How It Works: 3 Steps to Siquijor
You’re not just buying a ferry ticket — you’re buying a coordinated journey from Dumaguete to your hotel door. Here’s how we make it seamless.
Ferry from Dumaguete
Board the OceanJet fast ferry at Dumaguete Port. Your ticket is ready. 40 minutes to Siquijor Port.
Meet Your Driver
You arrive. Your driver is waiting at the pier with your name on a sign. No haggling, no confusion.
Delivered to Your Hotel
Private transfer to your hotel door. Luggage handled. Takes 25-30 minutes depending on location.
Why Book With Us vs DIY Ferry + Tricycle
The DIY approach works, but it has friction points that add time and cost:
DIY: Ferry + Tricycle
Cost: PHP 1,200-1,900
You buy the ferry ticket. At Siquijor port, you hunt for a tricycle. The driver quotes PHP 1,000. You negotiate down to PHP 800. You hope he knows the route to your hotel. GPS doesn’t work on hilly roads.
About Siquijor: Why You’re Going
Siquijor is the Philippine island everyone whispers about — known for mysticism, waterfalls, and a laid-back coastal vibe that feels removed from tourist infrastructure. The reality is less spooky, more restorative.
What You Actually Do There
San Juan beach is the main tourist hub, 25-30 minutes from the port. White-sand beaches, island bar vibes, affordable resorts and cottages. Cambugahay Falls is the iconic waterfall for a daytime trip. Paliton Beach and Salagdoong Beach are quiet alternatives if you want to avoid the backpacker crowds. Most visitors stay 2-4 nights and island-hop to Apo Island by day boat.

Plan this with AnnFrequently Asked Questions
Do I need to confirm anything with the driver?
We send you the driver’s phone number and photo 24 hours before departure. You can WhatsApp or call to confirm your hotel address. On the day of travel, your driver texts you when the ferry arrives, so you know he’s waiting.
What if my flight is delayed and I miss the ferry?
Tell us ASAP and we rebook you on the next available ferry at no extra cost. We charge a rebooking fee only if you cancel within 24 hours of departure.
Can I add a return ferry from Siquijor?
Yes. We offer round-trip combos (Dumaguete to Siquijor, then Siquijor back to Dumaguete). Your driver can also be arranged for pickup from your hotel on your return date.
Is Dumaguete port walkable from the city?
It’s walkable if you have light luggage and know the route. It’s a 10-15 minute walk from the city center. We recommend our Dumaguete to Siquijor round-trip if you’re staying in the city — your driver picks you up from your hotel and drops you at the port.
How early should I arrive at Dumaguete Port?
OceanJet asks for 30 minutes before departure. If you’re booked via us, your ticket is pre-assigned, so you skip the ticketing line. Arrive 20 minutes early to be safe.
