Her er vår liste over anbefalte aktiviteter og reisende steder du kan legge til Siargao -reiseruten. Hvis du trenger mye mer hjelp med å planlegge turen, kan du sjekke Siargao Travel Guide!
Med dønningene som gjør surfere ‘adrenalinpumping og føtter kløe, har Siargao lokket både lokale og internasjonale bølgesyklister til sine bølgende bredder. Ikke rart at denne tårnformede øya blir mye sett på som “Surfing Capital of the Philippines”.
Øya hadde vært under-radaren og er bare kjent for surfere til begynnelsen av 2010-tallet. Men i dag liker Siargao å være “Rockstar” -reisende destinasjonen i landet. Det er også mye mer tilgjengelig nå mye mer enn noen gang, og velkommen rundt 12 flyreiser daglig fra Manila, Cebu og Clark. Veien fra flyplassen til andre deler av øya er også utviklet fra den humpete grove veien til glatte betong, noe som gjør reiser rundt i øya mye mer praktisk og effektiv.
Annet enn surfing, kan øya skryte av andre attraksjoner som kokosnøtt-fôrveier og elver, vakre strender, huler, laguner og mat! Her er noen av tingene du kan se og gjøre mens du er på øya.

TRE-ILLAND TOUR
Den tre-øyiske turen dekker Guyam, Naked og Daku Islands. Hver har sitt distinkte trekk, så opplevelsen virker ikke overflødig. Ta denne turen og se selv hva disse øyene har å tilby.
Du kan chartre en privat båt eller bli med på en gruppetur.
Med privat båt. Gå til kai og charter en privat båt for P1500 – P2000. Dette er et flott alternativ for grupper fordi prisen er per båt, slik at du kan dele kostnadene. Dette inkluderer imidlertid ikke lunsj og ekstra inngangs- og forankringsgebyr. Mye mer info om øyene og tilsvarende gebyrer nedenfor.
Av gruppetur. Hvis du reiser alene, vil du ikke takle å finne en båt eller tilberede mat, eller du bare vil få venner, anbefaler vi å bli med på en gruppetur i stedet. KLook gir denne turen. Prisen dekker båtavgiftene, alle inngangspenger og en lunsjbuffé i boodle-stil.

Naked Island
Naked Island
Naked Island er en sandbar som er det typiske stoppet på vei tilbake til hovedøya. Fordi det ikke er mye her, ikke engang trær, er aktivitetene begrenset. Men du kan alltid ta mange bilder.
Daku Island
Daku Island
Daku Island er den største av de tre øyene og er en hel barangay i seg selv. Det er hovedsakelig en fiskevær med hytter som er stilt opp langs kysten. Det er også private eiendommer langs stranden.
Dette er et vanlig lunsjstopp. Hvis du leide en båt, dekkes ikke lunsj. Men fersk fisk og annen sjømat er tilgjengelig, og du kan ha lokalbefolkningen til å lage mat til deg. Men hvis du har et stramt budsjett, kan du alltid ta med din egen mat.
Hvis du er på gruppetur, serveres lunsj vanligvis som en del av pakken. Du trenger heller ikke å bekymre deg for de andre gebyrene fordi disse er en del av det du betalte for.
Inngangsbillett: P100 per båt
Hytteutleie: P250
Guyam Island
Guyam Island
Guyam Island er en liten, sirkulær øy, vanligvis ditt første stopp for tre-øy-turen. Den har to forskjellige sider: den ene siden er steinete med sterke strømmer, mens sandsiden er mye mer rolig. Smilende damer med en liten boks vil hilse deg og muntert fortelle deg at det er et gebyr når du setter foten på øya. Hvis du ikke er sikker på hvilken øy du er i, kan de store bokstavene som staver Guyam være en god indikator.
Inngangsbillett: P30 per person.
Hytteutleie: P300
(Hvis du er på gruppetur, er dette allerede inkludert i pakken.)
Siargao Land Tour
Du kan utforske hovedøya og se underverkene den holder i sine taggede hjørner og frodige landskap. Her er de typiske stoppene på landsturen (ikke i orden):
Magpupungko Rock Pools
Coconut Mountain View
Maasin -elven
Det er mange måter å gjøre dette på. Du kan leie en bil eller motorsykkel. Men det mest praktiske er å bli med i en gruppetur. Mange gruppeturer inkluderer også et stopp ved Sugba Lagoon, som ligger på en annen øy, så en båtoverføring blir lagt til.

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.

Sohoton Cove (Bucas Grande Islands)

Surfing
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, 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.
Matreis!
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.
Motorsykkel eller sykkel rundt øya
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.

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.
