Let's explore Siquijor

True, this tiny island province is famous for its mountain-dwelling mangkukulam (witches/healers) who brew traditional ointments for modern ailments. But these days Siquijor is most popular healing practice involves a cocktail and a deckchair at any number of its laid-back and wonderfully affordable beach resorts.

Attractions include great diving, waterfalls, caves and forest walks in the hilly interior. Just about everywhere on Siquijor is great for snorkeling – to find the nearest beach and dive in. Like many beaches in the Visayas, swimming is only possible during high tide, and wearing flip-flops is recommended as protection against sea urchins.

Fortunately, the weather in the Philippines does not reach a point of extreme hot or extremely cold temperatures, so you can easily adapt to the tropical weather. The best time to go is between November and May.
