Things to Do in Siquijor

boat across (about 45–60 minutes) to snorkel with green sea turtles in one of the Philippines' first community-run marine sanctuaries (PHP 1,500–2,500 / $26–43 per person including transport, guide and lunch)

swim the turquoise pools near Lazi, about 100 stone steps down from the road (entrance PHP 20–50 / $1; rope swings and bamboo rafts cost extra)

visit the 19th-century San Isidro Labrador church and the museum in the convent across the road (church free, small museum fee)

a roughly 400-year-old balete tree in Lazi, a cultural landmark tied to the island's folklore, with a fish foot spa in the spring under it (small entrance fee)

the island's favourite free sunset spot, a short ride from San Juan

a full lap of the coastal ring road is an easy day by scooter, linking the falls, the Balete Tree, Lazi and Salagdoong

cliff-jumping platforms and a white-sand cove on the east coast (small entrance fee; check access locally first)

snorkel the reef right off Tubod Beach in San Juan, with gear for hire nearby
