This article includes a list of Siquijor Resorts and Hotels; pieces Information on How to get to the Island from various places; and List of Tourist Spots. Moreover, we also added relevant links to various destinations as well as Tour Packages available in the area.
Salagdoong Beach Resort
Siquijor Island also known as the Mystical Island is an ideal place for tourists and vacationists. The serene island is blessed with scenic beauty, archaic churches, and natural attractions. The minute I landed at the port of the place, I already fell in love with its unspoiled environment and the warm hospitality of its people.
You can experience a coastal tour of the island in just one daytime. Legend tells that the island rose from the ocean during a tremendous thunderstorm cited as evidence is fossils and shells which can even be found in Mount Bandila-an, island’s highest point. While the coastline is mostly white sand beaches, the interior of the island is mountainous.
The whole island was declared a marine reserve and tourist zone in 1978 by virtue of Proclamation No. 1810. No wonder why many nature lovers and adventurers were enticed to explore its numerous caves, springs, and rivers, and to climb up Mount Bandilaan, the highest peak at the center of the island. For tourists who simply want to lay back and relax like me, the island provides a long stretch of beautiful white-sand beaches.

HOW TO GET TO SIQUIJOR ISLAND, PHILIPPINES
There are two ferry terminals on the westward side of the island: town and Larena. At the end of the pier of each, you’ll find some touts tricycles to bring you to your hotel or resorts.
There are several passenger boats daily from Dumaguete to Siquijor Island town and some larger Roro boats There are also several boats a week between Tagbilaran on Bohol and Larena. I advise you get hold of the Roro because it’s more stable on rough seas.
In our desire to make it a little more easier for you, we have listed below several shipping companies traveling to the island and their schedules. Please take note that they may change their voyage schedule depending on the sea conditions.

Getting around Siquijor via Tricycle [ Siquijor island Tourist Spots + Travel Guide + Resorts/ Hotel ]
GETTING AROUND
Rent a Motorbike. It is possible to rent a motorbike for 280- 350PHP/day (gas not included) from either pier or in some shops near hotels. Before hiring, check if helmets are included and if the price per day means 24 hours or i.e. 8 AM to 6 PM (some resorts require you to return the motorbike before sunset). You don’t need to leave your passport with the tenant, they accept even just an Identification Card.
Hire a tricycle. The most popular and budget-friendly way of transit around the island is the tricycle. Tricycles are now using a tariff system with fixed prices for tourists. They appeared much more expensive than on other islands. But what is good about this fixed tariff is that any tourist won’t feel that they were taken advantage of the fare.
Start on a Jeepney. While it would take time for you to get to your destination, jeepneys (not very frequent) run between the principal towns along the island.
Van Rentals. For bigger groups, van rentals are available right at the seaports. They also have a fixed tariff for this.

HAPPY TRIP TIPS
- Summer is the best time to visit the island, so don’t forget to bring your sunglasses, sunscreen, and other skin protection.
- While there were no mosquitos during my visit, it would still be best to bring some insect repellant lotion.
- The place doesn’t have much to eat especially if you are doing a tour. So It would be best to slip some snack items in your bag.
- Bring bottled water when traveling around the island. I have a very sensitive stomach so I don’t drink water just anywhere when I travel.
- Bring your medicine kit.
- Cellular phones are essential when traveling especially when there are emergencies. So don’t forget to bring some power banks.
- Travel light, remember the mode of transportation in Siquijor island is by Tricycle.
- If you wish to navigate the Island by yourself using a rented motorbike, make sure that you inform the hotel of your itinerary.

Philippines has never been on my bucket list, but now that I read your post, it seems like it could be paradise!
There’s so many places in the Philippines I haven’t been to yet and this is one of them.
I really want to see Siquijor Island! It’s one of the places I haven’t visited yet in the Philippines! Ganda ng Pilipinas!
I had no idea The Phillipines were so picturesque and beautiful! Looks like a great place to vacation!
We are planning to visit Philippines next year and I will keep this in mind.
Such a ton of information for people thinking of traveling to Siquijor. This island is paradise perfect! I would choose this over Boracay anyday!
If you’re coming from the beach Lugnason falls is the perfect place to cool down. We were the only ones in the area when we visited and got the whole place to ourselves. The basin is very swim-able, with waters very cool, clear and blue. It’s around 5-6 ft. deep but gets deeper in the middle. Locals would climb up the limestone walls and jump. You could also take your lunch here. There are tables and small cottages available for groups.
Great post. I recently visited Siquijor and indeed this place is a paradise. If you want to relax and have some time alone, you should try visiting Siquijor. Thanks for sharing such amazing and informative post!
Hi there, any idea for M/V SIQUIJOR ferry Iligan to Lazi Siquijor? can i have a contact number please.
Thanks,
Hi Sir. May i ask contact numbers for M/V iligan to siquijor island. Because we are from cagayan de oro city. We are looking for the fastest also cheaper ways to go to siquijor
This blog site became one of my guides in my DIY tour of Siquijor. But there was hardly any mention of warning for theft at different tour sites in the island. Have heard of a theft case at Cambugahay falls but I fell prey to thieves at Lilibeth’s Pan de Bisaya. I had great experience eating but went home scratching my head.
Jayes, I am so sorry to hear that. I haven’t heard of any during my trip. But maybe just like in any other places, we must be careful next time. But thank you for this message, this would help future travelers in Siquijor.
Hey Jojo!
I was in Siquijor earlier this year but only spent a couple of hours. Will be coming back early next year!
Is riding a motorbike safe (road conditions and what not?)
Great read 🙂
Mick
The safest place I drived in the Philippines got all around the island, and also so cheap, rented a motorcycle 350 php a day.

Yay, go and enjoy!
Er. Um. YES PLEASE! I would NOT say NO to taking a trip to this magical destination!!
Great post. I recently visited Siquijor and indeed this place is a paradise. If you want to relax and have some time alone, try visiting Siquijor. I’d also like to ad on your post that there is now an online booking store where you can book a motorbike or scooter ahead before going to this small island. At least you are sure that you have something to use to tour around when you visit Siquijor.
Magnificent Photos! I am totally convinced now to go there with my friends! Is Calipay Spring Park a hot or cold spring? Does it feel like you are surrounded by nature like the ones at Hidden Valley Laguna? Hope to enjoy my trip here soon! Thanks bro!
Thanks Ryan, I have not been to Laguna yet. But it’s in my bucket list 🙂 Yes, the spring is cold 🙂
calipay spring is a cold spring,the good news is thats free,yes there is no registration to pay and you will enjoy the calipay spring. on the top of the hill is the san juan parish church
