💡 SiquiRide Local Tips

Tip 1 — Book before you arrive. Units are limited, especially during peak season (December–April). Reserving in advance guarantees your preferred model.

Tip 2 — Fuel up in San Juan. The main town has the most reliable fuel stations. Top up before heading to the east coast or mountain routes.

Tip 3 — Start early. Siquijor's best spots get crowded by mid-morning. A 6–7 AM start gives you waterfalls and beaches almost to yourself.

Tip 4 — The mountain road is worth it. The cross-island route via Bandilaan is paved and manageable on either unit — and the views are unlike anything on the coast road.
