What to Do in Siquijor?<\/h1>\n\n\n\n

Despite being a small island, there\u2019s plenty to do. Here are the 13 best things to do in Siquijor!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Watch the Sunset at Paliton Beach<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Paliton Beach consists of two parts separated by a large rock. These two parts are also called\u00a0Big Paliton Beach<\/em>\u00a0and\u00a0Little Paliton Beach<\/em>.\u00a0Big Paliton Beach\u00a0is a popular spot to enjoy the sun, sea, and sand during the day. On the white sandy beach, you\u2019ll find tall palm trees, large swings, and cozy restaurants. In the evening, you can enjoy freshly caught fish from local fishermen.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

On the other side of the rock is\u00a0Little Palit<\/a>on Beach<\/a>, officially called Cangbusyo Beach. This is a smaller beach that comes to life towards the end of the afternoon. Many people gather here to watch the sun slowly set into the sea. Order a cocktail, relax in the sand, and enjoy the island vibe.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\n

Good to know<\/strong>: If you follow the sign along the road to Paliton Beach, you\u2019ll end up at Little Paliton Beach. This can make the small beach quite crowded at sunset. If you prefer a bit more space while watching the sunset, head to Big Paliton Beach.<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n\n\n\n

La Canop\u00e9e Bar & Restaurant is a unique spot in Siquijor where you can enjoy the sunset in style or relax by the pool.

\n

A minimum spend of 200 pesos is required, which can easily be met with a drink and a snack. If you want to swim, there\u2019s an additional charge of 300 pesos.<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n\n\n\n

Visit Siquijor\u2019s Most Beautiful Waterfall \u2013 Cambugahay Falls<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Cambugahay Falls is one of the most famous and most visited waterfalls in Siquijor \u2013 and for good reason. This tropical waterfall has three levels that cascade into each other, each with a clear turquoise pool perfect for swimming. For a bit more adventure, you can float on bamboo rafts or swing yourself into the water using a rope. Local guides, who call themselves living drones<\/em>, will happily take photos and videos of you swinging on the ropes with your own phone. There\u2019s a small fee for using the rafts and rope swings.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\n

Tip:<\/strong> The waterfall opens at 8:00 AM, and because it\u2019s the most popular waterfall in Siquijor, it\u2019s best to go early in the morning as it gets crowded quickly. After your visit, head to Twenty4, about 2 kilometers away, for a meal. They serve delicious dishes with their own freshly baked bread.<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n\n\n\n

Lagaan Falls<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Located about 7 kilometers (4.3 miles) from Cambugahay Falls, you\u2019ll find another beautiful waterfall called Lagaan Falls. Just like Cambugahay Falls, you can swing into the water using ropes here, but without the fee. Additionally, this waterfall has a natural slide, where you can literally slide from the rocks into the clear water. From the entrance, it\u2019s just a few minutes\u2019 walk through nature before you reach the waterfall.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
