How to get from Cebu to Siquijor
There are no direct commercial flights yet to Siquijor. Typically, tourists fly to Cebu, Dumaguete, or Bohol then take a ferry to the island.
From Cebu City’s South Bus Terminal, ride the Ceres bus to either Liloan Port or Dumaguete. Ferries to Siquijor are accessible at both places. Taking any of these bus and ferry transfers will keep you in transit for 6-8 hours. Travel time is the longest for these options, but the fare is also the cheapest.
Alternatively, visitors may take two ferries to reach Siquijor. The first ferry is from Cebu City’s Pier to Tagbilaran, Bohol. You may catch a second ferry that will take you from Bohol to Siquijor.
