Where is Lagaan Falls Siquijor

The Lagaan Falls Siquijor is located on the southern side of the island, with the route starting inland from the Siquijor Circumferential Road. It is close to other attractions such as Cambugahay Falls and the Enchanted Balete Tree.

Below I have pinned the exact location of the waterfall to make it easier for you to find it.

How do I get here?

For those of you who are already on Siquijor and plan to stay a few days to explore the island, renting your own motorbike is by far the best way.

You can get one in the main tourist center of San Juan for 250-350 pesos per day. The drive from San Juan to Lagaan Falls usually takes 25 minutes on the Circumferential Road.

Go to the pin above where you can park your scooter for free.

Alternatively, if you're not keen on motorcycling, you can pay a tricycle driver 150 pesos to drive you to the trailhead.

Alternative: Top Rated Siquijor Tour

Unfortunately there are no guided tours to Lagaan Falls. However, if you're short on time or just want to see the best highlights of Siquijor, including a visit to Cambugahay Falls and cliff jumping at Salagdoong Beach, then it might be a good idea to book a tour.

Note that you can try your luck finding 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 a 4.9/5 star rating on Siquijor.

This trip is really affordable and can actually be cheaper than doing things independently.

Lagaan Falls Siquijor – What to Expect

Entrance fee to Lagaan Falls: PHP 30

When you arrive at the trailhead, you pay the entrance fee and receive a paper ticket receipt. The entry ticket is for Lagaan Falls itself, but parking your bike here is free.

You may also be offered to tour the waterfall with a local guide. This is up to you, but by no means obligatory.

After signing the entry form and paying your fee, you can walk the 15-minute dirt path down to the falls.

The trail is well marked and easy to follow. The surrounding jungle is truly beautiful and the sound of the gentle streams and distant waterfalls is magical.

Below the first level is the largest blue lagoon-style pool. I would say it is about 2 meters tall and features a rope swing. You can also slide down the waterfall on the obviously slippery precipice, popular with locals.

Once you've had your fun at the first waterfall tier, I would recommend continuing the same route to the smaller waterfalls at Lagaan Falls Siquijor. Along the way you'll discover more tranquil cold springs and large swimming holes to enjoy.

There are also plenty of tables to relax and enjoy lunch.
