Siquijor is one of the mysterious places in the Philippines. The “Healing Island” of Central Visayas is also the perfect destination for beachgoers, adventure seekers, nature lovers, and tourists. 

However, the main challenge for first-time visitors who want to go to the island province is knowing how to get there. Here is a guide on how to go to Siquijor if you’re from Manila or Cebu.
