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. Siquijor is a relatively small island, but travel time, road conditions, weather and ferry schedules can still affect how much you can comfortably fit into one day.

If you're combining Siquijor with Bohol, leave enough time for ferry travel and transfers rather than trying to squeeze too many activities into a single day.
