SIARGAO - Surfing Capital of the Philippines

It's my first time in Siargao and I was really amazed with the place. The locals are very approachable and they really know how to treat their customers well.

We stayed in Arka Hayahay, a boat shaped resort in General Luna, Siargao.




We stayed here for 4 days and it's all worth it.



HOW TO GET THERE:

Flight from Mactan Airport to Sayak Airport in Del Carmen 

(you can email Arka Hayahay at arkahayahay@gmail.com for bookings and for airport transfer to and from their resort)

We paid 300 pesos each for the vhire


Once you reach Arka Hayahay, you can rent a motorcycle for 400 to 500 pesos per day. You can ask the staffs there to assist you in renting



Itinerary:

• Island Hopping
• Sugba lagoon
• Magpupungko
• Cloud 9


The 1st activity we did is the Island Hopping. The boat rent costs 1,500php which already include trips to Siargao's 3 famous islands.


Our 1st stop is Naked Island. I've been here twice already and the feeling is still the same ๐Ÿ’“. A must-see island, and a very nice place to relax and unwind.



The 2nd Island is Daku Island. I must admit, I am in love with this Island and I can stay here for a week ๐Ÿ˜๐Ÿ˜๐Ÿ˜ A powdery white sand island and crystal clear water. Daku island is the biggest island and considered as one of the best beach in Siargao. It is a perfect place to enjoy beach volleyball or any beach activities.



There is an entrance fee of 100 pesos good for 9 people, including the table that we rented and the chairs. VERY AFFORDABLE AND WORTH IT ๐Ÿ‘๐Ÿ‘Œ

You can also bring food and have the locals cook it for you.


Last Island is Guyam Island. Known as the miniature paradise of Siargao, the tiniest among the 3 islands

Entrance fee is 10 pesos each



Our 2nd stop is Sugba Lagoon. It is a 1 to 2 hour  drive from General Luna. Boat rent is 1,600 pesos good for 6 people and 200 pesos each for additional person. 50 pesos per head for the entrance fee.

Sugba Lagoon a hidden paradise with a breathtaking view



3rd stop is Magpupungko, another 1 to 2 hour travel(main road) from Sugba Lagoon.

Entrance Fee is 50 pesos each





Last but not the least - CLOUD 9

The most popular spot in Siargao where people enjoy surfing

Surf Board rent is 200 pesos per hour and 500 pesos per hour with trainer.
If you know how to surf and doesn't need any trainer, you can get a guide and just pay them. Guides don't have any fixed rate, however, there is a big difference if you're going to get a trainer

If you won't get any trainer, you will be responsible in paying for surfboard damage after using, if there is any. Compared to getting a trainer and have them cover for any damages instead.

You can contact WENNA 09997710061 for surf board rentals as well as for the guide and trainer
