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.

What to know before visiting Dumaguete

Dumaguete at a glance

Dumaguete is a laid-back coastal city known for tours and outdoor experiences, with most bookings concentrated in sightseeing and guided day trips. Demand on Klook peaks in June and drops off by October, giving the city a clear high-season rhythm.

Best times to visit and price rhythm

According to Klook booking data, June is the busiest month while October sees the lowest booking demand. Prices stay very low through July–November and then rise sharply into February, which Klook data shows as typically the priciest month. If you want lower prices and smaller crowds, aim for the July–November window; for the peak-season atmosphere and the busiest activity lineup, visit in June. On Klook the busiest month (June) and the priciest month (February) do not align with the cheapest months (July–November), so you can often avoid crowds without paying the February-level prices.

Tips for travellers from the United States

Most visitors from the United States book activities a few days out—Klook data shows typical bookings happen around two days before travel, with many last-minute options available one day out. If you plan to travel in June (the peak), consider securing popular tours a week in advance to be safe; for trips in the quieter months you can be more spontaneous. Use Klook to compare available tour times and lock in what fits your schedule.
