Siargao Travel Guide 2018 - Suggested Itinerary and Expenses

Spending four days in Siargao was one of the best and happy days of my 2018. It is a beautiful island with the coolest people on earth! No wonder people just can't stop talking about it!

While it is known to be the surfing capital of the Philippines, there are other interesting things you can do to fully enjoy the island. My favorite spot was in Pacifico especially in the 'forbidden' tower. This is where you can see the BEST view in Siargao. And the best activity for me was the Sohoton Cove tour. By the way, in case you're wondering, I travelled 24 hours just to get here from Tacloban City,  Leyte. If you don't want to pay for expensive plane tickets and you're based in Eastern Visayas, you might want to check my travel guide here --> Tacloban to Siargao Travel Guide

Anyway, here's a sample itinerary that you can use as a guide to fully enjoy your Siargao experience!

Tacloban to Siargao the Cheapest Way - Land Trip Travel Guide

While looking at the Philippine map, I noticed that Surigao City is just across Southern Leyte and it made me realize that travelling to Siargao from Tacloban would be possible. Since then, I wanted to go there alone even before the Siargao movie but I was hesitant because I was worried about my safety. Until one day I got an invite from two of my cebu-based friends. The plane ticket was expensive at that time so I just decided to go there via land trip. Little did I know that this would be the best trip I'd ever have (despite all the challenges I've faced on my way going there).
