About this tour
Dumaguete is one of the Philippines' most liveable cities — a university town of 120,000 with a tree-lined seaside boulevard, excellent restaurants and a reputation as the most welcoming city in the islands. The city tour covers Silliman University (the oldest American university in Asia, established 1901, beautiful campus), Rizal Boulevard (the sunset strip of restaurants and bars facing the sea), and the Belfry of Dumaguete (a Spanish watchtower that served as a lookout against Moro raids).
The highlight is Casaroro Falls in Valencia — a 30-minute drive followed by a 30-minute downhill hike through the jungle to a 30m waterfall dropping into a deep natural pool. The hike is steep but well-maintained.

Frequently asked questions
What is a silvanas?
A Dumaguete specialty — layers of buttercream and cookie wafer, frozen. Comparable to an ice cream sandwich but better. Every visitor leaves with a box.
