Siargao

Surf, Sea and Scenic Adventures

Siargao Island, known as the surfing capital of the Philippines, is nestled in the pristine natural paradise of Surigao del Norte. Surrounded by turquoise waters and fed by the powerful waves of the Pacific Ocean, Siargao offers a perfect blend of thrilling adventure and serene island charm.

Surfing Paradise

The town of General Luna, located on the island’s southeastern tip, is the heart of Siargao’s surf culture. Just north of town, you’ll find over a dozen world-class surf breaks that have drawn both local and international surfers for decades. The most iconic of these is Cloud 9, famous for its thick, hollow tubes and picturesque boardwalk. Other popular spots include Tuason Point, Pilar Point, Tuesday Rock, Ventura, and Pacifico.

Beyond the Waves: Caves and Lagoons

Siargao isn’t just about surfing—it’s also an explorer’s dream. For spelunking enthusiasts, the Silop Cave glows with natural luminescence, while Mapawa Cave features an intricate maze of tunnels. Further offshore in Bucas Grande Island, the partially submerged Sohoton Cave leads to a magical lagoon of limestone islets—accessible only during low tide.

Kayak the Mangroves, Chase the Falls

The island’s western and southern mangrove forests create a tranquil network of water channels, perfect for boating and kayaking. For those seeking freshwater beauty, Santa Monica Falls offers a crystal-clear cascade sourced from an untouched forest, ideal for a refreshing dip after a hike.

Island Hopping and Marine Life

Siargao’s nearby islands—Guyam, Daku, and Naked Island—offer calm, clear waters perfect for snorkeling and scuba diving. Colorful reefs and abundant marine biodiversity make these islands ideal for both beginners and seasoned divers.

A Haven for Game Fishing

The rich waters east of Siargao, where the Mindanao Current flows, are a playground for water sports like sailing, parasailing, and kite surfing. They’re also a haven for game fishers. The area is teeming with large species like sailfish, blue marlin, tangigue (Spanish mackerel), yellowfin tuna, and morang, offering world-class fishing experiences.

Whether you’re catching waves, kayaking through mangroves, diving with marine life, or simply enjoying the rhythm of island life, Siargao is a destination that captures the heart of every traveler. It’s not just a surfing spot—it’s a tropical escape where nature, culture, and adventure meet.
