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

What to expect in Dumaguete

Dumaguete is a compact seaside destination where Tours top visitor activity, with most bookings concentrated on guided trips and day excursions. The city’s rhythm swings through the year: Klook booking data shows a clear summer spike in June, while October is substantially quieter. Packable outdoor activities and coastal exploration define the offer, and visitors choose between relaxed low-season days and the livelier June peak. Choose between quieter months or the June buzz — Klook booking data helps you time the kind of trip you want.

Best months to visit and typical prices

June stands out as the busiest month while October is the quietest, and prices follow their own pattern across the year. Klook booking data shows demand peaks in June, and the priciest median prices appear in May, whereas the lowest typical prices cluster in July and August. That means the busiest month is not exactly the most expensive: for lower prices and smaller crowds aim for July or August; for peak-season atmosphere pick June.

Month Demand Level Typical Price
January About average SGD 14
February About average SGD 17
March Quieter than usual SGD 10
April Quieter than usual SGD 12
May Busier than usual SGD 60
June Peak demand SGD 10
July Busier than usual SGD 9
August Quieter than usual SGD 9
September Quieter than usual SGD 17
October Very quiet SGD 14
November About average SGD 17
December About average SGD 14

Demand is bookings in that month compared with a typical month, from historical Klook booking data, grouped into the demand levels above; typical price is the median paid on Klook in that month; prices are shown with their currency code. Based on Klook booking data, July 2025 – June 2026.

Tips for travellers from Singapore

Most travellers book fairly close to travel: on average they reserve activities about 2 days ahead, with the earliest planners booking around one week out. That short lead time gives flexibility to decide last-minute, but during the June peak you’ll want to lock popular Tours earlier. Use Klook to compare typical prices and secure spots on guided trips — bookings show noticeable spikes in June and much lower medians in July and August, so plan timing based on whether you prioritise crowds or savings.
