We spent a fun couple of hours at the waterfalls. Beautiful blue water. We arrived with our scooter, there is parking for them just at the entrance to the falls, parking fee is going by donations, so you pick how much you want to pay, and those guys really watch over the scooters. The entrance fee is normally 10 php, but we got there early so no one was there, we got in for free. There are 3 Tarzan swings, different heights, 50 php for unlimited swings. They are really fun, I was scared before the first swing but you just have to go and after that it was just all fun. Then you can stand under the smaller falls to get a nice shoulder / back massage and just lounge in the water. There are some vendors there, I think they open around 9 to buy some food. We got there around 7:30/8:00 and it wasn't crowded at all, so I would suggest to go early. It's definitely worth a visit!

If you're going to Salagdoong beach, you'll pass here. The molave trees are refreshing to see and a bit reminiscent to that of Bohol's man-made forest.

Like many of the older churches on Siquihor, this is a beautiful one, built by the Filipino master builders, masons and carpenters at the direction of Spanish friars. The Church was established in 1887, and is constructed with thick limestone walls. On a bright sunny day, sunlight generously fills the space illuminating the pews, altar, and weather-stained interiors. On the church’s left is the hexagonal belfry - identified as a national historic treasure - which adds to the specific flavor of the religious architecture. What makes this church interesting is the legend that talks about its patron Saint Rita of Cascia, the patroness of the impossible causes, sickness, difficult marriages, battered wife, widows and wounds. Garbed in a black garment housed in a glass cage, the statue of the saint, also known as Black Maria, seems to be more of an eerie apparition rather than a lifeless sculpture. There have been stories of the image roaming around at night returning only to its pedestal before dawn - the statue’s muddy and grassy feet suggesting this story to be true. Whether or not you believe the haunting folktale to be true, the image of the Black Maria remains foreboding and piercing on its stead. So... welcome to the Island of Mystery.

Located at the center of the town, it is very easy to find. The pool has fish on it, my guide explained that locals use it also for swimming. The plants around the pool look so green and healthy. Near it is a statue of Mary that can be reached by using the high stairs.
