Siargao's classic tri-island day trip: a bare white sandbar (Naked), a big lazy beach island where boat crews grill a boodle-style seafood lunch (Daku), and a postcard islet ringed by palms and coral (Guyam). Bangka boats leave General Luna all morning and the three stops sit within sight of each other across impossibly turquoise water.
A long-established tour office on Tourism Road running private and joiner island-hopping trips to Naked, Daku and Guyam plus land tours across the island. Their signature private tri-island day (10am–4pm) includes snorkeling stops and a generous grilled seafood lunch on the beach.
The classic motorbike-or-van loop up Siargao's east coast: swim in the gin-clear natural infinity pools at Magpupungko in Pilar, swing over the palm-lined Maasin River, and stop at the Coconut View deck where thousands of palms roll to the horizon. Most tours finish with Secret Beach or Pacifico's empty sand.
A 30–45 minute bangka ride through the Philippines' largest mangrove forest ends at a jade-green lagoon walled in by jungle-covered limestone hills. The floating pontoon has a wooden diving board, and paddling a SUP or transparent kayak across the glassy water is the signature Siargao postcard moment.
The biggest of General Luna's three offshore islands ('daku' means large), with a long white-sand beach, swaying palms and a small fishing village. This is the lunch stop of the island-hopping circuit — local families grill fresh fish and serve boodle-fight spreads under shady beachfront cottages. The swimming and snorkelling just off the beach are excellent.
