Two quiet weeks weave through Siquijor’s palm-lined roads, Camiguin’s hot-and-cold springs, and Apo Island’s turtle-filled reefs. Keep bases simple, mornings unhurried, and add a couple of tide-smart dinners and blue-hour photo strolls so the days breathe.
Route at a glance
Days 1–5 Siquijor → Days 6–10 Camiguin → Days 11–13 Apo Island (via Dauin, Negros) → Day 14 Departure buffer. Fewer moves, more moments.
Days 1–5 — Siquijor slow magic
- Coastal loop by scooter or tricycle: picnic stops, palm tunnels, and tiny coves for reading and swims.
- Cambugahay Falls & Salagdoong: swim, rope swings, cliff jumps (scope depth, follow local advice).
- Sunset rituals: tide-line walks and simple seafood grills.
If you’re curating hush-over-hype stays, this map of no-party hideaways helps you pick a quiet base that still sits close to cafés.
Days 6–10 — Camiguin island of springs
- White Island & Mantigue: sandbar mornings and reef time when the water is glassy.
- Springs trio: hot, cold, and soda pools—perfect after easy hikes.
- Waterfalls & viewpoints: Tuasan, Katibawasan, and a golden-hour lookout.
Planning multi-leg ferries and transfers is smoother when a small local team ties it together—hand things off to island fixers who coordinate end-to-end.
Days 11–13 — Apo Island turtles and reef gardens
Base in Dauin for two nights and day-trip to Apo. Drift over coral gardens, watch green turtles graze, then linger for pastel skies back on shore. For a simple dinner on the sand, lean on beach dining crews used to the tide so plates arrive just as the light turns gold.
Day 14 — Buffer and goodbyes
Keep a half-day cushion for weather wiggles and ferry timing. A last coffee, a final swim, and you’re set.
What it costs (couple)
- Boutique stays: ₱4,500–₱9,000 per night; upgrades ₱10,000–₱18,000+
- Boats & island fees: day boats and sanctuary tickets add up—set aside a flexible pot
- Meals: ₱400–₱900 per person for casual spots; add a little extra for a sand-side setup
Tiny upgrades that linger
Practical notes
- Routing: ferries shift with seas; keep an eye on schedules and add slack between legs.
- Gear: dry bag, mineral sunscreen, reef shoes, lightweight rain layer.
- Etiquette: float over coral, keep music low, pack out every wrapper.
