Siquijor Itinerary (Part 2 of our 8-day Dumaguete, Siquijor, Cebu Trip)

Here is the continuation of our tour… Siquijor here we come!!!! Here is our Siquijor Island Itinerary! Siquijor Itinerary (Part 2 of our 8-day Dumaguete, Siquijor, Cebu Trip) !

SIQUIJOR – COASTAL TOUR

Day 4 – November 9, 2017, Thursday

5:30 AM

We checked out of the hotel, hopped on a tricycle (Php 10 per person) and went to Dumaguete Port to ride a boat to Siquijor.

5:40 AM

It took us around 10 minutes to arrive in the port. We planned to take Delta Ferry at 6AM. However, GL Shipping (a big trigger boat) will depart at 5:45 AM, so we took this boat instead. Cost per person is Php 130 and terminal fee is Php 15. The boat did not depart on time, I think it depart around 6AM.

Jaylan Ship - GL Shipping Lines

7:00 AM

Around this time we arrived in Siquijor port. HELLO SIQUIJOR!

We rented a van c/o Jorich Marabellon of Siquijor Island Motorbike for Rent and Island Tours

Capilay’s Spring Park

It’s a simple park with a man-made lake. During our visit, there are some kids who are keeping off the heat by swimming in the lake.

Old Balete Tree and fish spa     

Old Balete Tree

For just Php 10.00 you can dip your feet and enjoy the fish spa just below the Old Balete Tree.

There are fishes which are as big as my feet

I was scared at first because there are big fishes, but don’t worry because they are gentle.

BONUS STOP!

We also stopped by a mini eatery wherein we can have our pictures taken riding a broom.

Siquijor is believed to be home of the witches haha (but there are none) so they just created this witty attraction.

I forgot what is this eatery but if you tour around the island you can immediately see this. You can also ask your guide to take you there.

Broom Ride
Come on Busy I’ll take you wherever you want to go 🙂

 

Simbahan ng Lazi (Church of Lazi) and Lazi Covenant

This church was built in 1857 and is still being maintained today.
