Quick Trip to Siquijor and Dumaguete City.

My first out of town getaway this Summer 2015. It was an unplanned trip to Dumaguete and Siquijor as we originally planned to go on trekking to Osmeña Peak and traverse all the way to Kawasan Falls, Badian, Cebu. To be honest, I was really excited to go on trekking but due to unexpected circumstances, we decided to go to Siquijor via Dumaguete City instead.

I've been to Siquijor many times already as my mom was born and raised there. When I was a kid, we used to go there with my sister during summer. I was able to tour the island few years back but we just visited the old churches there but not the other famous tourist spots. It was Ming and Juneroy's first time to visit Siquijor.

Anyway.. We departed Cebu South Bus Terminal around 10:00AM - March 5, 2015. The bus was not full when we left as it was not weekend. We arrived in Lilo-an Port, Santander, Cebu around 2:30PM.

Late lunch in Lilo-an Port, Santander, Cebu.

Luckily, there was a 3:00PM trip to Sibulan, Negros Oriental. Schedules are every hour to Sibulan, Negros Oriental from Lilo-an Port, Santander, Cebu and vice versa.

Boarding Santander Express Fastcraft to Sibulan, Negros Oriental.

It was sunny weather during the whole trip but we were bit scared as the boat encountered big waves in the middle of Lilo-an and Sibulan sea.

Inside Santander Express. :D

One passenger said that it was normal especially in the afternoon onwards. The seas went calm while approaching the Sibulan Port in Negros. The boat ride was just 20 minutes.

Tricycle ride on our way to Dumaguete Port. Hi Ming!!! :D

Touchdown Dumaguete Port. That blue fast craft is M/V GL Express 2, our ride to Siquijor Island.

We arrived at Dumaguete Port around 3:40PM, just in time for the 4:00PM trip to Siquijor, Siquijor.

Daily schedule (except Saturday) of M/V GL Express 2. Dumaguete - Siquijor and v.v.

Note: GL Shipping Lines has no trip every Saturday. I would suggest Oceanjet (Fast Craft) or Montenegro Lines (Ro-ro vessel) as an alternative. You may check out their website for schedules.

We had an Amazing Race like experience because the boat was about the leave already. And yes, we were the last batch of passengers to board. Ha ha ha!

Our faces after that run. Ha ha! #Haggard #helloPhotobomber

The trip from Dumaguete, Negros Oriental to Siquijor, Siquijor took almost an hour due to big waves encountered during the trip.

Touchdown. Hello Siquijor! I'm back after 5 years. :D

Touchdown. :D #Groufie
