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.
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.
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 go-to board rental and surf shop on Tourism Road, stocking a deep quiver of well-maintained Surftech shortboards, fish, quads and eggs alongside wax, fins and its own apparel line. Staff give honest board recommendations for the day's conditions and let you swap boards mid-rental if something isn't working.
