Dauin | Dumaguete | Negros Oriental | Philippines | Female Solo Traveler
Just a 20 minute ride from Dumaguete lays Dauin. It’s famous for scuba diving and trips to Apo Island. There are a lot of resorts along the beach offering the trips.
If you don’t want to go diving or snorkeling, you can get around and visit some highlights in the area.

--DAUIN THINGS TO DO--
I visited:
►Casaroro falls
►Twin Lakes
►Smokey mountain (just along the road)
I got on the back of a motor cycle which costed me 2000 pesos for the whole day, private tour. Not sure if lunch was supposed to be included. My guide paid for me but I paid it back later
The resort I stayed in doesn’t normally offer trips like this. It was specially arranged for me.
Along the way you pay little entrance fees at both locations, and you need to register.
►Casaroro falls
It’s a lot of steps to go down! And then there used to be a path, but it was washed away with a flood / tyfoon. Get ready to get over some wet stones - wear good shoes - and prepare for wet feet. Journey is rewarding though. Falls are high, and not crowded.
►Twin Lakes
Very silent place. Looks like Austria to be honest!
Get a boat over the lake - 150 pesos per hour for the kayak, going around yourself. Or 250 per hour to get a bigger boat with boatman.
To see twin lakes viewpoint and visit the small falls you’ll need at least 1/5 to 2 hours.
There is a small restaurant with view over the lake for lunch. But there are lots of picknick spots as well.
I suspect this place is busy in the weekend and holidays, when people will have a picknick here.
NOTE: you are not allowed to fly a drone over the lakes. It’s a protected area.
--SLEEP IN DAUIN--
►Mikes Dauin Resort -
Recommended in the area. Friendly staff, good beds, little pool and lots of divers! Good food also. This is the place I stayed in and it did not disappoint.
Other options:
►Pura Vida -
Close to the place I stayed in and it looked good from the outside! Pictures online make me curious too
--EAT IN DAUIN--
Just walk along the beach, and stop where ever you want a bite. I liked the food at Mike’s and since I was traveling alone, I don’t feel the need to go out for food all the time ;)

--TEXT IN THE VIDEO--
It’s a relatively short hop from Siquijor to Dumaguete.
Drive 20 minutes south, and you’ll end up in Dauin.
A sleepy little town, with some very nice resorts along the beach.
With Apo Island just around the corner, scuba diving is by far the nr 1 attraction here.
But if you’re not a diver, it’s highly recommended to head this way…
Being so long and narrow, makes this waterfall unique. The water drops over 30 meter before it smashes into the natural pool underneath.
Thick clouds of sulfur just leak out of the mountain, climbing up to the sky. It’s a fascinating choreography, almost hypnotizing…
High up in the mountains, the twin lakes are hidden. It’s an important bird area with a high number of endangered species. But what you’ll mostly notice is how quiet and peaceful it is up here. A place to wind down, far from daily life..
They say still waters run deep, in this case even to 90 meters.
If you make it to the other side, you’ll be rewarded with yet an other little waterfall.
The last stop of the lake, will give you a great view over the two twins.

Sipalay Travel | HIDDEN PARADISE | Negros Occidendal Philippines Travel Guides
This week we travel to Sipalay. What an amazing place! Find all information down below :D
--FOLLOW--
►Facebook:
►Instagram:
--HOW TO GET TO SIPALAY--
Take the direct bus from Bacolod (about 5 hours) to Sipalay town. Or a minivan (p350). Minivan is a bit faster than the big bus, but since it might take a longer time to leave and you’re more cramped inside, I am not sure what the best option would be. I like the big bus better ;)
From Dumaguete: take a bus to Bayawan, Hinoba-an. It will cost you 6 to 7 hours. It will cost you just over 200 pesos with public transport (p120 + p75 + p35). If you hire a van it would be 5000 in total, which is not worth it if you are a solo traveler like me ;)
If you stay in Dauin, no need to go to the busstop in town. It’ll pass by the resort. Unless you want to be certain to be seated ;)
And it might seem complicated (as a foreigner) to go from bus to bus, but people are very helpful along the way and if you leave one bus, the next one will be already there! No worries. It’s just a day you lose on traveling. But it’s worth it ;)
--WHAT TO SEE IN SIPALAY--
I did two tours.
► One was to Danjugan island (next video).
► The other tour was a tour to the highlights of the main land.
p1000 for half a day or p1500 for a day trip. It’s a trycicle trip, so again, make friends and you’ll split the costs.
You need to pay entrance fees along the way (from 30 pesos to 80 pesos according to the place) and lunch is not included.
What I saw was 2 resorts (including perth resort, with the infinity pool) – the cave which is really cool! (100 pesos for the guide with light, I gave him 150 since it was quite a hike).
You can arrange this tour with Roland Dequina – rolandtours.wordpress.com or 09489358749
Tell him you found him through this video! Not because he’ll charge a fee for me ;) Just because it’s nice to know how people find out about you And I am curious for that as well!
I believe you can also get into a kano, more island hopping, archery…. There is a whole lot more to explore but I’ll leave that to you!
--WHERE TO SLEEP IN SIPALAY--
I would highly recommend Takatuka Lodge! Love the place! Inspired on Pippi Longstocking’s tale, with a lot of weird rooms all over the place. Different themes like the cave room, superstar, rockadilly, a castle… you name it ;) It’s seriously the best hotel I’ve been in in the Philippines (and I have been to a lot I love ;) – It’s so funky and unique, the owners and staff are friendly and helpful, the food is great, they attract friendly guests, the beach is just there. AMAZING! Seriously. Go here. GO! What are you waiting for? ;)
► Find Takatuka here:
--WHERE TO EAT IN SIPALAY--
Because I stayed on Sugar Beach, there’s not much options to get out for dinner. You can’t just leave and get back after dark I stayed at Takatuka mainly for food, and it’s good! Not cheap but a whole lot of variety, and great healthy stuff.
