Still, Siquijor by far, is one of the most pristine islands in the Philippines that I've been to. There may be developments in the area, but it isn't as crowded and commercialized as poor Boracay. One big reason is the island has unstable electricity supply, which may be hampering development; Also, it's a good one to two hours away from the nearest city, Dumaguete, it can only be accessed by ferry, and it rests on the path of serious typhoons that pass the country. But you know what? I don't mind the steady development at all if that means keeping the island as pristine as possible.
Welcome to our second day in Siquijor and this has been my favorite part of the trip: Island tour! Me and my husband spent the whole day experiencing the natural wonders that one can only find in Siquijor.
