QUICK ANSWERS – LUGNASON FALLS IN SIQUIJOR
Let’s start this guide with the essentials you should know about Lugnason Falls, from the location to how to get there and more.

HOW TO GET TO LUGNASON FALLS SIQUIJOR?
There are a couple of options for reaching the beautiful 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 the falls.
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 Zodiac 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.
Last but not least, an excellent option to get here is to join a tour from Dumaguete, and you’ll find more information below!

HOW MUCH IS LUGNASON FALLS ENTRANCE FEE?
The Lugnason Falls entrance fee is FREE, though you may be asked to pay a small parking fee of 10 pesos.
ARRIVING AT THE ZODIAC FALLS
When you arrive at the Google maps pin location, you’ll have to park your scooter on the side of the road and head down the trail from here.
Note that, in case you need to ask directions to locals, some people call them “Lugnasan Falls” so keep that in mind.
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 the 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.
It’s 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 the falls is what makes this place so tranquil and I highly recommend adding this amazing attraction to your Siquijor itinerary!

OTHER POINTS OF INTEREST
Don’t end the adventure here as there are more unique spots to be found in the same valley as Lugnason. 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 they made for the perfect photo opportunity under the shade of the coconut palm trees.
MUST READ: BEST TRAVEL ACCESSORIES FOR ANY TRIP
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.
I also recommend checking out Lagaan Falls and Cambugahay Falls on the same day.
