To get to Cambugahay Falls, also known as the Milky Falls, you need to walk down 135 steps. The famous Tarzan swing is located here.

Here, you can enjoy performances by divers from all over the world. This place is also one of the famous Instagram-worthy spots in Siquijor.
The lake is very beautiful. I heard that there are three waterfalls. Time is limited. Only the first one is great. The water is milky so there is no visibility underwater. Many people experience diving. There are life jackets for rent. It is expensive. It is better to swim with water sleeves. The place to change the swimsuit is simple. It is surrounded by cloth. It is recommended to wear them in advance. Very happy to play in the water
Xiquijor is one of the most interesting places on Sikihal Island. Multistage waterfall, the lowest level of the pool is the milk lake. There are many rattan diving points around, each jumping point 50 P infinite jump.
Participate in a local one-day tour of a tourist attraction, mainly two diving projects, many tourists participate in, very exciting, water is very clear can not diving swimming, the surrounding scenery is very beautiful, basically are team tourists.
I have been there in 2019. In tin island, the water is very invited, the tree raft diving is very famous, and the black suit is also very good. It is worth a try and see.
Sikihal is a very primitive island. It can rent motorcycles, jeep or Tutu cars around the island. Generally, it takes 3.4 hours to walk through several famous scenic spots around the island, such as tree and vine diving, cliff diving, pipeline entering the sea. Brave people must try. Grasp the trees and rattan swing around, then dive, the water is not deep can stand, under the rapids and waterfalls can also take a shower, or to a cliff diving. About 5-10m depth can choose the various facilities here are not perfect, do not recommend living here, often blackouts, no hot water, the island hotel is very few, you can stay in Dumagueidi and then boat back and forth, Sikihal is a well-known local witchcraft island, these years more and more tourists know the island, slowly developed, hoping to retain it forever. The simplest folk custom and the most beautiful scenery.
Cambugahay falls is truly an amazing experience for me as a solo traveller. Im not sure if I would still be able to do the adventures I did before as things are very different now having a small family. I really look vack to the memories I had in this place as I did cliff diving and I was brave to do it without any life vest or jacket. I was young and carefree. perhaps I could only go back fora tour with my little one now but not so much of the adventure side anymore
one of the many memorable places ,things ive done and visited. i jumped off a what is like a ''baging'' just a hanging rope back then without life vest. lol i think it has improved now ang improvised and life vests are provided now for safety to tourists
