About This Template

Why this Siargao board feels complete

Plan a flexible 3-day Siargao trip with an arrival day on the southern surf coast, a sunrise walk on the Cloud 9 boardwalk, an afternoon surf at Jacking Horse, and a sunset dinner stroll along the General Luna strip. Spend day 2 on the water, with an early banca out to the Naked Island sandbar, a grilled boodle lunch on Daku Island, and a short swim stop at Guyam, back in General Luna by late afternoon. Keep day 3 for Bucas Grande and the east coast, with a licensed Sohoton Cove tour through the hidden lagoons and cave pools, then a low-tide soak at the Magpupungko rock pools on the way back south. Autumn brings the shift from habagat rains to the dry amihan trade winds, with cleaner swells at Cloud 9, calm seas for island hopping, and thinner crowds than the December to February high season, though September and October still carry some rain, so keep plans flexible.

Cloud 9 boardwalk and viewing tower in General Luna, Siargao

Must visit

Cloud 9 Surfing Tower and Boardwalk

Siargao's postcard landmark, a wooden boardwalk and viewing tower over the famous Cloud 9 reef break, with clean amihan swells rolling in from autumn onward. Arrive at sunrise to beat the tour crowds, and bring cash for the tower entry ticket.

Must visit

General Luna Tourism Road

The island's lively main strip of surf shops, bike rentals, smoothie bowl stands, and beach bars, the best single stroll for food and nightlife. Walk it at sunset from end to end, and carry cash, since vendors and tricycles rarely take cards.

Must visit

Naked Island

A bare white-sand sandbar in open turquoise water, the signature first stop of the tri-island boat circuit. Arrive on the first boats before the crowds build, and bring water and sunscreen, since there is no shade at all.

Must visit

Daku Island

The largest of the island-hopping trio, with a fishing village, a palm-fringed beach, and grilled seafood boodle lunches under bamboo cabanas. Arrange the lunch through your boat crew that morning, and bring cash for the small island entry fee.

Sohoton Cove lagoon in Bucas Grande, Siargao

Must visit

Sohoton Cove National Park

A protected cove of hidden lagoons, cave pools, and jellyfish sanctuaries you can swim with, across the water in Bucas Grande. Permits are capped and the gate checks IDs, so book a licensed tour ahead and expect a 6am pickup.

Must visit

Magpupungko Rock Pools

Crystal-clear tidal pools and a natural diving ledge on the east coast that appear only at low tide. Check the tide chart before you go, and bring cash for the entry fee.

Money-saving tips

Book island-hopping bancas at the tour offices along the General Luna strip rather than through hotel desks for better rates.
Carry small cash bills, since island entry fees, boat crews, and tricycle drivers rarely accept cards.
Withdraw cash in Dapa before the weekend, since General Luna ATMs queue badly and sometimes run empty.
Arrange the boodle lunch on Daku through your boat crew that morning instead of prepaying a packaged tour.
Check the tide chart before heading to Magpupungko, since the pools appear only at low tide.
