Another trip has just concluded so a post about itinerary and expenses is in order. This trip is a bit complicated for we traveled through all modes of transportation - ferry, bus, multicab/tricycle and plane, since there is no direct flight from Iloilo to these places. But then, we survived the trip, albeit tired.
Without further ado, I am sharing to you our travel itinerary and expenses:

Notes:
- I didn't include food expenses in the list as we all have different preferences when it comes to food. For this trip, the average amount we spent is roughly Php 300 per meal. Of course it can go lower or higher (mostly) depending on our mood (and hunger!).
- Breakfast meals in Coral Cay usually cost not more than Php 300. Lunch and dinner meals (fish menus, steaks, etc) on the other hand usually cost more than that. There are also two restaurants nearby (along the highway), serving food from breakfast to dinner: Dagsa Restobar and D' Barkads. The price range in Dagsa is almost the same as in Coral Cay Resto and cheaper in D' Barkads. There is also a carinderia but I cannot vouch for the quality of food since we haven't eaten there.
- If your budget is flexible, I suggest you take the Ocean Jet fast craft for your Dumaguete-Siquijor (vice-versa) since it is faster (travel time is 45 minutes only) and less "bumpy".
* This is just first part of my Dumaguete - Siquijor trip post. Watch out for more in the coming days.
