With its swells that make the surfers’ adrenaline pumping and feet itching, Siargao has been luring both local and international wave bikers to its rolling shores. No wonder that this teardrop-shaped island is widely regarded as “the Surfing capital of the Philippines”.
The island had been under-the-radar and is only known to surfers until the early 2010s. but today, Siargao enjoys being the “rockstar” traveler destination in the country. It is also much more available now much more than ever, welcoming about 12 flights daily from Manila, Cebu, and Clark. 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.
Other than surfing, the island boasts other attractions like coconut-lined roads and rivers, beautiful beaches, caves, lagoons, and food! here are some of the things you can see and do while on the island.

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.

Magpupungko rock Pools
DCIM100MEDIADJI_0146.JPG
Another well-known traveler destination on the island of Siargao is the Magpupungko rock Pools, which affords revelers the chance to take a dip in the crystal clear waters when you get there at the best time. The rock pools only appear at certain times, particularly when the tide is low. The location is a 45-minute drive from general Luna. explore the Magpupungko beach if you want to feel some sand below your feet or do cliff-jumping but be extra careful because the rocks are sharp; it would be better to wear protective footwear or aqua shoes.
Note: always check the tide schedule as it changes daily. See it here: Port Pilar Tides
Entrance Fee: P50
Parking Fee: P20
How to get There: You can join a group tour, hire a habal-habal or rent a motorcycle and drive to Pilar. You will pass by local eateries before you reach the beach and rock pools. The drive will take you about 45 minutes from general Luna.
Maasin River
Maasin River is a 30-minute drive from general Luna. You’ve probably seen photos of the bent coconut tree sticking out over the river. There’s a rope attached to the tree where you can swing back and forth from and, maybe, let go and plunge into the river. The water is about 6-foot deep.
Heading to the northern portion of the island, you will arrive at a very conspicuous red bridge. That’s your landmark for the bent coconut tree.
Location: Siargao Circumferential Rd, Dapa, Surigao del Norte
Entrance Fee: P20
Coconut mountain View
Make a short stop on the side of the road to appreciate the lush coco paradise that seems unlimited as it sprawls across the island!
Sugba Lagoon
Another popular attraction on the island is Sugba Lagoon. It is located on the northwestern portion of the island. The jumping-off point is the town of Del Carmen, which is about a two-hour drive from general Luna. There are numerous ways you can explore the lagoon — by renting canoes, bamboo rafts, and paddleboards and by snorkeling. There’s a two-layer docking area or rest area where you can also rent a table for P50. one of the highlights here is jumping off the diving platform into the clear turquoise (sometimes emerald) waters.

From general Luna, you have to get to the town of Del Carmen port. The travel time is roughly two hours. here are your options:

Sohoton Cove (Bucas Grande Islands)
Located in the town of Soccoro in Surigao del Norte, Bucas Grande is a separate group of islands from Siargao. getting there is quite expensive, but all those islets, lagoons, beaches, caves, and karst cliffs make up for it. and ought to you visit at the best season, you will be able to encounter the stingless jellyfish at Sohoton Cove.

Fare surf
You’ve come to one of the best surfing spots not only in the Philippines but also in the world, so why not? If you don’t know how to ride the waves, there are various surf lessons provided at the surf break sites. Also, the good thing about Siargao is that it covers all degrees of expertise, so whether you are a newbie or an expert, there’s a surf break that is best for you. Beginner’s surfing lesson starts at P1000 for two hours.
The waves are ideal for surfing all year round, but the best time is from as early as July to as late as January. The waves can become gnarly from September to November. Please be extra careful especially if you are just new to surfing.
Here is the list of Siargao’s surf breaks:
Note: The annual ‘Cloud 9 Surfing Cup’ typically happens in late September or early October, so expect huge crowds during this time. The competition is officially recognized by the world surf league Pro.

Cloud 9 Boardwalk and view Deck
Cloud 9 is one of the popular surf breaks in general Luna, but if you are not that into balancing yourself on a surfboard and be wiped out sEveral Times, puoi semplicemente rilassarti e rilassarti lungo il famoso lunghi passerella. Puoi anche vedere la danza dei surfisti esperti con le onde ruggenti dal mazzo a tre piani alla fine del lungomare. Puoi anche aspettare l’alba qui mentre i surfisti catturano le onde del primo mattino e/o assaporare il momento mentre non pensi a nient’altro che al bellissimo spettacolo che è il tramonto.
Burgos Coconut Road
Siargao è ricoperto in foreste foreste di cocco. Alcune strade attraversano questo paradiso di Coco, che crea una bella vista. Quel particolare scatto di una striscia affiancata da alberi di cocco è un forte contendente per il titolo di molti spot fotografato (o “Instagrammable”) a Siargao.
Viaggio di cibo!
Kermit Surf Resort e la famosa pizza del ristorante-The Kermit Pizza!
La città del generale Luna ha il maggior numero di stabilimenti commerciali sull’isola: resort, ristoranti, caffè e bar. La selezione del cibo alimentare varia da ristoranti facili o Carinderia ai ristoranti internazionali. Le scelte alimentari ospitano sia la gente del posto che i visitatori stranieri. Alcuni dei ristoranti più favoriti sono Harana Surf Resort & Restaurant, Kermit Surf Resort & Restaurant, Buddha’s Surf Resort, Mama’s Grill, Shaka Siargao e Aventino’s Pizzeria.
Quando il sole tramonta, la vita notturna inizia a iniziare. Ed è molto viva sull’isola! Se hai ancora l’energia per ballare, socializzare e bere con altri viaggiatori, le feste in genere si verificano a Jungle Disco, Viento, Bravo e Rumbar. Se ti piacciono le birre, potresti voler provare la birra alla spina di Siargao: il generale Luna Pale Ale. Ho avuto la possibilità di provarlo mentre cenavo a Harana.
Motocicletta o bicicletta intorno all’isola
Esistono numerosi modi in cui puoi aggirare l’isola di Siargao: furgone, triciclo, habal-habal, motocicletta e bicicletta. Siargao è un’isola per moto e bicicletta. Noleggiare una motocicletta o una bicicletta per un giorno o molto altro è un’opzione di trasporto popolare tra i turisti. La strada circonferenziale di Siargao ti tratterà con un viaggio molto pittoresco, portandoti a diversi siti di viaggiatori sull’isola. Anche prima di raggiungere la tua destinazione, la corsa stessa è già un’attrazione.
Tuttavia, dà sempre la priorità alla sicurezza! Assicurati di avere una licenza e indossare un casco anche se nessun altro lo sta facendo.
Non dimenticare di viaggiare in modo responsabile
La fiorente industria turistica ha un effetto positivo sull’economia e sul sostentamento delle persone aprendo opportunità di società e di lavoro, ma ha anche un impatto negativo.
Gran parte di Siargao, nonostante i numerosi sviluppi in alcune aree, è ancora indisturbata e incontaminata. Per le città turistiche del generale Luna, Del Carmen e Soccoro, vengono prese passi per ridurre l’impatto dell’aumento delle attività legate al turismo sull’isola. Alcune aziende stanno prendendo l’iniziativa per fare la propria parte nel preservare l’ambiente come l’uso di cannucce di metallo invece di quelle di plastica. Le compagnie aeree stanno facendo uno sforzo come l’iniziativa di Cebu Pacific, la campagna turistica sostenibile dell’effetto Juan, incoraggiando ogni juan a fare la sua parte, non importa quanto sia piccola tale atto.
Oltre ad aiutare l’economia locale acquistando le cose e avvalendosi dei servizi, puoi anche aiutare a preservare le risorse naturali della destinazione per la generazione futura. Portando semplicemente le tue bottiglie d’acqua ricaricabili, eco-sacchetti e lanciando correttamente la spazzatura, stai già facendo un’enorme differenza.
