How do I get to Siquijor from Dumaguete?
Short answer
Siquijor is a short fast-craft ferry from Dumaguete port, about 40 to 60 minutes, with several sailings a day. From your hotel or Sibulan airport it is only a 15 to 20 minute ride to the pier, so an early boat lets you loop the island and be back the same evening.
We arrange the private transfer to Dumaguete port, timed to a sailing. The ferry ticket is a fixed public fare paid at the port, and on-island transport is arranged on Siquijor itself.
