Lola was the best diving master ever. She explained a lot of important things about dive and made me feel a comfortable and most enjoyable dive with very kindness and fine explanations. Thanks a lot and I hope to join Bobgobongo vivers again.

Great 4.0
Make this more precise Our trip is cancelled without prior notice but we decided to reschedule the trip the day after our official schedule and the agency arranged it again. The tour is really worth it if you have limited time because it is very convenient setup since tourist spots are far from each stop so doing DIY trip would be hard to go around the siquijor.

What to know before visiting Dumaguete

Quick snapshot of Dumaguete and what travellers book

Dumaguete is a relaxed coastal city where tours make up the largest share of Klook bookings, and demand peaks sharply in early summer. Bookings rise and fall through the year, with a clear busy season around June and much lighter demand in October.

Best months to visit and how prices move

Klook data show demand peaks in June and reaches a low point in October. Prices stay very low across much of the year but climb in late winter, with March typically the priciest month and July typically the cheapest. For lower prices and smaller crowds, aim for July through October; for peak-season atmosphere and the busiest activity options, June is the month to target. Demand and price mostly move differently here — peak demand in June does not align with the priciest month, which comes earlier in March.

Travel tips for travellers

Most experiences in Dumaguete can be booked close to travel — Klook’s aggregate booking patterns suggest travellers typically book a couple of days ahead, with last-minute bookings possible about a day out and earlier planning around a week. If you want flexibility, you can decide plans at short notice; if you plan to travel in June’s busy period, consider securing popular tours a few days earlier. Use Klook to compare available tours and lock in the options that suit your schedule.
