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.

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.

good staff, very accomodating, however we would have loved our room to be cleaned daily or our trash to be picked up daily.

What to know before visiting Dumaguete

Quick snapshot of Dumaguete and what to expect

Dumaguete is a relaxed coastal city known for its tours and outdoor activities, with Tours being the leading category on Klook. Demand ebbs and flows through the year, with distinct high and low months that shape when the city feels busiest.

Best months to visit for crowds and prices

According to Klook booking data, June is the peak month for demand while October sees the lowest demand. Prices mostly stay low through July–January at around the same level, then jump in February and remain higher into March before easing again—so demand and price only align in some months. If you want smaller crowds and lower prices, choose October or the July–January stretch when prices are generally lower; for peak-season atmosphere pick June when demand is highest.

Tips for travellers from Malaysia

Travellers from Malaysia usually book trips to Dumaguete fairly close to departure: typical bookings happen about 2 days ahead, with many last-minute options available within a day and early planners booking around a week. If you’re flexible, you can book Tours a day or two before; if travelling in June, consider booking earlier to secure popular slots. Use Klook to lock in activities once your dates are set to avoid missing must-do tours.
