English is widely understood.
• Currency : Philippine peso (PhP). PhP100 = USD2, EUR 1.65, KRW 22000, JPY218
• Mode of payment : Cash. There are a few ATMs in the island so if you’re coming from Dumaguete or Cebu, it would be more convenient to withdraw money before your visit.

WHERE TO STAY IN SIQUIJOR

If you’re strapped for cash, you’ll find several accommodations for less than P1000 a night, with some going as low as P300, especially at town centers and port area. However, note that many of them are basic fan rooms with barely any amenities.

But if you want more comfort, you can stay at a guest house. If you have more funds, staying at a beach-front resort would be ideal. The following are the top options on Agoda, ranked by reviews. Here are the top rated properties on Agoda.

How to get to siquijor.

Siquijor doesn’t have its own airport, but it is easily accessible from Dumaguete City in Negros Oriental. Access from ferry is also possible but it takes hours.

MANILA TO SIQUIJOR

If you’re coming from Manila, you have to fly to Dumaguete or Cebu first. Between the two, Dumaguete is the faster, cheaper, and easier option.

• Fly to Dumaguete City . Philippine Airlines and Cebu Pacific Air carry passengers from Manila to Dumaguete in about 1.5 hours. You can look for flights at Traveloka.com .
• Take a tricycle to Dumaguete Sea Port (near the boulevard). Travel time: 15-30 minutes. Fare: P120-150.
• Buy a ticket and board a ferry to Siquijor . Travel time: 1 hour. Fare: P136 to P360, depending on the destination port, class, and liner. Several shipping lines ply this route so you’re sure to find one every 2 hours. Options are fewer on Saturdays, though. You also have to pay the terminal fee, P25.

Note : The island has two main sea ports, though: one in Siquijor (the town) and the other in Larena. Choose the one near your resort or hotel.

CEBU TO SIQUIJOR

If you’re in Cebu or you want to visit Siquijor as part of your extended Cebu trip, here’s how to get there.

• Make your way to Cebu South Terminal . If you’re coming from Mactan airport, board the myBus outside the domestic terminal to SM City. There’s a bus leaving the Mactan Airport every 30 minutes from 7am-11am, and every 20 minutes from 11am-9:30pm. Fare: P25. Then take a cab to the South Bus Terminal. Outside these hours, you may take a cab, Uber or Grab straight to the bus terminal. Fare is between P230-P300, depending on traffic.
• Hop into the bus bound for Liloan (in Santander Municipality). Travel time: 4-5 hours. Fare: P162 (ordinary), P200 (air-conditioned).
• Board the ferry bound for Sibulan (in Negros Oriental). Travel time: 20-25 minutes. Fare: P50 (ticket) + P10 Terminal Fee + P2 Municipal Fee.
• At Sibulan Port, ride a jeepney or pedicab to Dumaguete City . Jeepney fare is P12. Pedicab is P10 per person.
• Once in Dumaguete City, take a tricycle to Dumaguete Port . Fare: P10.

HOW TO GET AROUND SIQUIJOR

Upon disembarking at either Siquijor or Larena Port, you will be greeted by tricycle and multi-cab drivers, enticing you to get their services. These are legit. (At least most of them are.) Not only can they take you to your resort, they can also tour you around.

Transportation options are very limited in the island. If you can’t drive a motorcycle, you have two main choices:

• Tricycle Tour : P1000-P1200 per tricycle. Up to 3 pax.
• Multi-cab Tour : P1800 per vehicle. Can accommodate 15+ pax.

According to our trike driver, the following are also available, although we never really saw any rental places.

• Van Tour : P2500 per vehicle
• Motorcycle rental : P350 per vehicle

In our case, we began our tour right away and decided to just drop our luggage at the reception of our resort along the way. This way, we get to maximize our day.

The itinerary isn’t fixed. Although your guide/driver will have their recommendations, you also get to choose where you want to go. For example, Kagusuan Beach isn’t part of the usual tricycle route but our driver agreed to take us there at no extra cost.

If you enjoyed your first day tour, hire your guide-driver for your second day so he could pick you up at the resort.

PLACES TO VISIT IN SIQUIJOR

There are two main tours in Siquijor: Coastal Tour and Mountain Tour. The Coastal Tour will show you around the island, making stops at beaches and churches among others. The Mountain Tour will take you deeper inland to Cantabon Cave and Bandilaan Park.

To maximize your time, choose your stops well. Siquijor has a lot of wonderful spots to offer, but to be honest, there are some that can be a bit underwhelming. For example, the Old Balete Tree and Capilay Spring Park can feel like tourist traps at first glance and they pale in comparison to Aurora’s greater balete tree and Camiguin’s hot springs respectively. But here’s the thing: they are legit attractions among locals , who were the original patrons. Context. But feel free to skip them if you feel like you’re not into them. This way, you can have more time for other sites.

Coastal Tour (aka Land Tour)

• Salagdoong Beach . Perhaps the most popular beach on the island. Great for cliff-jumping. Entrance fee: P30. Parking Fee: P40.
• Kagusuan Beach . A short stretch of sand concealed in between rocks.
• Cambugahay Falls . A small, three-tiered waterfall. Perfect for a quick freshwater dip and a mandatory Tarzan rope swing (jk, it’s not mandatory). Entrance Fee: P10. Unli-Swing: P20. Parking Fee: P20.
• Lazi Church and Convent . More formally known as San Isidro Labrador Parish Church, a Baroque structure which was declared a National Cultural Treasure.
• Siquijor Church . Aka St Francis de Assisi Church. Standing right next to the port.
• Capilay Spring Park
• Enchanted Balete Tree. Entrance fee: P10.
• Paliton Beach
• Guiwanon Spring Park

Mountain Tour

• Cantabon Cave . Great for spelunking newbies. It’s not that challenging, but there are curious rock formations and refreshing pools inside. This was the highlight of our stay in Siquijor! Tour Fee: P500 for 3 pax, including guide fee and rental of helmet and flash lights.
• Mt. Bandilaan Park . Perched atop a hill, offering a walking trail and a view of the province and nearby islands.

SAMPLE SIQUIJOR ITINERARY

Below is a sample overnight itinerary with cost breakdown for a group of three. You may pattern your own itinerary after this. Just adjust it according to your needs.

You can book a tricycle or multi-cab tour of the island as soon as you arrive in the island. If your resort is along the way, you may ask the driver to make a quick stop there to check in and leave your bags at the reception before continuing your tour.

The Island Tour mentioned below would take you to key tourist spots in Siquijor including Cambugahay Falls, Salagdoong Beach, Lazi Church and Convent, Siquijor Church, Ecnchanted Balete Tree, and Capilay Spring Park.

The itinerary above will cost you P2100 (USD 42, SGD 57, EUR 37) excluding airfare and accommodations.

If you’re a group of 3 and you have P1500 hotel budget, prepare to shell out P2600 .

Note that we also allotted P150-P200 per meal. That’s more than enough if you decide to eat at cheap eateries around town centers. (That’s what we did.)

Most travelers visit Siquijor as part of a bigger Negros Oriental-Siquijor journey, which also includes Dumaguete City, Apo Island, and sometimes Manjuyod Sandbar. We’ll be providing a sample itinerary for that soon so be sure to check back.

Also, at the bottom of this post, I’ve included useful information on how to get to Siquijor, where to stay, how to get around, and the best time to visit.

SIQUIJOR ITINERARY – DAY 1:

Paliton beach.

The first thing that should be on the top of your itinerary is to hit the beach!

Paliton Beach is rated as one of the best beaches in Siquijor for its glistening white sands and palm tree fringed shoreline.

It’s located in the main tourist area of San Juan, so you’ll be within walking distance if you book your stay in this area.

There are a few oceanside cafes and beach bars dotted along Paliton Beach serving up cold brews and delicious meals.

Most have happy hour between 4 pm and 6 pm, so make sure to get there around this time if you want to score some cheap drinks and watch the sunset!

If you visit Paliton Beach during the day it’s just as good. You can find a number of tree swings tied to bent palms where you can swing out over the water’s edge!

Apart from that, there isn’t a whole lot more to do other than go swimming in the ocean, lay in a hammock underneath the coconut palms, or read a book by the beach.

LUGNASON FALLS

Lugnason Falls, also known as Zodiac Falls, is one of the top 3 waterfalls in Siquijor .

Lugnason Falls is located in the main tourist area of San Juan. From Paliton Beach, it’s approximately a 15-minute drive inland to reach this popular tourist spot.

The entrance is free though you may be asked to pay a small parking fee of 10 pesos.

From the jump-off point, it takes around 15 minutes to walk along a dirt trail through the forest to reach Lugnason Falls.

Lugnason Falls features a 5-meter waterfall and a large spring filled with blue Gatorade-colored water.

It’s an adventurer’s playground and reminded me of the blue-ass water that I found at Kawasan Falls in Cebu .

Lugnason Falls is a great spot to hang out and go swimming under the falls to cool off. For thrill-seekers, jumping from the top of the falls into the catch basin below is a lot of fun too!

Don’t end the adventure here as there are more unique spots to be found in the same valley as Lugnason Falls.

Follow the jungle trail downstream where you will find man-made aqua ducts and an epic cold spring perfect for swimming!

Have you got travel insurance for your trip?!

We all know accidents can happen and having Heymondo Insurance will save you thousands of dollars if something goes wrong.

Heymondo offers low-cost Travel Insurance to keep you covered on all your adventures.

CENTURY-OLD BALETE TREE

The Century-Old Balete Tree is one of the most visited tourist attractions on the island and it’s easy to see why!

This 400-year-old tree is worthy of a quick stop during your stay.

Century-Old Balete Tree is located in Lazi on the south coast. From San Juan, it’s approximately a 20-minute drive to reach this ancient tree and the entrance fee is only 10 pesos.

The 400-year-old  Enchanted Balete Tree in Siquijor has a very mystical and spiritual background.

It’s a place that local shamen use for sacred rituals, however, I didn’t see any witchcraft when I visited.

At the base of the Century Old Balete Tree is a small freshwater pond filled with fish that will nibble the dead skin off the soles of your feet if you dip them in.

Enjoy your fish foot spa while marveling at the thick canopy and huge vines that hang from the Old Enchanted Balete Tree.

Next to the Century-Old Tree in Siquijor, there is a restaurant where you can grab a meal with drinks and also a souvenir store selling all sorts of gifts.

VISIT THE LAZI CHURCH

Lazi Church, also known as San Isidro Labrador Parish Church, is a popular stop on most people’s Siquijor itinerary.

The Lazi Church is the oldest, largest, and most significant Roman Catholic Church on Siquijor Island Philippines.

Must Read: 21 Best Travel Accessories For Any Trip

San Isidro Labrador Parish Church is located in Lazi on the south coast. From San Juan, it’s approximately a 20-minute drive to reach this tourist attraction.

The construction of Lazi Church was completed in 1884 and was built mainly with stone and hardwood.

The bell tower attached to one side of the church was built one year later which is the most dominant feature on the outside.

Next to the church, you can also find a silent convent that acts as a museum that holds many old artifacts and antiques. The entrance fee at the museum is around 20 pesos.

Lazi Church also plays home to large masses and it’s possible to take a tour inside this century-old church with a priest.

LAGAAN FALLS

Lagaan Falls is one of the best waterfalls in Siquijor and a must-see during your visit!

Swimming holes, rope swings, rock jumps, and small caves are just some of the things you can expect to find at these falls.

But before you get to the falls, don’t forget to pack your Quick-Dry Travel Towel .

Lagaan Falls is located in Lazi on the south coast. From the main tourist area of San Juan, it’s approximately a 30-minute drive to reach the falls.

The entrance fee is 30 pesos and parking is free. Local guides will offer to take you down to the falls at the entrance, but this is not necessary as the trail is clearly marked.

However, I visited these falls on my own and decided to take a guide for good company and he asked for 50 pesos for his services.

It takes around 15 minutes to walk along a dirt trail underneath a dense rainforest canopy to reach t he first level of this Siquijor waterfall.

Some of the features you will find here are a large swimming hole, rope swings, small caves, rock jumps, and a wide set of falls. 

Don’t forget to follow the jungle trail upstream where you will find small freshwater rock pools and natural jacuzzis.

You could easily spend a few hours here jumping from pool to pool and swinging from the tree swings and not get bored.

Pssst! Check out this EPIC Hiking Backpack!

Perfect for shorter day hikes, the Osprey Stratos 24L is a tough pack made from sustainable materials.

With great internal organization, this is all you need for your next adventure, no matter the weather!

CAMBUGAHAY FALLS

Cambugahay Falls is arguably the best waterfall in Siquijor that is most famous for its tiered levels and freshwater cascades that are surrounded by lush rainforest.

Cambugahay Falls is located in Lazi which is approximately a 30-minute drive from San Juan to reach the falls and the entrance fee is 20 pesos.

From the jump-off point, it takes around 5 minutes to walk down a set of concrete steps to reach the first level of Cambugahay Falls.

These epic falls feature a large natural swimming hole and some man-made structures including rope swings, bamboo rafts, and a wide set of falls. 

Besides the bottom swimming hole, there are a few more levels of the falls to explore.

Make sure not to forget your Waterproof Phone Case , it would be a shame not to take amazing photos on the way!

Follow the trail upstream and across the bamboo bridges where you will find more freshwater swimming holes, flowing rock pools, and several cliff-jumping spots.

SIQUIJOR ITINERARY – DAY 2:

Tubod marine sanctuary.

Day 2 of this Siquijor itinerary begins at Tubod Marine Sanctuary, a protected reef that is rated as one of the best snorkeling and dive sites on Siquijor.

Explore the beautiful underwater world that this location has to offer.

Tubod Marine Sanctuary can be found in front of Coco Grove Resort and just off the shore from Tubod Beach in San Juan.

From Paliton Beach, it’s approximately a 10-minute drive to reach Tubod Marine Sanctuary.

Must Read → 3 Weeks Philippines Itinerary

Colorful corals and an abundance of marine life flourish within this protected marine sanctuary so you are in for a real treat!

You can bring your own mask and snorkel with you or rent one from the resort and it’s a short-distance swim out to the reef.

There are minimal currents and waves at Tubod Marine Sanctuary and the waters are incredibly clear.

I recommend setting aside at least one hour of your day to enjoy snorkeling at this location.

MAN-MADE FOREST SIQUIJOR

The Man-Made Forest in Siquijor is similar to the Bilar Man-Made Forest in Bohol , though on a smaller scale.

A visit to this tourist attraction is worthy of a quick stop for a photo during your adventures around the island.

The man-made forest can be found in Maria on the southeastern corner of Siquijor Island. From San Juan, it is approximately a 45-minute drive.

This enchanting stretch of road is around 2 km long and lined with beautiful mahogany trees between the towns of Minalulan and Liloan.

When you enter this parallel tunnel of trees, you’ll feel like you’ve just entered another realm.

You will also notice the temperature drop drastically as you drive through the man-made forest because the canopy above almost completely cuts out the sun.

There is also a nearby beach just before you arrive at the man-made forest that is worth checking out for a quick photo.

TALISAY BEACH

Talisay Beach Siquijor is not as crowded and popular as Paliton Beach which is why you should definitely find the time to visit this underrated beach.

Talisay Beach can be found between Lazi and Maria which is also in the same direction as Salagdoong Beach.

There is no official entry point for Talisay Beach, you can just park your scooter on the side of the road and follow one of the dirt trails down to the shoreline.

Related Article: Best Camera Gear For Travel

Emerging out of the jungle trail, you’ll step foot onto a white sand and coral cove that is stunning, to say the least.

Talisay Beach is best visited at high tide when the water comes right up to the palm-fringed shoreline, making it easier to go for a swim.

At low tide, you will have to walk across the rocky reef to find deeper water for a refreshing dip.

Click here to check the tide times in advance.

Talisay Beach is also a renowned spot for snorkeling in Siquijor, so make sure to bring a mask and snorkel set with you down to the beach.

Capture All Your Adventures!

I’m sure y’all know by now that GoPro’s are arguably the best action cameras on the planet!

The new GoPro HERO 11 boasts 5.3K video, 27MP photo, HyperSmooth stabilization, and waterproof up to 10m!

SALAGDOONG BEACH & CLIFF JUMP

Salagdoong Beach is hands down one of the best beaches in Siquijor, which is most famous for snorkeling around the colorful reefs, relaxing on the secluded beaches and epic cliff jumping!

Salagdoong Beach is attached to Salagdoong Beach Resort on the far east corner of Siquijor Island in the town of Maria.

From San Juan, it’s approximately a 50-minute drive to reach Salagdoong Beach and the entrance fee is 30 pesos per person plus an additional 20 pesos for parking.

Salagdoong Beach boasts two beautiful coves lined with coconut palms and white sand shorelines.

Just off the shore is a colorful reef that is great for snorkeling and swimming. 

I would have to say the slippery slide and cliff jumping at Salagdoong Beach is the main attraction and one for thrill-seekers!

Make sure you must visit during high tide to do these activities.

The cliff jumps at this beach were definitely up my alley! There are two diving boards here, one is around 5 meters and the other is 10 meters.

I recommend spending around 1 or 2 hours at Salagdoong Beach before continuing on to explore the rest of the island

Full Blog Post → Salagdoong Beach & Cliff Jump

SIQUIJOR BUTTERFLY SANCTUARY

The beautiful butterfly sanctuary in Siquijor was one of my favorite stops during my Siquijor trip and I recommend checking it out for yourselves.

The Siquijor Butterfly Sanctuary is located close to the highest point on the island at Cang-apa village between Lazi and Larena. From San Juan, it is approximately a 40-minute drive.

The butterfly park is run by a local man who welcomes guests to walk around the gardens and interact with the butterflies and other bugs inside his sanctuary.

It’s worth a quick stop to have a poke around and grab a fresh buko (coconut) before continuing on to the next spot!

QUISOL MOUNTAIN VIEW

Quisol Mountain View boasts one of the best panoramic viewpoints which overlooks Siquijor Island and its pristine coastlines.

This epic viewpoint is an off-the-beaten-path adventure that is easy to find and far away from the crowds at other tourist spots.

Quisol Mountain View is located at the top of the hill between Lazi and Larena.

It is approximately a 40-minute drive from San Juan to Quisol Mountain View. Here is the exact pin location on Google Maps.

There is no official parking lot or tourist desk at this location, so you will have to park your scooter on the side of the road and find the entry point which isn’t too hard to find.

You will see a large sign with the words ‘Quisol Mountain View’ written on it and make-shift stairs cut into the land leading up to the viewpoint. See the image below for reference.

It takes around 5 minutes to walk to the top of the mountain, and you’ll be rewarded with extensive views of Siquijor Island.

Unfortunately, it was a bit cloudy on the day I visited, but on a nice clear day, you will be able to see the neighboring islands of Cebu , Negros, and Bohol .

Keep Yo’ Sh*t Organized!

Packing cubes are a traveler’s best friend, perfect for organizing your shirts, pants, underwear, and more!

Shacke Pak Cubes make packing easier and leaves extra space in your bag to fit more essentials.

SIQUIJOR ITINERARY – DAY 3:

Day trip to apo island.

On the last day of your Siquijor itinerary, I highly recommend heading over to the incredible Apo Island , a volcanic island located 30 km off Siquijor’s southern coastline.

Notorious for its dive sites and snorkeling, an Apo Island day trip is one of the top-rated things to do.

To book an Apo Island Tour you can pop into one of the many dive shops and resorts located along Paliton Beach in San Juan and organize your trip through them at least one day in advance.

The Apo Island tour is an entire day of snorkeling with sea turtles, fish, sea snakes, and hundreds of colorful corals.

There are also a few small mountain peaks on Apo Island that you can hike.

See the list of accommodations below that I personally recommend:

Luxury:  Aloha Seaside Resort

Mid Range:  Nakabalo Guesthouse & Restaurant

Budget:  JJS Backpackers Village

FOR ALL OTHER PLACES TO STAY,  SEARCH ON BOOKING.COM

Getting around siquijor island.

There are a few different methods of transportation for getting around the island and they are by scooter, habal habal, tricycle, or Jeepney.

You can rent a scooter for as little as 250 pesos per day and make your way around Siquijor Island at your own pace.

When you arrive on the island by ferry, you’ll find that there are half a dozen scooter rental stores located at the Larena ferry terminal which is super convenient.

You can pick up a set of wheels for the time you plan to spend on the island.

Suppose you are not confident driving a scooter, the other option is to hail down a Jeepney, tricycle, or habal habal (motorbike taxi) along the main road in Larena and get a ride to San Juan, the main tourist hub on the island.

The cost depends on how good your bartering skills are, though for a 40-minute drive from Larena to San Juan in a Jeepney should be around 100 pesos, in a tricycle 500 pesos and habal-habal 350 pesos.

Note that these prices are rough estimates.

BEST TIME TO VISIT SIQUIJOR

Weather-wise, the best time to visit Siquijor is between April and July when temperatures are hot and barely any rainfall.

This is also high season in Siquijor, so expect to see many tourists during these months.

I recommend visiting on the shoulder months of the high season between November and March, which sees a bit of rainfall but usually only lasts for a couple of hours and the rest of the day is sunny.

Try to avoid the typhoon season in Siquijor which is between August and October.

WHAT TO PACK FOR THE PHILIPPINES

For most tourists visiting Siquijor from Dumaguete the best option would be the 7:20 am fast-craft. Choosing this option means you’ll be in Siquijor at around 8:20 am giving you an entire day to explore the island. Also, if you’re staying in Dumaguete and just want to visit Siquijor for the day, you should choose this option and then come back with the 6:00 pm fast craft.

Fast crafts depart Dumaguete Port at 7:20 am and 7:10 pm. You will need to be at the port in Dumaguete at least 30 minutes pre departure. That’s because you’ll need to do a sort of check-in and show your online booking.

If you chose open air or tourists class there is a 15kg baggage allowance. For business class you’ll get 20kg baggage allowance. If you have excess weight you may need to pay a fee. → book tickets here

Dumaguete to Siquijor – Cheapest Option

The cheapest option from Dumaguete to Siquijor is via the ordinary ferry. This option has a scheduled travel time of around 90 minutes depending on the sea conditions.

You should be aware that this is a fully enclosed boat. It’s small and seating is a bit packed and not particularly comfortable. Windows which should help circulate the air are closed at departure because otherwise the waves would come inside. This results in a hot, humid and sticky 1 hour 30 minute boat ride.

Tickets can be bought directly at the port in Dumaguete (online booking isn’t available) . If you are already in Dumaguete, then I suggest you buy your tickets a day ahead or just go early in the morning and buy whatever tickets are available.

San Juan is the main tourist area on the island and is the best area to stay in Siquijor. Below are the TOP 3 recommended places to stay on the beach in San Juan. You’ll be within walking distance to many places to eat, drink, chill and you can stumble out of bed and go take an early morning dip.

→further information about the ferries from Dumaguete to Siquijor is below.

If you’re on a budget and want to save money, my suggestion is to use the RORO (roll on – roll off) ferry. It’s a big vessel used to transport cars so it’s relatively slower than the fast craft and even the smaller passenger ferries. Tickets can only be bought from the ticket booth at Dumaguete port. Should you wish to go by car, the ticket needs to be purchased a day ahead of travel date.

While the the travel time is around 2 hours, it’s definitely a lot more enjoyable than the cheap ferries to Siquijor. At least you can enjoy a nice sea breeze on your way along with the views.

Montenegro Shipping Lines operates daily with departures at 7:00am – 10:00am – 2:00pm – 6:00pm.

Where is the Port of Dumaguete

The port of Dumaguete is located on the Northern end of Dumaguete promenade and is within walking distance from most of the tourist accommodations. 

If your accommodation is a bit too far away or you have luggage, you can wave down a tricycle. The cost for a tricycle will be anything between PHP40 and 100 ($0.83 – $2.08) depending on which part of town your accommodation is.

When entering the port of Dumaguete or while purchasing your tickets from the booth, you’ll be asked to pay a terminal fee. This is a pretty standard thing in all ports in the Philippines.

The terminal fee at the port of Dumaguete is ₱25 ($0.45) per person.

Siquijor is a big island and getting from one side to another can take over an hour. So it’s important to know the different options and areas that are best for you. Having the information about these areas will help you book an accommodation with ease and more confidently.

San Juan is the most popular part of Siquijor and is where 80% of tourists stay. Here you’ll be in the middle of everything with lots of restaurants to choose from, beach bars and accommodation for any budget. Most of the famous waterfalls are within a 10 to 30 minute drive from here. The most popular accommodations are literally on the beach offering direct access to the colorful underwater Tubod Marine Sanctuary. ↳ View all San Juan deals.

Here are our TOP 3 recommendations for all budgets:

Budget: Bougainvillea guesthouse Mid Range: Apo Diver Beach Resort High End: Coco Grove Beach Resort

Note: These accommodation are all beachfront and tend to sell out. → Booking ahead is recommended.

Lazi is the region where a number of waterfalls are located including Cambugahay falls. There’s a hanful of accommodation to choose from and the town is quiet with a limited amount of dining option. Keep in mind that you will still need transport to reach the waterfalls as accommodation options aren’t that close. ↳ View deals in Lazi .

Larena is a more laid back town on the west side of Siquijor. Here you’ll get to experience the more authentic side of living in Siquijor. Accommodation also tends to be cheaper and there’s a lot of local eateries. You’ll also find a Jollibee in Larena. Larena is also the port area and is home to the beautiful St. Francis of Assisi Church. ↳ View all deals in Larena

If you’re looking for a more secluded and serene environment, Maria is a good option. It’s known for its natural beauty, including waterfalls and lush landscapes. Accommodations here might be more limited, but you can find some eco-friendly resorts and guesthouses. ↳ View deals in Maria

Siquijor Island: DIY Guide + 2 Days Itinerary

The Philippines has numerous beaches and nature attractions, but if you’re looking for somewhere off-the-beaten track, then check out the island of Siquijor.

Siquijor is a favorite day trip destination among locals coming from Dumaguete City. Foreign tourists, meanwhile, love the island’s charm, its quiet and seclusion away from the hustle and bustle. Here you can spend your days lazing in a casual beachfront, exploring the jungles for waterfalls, and learn about the island’s interesting history and culture.

This island isn’t as commercialized as other provinces in the Visayan Region such as Cebu. One of the reasons it receives fewer visitors is its lack of own airport. To get to the island, you need to ride a ferry from the neighboring Dumaguete City.

Please enable JavaScript

This island province is a great destination to relax and unwind. Discover the best Siquijor tourist spots including beaches, waterfalls, cold springs, and heritage areas such as the century-old balete tree, Spanish-era churches, and more.

Without further ado, here’s our travel guide to Siquijor and a sample Siquijor itinerary for 2 days.

About Siquijor

My solo trip to siquijor, from dumaguete, how to get around, island tour, mountain tour, other tourist spots in siquijor, day trips from siquijor, 2 days siquijor itinerary, where to eat, where to stay in siquijor, siquijor budget and rates, reminders and tips, what to read next:.

Siquijor has an interesting history. It’s called the “Mystic Island” since it is said that the locals in Siquijor used to practice magic. There are also folklore stories of aswang (a mythic creature who flies and eats people) and mambabarang (a type of black witch).

Over the years, the island province has transformed its unique history to that of a healing destination, with the Healing Festival held in Holy Week every year . Visitors can still buy potions and voodoo dolls in souvenir shops, or even seek out faith healers and psychic readers, although they are now far and between.

Over the years, Siquijor has slowly been getting into the main tourists’ radar and becoming a favorite especially of foreign backpack travelers. It’s likely that tourist attractions such as Cambugahay Falls and Salagdoong Beach will get more crowded in the future, but if you want to get away from the scene you can always find a hidden waterfall or empty beach coves to visit.

I went on a 3-day solo trip to Siquijor in 2017. As a millennial, I love learning about the folk lore history of towns and the scary stories I used to hear about it as a kid. I also met a famous psychic healer, Anthony Vivero, who claims he had seen actual aswangs on a visit in the province.

I liked visiting the nature attractions in Siquijor, particularly Cambugahay Falls and Tulapos Marine Sanctuary which at that time wasn’t well known yet and where I snorkeled with baby sharks. I remembered being so giddy about seeing them in the wild that afterwards I texted my boyfriend about my experience.

Truth be told, I also had encountered issues on my visit as a solo female traveler. I booked a tricycle tour from the port in Siquijor and my guide made me deeply uncomfortable throughout the tour (such as when he suggested swimming in the falls with me). I also find the lack of public transport stifling. Since I do not have license (or know how to ride a motorcycle to be honest), I was dependent on tricycle rides and it was expensive paying for P300-500 to visit a tricycle from my resort.

In terms of the spiritual aspect of the island province, most of the witchcraft culture is already commercialized. You can find love potions and other items in shopping stalls near Balete Tree, for instance, and it wasn’t clear whether these are the authentic ones they used to make or just souvenir.

It has been years since I traveled here, so I hope that the island province has improved, particularly in terms of safety for solo female travelers like me.

How to get to Siquijor

Siquijor is connected by 2 major ferry routes: Dumaguete and Tagbilaran (Bohol) .

This is the easiest way to get to Siquijor. Dumaguete has an airport (Sibulan Airport) and from there you can ride a motorbike or tricycle to the port.

• From Dumaguete Port, ride a ferry to Siquijor. Regular ferry takes 2 hours (P140 per person) / fastcraft takes 1 hour (P210 per person).
• Schedule is from 5:30AM to 6PM. Same schedule applies for the return trip, so you have to be at the port before 6PM for the last trip.

There is a ferry that runs from Tagbilaran in Bohol to Dumaguete once a day. Travel time is 1.5 hour.

• Bohol to Siquijor: 10:20AM /  Siquijor to Bohol: 12:30PM

From Cebu City, it is also possible to get to Siquijor via Dumaguete. Travel time is 6-7 hours.

• From Cebu City, head to the South Bus Terminal. Ride a Ceres bus to Dumaguete which includes a roro ride. Get off at the last stop (Ceres Bus Terminal) in Dumaguete. Travel time is 4-5 hours, fare is P330 per person.
• From the terminal, ride a tricycle to Dumaguete Port.
• Same instruction as above.

Click here to book ferry tickets from Cebu to Siquijor .

Siquijor is an off-beaten destination and public transportation is limited. There are tricycles available, but they are more expensive compared to tricycles in the city.

• Option 1: Rent a motorbike . The cheapest way to get around is by renting a motorbike. Take note that a driver’s license is strictly required.
• Option 2: Book a local tour . You can also book tours from the local tour guides. They are stationed at Siquijor Port, so you can immediately start the tour after arrival. You can also pre-book the tours, especially if you come during summer.

Tours in Siquijor

There are 2 standard tours you can take in Siquijor: Island Tour and Mountain Tour .

For day trippers, the best option is the Island Tour because it covers the main attractions in Siquijor. The Island Tour can be done in half a day, depending on your pace and how many stops you want to make. Each stop takes 20-30 minutes to get to. In my case, it took me almost a whole day since I stayed for a while in Cambugahay Falls and snorkeled at Tulapos Marine Sanctuary.

If you’re planning on exploring your own, you can still follow the routes in the tours.

Here are the Siquijor tourist spots that you can visit during the Island Tour.

• St. Francis of Assisi Church . The oldest church in the island, built in 1774. It is located just outside the Siquijor Port, with a “Welcome to Siquijor” signage. Selfies and Touch-Down posts are mandatory.

• Lazi Church . An 18th-century church, also known as San Isidro Labrador Church. The church has wide ceilings and huge stained-glass windows. A must-visit if you like historic buildlings.
• Capilay Spring Park . A public pool with refreshing water where locals swim and hangout.
• Century-Old Balete Tree . One of the most popular attractions in Siquijor, this balete tree is said to be 400 years old. Beside it is a small pool where you can enjoy a fish spa. There are also stores nearby selling souvenirs and other items such as voodoo dolls and love potion bottles filled with herbs.

• Cambugahay Falls . Cambugahay Falls is definitely one of the best nature attractions in Siquijor. It is a 3-tiered waterfall where you can swim and use a tarzan swing. The water is usually a shade of light blue, except on rainy days when it is more green-ish but still clear for swimming. The trail is established, so hiring a guide is optional.

• Salagdoong Beach . Salagdoong Beach is an Insta-famous spot in Siquijor. It’s located inside a private resort, so you have to pay an entrance fee and rent a cottage for a day trip if you want. It has beach coves and dive boards 20 feet and 35 feet high. Beside Salagdoong Beach, you can find the Salagdoong Forest Reserve. It’s a man-made forest with molave trees.

• Guiwanon Spring Park . A mangrove protection and preservation area. I stayed here for a few minutes and watched some kids swim in the water, but in general it’s not noteworthy. In my opinion, you can skip this entirely.
• Paliton Beach . A laid-back, white-sand beach. It’s said to be the best beachfront in Siquijor. However, Siquijor does not have very good beaches in general if you want to swim and the said can be found about Paliton Beach. It’s also a public beach and, in my visit, I found some trash in the area.

• Hapitanan Cafe . A new tourist spot in Siqujor, where you can have a photo taking a broomstick ride. This is a must-stop especially for the young-at-heart.
• Dumalaay Boulevard . Located in Larena, this boulevard is a nice place to watch the sunset before leaving the island.

The Mountain Tour involves trekking and caving. There are only 2 places to go to and the tour takes around 4 hours, but it can be exhausting.

• Mount Bandilaan . One of the highest points in Siquijor. Trek to the summit takes about 30 minutes. There is a watch tower at the top, surrounded by the mountain forest. There is an established trail so you can trek by yourself.
• Cantabon Cave . This is an almost-kilometer long cave in Barangay Cantabon with gorgeous stalactites and stalagmites.

Here are other places you can visited in Siquijor. In standard tours, these aren’t normally included so you have to request for them specifically.

• Lugnason Falls . One of the “hidden” waterfalls in Siquijor, Lugnason Falls is smaller than Cambugahay Falls but it’s perfect for those who prefer a quieter swimming hole.

• Tulapos Marine Sanctuary . This is one of the most enjoyable places I found in Siquijor. Here you can snorkel to see corals and barracudas, turtles and black-tipped reef sharks. There is also a giant clam area. This is where I first saw baby sharks in the wild, so I was overjoyed during our stop here. Hiring a guide is advisable so you’ll know which way to go.

• Tubod Marine Sanctuary . Another great place to snorkel, with a variety of tropical fishes and corals.

There are also beaches in Siquijor you can explore on your own including Minalulan Beach , Kagusuan Beach and Solangon Beach .

Some resorts in Siqujor arrange day trips to Apo Island in Dauin . This is a small island where you can spot sea turtles in the wild and snorkel in coral gardens. I had a lot of fun in Apo Island and I highly recommend this experience.

Here’s a sample 2 days Siquijor itinerary for a weekend visit.

You can find a number of local restaurants near resorts and homestays, and some in-house dining options in resorts as well. There aren’t a lot of restaurants on the roadside since most of the island comprises mountain forest.

Here are some of the most recommended eats in Siquijor.

• Larena’s Triad Coffee Shop . Decent and reasonably priced food. This coffee shop is located on the mountainside and offers the best view in Siquijor.
• Baha Bar and Dagsa Restobar . Great options for seafood.
• Luca Loko . Excellent food with vegan options such as buddha and poke bowls.
• BBQ grills near Aloha Grill . This is one of the cheapest places to eat in Siquijor. A series of unnamed BBQ grills with the food laid out so you can pick what you want to eat.

You can also visit a bakery to watch how pan de bisaya is made.

There are several mountain and beach resorts in Siquijor and it’s relatively cheap especially if you’re traveling with someone.

Here are the best stays in Siquijor:

• Luxury: Coco Grove Beach Resort
• Midrange :   Infinity Heights Resort | Charisma Beach Resort
• Budget : Monkey Business Bungalows

Here are the current rates ( Updated as of 2020 ):

Siquijor is a budget-friendly destination. If you’re visiting here for a weekend with someone, a budget of P3000+ above would suffice.

Here are some reminders and tips before your travel Siquijor:

• Bring enough cash. There are only few ATMs in the island.
• Bring a reusable container or bag. Not only for sustainable purposes — there is a penalty fee for using plastic.
• Bring an insect repellent especially if you are staying overnight.
• If you want ocean views, stay in the beachfront resorts and homestays in San Juan. Other towns in Lazi are located far from the ocean.
• Based on my experience, if you’re a solo traveler like me, it might be best to pre-book a tour from a recommended guide. Also, bring your license so you can rent a motorbike to visit places outside of the standard tours.

Dumaguete Siquijor Itinerary: 7 Days in the Philippines

The links below may be affiliate links. If you shop through them, I’ll earn a commission at no additional cost to you. For full information, please see my  disclaimer  here.

Planning a dive trip to the Philippines and not quite sure about where to go and what to do? Here’s a Dumaguete Siquijor itinerary for 7 days in the Philippines.

I have visited these two provinces of the Philippines twice with my usual dive buddy, Jem, but in shorter durations and with lesser dives. So, I decided to come up with this longer Dumaguete Siquijor Itinerary that will allow you to experience both diving and other activities known in the area for the span of 1 week.

If it will be your first time to visit my country, do check out my  comprehensive guide to traveling and scuba diving in the Philippines .

Below you will find a day to day schedule with helpful links and tips on how you too can do the same Dumaguete Siquijor Itinerary.

Please note that I specifically made this Dumaguete Siquijor itinerary with scuba diving in mind. After all this is a scuba diving blog!

If you are not a scuba diver yet, why the hell not?! Just kidding 🙂

For non-diver who want to use this itinerary, you can opt to replace the daily dive schedule with other activities that you enjoy instead, like snorkeling, beach bumming, or hiking.

You can also look into a scuba diving trial also known as Discover Scuba Diving. I highly recommend diving in these parts of the Philippines.

DAY 1: Travel to Negros Oriental

The Dumaguete Siquijor Itinerary starts in Negros Oriental.

There are no direct international flights to Negros Oriental. Most likely you will be coming from either Manila or Cebu and landing in Dumaguete Sibulan Airport.

From the airport, you can go straight to Dauin where most of the diving will take place.

Check in to your resort of choice. Here are some suggestions on where to stay in Dauin:

Depending on what time you arrive, you can just take the rest of the day to rest or just chill or start diving already!

DAY 2: Scuba Diving in Dauin

One of the best things you can do in Negros Oriental is to go scuba diving. If you have not done muck diving before, Dauin is a great place to do it.

You can find more information about diving in Dauin in my previous post about it.

You can do three dives during the day and then a night dive in Dauin with this 7-day Philippine itinerary I made. If that is not enough you can squeeze in a few more dives the day before or the day after.

DAY 3: Scuba Diving in Apo Island

Another special feature of Dauin is Apo Island. This marine protected island is popular not only to scuba divers but also to snorkelers or freedivers. Here you will find a healthy and thriving reef.

Ocean lovers enjoy visiting this part of Negros Oriental because it’s one of those places where you are sure to spot sea turtles!

You can read my travel and dive guide to Apo Island to find out more about this amazing location.

Most dive shops do two dives around Apo Island, but some might offer up to three dives depending on the package you choose.

DAY 4: Travel to Siquijor

After having your fill of diving in Dauin, you can make your way back to Dumaguete City and catch a ferry to Siquijor Island. There are ferries that cross between the two islands as early 5 AM.

In the morning, you can check out from your accommodations in Dauin and then head straight to the Ferry Terminal. You should arrive in Siquijor by noon to check in to your accommodation of choice.

You can check out Agoda.com for possible locations on where you can stay in Siquijor

The afternoon can be spent just relaxing. If you’re excited, you can go diving too.

DAY 5: Scuba Diving in Siquijor

Day 5 is more diving for you! You can read my travel and dive guide to Siquijor if you need more information about it.

You can also do three dives in the morning and one night dive in Siquijor. The itinerary I made is very much flexible. So if you feel four dives is not enough, you can squeeze in more dives the day before or after.

DAY 6: Explore Siquijor

The island of Siquijor is gaining popularity among travelers because of the places you can visit this island. Aside from scuba diving, there are many tourist spots you can visit. Of course, you can spend the day with more diving, but Siquijor has other non-diving activities.

What we did was hire a tricycle to take us to these places. You can also rent a motorbike if you have the license to use one.

Aside from these places you can also visit the following:

• Century-Old Balete Tree with Fish Spa
• Cantabon Cave
• Lugnason Falls
• Paliton Beach

If you want to experience a different aspect of Filipino culture, ask the locals where you can visit the witchcraft and healers of Siquijor.

I recommend that after you are done exploring Siquijor on Day 6, you check out of your accommodations and take a ferry back to Dumaguete.

This is to give you some wiggle room in case the weather turns bad. The last thing you want is to be stranded in Siquijor and miss your flight the following day.

If you decided to head to Dumaguete, you can check out these locations on where you can stay in the city.

DAY 7: Explore Dumaguete

Dumaguete is the city of Negros Oriental and quite frankly the best thing I can think of that you can do here is eating. Every time Jem and I were in Dumaguete, we didn’t really explore the city other than go restaurants.

Here are some of my favorite Dumaguete-based restaurants.

• Rizal Boulevard- in the afternoon and until evening stalls open up and you can try different street food
• House of Silvanas- bakery well-known for their silvanas, sans rival cake and other delicious goodies
• Sta. Teresa Resto- affordable Filipino comfort food
• Kri- Filipino food with a twist (fusion)
• Jo’s Chicken Inato- grilled Chicken marinated in special sauce

Now, if you are into historical and cultural activities there are actually places you can visit such as:

• Siliman University’s Anthropological Museum
• St Catherine of Alexandria Cathedral- the oldest stone church on the island.
• Campanario de Dumaguete- one of the oldest heritage landmarks of Negros

You can book a half-day Dumaguete Herritage tour if this is something that interests you.

After touring or eating your way around Dumaguete city, you can head over to your next destination! If you’re flying out, don’t forget to book your flight at least 18 hours after your last dive.

What to pack for Dumaguete-Siquijor Diving

Here is the standard dive gear I bring while diving in the Philippines.

My Scuba Diving Gear Regulator: Scubapro MK25 Evo , C300 and C200 2nd Stage BCD: Aqualung Axiom Mask: TUSA M-212 Freedom Ceos Snorkel: TUSA SP-170 Platina Hyperdry II Booties: Poseidon Pink Dive Boots Fins: Problue Wetsuit: Seavenger Vest Hoodie: Scubapro Hybrid Hooded Vest Dive Watch: Suunto D4i Novo Dive Knife: Aqualung Blunt Tip Knife Dive Leggings and Rash: Blue Adaptation Coral Sea Fan My Underwater Camera Gear Underwater Camera: Canon G7X Mark II Underwater Camera Housing: Fantasea FG7XII Video Lights: Big Blue AL1200XP Underwater Action Camera: GoPro Hero9 360 Camera: Insta360 X3 > Canon G7X Mark II full review > Insta360 X3 underwater camera review > Scuba diving camera recommendations for beginners.

Well presented. Helped me decide where I should go on my first trip ;)

Thank you :)

Hi, I'm planning my trips in Dumaguete. Is it possible to squeeze Manjuyod Sandbar trip as well as Casarroro falls in one day? I noticed that you did it in your itinerary. Is it super rush? I was thinking of doing Cassaroro Falls on the 3rd day morning, basically waking up early for the trip. Any idea what time does the Habal-Habal starts working? I need to be back in Dumaguete by 11-ish since my boat ride to Siquijor is at 12.50 pm. Thank you

Hi there! It's not super rush, Casaroro Falls is just 30-45 minutes away from Dumaguete and it's easy to get there. You can leave Manjuyod around 12 noon and be back at Dumaguete around 2PM then you could go to Casaroro and Pulang Bato. If you want to do it on your 3rd day, just contact ahead some of the habal-habal drivers and inform them that you will be going on that time.

On the off chance that you don't have room schedule-wise or spending plan to go far, contact region council of business or tourism workplaces inside a day's drive of your home for their logbook of occasions. www.ub-cool.com

What to expect when visiting Siquijor

Siquijor is one of the Philippines’ most magical islands, literally. It is home to a lot of local legends — some spooky, some fascinating. And if you talk to the right people, you might even learn about some of these stories on your visit!

The island itself looks like a fairytale land, with all its golden beaches, turquoise waters, 3-tiered waterfalls, and the 400-year-old “enchanted”  balete  tree. And because it enjoys fewer tourists compared to other nearby islands, you can have a more intimate time with nature in Siquijor.

Ferry schedule from Dumaguete to Siquijor (via Siquijor Pier)

Ferry schedule from dumaguete to siquijor (via larena pier), we recommend booking your tickets online.

Dumaguete Pier is infamous for its long ticket queues and fixers selling overpriced tickets. There is also no official ticketing booth — each ferry company has its own unorganized ticket booth outside the port.

And from personal experience, we can tell you that more often than not, you’ll have to queue for tickets under the blazing sun. If you’re travelling on a weekend or in summer when tickets sell out really fast, there’s a chance you’ll have to wait a few hours at the port for the next available ferry.

For these reasons, we recommend that you pre-book your ferry tickets from Dumaguete to Siquijor online.

Only Oceanjet is available for online booking for this route. It’s a bit more expensive than the other companies with fares from 460 PHP ($8), but it’s also the fastest. This saves you time not just on the ferry journey, but also on the waiting and queueing time at the port.

Tickets for Aleson Shipping and Montenegro Shipping are only available at the pier. For inquiries, you can try contacting them beforehand through their Facebook pages, although it’s worth noting that they are not very responsive.

Arrival station

There are two arrival points in Siquijor: Siquijor Pier and Larena Pier . Either way, you’ll need a transfer to your hotel.

Some accommodations offer free pick-up so make sure you inquire beforehand. Otherwise, tricycles are easily available from both ports. A ride to the tourist centre in San Juan starts at 250 PHP ($4.30) from Siquijor Pier and 500 PHP ($8.70) from Larena Pier.

Bonjour, A quelle jetée arriverons-nous à Siquijor en prenant le ferry Oceanjet à Dumaguete ? Est-ce à Siquijor Pier ou à Larena Pier ? Merci pour la réponse.

Hi Cathy, OceanJet ferries arrive at Siquijor Pier . From here, you can take a tricycle to your accommodation. Or you can ask your hotel to have you picked up by a private car. Enjoy Siquijor!

PS J’ai répondu à ce commentaire en anglais, donc d’autres nationalités peuvent également bénéficier de cette info. Je recommande d’utiliser Google Translate pour le lire en français.

La traversée avec monténégro lines est de 234 pesos +15 pesos pour l’accès au port.

Hi Letort! Thanks a lot for confirming these rates for Montenegro Lines and the port. We hope you had a great time in Siquijor. Safe travels!

Hi! Do i have to book online or can i buy the ticket the same day?

Hi Shara! You can buy your tickets at the port on the same day. But tickets for the Dumaguete-Siquijor route usually sell out fast. So we advise you to be at the port early. If you’re travelling on a weekend though, or don’t want the hassle of going to the port early, then it’s best to book your tickets online through BookAway. Thanks and safe travels!

The ferry schedules updated as of June 2022?

The Oceanjet schedules are updated as of June 2022. They’re also the easiest to book (albeit a bit pricy) as Oceanjet is the only one available for online booking. As for the 2 other ferry companies – Montenegro and Aleson – we have yet to get their replies for their latest schedules. Thanks and safe travels!
