Day 2: Exploring the mysterious island of Siquijor

Woke up early in the morning to catch up a ferry going to Siquijor. Hotel Nicanor is just a 10 minute walk to the port. So we just walk to get there. The earliest time would be the 5:45am trip of Jaziel Ferry. We paid P120 for the trip plus a P15 terminal fee.

It’s a 45 minutes trip from Dumaguete to Suquijor port.

super nice view of Siquijor Port

I contact Joam (09276932095) to rent his tricycle and to be our guide for the siquijor trip. He’s nice and always offer to take our pictures. He knows where exactly to pose to get a better view of the place. He was able to tell a story in each place we visit.

Here’s a few places we’ve been to:
St. Vincent de Ferrer Bell Tower
Cang-isok Old house
St. Isidore Labradore Church & Convent
Local healer
Cambugahay Falls
San Juan de Capilay Spring

We also drop by in Salagdoong Beach where we eat breakfast. The beach sand is ivory and not as powdery as Boracay.

The waves are ok and you can jump off the cliff to the sea if you’re a dare devil (not me! hehe my knees are actually shaking when I took these pictures)

Salagdoong Cliff

There is a slide and platform where you can jump.

After lunch we went to Coco Grove Beach Resort where we are going to spend the night. The place is really nice. I was greeted by Macky with my welcome drink (iced tea).

They upgrade our room yehey! The room is very nice It has 1 king bed and 2 single bed upstairs. It has a mini sala and a refrigerator. Down side – no TV so it gets really boring at night.

We are already hungry and ordered food to one of the restaurant – Salamandas.

The food is expensive (pang turista price) but it’s actually good.

We explore the resort and the beach of course. The sand is ivory but not totally fine. But you can see that the place is not crowded, we owned the beach because no one is there.

The place gets really dark at night so you better bring a flash light with you. You can also get a few drinks in the bar area and play billiards as well. The wifi is down that night so we went back to our room and had a good night sleep.
