    There are two ferry terminals on the west side of the island: Siquijor town and Larena. At the end of the pier of each you'll find waiting touts and tricycles. It is possible to rent a motorbike for 300PHP/day from either pier, perhaps less if renting for multiple days and depending on your bargaining skills.

    There are several passenger boats daily from [wiki=43e7799be1c6577824bae54e3a1c619a]Dumaguete[/wiki] to Siquijor town (120PHP GL Lines, 200PHP OceanJet) and some larger Roro boats (100PHP, slower). There are also several boats a week between [wiki=084c348f27b9cbae3923368f6b635326]Tagbilaran[/wiki] on [wiki=bbae79b37d00b64482e85f11dc32cb05]Bohol[/wiki] and Larena. [http://www.barkota.com/]

    From Siquijor port tricycles have "fixed" prices for tourists. For example, Siquijor port to San Juan town should be 50 pesos per trip (13km). They have printed price lists in the tricycle as these are officially approved prices, but if you ask for the price, most drivers will start at 200 or even 250 pesos/trip.

    Even though it is not generally known there is an airport in Siquijor town. There is no scheduled traffic but if time is important and money unlimited, ask about possibility of renting a private aircraft to fly you there - it is possible.

    Hire a motorbike for around 280-350 pesos per day (cheaper for long term). Available from Siquijor & Larena towns and many resorts, you may also be offered motorbike rental from a tricycle driver. Before renting, check if helmets are included (they should be!) and if price per day means 24 hours or i.e. 8AM to 6PM (some resorts require you to return motorbike before sunset). You won't have to leave your passport with the rentor, any form of ID should do the trick, even a photocopy.

    * Hire a tricycle. Tricycles are now using a tariff system with fixed prices for tourists. They are much more expensive than on other islands. For example, Siquijor town to Larena (10km) costs P25 regular fare per passenger.

    * Jump on a Jeepney. Jeepneys run between the main towns on the island, although somewhat infrequently. Ask your accommodation for up to date information.

    Salagdoong Beach 6 kms northeast of Maria. Favourite with the locals and great for swimming. There are also water slides (closed as of February 2014) and places to dive into the sea (still open, a 7m & 10m jump).

    * Kagusuan Beach Noted for its picturesque seascape and rock formation, it is situated below a cliff and accessible by concrete staircase.

    * Siquijor Beach Several white sand beach resorts dot the coastal areas.

    * San Juan Beach Lots of beach resorts and great for snorkelling and scuba diving.

    * Cambugahay Falls Impressive 3 tiered waterfalls just outside Lazi. Great for swimming & you can jump from one tier of the waterfall. There is also a rope swing.

    * Lugnason Falls Nice waterfall close to San Juan.

    * Capilay Spring Park A natural spring fed swimming pool in the centre of San Juan. A favourite with the locals at weekends.

    * Cantabon Cave Takes 1.5 hrs to walk through and you need to register in the town before venturing inside. Local guide required (they hang around the cave) as the cave is locked up.

    * San Isidro Labrador Convent Reputed to be the biggest and one of the oldest convents in the Philippines, the Spaniards started construction in 1887 and was completed in 1894. Declared as a historical landmark by the Philippine Historical Commission.

    * Buterfly Sanctuary Just outside Cang-apa. Sign posted from the main road.

    * Balete Tree Supposedly enchanted old tree covered in hundreds of roots and vines. Under the tree is a natural free fish spa, which is probably more entertaining/interesting than the tree itself! There is now an old man there who collects P5 from each visitor.

    Scuba Diving. There is really good diving around the island, especially in southern end. Many resorts have their own dive centers plus there are some independent ones as well.

    * Discover the inland of the island. Jump on your motorbike, fill it up with petrol, get yourself a map, put on some sunscreen and discover the beatiful inland of the island. There are some nice touristy spots such as falls, national park, butterfly garden, but also just driving off the main roads is worth on its own. You will be met by nice locals, kids waving you, lovely little villages, staggering views (chocolate hills are not only in Bohol) and relaxed atmosphere not yet spoiled by development.

    * Kanheron the cultural tourism attraction and museum of the island. It's an exotic American old west experience. It's like a time travel back to the wild, wild west - cowboy hats and boots and all. The facility's eclectic building design features soaring high-beamed cathedral ceiling and dramatic architecture, western art, Native American, cowboy genre and other vintage collectibles. Kanheron is a coined Visayan word for "Kanhi ug Karon" meaning "Then & Now." It has the state-of-the art full service bar.

    There are several ATMs in Larena, including a PNB bank one which should accept any foreign card (definitely works for VISA at least)
  • filter_dramaEat
    Most of the restaurants cater of locals, if you want "western" food go to a resort (most have restaurant open for walk-in guests)..
    In smaller town such as San Juan, you either cook yourself, eat street food or eat at a resort.

    * Joyjoy's Restaurant, at the beginning of the Pier of Siquijor town.

    * Sakura Restuarant, in the center of town. They have a variety of dishes. P 40 and up. Great chicken curry and soups.

    * Sammy's Pizza, right in the center.

    * Villa Marmarine, three kilometers north of Siquijor going towards Larena. Good food, maybe the best on the island.

    * Breakpoint, in center of town in Larena.

    *Great pizza using 100% imported meats and chesses. Awesome sandwiches on french baguettes.

    Buy Red horse and/or Tanduay from a shop and drink it on the beach with locals
    *Little restaurant with Filipino and European dishes. Some say the staff are friendly and the venue is something of a meeting place for locals, some say otherwise. Set yourself up with a meal and red horse and make some news local friends.
    *Caesar's/Czars in San Juan have a live band on a stage every Friday night.

    To get from Siquijor to Cebu, you can take one of the ferries, but there are only a few of these each week. A more flexible but also more complicated method (tried in Jan 2016) is to take a ferry to Dumaguete (P100 ferry ticket + P14 terminal fee), go to Sibulan ferry terminal a few km to the north of Dumaguete (P120 if by tricycle), take a ferry (P62, terminal fee included) to Liloan on the south of Cebu island, then take a bus to Cebu City (P185 for Ceres aircon bus with free WiFi that may or may not work). Total cost = P481 (tried in Jan 2016). Total journey time is 7-10 hours, depending on how long you wait each time you change your mode of transportation.

    There are ferries to [wiki=43e7799be1c6577824bae54e3a1c619a]Dumaguete[/wiki] from the main port in Siquijor and Larena.
    OceanJet operates daily routes to [wiki=43e7799be1c6577824bae54e3a1c619a]Dumaguete[/wiki], [wiki=084c348f27b9cbae3923368f6b635326]Tagbilaran[/wiki] and [wiki=f393dc2e3ce2b863737e1679a436cc5e]Cebu[/wiki] (not direct, all via Dumaguete & change of ships needed in Tagbilaran).
    There is a direct ferry from Larena to Bohol leaving at 7pm arriving10:30pm in Tagbilaran. As on october 2014, there are trips on tuesday, thursday and sunday evening for 220P as ordinary fare.
    There is also a night ferry 3 times a week to [wiki=f393dc2e3ce2b863737e1679a436cc5e]Cebu[/wiki].

    Definitely check ferry departures before you make plans - some information posted on the internet weas not correct in December 2013. i.e. the OceanJet ferry at 6AM does not go all the way to Cebu anymore (& is more expensive than what is said on OceanJet website). Also there is no longer any ferry to Cebu island near Oslob. OceanJet's telephone number posted on their website will not be answered (based on February 2014 experience).
