Hi, would anyone know what bus to take if you are going to sibulan from dumaguete city? How about from sibulan to valencia?

Finally, we are planning to follow this itinerary on our first day in Dumaguete:
9:30am - ETD for Sibulan
10am - ETA in Sibulan
- head to Twin Lakes of Balinsasayaw
Lunch
1pm - head to Valencia
Forest Camp and Casaroro Falls
4pm - head back to Dumaguete City

Is this itinerary possible? Would we not have a hard time traveling back to Dumaguete City from Valencia at 4pm?

Also, would anyone have an idea about the schedule of the first bus going to Bais City?

where can we stay in dumaguete???? aside from bethel guest house... is bacolod pensione house ok???? have u heard bout this hotel???? can u help me.. we will be in dumaguete in may 24.... hope 4 ur replies....

Thanks so much! I've already called the Tourist office and booked the boat rental.

I am arriving Dumaguete at 8am and would like to tour the city first before heading to Bais. Do you know anyone who rents a van? The reason why we need to rent (and not use public transport) is because we will have our luggage with us and do not want to carry it around. The only contact I have is charging Php4000 for van which includes fuel and drop off at La Planta Hote BAIS.

Hope you can help me out.

Hi!Can anyone help me with my itenerary:

1) I plan to go to Bais overnight and stay at LA PLANTA, however the numbers given online are all out of service. Does anyone have an updated number? The one I have is 035 5415755 and 035 4038321.

2) I want to go dolphin watching and read that I need to reserve in the tourist office. The number I have is not in service 035 5415161 and 035 4028174. Can anyonw help me update this number or perhaps have a contact of a boatman I can hire? I read it is around Php2500 for a 15-seater boat.

3) In Dumaguete I'll be staying at PURA VIDA. It was recommended by a friend. I saw online that it looks nice. Anyone with feedback?

4) Should I book my APO tour in advance or is it better/cheaper to contact a local when I get there.

Hope someone can help me out.

Thanks!

Hello everybody!

Can anyone here post the current ferry schedule of Dumaguete-Siquijor-Dumaguete. Thanks

Hi,

Anyone here who's going dolphin watching? My sisters and I will be in Dumaguete from Nov 15 to 19. Planning to go dolphin watching but we are hoping we could join a group or have more people to save on boat rental, and also so that we can request the tour operator from the Tourism office at Bais to help prepare lunch. I heard they charge about 250 (?) per hear if we ask them to prepare the lunch kaso they have minimum of 10pax. We are only 3. Also, any suggestions ala off the beaten path things to do in dumaguete? We have schedules in Bais and Apo already. Siquijor is also possible.

Thanks!!

hi guys!

My bf and I are planning to take a week long vacation this coming May 17. We're having problem with regards to transportation. Please advise us. Plane is not an option for us, for there is no direct flight from Legazpi to Dumaguete or Tagbiliran. We're currently staying at Naga city.

Thank you

Hi All,

My friends and I are going to Dumaguete mid April for 4 days. We all love to do snorkeling and beach hopping. Our planned IT is to do a full day in Apo Island and another day in Bais for dolphin watching. We're booking a tour for the Bais trip but we plan to just make our own arrangement for the Apo trip. Is this a good idea? Anybody from Dumaguete who can advise us? What else can we fit for less than a day? What else is a must? :) Thanks in advance.

Liza

Hi all,

Is there a RORO ferry that services the Dumaguete - Santander, Cebu (or any nearby port) route?

If there is, can you tell me about schedules and fares. I plan to take this route on Dec. 2, 2006 from Cebu City.

As for trip details, I plan to ride my motorcycle from Iloilo City via Bacolod City to Cebu City come end of November. That will be two ferry rides from the islands of Iloilo and Negros via the Iloilo - Bacolod and San Carlos - Toledo ferrys.

On the way back from Cebu,I plan to ride down to Santander and take the ferry to Dumaguete and then back to Bacolod. I expect to be back in Iloilo by Sunday, Dec. 3.
