{"success":true,"data":{"id":43,"title":"Getting to Siquijor by Sea: The Ports and What to Check","slug":"Getting-to-Siquijor-by-Sea:-Ports-Routes-and-Reported-Crossing-Times","content":"<p>Siquijor is an island province, so the usual way to reach it is by boat. Operators, timetables, fares and crossing times change often, so this article covers only the ports and the checks worth making before travel.</p>\n\n<h2>Where the boats arrive</h2>\n<p>Siquijor has two main public seaports. The Port of Siquijor, in the capital town of Siquijor, is described by the provincial tourism office as the main gateway for tourists, since ships and fast craft from Dumaguete City dock there. The Port of Larena, in Larena, is the island's major commercial port and is generally described as the larger of the two.</p>\n<p>Dumaguete City, on neighboring Negros island, is the departure point most visitors use. Boats also link Siquijor with other Visayan ports, but operators and routes change over time, so confirm them with the operator before planning around them.</p>\n<p>Siquijor town and Larena are separate municipalities about 10 kilometers apart, so check which port your ticket uses before booking accommodation. See the separate article on getting around the island for moving on from the port.</p>\n\n<h2>Checking before you go</h2>\n<p>Fares and timetables on aggregator websites are often copied from older data. Look for the operator's own channel or the ticket office at the pier, confirm which pier the boat uses, and ask whether luggage or a rented vehicle can go on board. Sailings in the Philippines can be delayed or suspended in rough weather, so leave slack when connecting to flights.</p>\n\n<h2>Good to know</h2>\n<ul>\n<li>Fast craft usually carry passengers only, and vehicles generally travel on conventional roll-on, roll-off (RoRo) ferries. Verify with the operator.</li>\n<li>Fares are deliberately not listed, because they vary by operator and class and change over time.</li>\n<li>Bring a valid government-issued ID; operators may ask for it, and discounted fares require it.</li>\n<li>Leave a buffer of several hours between a ferry and an onward flight in case of weather delays.</li>\n</ul>","featureStartsOn":null,"featureEndsOn":null,"createdByAdministratorId":1,"status":"Published","media":[{"name":"An OceanJet fast craft at the Port of Siquijor","type":"image","credit":"Lawrence Ruiz · CC BY-SA 4.0 · Wikimedia Commons","creditUrl":"https://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/File:OceanJet_6.JPG","url":{"original":"https://srptrblsouylufxnqvxw.supabase.co/storage/v1/object/public/siquijor/images/commons/oceanjet-6-0e3fc1f3-large.jpg","large":"https://srptrblsouylufxnqvxw.supabase.co/storage/v1/object/public/siquijor/images/commons/oceanjet-6-0e3fc1f3-large.jpg","medium":"https://srptrblsouylufxnqvxw.supabase.co/storage/v1/object/public/siquijor/images/commons/oceanjet-6-0e3fc1f3-medium.jpg","small":"https://srptrblsouylufxnqvxw.supabase.co/storage/v1/object/public/siquijor/images/commons/oceanjet-6-0e3fc1f3-small.jpg","thumbnail":"https://srptrblsouylufxnqvxw.supabase.co/storage/v1/object/public/siquijor/images/commons/oceanjet-6-0e3fc1f3-thumbnail.jpg"},"isDefault":true},{"name":"The pier at Siquijor town","type":"image","credit":"Starlet · CC BY-SA 3.0 · Wikimedia Commons","creditUrl":"https://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/File:Pier_in_Siquijor_City,_Philippines.JPG","url":{"original":"https://srptrblsouylufxnqvxw.supabase.co/storage/v1/object/public/siquijor/images/commons/pier-in-siquijor-city-philippines-1994355a-large.jpg","large":"https://srptrblsouylufxnqvxw.supabase.co/storage/v1/object/public/siquijor/images/commons/pier-in-siquijor-city-philippines-1994355a-large.jpg","medium":"https://srptrblsouylufxnqvxw.supabase.co/storage/v1/object/public/siquijor/images/commons/pier-in-siquijor-city-philippines-1994355a-medium.jpg","small":"https://srptrblsouylufxnqvxw.supabase.co/storage/v1/object/public/siquijor/images/commons/pier-in-siquijor-city-philippines-1994355a-small.jpg","thumbnail":"https://srptrblsouylufxnqvxw.supabase.co/storage/v1/object/public/siquijor/images/commons/pier-in-siquijor-city-philippines-1994355a-thumbnail.jpg"}},{"name":"Larena Port, Siquijor","type":"image","credit":"Lawrence Ruiz · CC BY-SA 4.0 · Wikimedia Commons","creditUrl":"https://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/File:Larena_Port_01.JPG","url":{"original":"https://srptrblsouylufxnqvxw.supabase.co/storage/v1/object/public/siquijor/images/commons/larena-port-01-76a7761e-large.jpg","large":"https://srptrblsouylufxnqvxw.supabase.co/storage/v1/object/public/siquijor/images/commons/larena-port-01-76a7761e-large.jpg","medium":"https://srptrblsouylufxnqvxw.supabase.co/storage/v1/object/public/siquijor/images/commons/larena-port-01-76a7761e-medium.jpg","small":"https://srptrblsouylufxnqvxw.supabase.co/storage/v1/object/public/siquijor/images/commons/larena-port-01-76a7761e-small.jpg","thumbnail":"https://srptrblsouylufxnqvxw.supabase.co/storage/v1/object/public/siquijor/images/commons/larena-port-01-76a7761e-thumbnail.jpg"}}],"createdAt":"2026-10-07T14:42:29.125Z","updatedAt":"2026-10-07T16:36:15.102Z","deletedAt":null,"createdByAdministrator":{"id":1,"username":"ynnorj","firstName":"Jronny","lastName":"Amarante","birthdate":"1990-01-01","address":null,"nationality":"Philippines","gender":"Male","type":"Administrator","imageUrl":null,"createdAt":"2026-05-30T18:07:33.311Z","updatedAt":"2026-05-30T18:07:33.311Z","deletedAt":null,"roleId":1,"permissions":null,"fullName":"Jronny Amarante","label":"Jronny Amarante","age":36,"isAdult":true,"hasActiveVisitorCard":false},"defaultImageUrl":"https://srptrblsouylufxnqvxw.supabase.co/storage/v1/object/public/siquijor/images/commons/oceanjet-6-0e3fc1f3-large.jpg","defaultThumbnailImageUrl":"https://srptrblsouylufxnqvxw.supabase.co/storage/v1/object/public/siquijor/images/commons/oceanjet-6-0e3fc1f3-thumbnail.jpg","defaultMediumImageUrl":"https://srptrblsouylufxnqvxw.supabase.co/storage/v1/object/public/siquijor/images/commons/oceanjet-6-0e3fc1f3-medium.jpg","defaultSmallImageUrl":"https://srptrblsouylufxnqvxw.supabase.co/storage/v1/object/public/siquijor/images/commons/oceanjet-6-0e3fc1f3-small.jpg","imageUrl":"https://srptrblsouylufxnqvxw.supabase.co/storage/v1/object/public/siquijor/images/commons/oceanjet-6-0e3fc1f3-large.jpg","excerpt":"Siquijor is an island province, so the usual way to reach it is by boat.
