in this video I'll be giving you 17 things you must do in Siargao this is your Ultimate Guide
to the beautiful island in the Philippines the island is located in the south east of the country
and is an absolute paradise and is known as the surfing capital of the Philippines you will most
likely arrive at the Del Carmen Airport in Siargao Island and once you touch down there
you'll get a shared minibus to your hotel this costs 300 pesos per person if you are located in
general Luna if you don't know me I'm John I spent over two weeks exploring the beautiful Tropical
Paradise of Siargao and I'm going to give you so much valuable information so before we start
just please hit the Subscribe button it really does help me out so let's start with number one
and that is come to Siargao wake park the Wake Park is located just a 15 minute ride from the
general Luna town and honestly it is one of the funnest activities you can do on the island the
Wake Park has literally been cut out of the palm trees and it looks so insane especially at Sunset
even if you're a beginner or you're Advanced they take anyone and honestly if you've just started
like me and Emilia had you can even stand up in your first session it was also insane just
watching the pros do their things with their flips and all their tricks Emilia absolutely
killed it out the wakeboarding I think I still need some practice though he did say I was a
bit of a pro so I was quite proud of myself it is such a cool sport and we kind of want to do more
of it now let's move on to number two and this is probably one of the biggest reasons people come
to the island and that is surfing there are so many different surf spots all over Xiao gal right
up into the North and also down south there are so many different surf lessons surf instructors
surfboards to hire whatever you're looking for you can find it on this island if you're
a beginner Surfer or an advanced Surfer there's different waves and different beaches you can go
to which will fit your difficulty or whatever it is now number three is an epic sport where
you could do big rock jumps and you can chill on the beach it's such a cool spot the name is like
I've tried pronouncing this thing a hundred times and I still can't do it so please forgive
this spot is absolutely legendary and is so fun that you can only go here at low tide look up on
the Internet and look when the low tide is you have to walk around the side of the beach and
then you go to these Rock pools and you'll see locals and other tourists jumping off the Rocks
into the water and it is pretty deep and the water is so blue and super clear the best way
to get to this spot is by scooter and once you get there it's an entrance fee of 50 pesos per
person I think there's also a parking fee of like 10 or 20 pesos as well if you want to jump off the
Rocks I would highly recommend bringing water shoes because the rock is super sharp once you
finish jumping off the cliffs I highly recommend just chilling on the beach is a beautiful beach
one of my favourite in Siargao also I don't know how to say Siargao sharagao shigal what is it I'm
really struggling here I've said it too many times now the next spot is the palm tree Viewpoint again
this is a super popular spot and you can kind of see how many palm trees are on shower girl there's
basically a big flat layer in the middle and just gazillions of palm trees it's a cool spot to take
an Instagram shot it doesn't take long maybe like 15 minutes there and you're pretty much
done this isn't the only spot there are so many different cool tropical palm tree roads a long
Siargao so stop off take some photos get those Instagram shots if you don't already follow me
on Instagram because that's where you get the live updates for what we're doing and yeah why haven't
you already moving on to number five and that is Cloud9 this spot is super cool and it's basically
one of the best surf spots in the world so if you want to watch the pros then you can there's a big
broad walk unfortunately last year in Typhoon Odette it actually got destroyed so they're
currently rebuilding it but hopefully by the time you get there it's back to what it used to be the
waves there are super super large so if you are a beginner maybe stick to the smaller waves but
honestly it's such a cool place just a chill on the beach loads of people gather there at Sunset
and it's just a great atmosphere apparently to get into the Cloud 9 area you have to to pay a
hundred pesos per day per person but that money apparently is going towards building the broad
walk also at Cloud Nine you can rent loads of surfboards there's loads of surf instructors
if you are a beginner so the next place you have to go to in sagao is the cave pool and this is a
much less touristy spot than other spots in shout out and I highly recommend it still because it's
super fun it costs 100 pesos per person and that comes with a guide but also you should
probably tip the guide on top so this activity goes through a cave and you can actually see
Bats inside and then at the end you can do super cool jumps and go on a rope swing this spot is not
far from some other spots which I'm going to be telling you later in the video the number seven
is a super cool activity which I think is a must and probably one of the top five things you have
to do on the island and that is sugba Lagoon this place is like no other it's like Roger ampat in
Indonesia it is absolutely beautiful the water is so clear it's just like a cool jungle fill almost
like mountains in the sea it's awesome there's also a super cool jump spot where you can go up
the dive board we went on a private boat and I think it costs like two thousand three thousand
pesos for the private tour I will check that and put it down below you can drive there by yourself
or go on a Land Tour which does loads of different spots and that will be a cheaper option for you if
you're on a budget we rented a paddle board and paddled around the islands through the water and
it even rained and it was super tropical and just epic epic Vibes one of my favorite spots on the
island definitely check it out moving on to number eight this activity is one of the only places you
can do this in the entire world and that is swim with jellyfish we just got into a Jellyfish lake
and we're surrounded by jellyfish which is crazy and no you're not gonna get stung these jellyfish
are actually stingless and so you can touch them and they'll literally touch you and you don't get
hurt I don't even know why this is true but it is super cool and such a weird experience honestly
getting in the water we were pretty scared we were like are they gonna sting but it's all right it's
good fun but weird the Jellyfish lake is located in sahoten Cove and so you have to do that as a
package tour I'm going to be telling you about southern Cove a bit later in this video right
let's talk a little bit about transport and how to get around if you're looking to get around the
best way is buy a scooter it just gives you the most freedom and if you want to rent a scooter
the best way to do that is to ask your hotel they might rent them themselves or they can point you
in the right direction we rented ours for 400 pesos a day you know if you're on a bit more
of a budget you can probably get it for 300 pesos a day so if you're not confident on a scooter you
can use the classic Filipino tricycles which are super cheap and a great way to get around
and again if you want to do the tours you can do land tours and that prevents you having to go on
a scooter if you're not confident on a bike don't push yourselves be careful and wear your helmet
number nine come eat dinner at Kermit they've got amazing cocktails amazing food and even better
dessert you are not going to be disappointed Kermit is a resort and a restaurant and honestly
it has some of the best food on the island if you like pizza if you like pasta then you're going to
be in for a treat we had an amazing pizza at this restaurant and also we tried like this seafood
linguine pasta and it was Unreal I think it might have been the best pasta dish I've ever tried
they've also got cocktails Gym Bar they've got a big old Pizza Oven they've got everything so
if you like food check it out also if you are into yoga then you should do the yoga sessions
at Kermit Amelia did them and said they were super cool with an epic area where you can look
over their new pool spot number 10 is a spot which doesn't have many tourists on it and there's two
epic beaches near super Lagoon now I'm gonna be honest I don't know how to pronounce these
so please give me a break but I'm gonna give it a go for you pamo round Beach which is actually
part of the super lagoon area and then Kawahagan Island and these beaches are absolutely beautiful
the Kawa Kawahagan island is actually has a sandbar and it is super beautiful super clear
blue water and honestly from the Drone it looks even better from both of these beaches you can
actually eat and there's a restaurant so you can have a full day there chilling and you can get
boats here from the Dell Carmen Port now moving on to the next one number 11 this spot is super
super popular it is like the picture of Siargao and the spot that everyone knows about before
they go and that is the rope swing to get into this spot it only costs 20 pesos and it is super
super fun Unfortunately they don't have the rope swing anymore but they've built this like wooden
kind of jump spot and so you can jump into the river but be careful because it is not actually
that deep on the river it is super cool just along this River because there's palm trees either side
the other thing you can do here is actually get a little boat which is super low to the water and
you go to like this secret little Lagoon and once you get there there is like little pigs
there to go on the little boat ride to the secret Lagoon it costs 500 pesos for the boat now moving
on to number 12 this is a place I promise to tell you more about and this is so Sohoton Cove this
place is magnificent but do be warned it is a far away from General Luna I think it took us
like two hours to get there and then it's like I think it took us 3 three hours to get back because
of the wins and stuff so just be prepared for an uncomfortable long ride on the boat and you
will get wet so maybe bring a waterproof bag it costs quite a bit of money especially for
Filipino standards and it costs 2700 pesos per person this obviously includes everything so all
the fees all the transport as it is very far but is well worth it this is where you get to go to
the Jellyfish lake which I told you about earlier and you basically go on a little boat tour around
the island you also get amazing buffet lunch with so much food you won't be able to eat it all and
then you go to a couple of other spots as well we even saw a little Stingray which was pretty
cool even though this trip is quite expensive I do recommend it swimming with the jellyfish going
around this Raja Ampat kind of area it is so cool and worth the money I'll leave a link down in the
description to go on that tour now I'm going to recommend somewhere else that you should eat if
you're in Siargao and that is Kurvada's this place is always super busy and honestly when they run
out of food they run out of food it's basically like a buffet style place and you can choose so
many different food Filipino food but they also do like pasta they even do brownies there is so
much choice and honestly I don't know how they do it but every dish just tastes so so good the other
great thing about this place it is super cheap and affordable so if you are on a budget as a
Backpacker then I recommend coming here now number 14 is not a super cool thing to do but one of the
things to do is to just chill out at the end of the day you are on a super chilled surf Island
Vibe so if you want to just go to the beach you just want to chill out in some of the super cool
cafes get smoothie bowls all day then you can do that don't feel like pressured to always do
loads of stuff whilst you're traveling because honestly traveling can be quite exhausting now
this is probably the most popular tour to do on Siargao and that is the island hopping tour the
Philippines is famous for its island hopping tools that this one is super cool and quite
unique so each island is kind of different first of all you've got Naked island and if you don't
know no you are not naked on that island it's just bear there is nothing on it but sand is
basically a sandbar there's also Daku Island and Guyam Island and highly recommend checking these
out because it is cool who doesn't love island hopping in the Philippines having an epic buffet
lunch you're gonna love these islands now number 16 is head right up north to the untouristy part
of the island once you go past the rock pools on the island there's not as many tourists the locals
are super friendly on help you out this island is covered in palm trees and you'll be able to go to
beaches and be the only ones on them there's one beach you should check out is that that is
Algeria Beach right up the north west north east and then there's also a waterfall which is the
only waterfall on the island which we didn't go to but I think you should if you're there for quite a
while now number 17 is the last thing you should do in Siargao but I'm actually can just give you
loads of tips also there are loads of hostels in shower gown so if you're on a budget there's loads
of surf hostels and places you can meet loads of people also don't worry about ATMs there are
loads of ATMs on the island also remember shower gal isn't super developed but it is developing
fast this is going to be the new Bali hopefully it doesn't go too far because this place is so
so beautiful right now but hopefully it won't be destroyed by mass tourism guys if you've got any
