We went on a boat trip in Siquijor at around 4 in the afternoon, guided by a local fisherman who knew the area by heart. It was a slow, peaceful ride along the coast, with calm waters and a soft breeze. We didn’t swim, just sat back and enjoyed the quiet views from the boat. As we passed by small coves and beaches, we saw people from other resorts swimming, paddleboarding, and lounging by the shore.
The fisherman pointed out familiar landmarks and shared bits of local life, making the ride feel even more personal. As the sun began to set, the sky turned warm shades of orange and pink, casting a golden glow over the water. It was the kind of moment that makes you pause—simple, beautiful, and very Siquijor. A quiet afternoon well spent.
