Travel Tips

πŸ’΅ Bring Cash β€” Most attractions, restaurants and small shops in Siquijor are cash-only. The nearest ATMs are in Siquijor town and Larena. Withdraw before you arrive on the island.

β˜€οΈ Start Early β€” The best light for photos is in the morning. Starting by 7:30–8:00 AM means you beat the midday heat and arrive at popular spots before the crowds.

🌧️ Check the Weather β€” Siquijor's dry season runs roughly November to May. June to October brings occasional rain β€” but a private tour can still run in light rain. β†’ Best Month to Visit Siquijor

πŸŽ’ Pack a Dry Bag β€” If you plan to swim at Cambugahay Falls or Salagdoong Beach, bring a waterproof bag for your phone, wallet, and camera.

πŸ‘Ÿ Wear Comfortable Footwear β€” Some stops involve short walks on uneven terrain. Sandals work for beaches; closed shoes are better for the Balete Tree and Lazi Church.

🌿 Travel Responsibly β€” Do not leave trash at natural sites, avoid single-use plastics, and respect local customs β€” especially at heritage and religious sites.

πŸ”‹ Keep Your Phone Charged β€” Bring a power bank. Some stops have no charging facilities, and you will want your camera ready all day.

πŸ’§ Stay Hydrated β€” The island heat is real. Bring a reusable water bottle and refill at restaurants during lunch.
