The Ultimate Guide to Siquijor Island: Day 1 π
ππ΄
Are you ready to escape to paradise? Look no further than Siquijor Island! Known for its beautiful beaches, lush greenery, and stunning waterfalls, this magical island is a must-visit destination for anyone craving a tropical getaway. And on our first day in Siquijor, we experienced the best of what the island has to offer.
π Sunrise Adventures π
Our day started early, with a sunrise trip at 5:30 am. We rented a motorbike and drove to the southern part of the island, where we witnessed the most breathtaking sunrise we've ever seen. The sky was painted in a mix of orange, pink, and purple hues, and the reflection on the ocean was simply stunning. We had the perfect spot all to ourselves, and it was the perfect way to start our day.
π΄ Balete Tree and Cambugahay Falls π΄
Next up, we visited the famous old enchanted Balete tree. It's a mystical spot with a small pond where tiny fish will nibble on your feet in a natural spa-like experience. It was a unique and relaxing experience that we highly recommend! Afterward, we headed to the Cambugahay Falls, where we took a refreshing dip in the clear, turquoise water. The highlight was definitely the Tarzan swing, which made us feel like kids again. It was a little scary, but so much fun!
π½οΈ Delicious Food and Stunning Views π½οΈ
By this time, we worked up quite the appetite. We stopped by the local market to buy some fresh fish, and then we grilled it for lunch at our hostel since we were up early and the breakfast place wasn't open yet. Afterward, we spent some time relaxing and soaking up the island vibes before heading out for dinner. We went to a famous Italian restaurant called Marco Polo, where we had the best pepperoni pizza and alfredo penne pasta. The stunning beachfront view was a bonus that made the dining experience extra special.

Sunset Magic π
To cap off our first day, we watched the sunset from the beachfront while listening to some reggae music and enjoying a cold beer. It was the perfect way to end an unforgettable day in paradise.
Stay tuned for more adventures on Day 2, as we explore the best of what Siquijor Island has to offer! πππ΄
