The three island tour -Guyam, Daku, and Naked Island- is the most popular in Siargao. Book through Siargao's Tourism Center for Php1500 per boat for five pax. Island hopping can be arranged on the same day of the tour. Lunch is not included, but you may bring food. There are eatery and stores in Daku Island that offers paluto or freshly cooked meals.

Guyam Island is a small island with white sand and rock flooring. Sometimes this island is closed for private functions, so better ask before booking a tour if the island is available. The island is small that tourists can do a circumferential walk.

Daku Island is the biggest among the three islands. Daku in from the local dialect means Big. There is a local community here, so ordering food for lunch or beer to chill helps in their livelihood. The tour will let you spend most of the time here. Cottages are available for rent, or just lay down your towel under the shade.

Naked Island of Siargao is a pure sand island. You will enjoy the sand more than the water.

With hundreds of coconut trees in view, this view deck at Dapa is a scenic stop. The all-green view has no infrastructure and is open for the public's appreciation. 

Magpupungko Rock Pool is located at Pilar, an hour drive from General Luna. The entrance fee is Php50. You will see the beach, rock formations, and amazing pools of deep green water. You can also jump from the rock formation to the pool; height is about 5-7 meters high. 

There is no landmark and exact location of this shot, but I guess there are plenty of places with this view. I got mine from the road between Pilar and Del Carmen. If you see tourists standing in the middle of the road and taking photos, that's it!

Secret Beach is in Guiwan, and the only landmark is the motorbike parked on the side of the road. I didn't know this beach up until I got curious why there is a lot of motorbike in the area but no establishments nor restaurants. So  I followed the trail in the woods, walked for 5 mins, and got scared. But when you hear the waves and see the beach, you are safe. There are tourists there learning how to surf. Waves here are for beginners.

Maasin River is known because of the swing. This coconut tree is so strong that it can handle unlimited swings from tourists of different body weights. There is no entrance fee for the swing, just a donation, but you need to pay an environmental fee of Php20. However, the swing is now removed; you may opt to do a river tour instead.

Cloud 9 of Siargao is the known surfing spot on the island. Waves are for experts, but there are spots for beginners and intermediate. Locals at the entrance offer 1hr surfing lesson for Php500. They will provide your board, quick demonstration and practice then you are good to go. These locals will help you get your best surfing shot even when you can hardly stand on your board.

Siargao is the Surfing Capital of the Philippines and has spots for beginner, intermediate, and expert.

Renting a motorbike is recommended when roaming around Siargao. You can rent a motorbike for Php400/day and haggle for a lower price if staying for longer days. If you don't know how to drive or have no license, there are tours you can avail to see your desired destinations.

If you are staying around General Luna, there is an open beach in your area. Boats of locals also park here, and they offer service to surfing sites far from the shore area.

Party in Siargao is pretty organised. Every night venue changes, so better ask the locals where the venue for that evening will be.
