- 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 - goo.gl/nCLS7A
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 - goo.gl/Ty2FA9
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.
