Hi All, We'll be in Dumaguete on Jan. 23 - 26 (Fri - Mon) Total Number of Participants: 7 Inbound Flight Sched (Date/Time of Departure/Arrival): Day Jan. 23 7:40am (5 of us) 2:40pm (2 with late flights) Outbound Flight Sched (Date/Time of Departure/Arrival): 4:25PM (everyone) Target Budget: 3k minimum per person that excludes airfare. We'd like visit all 4 places squeezed in those 4 days. I was also hoping if you can assist us with regards to schedules and stuff. We'll be 7 in a group. We we're plannin on doing this: 1st day Dumaguete tour. 2nd day Siquijor tour and overnight 3rd day Bais, Manjuyod Sand Bar, Apo Island 3rd Day back in Dumaguete city Is there a boat coming from siquijor straight to Bais just to save time? Thanks for your assistance.
I don't think this is possible, at least not in that order. You can't do Bais, Sandbar and Apo in one day, but here is something what could work (even it's wat to squeezed: 1st day Dumaguete 2nd day Bais, Sandbar, evening ferry to Siquijor 3rd Siquijor afternoon with a private booked boat to Apo 4th around lunch public small banca back to Malatapay and airport. but it is a hassle to do that and depending on the conditions of the sea.
7 grand?! wow. . . that's quite expensive. 1st day Dumaguete 2nd day Bais, Sandbar 3rd Siquijor tour, and hopefully find a cheaper boat for Apo. If not, gotta skip that part. 4th Check-out siquijor 9:00am and back to Dumaguete city.
Bais to Apo would be a loooong ride and I don't think you can get someone to do it. I think you could get a cheaper trip from Siquijor to Apo but that would be with a local fisherman and not really safe. You may want to contact the dive-shops in Siquijor if one of them has a trip to Apo scheduled and ask them if they have space for you and your group.
