-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 09462014895
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? ;)

-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.

Wauw! Sipalay is such an amazing hidden gem. It stole my heart really. Hard to describe why, but just a combination of things. The people, the islands, the beach, the food and the funky hotel might've helped ;)
To answer the most asked question: nope! I am not in the Philippines right now. I am always back home when new video's come up :) Editing is done at home since it takes too much time. When you see a video appear, you can assume I am in Amsterdam ;)
With love!
Hope you'll enjoy and leave your thoughts :D

It's beautiful. Off the beaten path it seems and from the video, not a lot of tourists. Great for a quiet vacation. I'll be sure to put it on my bucket list.

I swear you make one of the best travel vids. I do follow more than 20 vloggers and yours admittedly is not excitingly anticipated BUT every time after I'm done watching your vids, they truly are gems that need to be kept and brought out once travelling options are discussed. The narration, the back ground music, the cinematography, your voice....just perfect!
this is definitely one of my favorites from your vlog.

I love your travel vlogs because they have narrations.

Great vlog
Born and raised in that tiny city but man i was never bored! Fishing was one of my hobbies growing up and I'd usually head out to the island that looks like a giant turtle and fish in one of the caves there! Man i missed it, I'm currently living in Tennessee, and i showed my girlfriend this video and she got so excited of how beautiful it is there. We have to go back so that she can see the beauty of all of it.
Thanks for sharing your experience! I hope you come back again soon.

Been toying with adding Negros to our travels in the Philippines. We love Port Barton too so this sounds like our kind of place! Loving that light switch haha
Cool! If you love PB I suspect you'll love this one too 😁
Let me know should you need some information about Negros. Will be more than willing to provide you with info. To start, following are tourists spots you may want to check out: 1) Apo Island - protected marine sanctuary where you can swim with turtles. Gretl made a vlog about it too. 2) Dolphin watching and Manjuyod Sand Bar 3) Other spots like Siquijor and southern Cebu (Oslob's Whale Shark and Kawasan Falls) is very much accessible from Negros as well. Enjoy the Philippines!
Lovely I love it i never travel in my whole life like that.
This channel deserves a hype!!! ❤❤❤❤ thank you for coming back again and again and again to the PH 😁😁 enjoy and more travelsssss with gretl
Ok im convinced. I'll find a way to go to Sipalay ASAP!
