My Siargao, PH 5D4N Itinerary - Part THREE 🏄🏻♀️
On our third day on the island we were finally more energized and ready to see some of the sights via land tour. AND we also surfed! I am by no means a surfer but I've enjoyed a few surf weekends back in the day 😆

5 days and 4 nights Itinerary: PART THREE
Day 3 - Land Tour & Surf
🌴 After a big breakfast we finally had some energy to do a land tour!
🌴 We rented a tricycle for Php 1200 to do some quick stops. I recommend renting an e-tricycle vs a traditional one for this as it can get super uncomfortable especially if you're a group of 4. We only wanted to do quick stops, mainly: Coconut Trees View Deck, Maasin Bridge River Swing, Coconut Road. There are a lot more stops but note you have to allocate a FULL day for these.
🌴 We had a late lunch at Kermit Surf Resort and Restaurant Siargao and the pizzas were DELICIOUS! Highly recommend.
🌴 For the afternoon, we spent two hours surfing near Harana Surf Resort with the most helpful and amazing instructors referred to by some local friends. Surf lessons are Php 600/person for 1hr (but we were out there in the water for 2!)
🌴 We enjoyed another meal at CEV: Ceviche & Kinilaw Shack to end the day!

Wow, reading about Siargao makes me want to go back! That Day 3 sounds absolutely perfect – a mix of adventure and relaxation. I remember my first time exploring Siargao; it truly has a vibe all its own. For anyone planning their trip, I’ve got a few extra tips based on my own adventures that might help you make the most of your time on this incredible island. First off, about getting around: the tricycle land tour mentioned in the article is such a classic Siargao experience! While a tricycle for Php 1200 for quick stops is a decent deal, especially if you're a group, I totally second the recommendation for an e-tricycle if you can find one or if you're exploring the more remote areas. Traditional tricycles can get a bit bumpy on those roads! Always negotiate the price beforehand, and if you’re planning a longer, full-day tour to spots like the Magpupungko Rock Pools (another must-see!) or even further north, consider hiring a van. It might seem pricier upfront, but for comfort and covering more ground, it can be worth it, especially if you split the cost with friends. Speaking of food, Kermit Siargao's pizza is legendary for a reason! It's not just hype; their wood-fired pizzas are truly next level. I still dream about their truffle pizza! Budgeting around Php 500 per person for a good meal there, especially if you're sharing a pizza and getting drinks, is a good estimate. But Siargao's food scene is so diverse. Don't be afraid to try local eateries for delicious, affordable Filipino dishes too. Another spot I loved for a refreshing treat was Coco Frio – their fresh young coconuts are a lifesaver after a long day in the sun, and they often have unique coconut-based desserts. If you're looking to dive deeper into Siargao's natural wonders beyond the main island, you absolutely have to consider a tour to Sohoton Cove. It's usually a full-day trip, often combined with surfing at Cloud 9 or other island hopping tours, but it's completely worth it. Imagine swimming in emerald lagoons, exploring hidden caves, and seeing thousands of stingless jellyfish (don't worry, they're harmless!). It’s a completely different kind of magic compared to the main island. These tours usually leave early in the morning and can range from Php 1500-2500 per person, often including lunch and boat transfers. It’s an unforgettable experience for sure! And for those adrenaline junkies, while surfing is the main draw, jet skiing is also available in certain spots around General Luna. It's a fun way to explore the coast from a different perspective if you're looking for an alternative water activity. Just remember to prioritize safety and choose reputable operators. Finally, for those moments when you need to recharge, exploring some of Siargao's quieter spots, what some might call 'mini Siargao' experiences, can be incredibly rewarding. Think about finding a cozy cafe to relax with a book, or even trying a yoga class. I stumbled upon a lovely spot for yoga that really helped me unwind after a surf session. These little moments often become some of the most cherished memories from the trip. Siargao truly has something for everyone, whether you're chasing big waves or just want to soak in the chill island life!




The beach is amazing….Did you reserve in advance?
