Three-Island Tour

The three-island trip covers Guyam, Naked, and Daku Islands. Each has its distinct feature, so the experience won’t seem redundant. Take this trip and see for yourself what these islands have to offer.

You can charter a private boat or join a group tour.

By private boat. Head to the wharf and charter a private boat for P1500 – P2000. This is a great option for groups because the rate is per boat, so you can split the cost. However, this does not include lunch and the additional entrance and docking fees. much more info about the islands and corresponding fees below.

By group tour. If you’re traveling alone, you don’t want to deal with finding a boat or preparing food, or you simply want to make friends, we recommend joining a group trip instead. Klook provides this tour. The price covers the boat fees, all the entrance fees, and a boodle-style lunch buffet.

Naked Island

Naked Island
Naked Island is a sandbar that is the typical stop on the way back to the main island. because there isn’t much here, not even trees, the activities are limited. but you can always take lots of photos.

Daku Island

Daku Island
Daku Island is the largest of the three islands and is a whole barangay in itself. It is mainly a fishing village with cottages lined up along the coast. There are also private properties along the beach.

This is a common lunch stop. If you rented a boat, lunch is not covered. but fresh fish and other seafood are available and you can have the locals cook for you. but if you’re on a tight budget you can always bring your own food.

If you’re on a group tour, lunch is typically served as part of the package. You also don’t need to worry about the other fees because these are part of what you paid for.

Entrance fee: P100 per boat
Cottage rental: P250

Guyam Island

Guyam Island
Guyam Island is a small, circular island, typically your first stop for the three-island tour. It has two distinct sides: one side is rocky with strong currents, while the sandy side is much more serene. Smiling ladies with a small box will greet you and cheerfully let you know there’s a fee once you set foot on the island. If you’re not sure what island you’re in, the large letters spelling GUYAM might be a good indicator.

Entrance fee: P30 per person.
Cottage rental: P300
(If you’re on a group tour, this is already included in the package.)

Siargao Land Tour

You can explore the main island and see the wonders it keeps in its jagged corners and lush landscapes. here are the typical stops of the land trip (not in order):

Magpupungko rock Pools

Coconut mountain View

Maasin River

There are numerous ways to do this. You can rent a car or motorbike. but the most convenient is to join a group tour. many group trips also include a stop at Sugba Lagoon, which is located on another island so a boat transfer is added.

Magpupungko rock Pools

DCIM100MEDIADJI_0146.JPG
Another well-known traveler destination on the island of Siargao is the Magpupungko rock Pools, which affords revelers the chance to take a dip in the crystal clear waters when you get there at the best time. The rock pools only appear at certain times, particularly when the tide is low. The location is a 45-minute drive from general Luna. explore the Magpupungko beach if you want to feel some sand below your feet or do cliff-jumping but be extra careful because the rocks are sharp; it would be better to wear protective footwear or aqua shoes.

Note: always check the tide schedule as it changes daily. See it here: Port Pilar Tides

Entrance Fee: P50
Parking Fee: P20

How to get There: You can join a group tour, hire a habal-habal or rent a motorcycle and drive to Pilar. You will pass by local eateries before you reach the beach and rock pools. The drive will take you about 45 minutes from general Luna.

Maasin River

Maasin River is a 30-minute drive from general Luna. You’ve probably seen photos of the bent coconut tree sticking out over the river. There’s a rope attached to the tree where you can swing back and forth from and, maybe, let go and plunge into the river. The water is about 6-foot deep.

Heading to the northern portion of the island, you will arrive at a very conspicuous red bridge. That’s your landmark for the bent coconut tree.

Location: Siargao Circumferential Rd, Dapa, Surigao del Norte
Entrance Fee: P20

Coconut mountain View

Make a short stop on the side of the road to appreciate the lush coco paradise that seems unlimited as it sprawls across the island!

Sugba Lagoon

Another popular attraction on the island is Sugba Lagoon. It is located on the northwestern portion of the island. The jumping-off point is the town of Del Carmen, which is about a two-hour drive from general Luna. There are numerous ways you can explore the lagoon — by renting canoes, bamboo rafts, and paddleboards and by snorkeling. There’s a two-layer docking area or rest area where you can also rent a table for P50. one of the highlights here is jumping off the diving platform into the clear turquoise (sometimes emerald) waters.

From general Luna, you have to get to the town of Del Carmen port. The travel time is roughly two hours. here are your options:

Join a group tour. trip operators and some resorts offer this tour. The rate is around P2000 per person inclusive of lunch, transportation, and entrance.

Sohoton Cove (Bucas Grande Islands)

Located in the town of Soccoro in Surigao del Norte, Bucas Grande is a separate group of islands from Siargao. getting there is quite expensive, but all those islets, lagoons, beaches, caves, and karst cliffs make up for it. and ought to you visit at the best season, you will be able to encounter the stingless jellyfish at Sohoton Cove.

Surfing

You’ve come to one of the best surfing spots not only in the Philippines but also in the world, so why not? If you don’t know how to ride the waves, there are various surf lessons provided at the surf break sites. Also, the good thing about Siargao is that it covers all degrees of expertise, so whether you are a newbie or an expert, there’s a surf break that is best for you. Beginner’s surfing lesson starts at P1000 for two hours.

The waves are ideal for surfing all year round, but the best time is from as early as July to as late as January. The waves can become gnarly from September to November. Please be extra careful especially if you are just new to surfing.

Here is the list of Siargao’s surf breaks:

Note: The annual ‘Cloud 9 Surfing Cup’ typically happens in late September or early October, so expect huge crowds during this time. The competition is officially recognized by the world surf league Pro.

Cloud 9 Boardwalk and view Deck

Cloud 9 is one of the popular surf breaks in general Luna, but if you are not that into balancing yourself on a surfboard and be wiped out several times, you can just unwind and chill strolling down the renowned long boardwalk. You can also view the seasoned surfers dance with the roaring waves from the three-story view deck at the end of the boardwalk. You can also wait for the sunrise here as surfers catch the early morning swells and/or savor the moment as you think of nothing else but the beautiful spectacle that is sunset.

Burgos Coconut Road

Siargao is blanketed in thick coconut forests. Some roads cut across this coco paradise, which creates a beautiful view. That particular shot of a strip flanked by coconut trees is a strong contender for the title of many photographed (or “Instagrammable”) spot in Siargao.

Food trip!

Kermit surf resort and Restaurant’s well-known pizza — the Kermit Pizza!
The town of general Luna has the most number of commercial establishments on the island — resorts, restaurants, cafés, and bars. The food place selection ranges from easy eateries or carinderias to international restaurants. The food choices accommodate both locals and foreign visitors. some of the most favored restaurants are Harana surf resort & Restaurant, Kermit surf resort & Restaurant, Buddha’s surf Resort, Mama’s Grill, Shaka Siargao, and Aventino’s Pizzeria.

When the sun goes down, the nightlife starts to kick in. and it’s very much alive on the island! If you still have the energy for dancing, socializing, and drinking with other travelers, parties typically happen at Jungle Disco, Viento, Bravo, and RumBar. If you like beers, you might want to try Siargao’s very own draft beer — general Luna pale Ale. I had a chance to try it while dining at Harana.

Motorcycle or Bicycle around the Island

There are numerous ways you can get around the island of Siargao — van, tricycle, habal-habal, motorcycle, and bicycle. Siargao is a motorcycle- and bicycle-friendly island. Renting a motorcycle or a bicycle for a day or much more is a popular transportation option among tourists. The Siargao Circumferential road will treat you to a very picturesque drive, leading you to different traveler sites on the island. even before reaching your destination, the ride itself is already an attraction.

However, always prioritize safety! Make sure you have a license and wear a helmet even if no one else is doing it.

Don’t forget to travel Responsibly

The flourishing tourism industry has a positive effect on the economy and livelihood of the people by opening company and job opportunities, but it also has a negative impact.

A large part of Siargao, despite the numerous developments happening in some areas, is still undisturbed and unspoiled. For the touristy towns of general Luna, Del Carmen, and Soccoro, steps are being taken to reduce the impact of rising tourism-related activities on the island. some of the companies are taking the initiative to do their part in preserving the environment like using metal straws instead of plastic ones. airline companies are making an effort too like Cebu Pacific’s initiative, the Juan effect sustainable tourism campaign, encouraging everyJuan to do his or her part no matter how small that act is.

Besides helping the local economy by purchasing things and availing of services, you can also help to preserve the natural resources of the destination for the future generation. By simply bringing your own refillable water bottles, eco-bags, and throwing your trash properly, you are already making a huge difference.

It didn’t occur overnight. Det er sikkert.

It’s not like I woke up one morning as well as just called it quits. Well, actually, it was type of like that. I woke up one dreary morning, as well as as I was forcing myself to get up, I caught something painted on the ceiling — my future. Of program it wasn’t real. Of program I pictured it. however as I lay in my bed looking at the huge white canvass above me, I began to recognize that this was not the life I wished to paint. I just might no longer beat my alarm clock as well as wait on it to sound just since I dreaded to wrap myself in one more business attire as well as do the whole 8-5 routine.

It’s not that I hated my job. Jeg kunne godt lide det. It’s just that I didn’t want it to be the only thing I did. I liked traveling a bit bit more. as well as since I couldn’t do both at the exact same time, I had to choose. That morning I selected to stop my job.

But not so fast. If I was going to do it, I would have to do it right.

I never organized to be a travel blogger. If my college self would see me now, he’d be like, “What the hell are you doing with your life? There’s an effin’ career ladder in front of you, effin’ climb it!”

My whole like affair with airplane tickets as well as seat sales started in 2007. My grandfather passed away, as well as I had to fly to Puerto Princesa to go to his funeral. In the middle of mourning, I might not assist however be blown away by the sheer natural beauty of the place. On my flight back to Manila, I guaranteed myself that I would return, as well as this time around enjoy it. A couple of years later, I was able to do just that.

I began going on weekend getaways more frequently. work difficult on weekdays, travel harder on weekends. I was happy to be trapped in that clockwork. The more locations I set foot on for work, the more I was influenced to work harder, save bigger, as well as ultimately go farther. however as my destinations ended up being brighter, my business task appeared as well as felt bleaker. as well as it led to that morning in 2010 when I just discovered myself staring at the ceiling.

Some people — braver people — would just data their resignation right away. however I wasn’t one of ’em take on people. There was so much at stake, so it needed some cautious planning. It took a long time, however the wait was worth it when I was lastly ready.

Here’s the process that I went with to stop my job, provided with the concerns I asked myself as well as what I did to address them.

Hvad er dækket af denne vejledning?

1. Is traveling truly what you want?
2. If you stop your job, exactly how will you support yourself?
3. Are you willing to sacrifice?
4. Do you have a plan B?
5. No question: just do it!
Flere tips om YouTube-⬇️⬇️⬇️relaterede indlæg:

1. Is traveling truly what you want?

Passion has ended up being a buzz word since I hit mid-twenties. I always hear it in interviews, speeches, as well as even random conversations with friends. Is this your passion? Hvad er du passioneret omkring? Funny enough, they were the very first concerns I asked myself. I needed to be sure if it was truly the life that I would want to lead. Is this what you want to do for the rest of your life?

Resten af ​​mit liv? Not sure about that. however travel was what I enjoyed immensely. It was definitely what I desired then, as well as it is still what I want now. I understood that it was something I might do for a long, long time. It didn’t matter to me if it was something I might dedicate to for a lifetime. What mattered to me was this: I wasn’t happy then, as well as I needed something to change.

My point is — If you’re not happy, do something about it. If you requirement something to change, modification something. Don’t wait on things to occur for you, make them. even if it takes time. even if involves huge changes. Don’t fear change. modification is life. You’ll never “live” life if you keep avoiding it.

2. If you stop your job, exactly how will you support yourself?

Of course, you requirement to work, one method or another. You can’t just buy a airplane ticket as well as beg for money when you’re there. (You might do that actually, however come on.) If your target destinations are those needing visas, then you’re screwed if you’re unemployed. thing is, there are so many chances out there. SÅ MANGE. You just have to look.

What are your skills? Kan du skrive? Can you take great pictures? Can you do graphics? Can you establish websites? Are you up for online assistant-kind of jobs? There are countless tasks online, as well as if you’re patient you can make it a steady source of income.

Why online? since it is location-independent. You can work from anywhere, as well as you can begin even before you stop your job. try to do it in the evening or on the weekends, as well as see if you’re fine keeping that type of set up. After all, that’s exactly how it usually turns out on the road most of the time. You travel during the day as well as work at night, preferably with a bottle of beer in one hand. Haha.

There are other chances on the road. I have satisfied a great deal of travelers who teach English when they travel. Some work at farms in exchange of food as well as lodging. SoloFlightEd worked as a waiter at a resort in Malaysia for a couple of months to get by. What’s that old saying? Aaah, if there’s a will, there’s a way.

Photo: scratch Map Philippines. offered for P1350 at Quirks!

3. Are you willing to sacrifice?

Was I sure that this would turn out all shining, shimmering, splendid for me? Nej for helvede. If anything, I was rather sure I would have to provide up a great deal of things. believe about it. Trading a full-time career with travel is going to leave you with tectonic adjustments. Can you photo yourself surviving a lower-paying or inconsistent job?

You may be asking: if I provide up my job, exactly how am I going to pay for travel? The answer, sacrifice. many people believe traveling is expensive. Well, it is expensive. Forholdsvis. however it is NOT as costly as others state it is.

The biggest monetary boulder is always the airplane tickets. however even that is not that huge of a issue anymore. SEAT SALES ARE REAL. stol på mig. almost all the tickets I utilize I get from seat sales. You just have to understand exactly how to do it. Here’s exactly how —> exactly how to book inexpensive Fares.

Once you make it past the airports, it’s a great deal easier. Hostels over hotels. street food stalls over restaurants. Buses over planes. Backpacking over prearranged tours. You’ll be surprised exactly how affordable it is to travel.

Still, it demands that you provide up a part of your lifestyle. For eksempel:

If you’re the type who needs to have a cup of Starbucks coffee each morning, you’ll see exactly how much more you’re gonna save if you ditch the habit. as well as you will pick up many lessons such as this along the way.

But money isn’t the only problem. connections will be affected. Are you prepared to spend a great deal less time with your liked ones? Are THEY prepared, too? Are you supporting your family? Are you in a dedicated relationship? Make sure they understand.

4. Do you have a plan B?

Let’s say, it doesn’t work out for you. Hvad vil du gøre?

This is why you shouldn’t shed bridges. close them, however not burn. In the off possibility that travel isn’t for you, at least it is simple to reconnect with the life you abandoned, ideally this time around with a different perspective.

In my case, I made sure that before I quit, I was positive that it would be simple for me to discover work even if I go freelance. I did my finest to excel in my full-time job, sufficient to be noticed by prospective clients. I made sure I had a powerful body of work, an impressive portfolio.

I hated working full time then, however I did not dislike my job. I liked marketing. I liked what I was doing. travel is my biggest romance, however advertising is my very first love. I kept in touch with my advertising roots even on the road. as well as they are both extremely rewarding.

5. No question: just do it!

If you believe you’re ready, then what are you waiting for? If you’re in your mid-20s like me, what’s stopping you? You’re young, not many responsibilities, not much to lose. There is no much better time.

Quit it, as well as book a ticket to somewhere awesome!

Again, this is exactly how I did it. I do not mean that you comply with this, however only to offer a peek at the process I had gone through. other travelers did it differently. many of them just jumped into it blindly. That’s great, you know, if you believe it’s for you. It’s just that I just had to plan the whole thing. as well as that’s okay too.

At the end of the day, all travelers want the exact same thing — to fly. I desired my spirit to soar however not by climbing an imaginary career ladder; I want a genuine mountain, a genuine summit, a genuine experience around the world. far beyond the pigeonhole that was my office. With a much wider view than from the top of that fuckin’ imaginary ladder.

Maybe someday I’ll be back. I sometimes miss my business life terribly, to be honest. Måske. En dag.

But for now, I believe I’m staying outside, where I might get up as well as see not a blank ceiling however wild clouds chasing the blues away. It’s always a fantastic sight.

What are the demands for applying for a tourist visa?

We have a devoted publish about that here: Korea Visa Requirements

Hvordan man ansøger? What are the steps?

We have a step-by-step guide here: exactly how to apply for a Korea Visa in Manila

Do I requirement a travel company to apply?

YES, unless you’re applying directly in Cebu. The Korean embassy in Manila needs tourist visa applications filed starting July 1, 2018, to be coursed with any type of of their designated travel agencies. However, the Korean Consulate in Cebu is not impacted by this as well as will continue to accept walk-in applicants as they did.

If you’re applying in Manila before July 1, 2018, you can still work on the application yourself. It’s quick as well as free. However, if for whatever reason this isn’t a practical choice — you online in the province, you just can’t spare a working day for this — by all means, discover a travel agency. just keep in mind that they will fee you a service fee.

Do I requirement to book flights before applying?

No. It’s not one of the requirements. I’ve tried submitting this before, they eliminated it from the pile.

How about hotel reservation? Do I requirement to book hotels before applying?

No. You don’t requirement it. However, make sure you have an concept which hotel you will be staying since it’s one of the needed fields in the application form. You don’t requirement to reserve, however you requirement to understand where you mean to stay.

Should I stay in the hotel I composed on the application form?

No. If your application is approved, you can quite much stay in any type of hotel or hostel you want.

How long does it take to process the application?

At least 25 working DAYS in Manila, according to the embassy.

But according to the travel companies we consulted, it’s safer to apply AT least 30 working DAYS before your trip.

That’s exactly how long the embassy takes to process. however you must likewise enable companies time to collect, document, kind out, provide to as well as pick up the passports from the embassy.

In Cebu, it’s 10 working days.

What are OECD visas?

These are visas granted by countries that are part of the OECD (Organization for economic Co-operation as well as Development).These are the member countries:

Australien
Austria
Belgium
Canada
Chile
Tjekkiet
Danmark
Estonia
Finland
France
Germany
Grækenland
Hungary
Iceland
Ireland
Israel
Italy

Japan
Korea
Latvia
Luxembourg
Mexico
Netherlands
New Zealand
Norway
Poland
Portugal
Slovakia
Slovenia

Det Forenede Kongerige
Forenede Stater

Update (June 12, 2019): Although Japan is an OECD country, JAPAN VISA is no longer honored by the Korean embassy in reaction to a number of situations of applicants submitting fake Japan visa as well as stamps.

I have OECD Visas. Does it mean my application will be approved?

Ikke nødvendigvis. however you have much better chances. as well as that the processing is a great deal faster.

How long can I stay in Korea if I am granted a visa?

Regular visas usually enable 59 days. You can apply for a longer stay.

Can I submit just the bank certificate?

No. starting October 2016, a bank statement showing transactions for the past 3 months is a needed document.

So you have to submit BOTH a bank certificate as well as a bank statement.

How much money should my bank account have to get approved?

I don’t understand the minimum amount. I don’t believe the embassy explicitly states it. however I have tried applying with P100,000 in the bank for a 4-day stay as well as got approved.

I assumption the key thing to keep in mind right here is that exactly how much you have should be proportional to exactly how long your stay is. For example, if you have only P100,000, don’t apply for a 59-day stay since that would obviously raise a great deal of concerns regarding whether or not you can pay for the trip.

To provide you a ballpark figure, the embassy of France needs EUR 120 each day from Schengen Visa applicants. That’s around P7600 per day. add the expense of airfare as well as hotel, as well as that should be the minimum amount in your bank. Again, this is not the official rule. We’re just utilizing the French Embassy’s policy as an example.

I’m a freelancer. I don’t have a Certificate of Employment. What can I submit?

I have tried applying for a visa when I was a freelancer. What I did was, I requested for a letter from my clients that might serve as a accreditation that I was working for them. The letter likewise included what I do for them, when I was hired, exactly how much I get as compensation, as well as other details.

Here’s the style I followed.

Setting up fake worker failed: “Cannot tons script at: https://www.thepoortraveler.net/wp-content/cache/min/1/b9b166415cb8234a882188e0024ca068.worker.js”.

The embassy accepted it, as well as my application was approved.

HOWEVER, the embassy seems to have been much stricter these days, so I’m not sure whether or not they still accept something like this.

I’m a trainee with a part-time job. should I apply as a trainee or an employee?

I consulted a designated travel company for the very best method to go about this, as well as they stated that it’s much better to apply as a trainee as well as submit parents’ docs.

They stated that applying as both employed as well as trainee can confuse the embassy. They likewise stated that part-time tasks are commonly viewed by the embassy negatively since it tells them 2 things: one, that you are not as rooted as well as as economically stable, as well as two, that there is a possibility that you will work there too.

I don’t have an ITR. Hvad skal jeg gøre?

I honestly don’t understand exactly how to response this since I’ve always had an ITR even as a freelancer.

But according to a few of our neighborhood members who have done this before, they included an explanation letter as well as other proof of sources of earnings in their application.

How early should I apply for a Korea visa? Can I apply months before my actual travel date?

If you have a target travel date, apply not earlier than 3 months before that.

When a routine visa is issued, it enables the holder to go into Korea at any type of time within the next 3 months (90 days) of the problem date. So if your visa is issued on July 1, you can go into anytime before October 1.

But if you’re applying in Manila, make sure you apply at least 30 working days before your meant travel date.

Do I requirement to show as much as submit the documents?

NO, usually. You can ask somebody else to do it for you IF THE demands ARE COMPLETE.

However, every company can implement their own rules. So it’s finest to phone call the travel company where you plan to lodge your application to be sure.

I requirement to explain something. will they accept a cover letter?

Ja. I did once. They accepted it.

How much is the visa fee?

FREE if your application is for 59 days or shorter.

P1800 for 60- to 90-day stay.

However, travel companies will be charging a service charge for processing your application. charge differs from company to agency, however it’s usually between P700 as well as P1000.

If not able to provide credit history card statements, you must submit personal bank certificate (original) as well as bank statements showing your history for the past 3 months (original or licensed true copy).

What are the typical reasons why Korean visa applications are denied?

I can only speculate, however based on the messages we get from our followers, the usual reasons are the following:

You can’t prove that you can economically support yourself on this trip. You most likely have insufficient funds or your sponsor is not in a great monetary standing.

You can’t prove that you mean to return (rootedness). You most likely don’t have a steady task at this point, recently employed, or recently resigned, as well as it’s providing the perception that you mean to work there.

Your intention/purpose in Korea is unclear. This is why it is finest to be specific when you’re outlining the reasons for your visit.

If my application is denied, can I apply again?

Yes, however only after 6 months.

What does a South Korea visa look like?

Sådan her:

What is the Visa Issuance confirmation in section 2 of the Application Form?

The section 2 of the application type requires details of Visa Issuance Confirmation. This section is only for those with a document called “Confirmation of Visa Issuance.” many people believe it refers to previous Korean visas; NO, IT DOESN’T. The “Visa Issuance Confirmation” is a totally different document, usually issued in Korea.

I have more questions. exactly how do I get in touch with the Korean Embassy?
