TIPS & GUIDES
FLIGHT & TRANSFERS
To reach Siargao Island, flights are available from Manila and Cebu. A boat ride from Surigao City via Evaristo & Sons Sea Transport is also an option.
From Sayak Airport, a 30-45 minute van transfer to hotels in General Luna is available, which can be pre-booked or found outside the airport.
TOWN PROPER
General Luna is one street of Parties & restaurants. If you want to visit them make sure to book hotels, or backpacking hotels nearby. It can be always fully booked so plan ahead.
There are different bars in the town and some of them have schedules. You can refer on their social networking sites to confirm.
El Lobo: Plays Gen Z music, situated on the second floor and usually crowded.
Siargao Beach Club: The top bar with fantastic music from the 80s, 90s, and 2000s!
Harana: Offers a great bar and party area with a vibe that might not be relatable, more suited for foreigners.
Happiness: Features vibe music that may not be relatable for locals, mainly attracting foreigners. Despite its small size, it offers a beachfront setting.

NORTHERN SIARGAO
If you're traveling to the north of Siargao, it's recommended to hire a minivan. The cost of hiring a minivan, excluding the entrance fee, is 2,500 pesos for a round trip.
TROGON'S PERCH offers 500 pesos per head consumable MEAL. Customers can order as much as they want, and takeout is available.
Pacifico Beach charges a 20 peso entrance fee and is not a RECOMMENDED beach FOR SWIM but is suitable for surfers.
Catangnan BBQ is a good option to try because of its fast serving and reasonable prices.
Anticipate getting wet when visiting Tayangban Cave Pool.
SIARGAO LAND TOUR
Sugba is one hour away from the center. We spent the morning until noon visiting Sugba Lagoon, Pamomoan Beach, and Kawhagan Island, as part of the island hopping package.
After the morning activities, we had our lunch at the port. we visited magpupungko but it was a bit crowded since this is a public beach.
You can swim at Maasin River, although it has been affected by a typhoon, making coconut trees less visible near the famous coconut swing. It is recommended to hire a rattan boat to explore inside the river.
SOHOTON TOUR
A must-try activity in Siargao for those seeking a less touristy experience is encountering stingless jellyfish, cliff jumping, and island hopping.
