We woke up early in the morning to do a Siquijor day tour.

From Harold’s Mansion we walk about 5 to 8 minutes to the port.

There’s a 5:45am schedule (GL Shipping Lines) for Php 150 we took this one as we already there.
(There’s also cheaper option Montenegro lines Php 130 departing at 7am)

Travel time is around 1 hour.

We rent a motorcycle for Php 300. At first they will offer you Php 350 but we haggle it.
Some backpackers even rent it for just Php 250. (So haggle all you can :P)

We took our breakfast at Tori’s backpackers. I highly suggest that you get there egg + ham and rice for only Php 70

For much cheaper option (you can take a carinderia or joel eatery for as low as Php 50)

and we proceed to our itinerary —

*You can side trip to paliton beach if you like (it’s the first you can see when you open your google maps offline)

We passed/circled the capilay spring park as we are not really into park’s
(and this park is quite small)

We then proceed to (Enchanted Balete Tree with fishes under it)

Cliff dive at their 2 boards or slide (which is under maintenance when we get there)

made at imgflip.com — My “I am freaking afraid to pose on the edge of the cliff board. PS: It’s freaking windy on that time of the day. Feels like you can get push by the wind” PS: Sorry ang lapad ko! HAHA! #NoShame

The Boyfriend is YOLO-ing even if the sea is very rough. For Me it’s a No-No Moment. Not today.

We spend around an hour before we go back to the port. Ate our lunch at Joel Chicken Eatery besides the Church near the port.

Going back to Dumaguete we took again the available shipping lines at 3pm and that is the (GL Shipping Lines) again but for Php 130 (not aircon) + Terminal Fee of (Php14)

By the way Siquijor port have a free wifi.

*May i remind you that you should prepare your stomach if you are sea sick… going back is hella rough it makes us dizzy even we are not easily get sea sick*

Took as and hour and half just to get back dumaguete. We arrive at 4pm-ish in dumaguete port. Take a Bath and upload on social media.
