    I would decide based on how many days I was there. If it was just a few days then the rental fee (taking advice from above members on how to find a cheap rental on Siquijor) might be much cheaper than the cost of bringing your mc. Assuming you are returning to Moalboal: Compare (mc fuel cost Moalboal to Dumaguete Port + ferry cost for mc Cebu to Negros + ferry cost mc Dumaguete to Siquijor) X2 WITH (bus fares (no mc) Moalboal to Dumaguete Port) X2 + rental fee on Siquijor for mc. Other costs such as your ferry fares are irrelevant as they factor in for both choices; if you travel far from Siquijor port before hiring the mc then the cost (X2) for that part will be relevant. With all the extra ferry fares, I am guessing that renting a mc in Siquijor will win.

    As of a few months ago Maayo shiupping ran Santander/Larena every day at 10 am. and also had a boat that ran Tampi/larena. You would have to contact Maayo to find out for certain what or if that is an option now.

    Went last year from DMGTE to Siquor with my own MC. A big palava getting documentation to take MC, seems they think it will be a stolen one and you are trying to sell it.....Plenty of MC to rent there, roads make Negros look like tracks, traffic light and island actually fun to explore by MC. Normal 110/125 cc MC will struggle on some of the hills across the middle. For us a worthwhile experience if you can put up with the MC owned by yourself passing stupid PP procedures. Have fun. As for snorkeling, there are places to do this but not in my mind a main stream activity, plenty things to see just exploring the island. Suggest minimum of 2 days. Driving there much higher standard than dangerous dumaguete and helmet MUST be worn.
