The fastest and most convenient way to go to Siargao is a connecting flight from Manila-Cebu and Cebu-Siargao. Siargao is known as the "Surfing Capital of the Philippines" but that doesn't mean only surfers will enjoy the very beautiful place.
*Cebu Pacific offers flight from Cebu to Siargao.
We took the fast way by booking a connecting flight from Manila-Cebu-Siargao.
Touchdown! Siargao Domestic Airport
There are a lot of cheap accommodations to choose from, we opt to choose Romantic Beach Villa.
We choose the Pacific Room and that is our view everyday during our stay.

Some pictures we took during our whole day tour.
My boyfriend and me with our boatman/tourguide "Kuya Dante" during our Island Hopping.
First island, Naked Island. There are no trees nor stores to buy something but there's one tent in the middle, they said its for everybody however it looks like "First Come, first served, basis"
Long stretch of fine and white sand, so scorching hot so don't forget to put sunblock or else... hehe :)
Next stop, Guyam Island. Very beautiful island as well however they said no families are also living here.
Honestly, when I took the picture below it reminds me of the movie "Life of Pi". :D
Last island, but not the least is the "Daku Island". There are more of less 200 families living in this island. No electricity in the island. This is where we had lunch. It's very common here to asked "PALUTO" or having somebody cook food for your group.
Some photos we took in Daku Island.
That's what we had for lunch. We had rice, fish and shell and ofcourse, fresh buko. We paid more or less Php500 (11US$).
Sohoton Cove, Bucas Grande Tour
Jellyfish sanctuary. You can swim but you are not allowed to get one according to the law.
Inside the Hagukan Cave, the guides said when you move its like the water is glowing. You need the guides to assist you upon going inside. The entrance was so steep that you need to do floating just to get in.
Entrance to the Hagukan Cave, that is the way in and only way out as well.
Outside the Makukuob Cave. If you dare to get in the cave and go up. the only way down is by jumping the cliff. Ofcourse I tried that.
Other pictures while exploring Sohoton Cove with small banca which can only hold 2 people at the same time.
REMINDERS:
- There are few ATM's in the area. You need to ride habal-habal/motorcycle which is mainly there public transportation in the town if you want to go to one place to another or to ATM's.
- There are no lunch included on the island hopping and tour so better pack food and water so that you can lessen your expenses.
- Snorkel mask is also not included, Bring your own or rent from the hotel/accommodation.
