The road from the airport to other parts of the island has also been developed from the bumpy rough road to smooth concrete ones, making traveling around the island much more convenient and efficient.

Three-Island Tour

The three-island trip covers Guyam, Naked, and Daku Islands. Each has its distinct feature, so the experience won’t seem redundant. Take this trip and see for yourself what these islands have to offer.

You can charter a private boat or join a group tour.

By private boat. Head to the wharf and charter a private boat for P1500 – P2000. This is a great option for groups because the rate is per boat, so you can split the cost. However, this does not include lunch and the additional entrance and docking fees. much more info about the islands and corresponding fees below.

By group tour. If you’re traveling alone, you don’t want to deal with finding a boat or preparing food, or you simply want to make friends, we recommend joining a group trip instead. Klook provides this tour. The price covers the boat fees, all the entrance fees, and a boodle-style lunch buffet.

Naked Island

Naked Island
Naked Island is a sandbar that is the typical stop on the way back to the main island. because there isn’t much here, not even trees, the activities are limited. but you can always take lots of photos.

Daku Island

Daku Island
Daku Island is the largest of the three islands and is a whole barangay in itself. It is mainly a fishing village with cottages lined up along the coast. There are also private properties along the beach.

This is a common lunch stop. If you rented a boat, lunch is not covered. but fresh fish and other seafood are available and you can have the locals cook for you. but if you’re on a tight budget you can always bring your own food.

If you’re on a group tour, lunch is typically served as part of the package. You also don’t need to worry about the other fees because these are part of what you paid for.

Entrance fee: P100 per boat
Cottage rental: P250

Guyam Island

Guyam Island
Guyam Island is a small, circular island, typically your first stop for the three-island tour. It has two distinct sides: one side is rocky with strong currents, while the sandy side is much more serene. Smiling ladies with a small box will greet you and cheerfully let you know there’s a fee once you set foot on the island. If you’re not sure what island you’re in, the large letters spelling GUYAM might be a good indicator.

Entrance fee: P30 per person.
Cottage rental: P300
(If you’re on a group tour, this is already included in the package.)

Siargao Land Tour

You can explore the main island and see the wonders it keeps in its jagged corners and lush landscapes. here are the typical stops of the land trip (not in order):

Magpupungko rock Pools

Coconut mountain View

Maasin River

There are numerous ways to do this. You can rent a car or motorbike. but the most convenient is to join a group tour. many group trips also include a stop at Sugba Lagoon, which is located on another island so a boat transfer is added.

Se você não sabe como montar as ondas, existem várias lições de surf fornecidas nos locais de intervalo de surf. Além disso, a coisa boa de Siargao é que ele abrange todos os graus de especialização; portanto, se você é um novato ou um especialista, há um intervalo de surf que é melhor para você. A aula de surf para iniciantes começa em P1000 por duas horas.

As ondas são ideais para surfar durante todo o ano, mas o melhor momento é desde julho até janeiro. As ondas podem se tornar retornadas de setembro a novembro. Por favor, tenha muito cuidado, especialmente se você é apenas novo na navegação.

Aqui está a lista dos intervalos de surf de Siargao:

NOTA: A “Copa do Surfing da Cloud 9 anual geralmente acontece no final de setembro ou no início de outubro, portanto, espere uma multidão enorme durante esse período. A competição é oficialmente reconhecida pelo World Surf League Pro.

A nuvem 9 é uma das quebras populares de surf em general Luna, mas se você não gosta de se equilibrar em uma prancha de surf e ser eliminado Several times, you can just unwind and chill strolling down the renowned long boardwalk. You can also view the seasoned surfers dance with the roaring waves from the three-story view deck at the end of the boardwalk. You can also wait for the sunrise here as surfers catch the early morning swells and/or savor the moment as you think of nothing else but the beautiful spectacle that is sunset.

Burgos Coconut Road

Siargao is blanketed in thick coconut forests. Some roads cut across this coco paradise, which creates a beautiful view. That particular shot of a strip flanked by coconut trees is a strong contender for the title of many photographed (or “Instagrammable”) spot in Siargao.

Food trip!

Kermit surf resort and Restaurant’s well-known pizza — the Kermit Pizza!
The town of general Luna has the most number of commercial establishments on the island — resorts, restaurants, cafés, and bars. The food place selection ranges from easy eateries or carinderias to international restaurants. The food choices accommodate both locals and foreign visitors. some of the most favored restaurants are Harana surf resort & Restaurant, Kermit surf resort & Restaurant, Buddha’s surf Resort, Mama’s Grill, Shaka Siargao, and Aventino’s Pizzeria.

When the sun goes down, the nightlife starts to kick in. and it’s very much alive on the island! If you still have the energy for dancing, socializing, and drinking with other travelers, parties typically happen at Jungle Disco, Viento, Bravo, and RumBar. If you like beers, you might want to try Siargao’s very own draft beer — general Luna pale Ale. I had a chance to try it while dining at Harana.

Motorcycle or Bicycle around the Island

There are numerous ways you can get around the island of Siargao — van, tricycle, habal-habal, motorcycle, and bicycle. Siargao is a motorcycle- and bicycle-friendly island. Renting a motorcycle or a bicycle for a day or much more is a popular transportation option among tourists. The Siargao Circumferential road will treat you to a very picturesque drive, leading you to different traveler sites on the island. even before reaching your destination, the ride itself is already an attraction.

However, always prioritize safety! Make sure you have a license and wear a helmet even if no one else is doing it.

Don’t forget to travel Responsibly

The flourishing tourism industry has a positive effect on the economy and livelihood of the people by opening company and job opportunities, but it also has a negative impact.

A large part of Siargao, despite the numerous developments happening in some areas, is still undisturbed and unspoiled. For the touristy towns of general Luna, Del Carmen, and Soccoro, steps are being taken to reduce the impact of rising tourism-related activities on the island. some of the companies are taking the initiative to do their part in preserving the environment like using metal straws instead of plastic ones. airline companies are making an effort too like Cebu Pacific’s initiative, the Juan effect sustainable tourism campaign, encouraging everyJuan to do his or her part no matter how small that act is.

Besides helping the local economy by purchasing things and availing of services, you can also help to preserve the natural resources of the destination for the future generation. By simply bringing your own refillable water bottles, eco-bags, and throwing your trash properly, you are already making a huge difference.
