Having explored the island a couple of times now, we’ve put together this easy to follow Siquijor itinerary for those looking to do their own Siquijor tour.
Getting Around Siquijor + Tips
The best way to get around Siquijor is to rent scooters for around 350 Pesos per day and explore.
If you’re not confident on scooters there are always locals hanging around on trikes, just make sure to barter the price before you ride.
Depending on when you arrive, we recommend hitting off your Siquijor itinerary with some exploring. Tackling the two major waterfalls on the island is always a great adventure.
For those short on time, or that prefer everything to be organised for them, there are some awesome tours on Get Your Guide available to book in advance.
What To Pack
Underwater Camera: GoPro HERO7
Waterproof Phone Case: LifeProof Fre Waterproof Phone Case
Sunscreen: Banana Boat Sunscreen SPF-50
Dry Bag: Earth Pak – Roll Top Waterproof Dry Bag
Microfibre Towel: Microfibre Quick Dry Towel

Day 1 Of Your 2 Day Siquijor Itinerary
Lugnason Falls
Lugnason Falls is a beautiful waterfall located just a 20 minute drive from San Juan.
With stunning scenery leading up to it, there’s an easy parking spot when you arrive and from there you can head straight down the steps to the falls, just a ten minute walk.
Overall, the water was fresh, clean and the locals there were super friendly. Plus Lugnason Falls had a really great community feel both times we visited!
There are jumping points and rope swings making Lugnason are a great intro to your Siquijor tour.
At the entrance to the falls you’ll be offered a guide, however you really don’t need one. And for those that don’t fancy the jumps, you can also just take a dip and swim around at the bottom at your leisure.
Hidden amongst the jungle it’s definitely an up-and-coming spot worth stopping by.
Plus it’s on the way to our next stop, Cambugahay.

Cambugahay Falls
Next up it’s the one and only Cambugahay Falls, the insta famous Siquijor tourist hot spot.
Just a 30 minute drive from Lugnason, this was our favourite place on our Siquijor itinerary. The size of the pools and the three different tiers make for an awesome atmosphere and there are multiple rope swings.
Many tourists head to this spot, although it wasn’t as busy as we expected when we visited around midday.
We paid 50 Pesos for unlimited swings on the rope and spent a good couple of hours just hanging out at Cambugahay Falls. Before grabbing lunch and heading back to Paliton for sunset.

Paliton Beach For Sunset
Around a 40 minute drive back from Cambugahay to San Juan will land you at Paliton Beach. The most visited beach in Siquijor.
It’s the one that everyone heads to for sunset and we were lucky enough to catch some awesome ones!
It’s a beautiful little bay and not far from San Juan so if you’re staying in the area, you shouldn’t skip Paliton Beach on the way home after a long day at the falls.
A great way to end the first day of your Siquijor Itinerary!

Day 2 Of Your 2 Day Siquijor Itinerary
Salagdoong Beach – Cliff Jump
Salagdoong Beach is another place that’s high on the tick list when planning a Siquijor tour.
It’s a man-made beach resort which costs 80 Pesos per person to enter but it’s well worth it for the famous cliff jumps!
Known for these crazy cliff jumps, Salagdoong is worth the drive out east for. You can literally dedicate a whole morning, afternoon or even day to chilling at the beach and taking in the vibes.
There are two concrete diving boards, leading straight into the ocean, the highest one being 35ft. As well as an awesome little beach and snorkel spot for tourists.
There’s a restaurant on site, so food and ice cream is always available and a good shout!

Century Old Balete Tree
The Century Old Balete Tree is a 400 year old tree which locals believe is enchanted.
Widely known for the fresh water springs emerging from its base, it’s also become a popular place for tourists to get their feet nibbled on by habitant fish!
Worthy of a quick stop, but not for too long, we understand why it’s added to most peoples Siquijor itinerary – although we preferred the sunsets!
After that we recommend heading back to town and grabbing dinner at either Baha Bar or Monkey Business.
