10 THINGS TO DO ON SIQUIJOR ISLAND, PHILIPPINES:
1. STAY ON THE BEACH
Most visitors who come to Siquijor Island stay on the west coast around San Juan, there’s a few hostels and restaurants, and a nice beach call Paliton. Honestly, I didn’t spend much time over there.
Instead, I opted for a little beach cottage on the east side, north of Larena - Casa de La Playa.
2. RENT A SCOOTER
I was told before my trip to The Philippines that renting a scooter was the best way to get around on most islands, and this was my first time experiencing it.
The simple freedom and local access made this one of my favorite aspects of the entire three month trip.
3. VISIT LAZI CHURCH
Built with sea stones and wood by Filipino artisans in 1884, was declared a National Cultural Treasure and nominated for the UNESCO World Heritage list.
4. ROPE SWING AT CAMUGAHAY FALLS
A short drive from Lazi Church is one of the most visited attractions on the island, Camugahay Calls.
You can get a guide at the entrance, and it’s nice to help the local economy, but it’s really not necessary.
5. VISIT LAZI
Next up, it’s over to the sleepy town of Lazi for lunch.
6. EAT PANDESAL
Simple dinner-roll-style bread that is served up in most bakeries around Siquijor Island.
7. VISIT CENTURY OLD BALETE TREE
Experience the very weird feeling of having your feet nibbled on by small fish at the base of a beautiful old Balete Tree.
8. CLIFF JUMP SALAGDOONG BEACH
The most popular attraction on Siquijor Island is the two diving boards at Salagdoong Beach.
9. PORTSIDE CAFE IN LARENA
Have a massive cheeseburger at the Portside Cafe in Larena. This is a good spot to eat if you are waiting for the ferry
10. SUNSET AT MT. BANDILAAN TOWER
Traverse through the small villages and up above the tree line to Mt. Bandilaan for sunset. The tower is not an easy thing to find so be sure to ask a local on your way up.

Thanks for watching! #TravelDeeper
Sorry for the delay on this week's upload friends - this one took a little more time than usual to edit. Let's see how one of these generic "Top 10" list videos does with the cheeky thumbnail! Haha, I'm just trying to bring in new viewers so they can see the more authentic, in-depth videos that matter more! With that said, I truly loved Siquijor Island and would like to get back soon to make another video about the "black magic" mysteries of this incredible place. If you're new here, come say hi on Instagram at instagram.com/tourist2townie/ and I'll see you next week from back in Manila for some street food with another Filipina RUclipsr!
It's not so much as "black" magic really. Actually, the locals are trying to rid the island of that image already. They now promote traditional massage and faith healing. But the mysticism of the island remains. They have a very interesting story to tell. I suggest that you get a good local contact or guide the next time you visit so that you get to appreciate the full history of Siquijor. 👍🙂
Nice funny intro video😂. Love it.
Gareth, that was a clickbait though. I thought that was your girlfriend.
That's ok , we still love you
Have you been to Guimaras island?
I see Gareth is respectful of the culture by taking his hats off in going inside the church.
Not culture, religion
Hi, I’m a local from Siquijor. So glad you enjoyed touring around our beautiful island. Seeing this vlog makes me appreciate more of my hometown. Love the cinematography, you’re very talented. Keep on exploring the Philippines. ❤️❤️
Great view! I could not stay too long in that fish spa because as soon as I got my feet in, the big fish were the ones nibbling ...wierd, ticklish feeling LOL! Salagdoong is the bomb and Lazi church is beautiful...did you notice its hardwood floors instead of tiles? Did you encounter any medicine men or "mambabarangs"? You know, for a long time, nobody wanted to go to Siquijot because of local folklore of witches, black magic, etc... BUT when foreign backpackers noticed how beautiful the island and its people are, siquijor started to a tourist destination. I guess those stories helped "preserve" the peaceful way of life there and I pray and hope that the island will still progress but in a positive way.
Nice one, looks amazing there. Watching this from a very different beach destination: Matala, Crete. Time to get outside and go to the beach!
Who's watching this in 2021? 😀 so excited to visit Siquijor once it's safe to travel again!
Thanks for your love for our country ❤️

Thank you so much for visiting our place. ☺ Siquijor is soo beautiful indeed. ☺ A big big thumbs up for you 👍 😅
Siquijor gave me the same feels 😊 one of my favorite islands 💕
HI Gareth! I've been enjoying all of your videos for a long while now. Today I decided to tell you how good they are. That slow-mo shot of you going off the board is epic. I love your energy. Thanks for taking us with you on your travels.
Awesome video, you really highlight the island. Good job!!!
*Gareth, I just watched couple videos of yours and I can't help it to say I'm loving your channel.. The transition and cinematic is so great! Thank you so much for showing us the beauty of the Philippines..* 🤗🤗🤗
Gareth, new subbie here. If you are like on a tight budget, go to the local grocery and buy a sqeezible cheese whiz, squeezable mayo, or a cheddar cheese block or honey cured slice ham or turkey on a resealable package and kept it on your backpack. Then when you are ready for a snack, breakfast or lunch or dinner all you can do is go to the corner bakery and buy yourself a couple of oven fresh hot pandesal. Then eat it with three in one hot cofeko or mountain dew. man you got yourself a meal that is cheap.
I have to rewatch this! Beautiful is the word!
Love this video Gareth!!!!
awesome Vlog. number 1 spot for next year to experience. Thank you for the time to share with us.
Once again, you brought me to places I've never been to, here in my native land, right at the comfort of my bed, God bless your channel Gareth, for most of us who don't have the means to experience this firsthand, watching your vlogs will definitely do.❤✌🤟😍😘😉

I’m glad you love traveling around islands and places in the Philippines, simple but there’s so much to see and explore . 7,100 islands is a blessing for the Filipinos and for awesome visitors like you!!!
Hi Gereth, i really enjoyed watching this video of you touring Siquijor Island, will view your other videos.
Happy to see that you really enjoyed your stay in the Philippines, come back soon!
Gareth, you know what. Your sharings of how you feel about the place, people, culture, food, color of the Philippines is so heartwarming, genuine, unstoppable, unbelievable. You have a good heart and spirit (essence of your humanity). Really, really love the way you take videos and describe it.
Just recently discovered your channel. Vicariously enjoying your travels in the land of my youth! I am determined to see at least a fraction of what you've been sharing of the Philippines on your vlog. Thanks!
I really really love your videos man! Subscribed ❤
