    That is a pretty tough schedule but doable.
    I certainly would skip the 4 hours siquijor tour and would spend a half day in or around Dumaguete.

    Good Idea, save Siquior for when you can stay all night.

    If you're inclined rent a bike and tour Duma. lots of things to see there.

    Cant wait till I move so I can really tour the Island. right after I find a place to live:smile:

    Dolphins are visible all around the year but more from march to early sept. My best trips were in August where the Tanon Strait is usually flat like a mirror.

    I would start much earlier for the Dolphin trip like 5 or 5:30.

    Things to see in and around Dumaguete:
    Dumaguete City Sightseeing
    Sightseeing Around Dumaguete
    Negros Oriental Sightseeing

    Food, many options, always depends on taste and budget, everything in Duma is almost in walking distance and you won't leave hungry.

    Like what the others say, the sched to siquijor is tight. also Hard to do Apo on first day upon arrival. You have to travel almost an hour by bus (if not pre arranged personal transport )from the airport to where you get the boat ride. then one hourboat ride to Apo island... hope the weather cooperates as the rains would be starting then. Anyway welcome...

    Hmm.. sounds bad..as the weather now isn't that good for sea travels.. but we'll see.. anyway, just want to ask also that given these 3 places - apo, bais/manjuyod, siquijor - which one should i really skip?

    where will i also ride bus going to apo?
