Siargao Island Hopping

They pick me up at 7:45 and then as always we leave for the tour at 9:30. I rent the mask for snorkeling that will not be needed since there is no stop for such activity. Overall three islets that are worth little or nothing. Better surfing.

Island hopping is one of the activities you can engage in when visit Siargao. It's a quick way of appreciating what the place has to offer if you have limited time. The tour takes off at the port of General Luna and usually comprises a visit to three islands that are close to one another -- Naked Island, Daku Island and Guyam Island. The tour operator would decide which one to visit first. Lunch on one of the islands is usually included. The whole tour lasts for about 3-4hrs only or half day if you want to stay longer on the islands. Of course other (more famous) spots of Siargao (like Magpupungko, Sugba Lagoon, Cloud 9 surfing area and other beaches) are not included. You'll have to join other tours to visit them.

Such a great tour! We did this tour as one of our day trip tours for our honeymoon. Such a great idea! And it’s a good deal! The only thing I would change is for the tour groups. Maybe like a group of couples and then another group could be families with small kids? Just an idea! We had fun regardless!

This private tour was well-organized, but our experience was somewhat hindered by our guide's limited English proficiency, which made communication challenging. However, the islands we visited were captivating and beautiful. Despite the language barrier, we had enjoyable moments, particularly at the scenic spots, and the overall trip was worthwhile. For future travelers, considering shared tours with better communication options might enhance the experience.

Can't believe how crap this tour was. So boring so much waiting around. The only good part was the snorkelling on the reef at the very end after hours of nothing. But they are destroying that reef pretty quick ide imagine. There wasn't much not destroyed, they throw the anchor right on top.

Overall, this was a well-organized Private tour but we were a bit disappointed by our guide because his English was extremely poor. Half of the time we didn’t know what we need to do and where we need to go next. Apart from that, the islands we visited were all interesting and beautiful. Following are more details about each location. The pickup went smoothly and we were driven near the docks (a 10-minute ride). Upon arrival, we were introduced to our guide who took us to a nearby market and advised us to buy fish, fruits, and snacks which he then stored in a cooler. We then rented snorkeling equipment for 150P (which is offered by the operator of the boats)and we hopped in the boat and traveled to Naked Island (~20 minutes). The island is interesting but I wouldn’t call it beautiful as there was a lot of seaweed on it. I did some snorkeling and we managed to chill for an hour (as the sun wasn’t super strong). Next up, we went to ??? Island. There are a lot of restaurants on the island and they all look nice. Our guide recommended one of them and we rented a cabana in it for 250P. They prepared the fish and fruits we bought from Siargao and served them in a fast manner. It was super delicious. We explored the island for an hour which was very interesting and then we set sail to the next island. After 20 minutes we arrived on ??? island. It is a small island where you can buy cocktails and fresh juice. This was a chill spot which we very much enjoyed. I then swam to the secret sandbar which is ~600 meters away. It took me unexpectedly long but the perk is - there are really interesting snorkeling spots along the way. A started swimming back to the island but since it took so much time to get to the sandbar I was interjected by our boat which transported us back to where our trip started. Afterward, we were transported back to our hotel. Overall, this was a nice trip but our guide was not interactive and in the rare moments he spoke - we did not understand anything. I would recommend finding a Shared tour when you arrive in Siargao (I don’t see such options on Tripadvisor) because the tourists on the Shared tours seemed to have more fun.

we using your island for class project and we like that the island has a lot of fun and great things to do

This trip was great from the start. We were met at our hotel by the very friendly guide who walked us through the entire trip. It was a unique Philippines experience, in that you bring your own lunch and you can either bring it with you or buy it at the street market near the boat launch area. We bought at the local market and the guide took our food to one of the islands along the way and cooked it for us. We enjoyed it a lot. A taste of the Philippines. The islands were fantastic and the boat ride between islands was awesome! The guide and Boat driver were both awesome and gave us plenty of time at each island. We truly enjoyed the trip and recommend this to anyone wanting to experience these outer islands.
