The main variation of the 168 Tour will feature 1 amazing island in 6 hours highlighting 8 unforgettable destinations and activities. The original #168Tour is patterned to what #TeamMadanihon experienced during the 1st #InfoTourismAdventureRace on the 22nd Regional Convention of Radio-7.
The First #168Tour (#168TourSiquijor)
The #InfoTourismAdventureRace showcased:
1 Mystical Island - #SensationalSiquijor
6 Towns - The challenge was done across 6 towns. Team Madanihon finished the "race" in 6 hours.
8 Unforgettable Destinations.

- Capilay Spring Park - Siquijor's Public Swimming Pool. This free pool located at Poblacion, San Juan, Siquijor is open 24 hours a day.
- Barangay San Antonio, Siquijor- Home of Healers. Siquijor is also knowns for its faith healers or mananambal or albularyo. One of the most popular healers is the Ponces in San Antonio. The healers for healing aches and pains and also for selling love potions, lumay, and healing oils.
- Larena Triad Coffeeshop. This coffee shop/events area is a great place to have a birthday party or wedding reception as it boasts one of the best views in the island.
- Lilibeth's Pan Bisaya - If you are craving for yummy bread in the mystical island of Siquijor, your best bet would be Lilibeth's Pan Bisaya in the town of Enrique Villanueva. The roadside bakery is known its bread with coconut (bucayo) filling.
- Salagdoong Forest Reserve and Beach - On your way to one of Siquijor's most famous beaches is a forest reserve. You will be welcomed by large trees on the side of the road that will give you enough shade on a hot day. The reforestation project has been very successful. For the thrill-seekers, Salagdoong beach is synonymous to cliff-diving.
- Cambugahay Falls - Located in the town of Lazi, Cambugahay Falls is one of the most popular waterfalls in the island. One of the best things to do here is to do the Tarzan swing.
- Enchanted Balete Tree - For 5 pesos, you can enjoy a fish spa at the Enchanted Balete Tree in the town of Lazi. Balete Trees are known in local folklore as the home of fairies and other mystical creatures. You can find a pair of towering Balete Trees in the area.
In 6 hours, Team Madanihon covered these 8 attractions. The team had a great time doing it together. Team Madanihon was composed of people who barely knew each other and at the end of the activity, they become good friends and social media buddies. The group realized that a tour similar to what we experienced would be a great way to highlight how really fun it is to visit Siquijor or other islands in the Philippines.
We realized that a fast-paced tour format showcasing tourist destinations would fit the campaign "It's more fun in the Philippines!" by the Department of Tourism. Each destination must feature activities and should not be a mere sight-seeing. A #168Tour is interactive and it is expected that each participant will have lots of memorable photos.
