A friend invited me for a two-day tour to Siquijor since a long weekend is coming. We will be traveling to Siquijor via Dumaguete. I am coming from Cauayan, so at 10 on a Sunday morning, I traveled back to Bacolod. Our departure was supposed to be at 10 PM, so I booked a hotel for a place to stay. However, on my way to Bacolod, I received a message that our scheduled departure was moved earlier to 5 PM. I had already booked non-refundable accommodation, so I checked in at noon and checked out by 4 PM.
The drive from Bacolod to Dumaguete is 6 hours. We departed late at 7 PM and arrived by midnight. Most establishments were already closed, but we found a 24/7 coffee shop where we ordered snacks and some beers while we waited for the morning to catch the earliest FastCat (mini ship) going to Siquijor.
By 9 in the morning, we arrived safely in Siquijor. We immediately scouted for a rented vehicle to tour us around the province. By the way, there are plenty of them at the entrance of the port trying to win every tourist's heart. Once we found one, we headed first to Salagdoong Beach Resort.
Salagdoong Beach in Siquijor is a stunning and popular destination known for its white sandy beach, crystal clear waters, and unique rock formations. Located in the town of Maria on the eastern side of the island, Salagdo-ong Beach is a must-visit for both locals and tourists.
