About the Dumaguete – Siquijor crossing
Six sailings a day from Dumaguete on Negros across to Siquijor — the island's most frequent link and, at PHP 350 in tourist or open-air class, the cheapest crossing anywhere on the OceanJet network.
The nearest door to the island
Departures run at 06.20, 07.20, 11.00, 13.00, 17.30 and 19.10. Nothing else reaches Siquijor this often: Tagbilaran manages two a day and Cebu has no direct sailing at all. If your plans are flexible, arriving via Negros costs less and gives you six chances to get it right.
Business class barely costs more
Upgrading is PHP 580 against 350 — a gap of 230 pesos, where on Tagbilaran–Siquijor the same upgrade costs 400 more. On a short hop the premium is small enough to be worth considering.
Before you go
OceanJet requires check-in at least 30 minutes ahead; miss it and your confirmed seat may be forfeited. Hand baggage is limited to 10 kg.
Your destination
About Siquijor
There is no bridge and no jet airport on Siquijor, so every visitor arrives by sea. The overwhelming majority route through Dumaguete on Negros, a short fast-ferry hop of roughly 40 to 60 minutes with several daily sailings from operators like OceanJet, Aleson Shipping and Montenegro Lines. Longer fastcraft runs also connect from Cebu (about 4+ hours) and Tagbilaran on Bohol. The reward is the Philippines' mystic island: turquoise waterfalls, cliff-jump beaches, folk-healing lore and a stillness the busier islands lost long ago.
