From the SiquiRide team

SiquiRide Tip: Choose Experiences That Fit Your Trip

Don't choose an activity only because the attraction looks good. Check where it starts, how long it takes, what's included, how you will get there, and how it fits with the rest of your itinerary. Cebu is geographically spread out — Cebu City and Mactan, Oslob, Badian and the northern areas can require substantial travel time, so traffic and transfer time matter.

If you're planning a Cebu + Bohol + Siquijor trip, leave enough time for ferry travel and transfers rather than trying to pack too much into a single day.
