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.
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

For this trip, we were picked up by George, he is one of Jorich’s colleague.

The restaurant is a bit attractive hahaha that’s why we have decided to eat here. The place was cold, just right for the hot weather in Siquijor. The Staff were accommodating, and the food was pleasant.

Around this time, we started our coastal tour
Simbahan ng Siquijor (Church of Siquijor) and Welcome to Siquijor Sign
I love Siquijor sign
Paliton Beach
My gosh! This beach is soooo nice! The serenity is good!
However, the beach has a lot of leaves and twigs. But… that’s okay 🙂
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.
There is also this mini restaurant beside the man-made lake.
Old Balete Tree and fish spa
For just Php 10.00 you can dip your feet and enjoy the fish spa just below the Old Balete Tree.
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.
Simbahan ng Lazi (Church of Lazi) and Lazi Covenant
This church was built in 1857 and is still being maintained today.
The covenant is just in front of the church
We love the walls of the covenant so we had our photo opportunity.
Triad View Deck
You can get a good view of Siquijor Island by going here. There is a viewing deck and a restaurant.

There’s not much to see here, there are flowers and butterflies inside a cage made out of net which measures approximately 70 sqm. The caretaker explained that this is private that’s why the entrance fee is expensive.
