Top Attractions Included in the Siquijor Xplore Day Tour
Iconic Welcome Sign & Island Orientation
Your first stop is the famous Siquijor Welcome Sign, a must-visit photo landmark. This introduction sets the tone for the day, offering insight into the island’s history, traditions, and mystique.
Balete Tree & Natural Fish Spa
One of the most unique highlights of the Siquijor Xplore Day Tour is the centuries-old Balete Tree. Guests can soak their feet in the spring-fed pool beneath its roots while tiny fish provide a natural exfoliating “fish spa” experience—both relaxing and culturally symbolic.
St. Francis of Assisi Church
This historic church, over 200 years old, showcases Spanish-colonial architecture and remains an active place of worship. It reflects Siquijor’s deep religious heritage and cultural continuity.

Another early tour in the morning when Al our tour guide picked us up from our hotel in Dumaguete. We then boarded a ferry and headed to the beautiful island of Siquijor.
Throughout the day, our guide took us to some of Siquijor’s most stunning spots. We visited Cambugahay Falls, which is a picture-perfect three-tiered waterfall that’s perfect for swimming and relaxing. We also explored the historic Lazi Church and Convent, which dates back to the 18th century and is a stunning example of colonial architecture.
Throughout the tour, Brian was exceptional – he was knowledgeable, friendly, and made sure we had a safe and enjoyable experience.

Cambugahay Falls and Paliton Beach were breathtaking, and the whole itinerary was perfectly paced. Great value for an all-inclusive day tour — highly recommended for anyone visiting Dumaguete !
