I had an amazing time with Steven and his dive center! All equipment is brand new and high quality, the place is very clean, the center has a 3 level pool for beginners, and the boat can bring you in non touristy spots, you are literally the only boat there. The dive masters are very professional, friendly and outgoing. There is also a really nice bar by the pool and direct access to a beautiful white sand beach facing the sunset! There is also live bands at night and the location is very convenient if you want to grab some street food around and it is close to many guesthouses. I would definitely recommend this dive center to anyone visiting Siquijor and who want to have a great dive experience!

Kanheron Ranch

Reviewed By FilAmCowboys - California

If you're planning a trip to Siquijor, we highly recommend Kanheron to anyone. It's an experience that’s truly & delightfully unique, a must to complete your island tour. We can't say enough about how wonderful this place is - like time travel back to the wild American west with lush vegetation of native hardwood trees. This American Old West Museum has a state of the art full service bar; an elegant wine room with a vast selection of California wines; executive conference room like no other; exceptional relief wood art carving collection; cozy lounging areas; ocean & mountain view; even the large restrooms is a western experience and many more….

The facility is a big open space featuring a soaring high-beamed Cathedral ceiling and a dramatic architecture. Definitely great for weddings and other special events. You would be surprised to find such an outstanding establishment in a large city, but to find it tucked away in a small island is like finding a rare gem. This is not your typical touristy stop- we now know why it's known as the cultural tourism attraction of Siquijor. This one-of-a-kind getaway in a family friendly environment will instantly feel like you are in another world. Kanheron also customize educational tours to Siquijor’s local school-aged children and around the country.
You owe it to yourself to stop and check it out. Professional, gracious & friendly staff. Definitely worth the stop!

Sea Shell Museum and Souvenir Shop

Reviewed By Arlanda_11 - Toronto, Canada

The owner of the sea shell museum has dedicated two rooms to the side of his residence to an interesting and attractive display of both endangered and common shells found in the Philippines. Most are labelled, and some are available for sale. He is a kind and enthusiastic guide, ready to give you any further information you ask for.
A range of well-priced souvenirs, crafts and gifts are also available. The kids loved the large multi-coloured shells and bags that they got, as if they were props from The Little Mermaid. Entry is free.
The museum is in Bitaug on the Siquijor Circumferential Road, between Hard Rock Cottages and the Tulapos Marine Sanctuary. It is clearly signed on the coastal side of the road.

Maria Bay

Reviewed By cristabern - Bangkok, Thailand

Dreaming of that long stretch of white sand? Thinking you can only have it in resorts? No no no. If you go to Maria, you will see this resort-class Beaches everywhere. Best way to get around is to rent a motorbike ( usually 500-700 per day) and explore the coastal road. You can stop and get your tan on or simply enjoy basking in it's beauty. The best part? It's free! No entrance fee and you have the beach all to yourself too.

Villa Marmarine Diving Center

Reviewed By docdelf95 - Riyadh, Saudi Arabia

This diving resort was recommended by another Dive Master in Dauin. The Professionalism of the staff and the friendly environment made my short stay fun. I would like to commend the cleanliness of the place especially the toilet. I have no expectations at all and I found out that this place is more than just your ordinary Dive Resort. The owner sponsors local youth from the island as scholars which made me want to recommend this resort to others. Having fun at the same time helping my fellow Filipinos in Siquijor is worth to be spent in this place.

Siquijor Tourist Transport

Reviewed By Big_Jim_61 - Australia

Don't know why this is listed in the attractions section.
They are tour operators. So, will take you to the tourist sites.
I found out about these people by a post on trip advisor.
I contacted dexter on the number listed for this attraction with tripadvisor. He was prompt with replying to messages and arranged everything satisfactorily. I used the service 3 times but dexter never showed up personally. He always sent another driver. The driver that came each time was Jegger Ponce. +639997485608. Jegger had a well maintained tricycle in which he picked us up at the pier. When he did that, he was at the pier with a sign with my name on it. He toured us around the island then took as back to the pier for the trip home. For the 2 pick ups from our resort, he was there waiting long before the agreed time

Kamp Aninipot

We own and operate the first family-friendly campground in Siquijor, Philippines dedicated primarily to camping and camping related activities like mountain biking and trail walking. We added a Kids Zipline for only Php 100.00 where kids can have unlimited rides, Giant Picture Frame - probably the biggest picture frame in central visayas, and other cool things to do. Guests can also stay in our hobbit-inspired huts for a very reasonable price. We have burgers, shakes, halo-halo, and other snack items. Bathroom/toilet facilities are centrally located in the campground. Free parking for our guests. This a No Alcohol and No Smoking campground.

Best view in Siquijor! Kamp Aninipot is right off the ferry from Dumaguete. Straight up the hill, be prepared to ride up a steep incline to your hobbit hideaway! The accommodations are spartan but the surroundings are beautiful. You’ll want to bring a Lucy Lamp...MoreHi Peetahluv - very well said, thanks! Love the spartan accommodations comment. We are glad that you guys enjoyed your stay and appreciated Siquijor's beauty and our hospitality. You're always welcome to "Hobbit Hills" next time you come visit our beloved island.
