From real experience

how-toTo travel from Moalboal to Siquijor, one option is to take a ferry from Cebu.
There is a direct ferry daily at 13:00, arriving at 15:00 for 500 pesos. Alternatively, one can take buses from Moalboal to Oslob (with two transfers) and then a boat from Oslob to Siquijor (2 hours, 700 pesos). Another route involves going to Larena via bus and then taking a ferry. Traveling via Negros, from Dumaguete to Siquijor, is also possible.
