• Siquijor Day Tours

The tiny island of Siquijor is one of the many islands in the Visaya Region, easily accessible from Cebu, Bohol or Dumaguete. Its small size doesn’t project on the large number of attractions waiting for you there. There are plenty of hidden beaches, the most beautiful sets of waterfalls, and also healers and witches as the local folks believe.

Another great benefit of Siquijor’s small size is that you can easily explore the island without spending long hours of traveling. You can circle the whole island in only a few hours. Therefore the tours we offer below are packed with a relatively high number of activities in each. Also, because of it, some of our clients prefer to rent a motorbike and follow our tour itineraries in a “do it yourself” fashion instead. Inquire Now About These Tours Our Siquijor tours include the best available transportation and most professional tour guides. We aim to deliver the best experience of this island. You’ll also notice that some tours include the same spots, like Mt. Bandilaan for example. As some attractions are on the way to several others we might include the same place in different itineraries, as we realize that most people won’t take all the Siquijor tours we offer, but we’d like to give a broader experience still. If you notice that it’s the case with your chosen tours, please notify us and we could cut one of the itineraries a little short, to allow you to spend more time in other locations.

What to do?

Siquijor offers a lot of activities within the island itself. One of the most beautiful waterfalls in the Philippines, Cambugahay Falls makes an amazing few hours stop. Mt. Bandilaan (632m) is the tallest mountain on the island and offers great views from the lookout point on its peak, after an easy hike. There are many small beaches, perfect for a swim and sunbathing, including two cliff jumps of 7 and 11 meters. If you want to experience some of the local “mysticism”, visiting a bolo-bolo healer, a term for a local witch doctor/shaman that has healing powers and more, is an interesting cultural experience.

Siquijor doesn’t have any island hopping tours, so leave these for other destinations in the Philippines . We do offer one trip outside of Siquijor, and that is a day trip to Apo Island . This tour isn’t always available, so it’s best to coordinate it as early as possible. We offer it only to clients who purchase a full package from us, that include all accommodation, transportation and tours.

Siquijor Island Tour

This tour is one of the two whole day trips we offer in Siquijor Island. It takes you into the island itself, and leaves Siquijor’s beaches out. As it’s a whole day trip, from 9:30am to 4:00pm, we’ll be able to cover all of the best spots of the island. We find this tour the best for you if you’re planning to take only one tour in Siquijor because you lack the time, or want to explore Paliton and Salagdong Beaches on your own, on another day.

We’ll take you to see the Old Enchanted Balete tree, a local ficus that is believed to be 400 years old, and is said to be inhabited by spirits. From there we’ll visit the biggest convent in Asia, St. Isidore Church and Convent in Lazi, before we’ll arrive in the famous Cambugahay Waterfalls where we’ll have lunch and swim. Cambugahay waterfalls are among the most beautiful in the Philippines. We’ll then visit Cantabon Cave, full of stalagmites and stalactites and even an underwater stream, upon returning to your hotel.

An optional stop which we think is highly worthwhile is to a Bolo-bolo Healer, also called locally as herbolario. If the local shaman will be available, and you will want to make the stop (which costs an additional “talent fee”, you’ll undertake a purifying ceremony that supposedly cures you from ailment, jinxes and the evil eye. We will also visit minor spots as listed in the short schedule below:

Inclusions: Best available transportation, driver/guide, entrances and fees. Exclusions:  Tip

Price: from 60 USD per person. (must be 8 persons to book this price - for more info kindly send us a message)

Siquijor Coastal Tour

This is the second whole day tour we offer in Siquijor, and as you could see, it overlaps in some parts with the Siquijor Island Tour. Therefore it will be redundant to combine these two tours, and it’s better to choose one of the whole day tours, with another short tour below instead. The Siquijor Coastal Tour with another short trip to Cantabon Cave will grant you the ultimate Siquijor experience.

The tour starts the same as the tour above, with visits to the Enchanted Balete Tree and St. Isidore Conven, and then a trip to Cambugahay Waterfalls. After Cambugahay we will visit the Traditional Healer if wanted and available, and then we will visit Salagdong Beach, where you could experience the 7 and 11 meters tall cliff jumps, and swim around in this popular beach. Then just before coming back to your hotel, St. Francis of Assisi Church, similarly to the tour above.

Inclusions: Best available transportation, driver/guide, entrances and fees. Exclusions: Lunch, Tip

Price: from 25 USD per person. (must be 8 persons to book this price - for more info kindly send us a message)

Cambugahay Waterfalls Short Trip

This trip is more suitable for people on a short vacation who don’t have much time. Or if you just want to visit Cambugahay Falls without anything else, this is also a great tour for you. As the name of the tour implies, this tour is shorter and starts at 1:30pm, when we’ll pick you up from your hotel, and take you to the Old Enchanted Balete Tree and St. Isidore Church and convent. Then we’ll go to Cambugahay Waterfalls until 4:30pm, when we’ll start to head back to your hotel.

It is possible to leave for this tour earlier, and spend more time in the waterfalls for an additional 10 USD per hour. Please let us know in advance that this is your intent, so we could make sure that you’ll get the most out of this short trip. The time frame of this tour is already the shortest we recommend in order to enjoy Cambugahay Falls, and shortening it isn’t an option.

Price: from 15 USD per person. (must be 8 persons to book this price - for more info kindly send us a message)

Cantabon Cave and Mt. Bandilaan Trip

This is another short trip we offer in Siquijor, and is perfect in combination with the Siquijor Coastal Tour. Combining these two will cover all the best spots in Siquijor, and will take only one and a half days, leaving you enough time to relax and enjoy your resort. We’ll start at 1:00pm from your hotel, and go directly to Cantabon Cave, where we’ll explore its huge chamber and witness its wonderful stalactite and stalagmite formations and the underground water stream.

Be sure to bring proper shoes or hiking sandals, as well as a swimsuit. After we finish the caving activity, we’ll go to Mt. Bandilaan Peak (a short hike is included), enjoy nature and get a great view of Siquijor Island.

How to plan my Siquijor tour package

We think that you should spend about three nights in Siquijor, and take one of our longer tours (either the island or coastal tour). After you decide which longer tour you prefer, you can add a short tour to Cantabon Cave or to one of the many beaches Siquijor has to offer. In our opinion, the Coastal tour combined with the short Cantabon Cave tour is the best combination, but we are aware that you might have different preferences, and therefore offer a wider range of tours you can choose from.

Even though it might seem complicated, Siquijor is a small island, and covering all attractions should be rather easy, even if you have only 2 nights on the island. Feel free to consult with us if you want us to arrange your Siquijor Tour Package by inquiring. Siquijor Island is usually best combined with nearby islands such as Cebu or Bohol , but it can be a part of any vacation to the Philippines.

You could read our guide for planning your vacation in the Philippines , or inquire immediately and let us build a custom itinerary just for you.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

P.S. Planning a trip to Siquijor? Don’t forget to read our Dumaguete-Siquijor Itinerary .

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.

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.

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.

He was flirting with my wife throughout tour and tried exchanging Facebook information with her in front of our 3 sons, YES IN FRONT OF OUR 3 SONS. My wife is also to blame for this because she strung a long. I confronted both about their behavior and had to cut the tour short. What was supposed to be a memorable vacation turned out to be the worst but also a learning experience for me because now I know what I don't want in a partner.
