Before you book

A guide is mandatory
No one snorkels the sanctuary unaccompanied. Guides are accredited and assigned at the entrance hut.
Rates are per person
Siquijor residents, students, seniors and PWDs qualify for reduced tiers. Bring valid identification.
Equipment is separate
Masks, snorkels, fins and vests are rented from the hut and are not included in the package price.
Swimming ability matters
The reef trail runs about 200 m offshore in 6–20 ft of water. The mangrove and seagrass zones stay shallow.
Reef-safe sunscreen only
Standard sunscreens bleach coral. Bring a mineral-based product, or cover up instead.
Take nothing
Shells, coral and starfish stay where they are. Lifting a starfish out of the water suffocates it.

Online booking opens soon. For now, book at the entrance hut or arrange group visits through the sanctuary office.
