HOW TO GET TO LUGNASON FALLS
There’s a couple of options on how to get to Lugnason Falls in Siquijor, and they are by scooter, habal habal or tricycle.
You can rent a scooter in Siquijor for as little as 250 pesos per day and make your own way over to Lugnason Falls. I also recommend checking out Lagaan Falls and Cambugahay Falls on the same day!
When you arrive in Siquijor by ferry, you’ll find that there are half a dozen scooter rental stores located at the ferry terminal which is super convenient. You can pick up a set of wheels for the time you plan to spend on Siquijor Island.
If you are not confident driving a scooter, the other option is to hail down a tricycle or habal habal (motorbike taxi) along the main road in San Juan and get a ride to Siquijor Lugnason Falls.
The cost depends on how good your bartering skills are, though for a 15-minute drive you can expect to pay around 100-150 pesos.

Sometimes at the entrance, local guides will offer to take you down to the falls but this is not necessary as the trail is clearly marked.
It takes around 15-minutes to walk along a dirt trail through the forest to reach Lugnason Falls.

WHAT TO EXPECT AT LUGNASON FALLS
Lugnason Falls features a 5 meter waterfall and a large spring filled with blue Gatorade colored water. It’s an adventurer’s playground and reminded me of the blue ass water that I found at Kawasan Falls in Cebu.
Lugnason Falls is a great spot to hang out and go swimming under the falls to cool off. For the thrill-seekers, jumping from the top of the falls into the catch basin below is a lot of fun too!
The lush jungle that surrounds Lugnason Falls is what makes this place so tranquil and I highly recommend adding this spot to your Siquijor itinerary!

Don’t end the adventure here as there are more unique spots to be found in the same valley as Lugnason Falls. Follow the jungle trail downstream to where you will find man-made aqua ducts and an epic cold spring perfect for swimming!
I have never seen anything like these concrete water chutes and it made for the perfect photo opportunity under the shade of the coconut palm trees.
Instead of heading back to the entrance the same way you came, you can find a set of steep wooden stairs near the cold spring that lead up and out of the valley to the main road. When you reach the top, turn right and this will take you back to where you parked your scooter.
