Siquijor, the mystical and nature island of the Philippines,
is a place where discovery, adventure and beauty never ends.
How To Get Here
We are located on the southwest part of Siquijor Island in Maite, San Juan. We recommend you fly into Dumaguete airport (DGT) and take the OceanJet Fast Ferries to arrive in Siquijor town.
Visit the OceanJet Ferries website for the schedule.
From there ask any tricycle driver to bring you to the Siquijor Freediving school at Republika Beach Bar. From Siquijor town, this will cost about 400 pesos.
