🇵🇭 Hidden Gems in Siquijor Islands✨✨
#hiddengems
Embarking on a day trip across the mystical island of Siquijor, I found the hidden gems on the islands that is less well known than its neighbour island-Bohol.
🏍️ How to Go?
We rented a scooter for 250 peso for whole day. It is around 30mins ride from San Juan, where most tourists stay. Navigating the island's lush landscapes on a rented motorbike added an exhilarating sense of freedom and adventure to the journey, allowing for an intimate exploration of Siquijor's scenic beauty at my own pace.
💎Cambugahay Falls: A Leap of Adventure
📍(4JQG+XM3, Siquijor Circumferential Road, Lazi, Siquijor, Philippines)
💰 Entrance fee: 20 peso, Tarzan swing: 50 peso
My first stop was the mesmerizing Cambugahay Falls, a cascading three-tiered waterfall nestled in the heart of Siquijor. What sets Cambugahay apart is not just its breathtaking beauty, but the thrilling Tarzan swing activity that beckons the bold. With ropes hanging from sturdy branches above the clear, inviting pools, I couldn't resist the call to leap. 🫣🫣Swinging out over the water and releasing into a refreshing plunge was a liberating experience, perfectly capturing the essence of adventure that Cambugahay Falls offers. It is such an unforgettable moment!
💎Salagdoong Beach: Crystal Clarity and Serene Sands
📍Maria, Siquijor, Philippines
💰No entrance fee
Known for its crystal-clear waters and white sandy shores, Salagdoong is a haven for those seeking tranquility or a vibrant underwater adventure. 🤿 The clarity of the water makes it an ideal spot for snorkeling, revealing a colorful world of coral reefs and marine life just beneath the surface. The beach is also famous for its high diving platforms, offering another adrenaline rush for the daring. ⚡️However, it was the peaceful moments of simply floating in the crystal-clear sea that truly captured the essence of Salagdoong's beauty, making it a perfect counterpoint to the morning's excitement. 🌊🌊
⭐️⭐️Final Thoughts⭐️⭐️
Riding through the island, with the wind as my companion, I was reminded that the journey is just as significant as the destination. Siquijor is not just an island to be visited but an adventure to be lived.😍I’ll definitely revisit this small lovely island full of surprise again!

Affordable Luxury: Quiet Crystal Clear Waters
Ever wanted a beach vacation that doesn’t break the bank? Geger Beach is the perfect spot for you. Located in a gated community of resorts, (you can access even if you are not a resort guest), you are immediately brought into another world, different from the rest of Bali outside the gates (see pic 6).
Either walk or take a grab in to access this amazing luxury. I recommend taking grab as the area inside the gates is really big, there’s many resorts, a golf club, beaches, shopping areas and restaurants.
To skip the beach entrance fee, grab to either Nusa Dua Beach Grill, or to Bali Collection (need to walk through the golf course to access the beach but you will walk through an amazing line up of tall trees within the golf course, see pic 8).
Find your empty spot on the beach and lay down your mats and enjoy the waters! You can see people snorkeling and fishing, if you have the equipment, feel free to do those activities too:)
Getting There - Grab to Nusa Dua Beach Grill
Attractions - Geger Beach
Food & Restaurants -
- Nusa Dua Beach Grill (Affordable option), there are many pricy and good options scattered across the whole area
Shopping - Bali Collection
