Siquijor is known for waterfalls, cliff jumps, and a bit of black-magic history! 

We loved how chilled it felt compared to other spots. It's a bit underdeveloped compared to Cebu or even Bohol, but it’s growing fast.

The main things Siquijor is famous for are:

  • Cambugahay Falls, tiered cascades with rope swings and caves

  • Old Enchanted Balete Tree, a 400+ year-old tree with fish spa

  • Cliff jumping, our fave spot was Pitogo Cliff

  • Tulapos Marine Sanctuary, for the best snorkelling in the area (with barracudas!)

You can check most highlights on a full-day tour like this one, 100% worth it if your time is limited

HOW LONG TO STAY?

2-3 days is perfect for Siquijor. It’s a small island and you can check most of the highlights in that time.  

GETTING THERE & MOVING AROUND

  • From Bohol: Ferry to Siquijor, about 2-3 hrs (₱505–₱878).

  • From Cebu/Manila: Fly to Dumaguete, then ferry across.

  • Getting around: Scooter rental (₱300–₱500/day), tuk-tuks (₱10–₱30/ride), multicabs (₱150–₱300/day).

ACCOMMODATION

Siquijor is still underdeveloped, which is part of its charm. Don’t expect big resorts or hotels, it’s mostly small guesthouses, beach huts, and homestays.

Here are some recommendations: 

Tip: We always book in places with heaps of reviews, we’ve never been scammed in the Philippines because of that.
