💡 Tips

The fast ferry to Liloan (Cebu) is the most efficient way to travel between islands; the trip takes only about 20 minutes.
Dumaguete's airport is actually located in Sibulan, making transfers to coastal resorts very convenient.
Use tricycles for short distances within the town; always agree on the fare before starting your journey.
Plan a trip to the Twin Lakes Balinsasayao, as Sibulan is the main gateway to this impressive natural park.
Keep an eye on the tide schedules when visiting public beaches, as the water recedes quite far during low tide.
