How do you get to the Cambugahay waterfalls in Siquijor?

To get to the magical Cambugahay Falls Siquijor, you have two options. Here is the breakdown.

Option 1: Cambugahay Falls + Heritage Tour

Note that you can try your luck to find a guide in San Juan. Or, if you are still in Dumaguete, then the one below is definitely the best you will find. It has hundreds of bookings and an assessment of 4.9/5 stars on Siquijor.

This trip includes:

Option 2: Independent option

For those of them who are already on Siquijor and plan to stay a few days to explore the island, it is far the best way to rent your own motorcycle.

You can get one in the main tourist center of San Juan for 250-350 pesos per day. The journey from San Juan to the Cambugahay Falls usually lasts 25-30 minutes on the circle fenial road.

The road is in good condition and you can park your motorcycle right next to the staircase to the waterfall (signposted). It only takes about 5 minutes to reach the main waterfall lagoon from the entrance.

If you don't want to rent a bicycle, you can take a tricycle taxi to the Cambugahay Falls at any time. However, make sure to exchange at a fair price.

The main attraction of the Cambugahay Falls is the lowest level where there is a wide, 2 meter high waterfall that falls into a deep, blue pool (lagoon). There is a bamboo raft and a swing that have prepared the locals for their pleasure.

It costs them 50 PHP, but they can be unlimited - in my opinion it is definitely worth it!

During a visit, absolutely go upstream to visit the other levels and the more remote cold springs and lagoons.

TIP: Cambugahay Falls is Siquijors most popular attraction. Definitely arrive early to defeat the masses! We arrived here shortly after sunrise and had the place for over an hour for ourselves!
