Restricted aquatic activities in Tubod Marine Sanctuary

Published on: January 1st, 2024  •  Comments closed

To improve your stay and honour local environmental regulations, we advise all guests planning a visit to familiarise themselves with the new fishing ban ordinance in place for the entire year of 2024.

According to local ordinance 2023-23, there will be a temporary halt on certain aquatic activities in the municipality of San Juan.

  • Diving is prohibited in municipal waters of San Juan for three days following the new moon
  • Snorkeling and swimming within the Tubod Marine Sanctuary are also restricted during this period

But don’t worry if you’re looking forward to swimming in the beautiful turquoise waters. You can still swim in the areas with white sand from 6:00 AM to 5:00 PM.

The ordinance highlights a commitment to protecting the marine ecosystem of Siquijor Island, ensuring that guests can still enjoy the natural beauty and serenity the island offers.

The ordinance will take effect on the following 3 days following a new moon:

 

MONTH DAY 1 DAY 2 DAY 3
January 12 13 14
February 10 11 12
March 11 12 13

August 5 6 7
September 3 4 5
October 3 4 5
November 2 3 4

Guests are encouraged to plan their stay and activities accordingly, and encourage exploring the island’s rich cultural heritage and stunning natural landscapes, all while contributing to the sustainability and protection of its marine environment.

Thank you for all your kind emails, messages of concern and support regarding Super Typhoon Yolanda.

We would like to let everyone know that we are all okay and that Siquijor as well as Apo Island were not impacted by the storms.

However, as you may have seen on the news, other areas in the Philippines were severely devastated. If you would like to help donate to those who were affected and their families, you can visit: Red Cross Philippines.

The Philippines is a beautiful and resilient country. We will get through this together. We will keep you updated for any further weather reports and news.

On October 15, 2013 we experienced the affects of the 7.2 magnitude earthquake that hit Bohol in the Central Visayas. We want to let everyone know that we are all safe and unharmed. Fortunately, also none of the buildings and facilities in the resort were damaged.

We would like to extend our deepest condolences for those who were affected by the earthquake.

Thank you so much for all you kind messages and letting us know your concerns for our staff and the resort.

If you are travelling from Dumaguete, it should be safe to travel to Siquijor. If you are travelling from Cebu, please take care as there may still be some aftershocks.

Most of the transport services including Buses and Ferries are running again.
