How to Get to Siquijor: Ferry Routes & Travel Guide

There are many ways to get to Siquijor, but one thing is unavoidable—you must take a ferry. There’s no escaping it!

Below, I’ll break down the best ferry routes from Cebu City, Bohol, and Dumaguete, including travel times, ticket info, and what to expect on board.

🚢 Getting to Siquijor from Cebu City

Cebu City is the biggest city in the region, and naturally, it has the largest ferries heading to Siquijor.

How Comfortable is the Ferry?

✅ Air-conditioned cabins (Tip: Bring a jacket! The AC is freezing ❄️)

✅ Comfortable seats (But no beds, so don’t expect to lay down)

The chairs are comfortable. Not a 5 star cruise ship chair, but good.

How Long is the Trip?

Total travel time: 6 hours
Route: Cebu City → Bohol (4 hours) → 30-min stop → Siquijor (2 hours)

You arrived to Siquijor, now what?

Welcome to Siquijor! Now that you’re here, let’s talk about your next steps before heading to San Juan.

🛵 Step 1: Rent a Scooter at the Port

If I were you, I’d rent a scooter right at the port—it’s cheaper than renting one in San Juan. Prices are usually more negotiable at the Siquijor Pier, so take advantage of that!

🏝️ Step 2: Head to San Juan

Once you’ve got your ride, it’s time to cruise to San Juan—the best spot for Digital Nomads on the island.

And guess what? My coworking space (or should I say, OUR coworking space 😉) is right in the heart of it all, close to everything you need.

So, grab that scooter and let the adventure begin! 🚀
