How do I get to Danjugan Island from Sipalay?
Short answer
Danjugan Island is much closer from Sipalay than from Bacolod: about 30 to 45 minutes north up the coast to the Bulata jump-off in Cauayan, then a short boat across to the reserve. It is the easiest way to add Danjugan onto a Sipalay beach stay.
Because visits are booked in advance and boat timing matters, a private car from your Sipalay resort straight to Bulata, timed to your reservation, is the simplest way. Access, guiding and any overnight are arranged through the reserve.
