Exploring Inland Siargao, PH: Things To Know 🌴
What's so great about Siargao is you don't have to be *just* a surfer or a beach bum to enjoy it because it has so much to offer for travelers with different interests. If it's your first time I highly recommend doing a land tour to get to see Siargao's inland attractions.
Siargao Land Tour
Things to Know
🥥 You'll see vast coconut groves, can canoe through a river, swim in tide pools, and explore a lagoon.
🥥 There are several ways to do this: arrange a tour with your hotel (especially for larger groups), hire a tricycle for the day, or rent a motorbike to self-tour.
🥥 You don't really need to prebook this tour as most tricycles you find on the street are available for full-day rentals.
🥥 For our group of 4, we were a bit last minute so we ended up hiring a tricycle who agreed to do a half day tour for Php 1200 or $21. Usually the prices can go up to Php 2000 / $36 for a full day excursion which is still not bad! The tricycle we ended up getting was a bit "old style" so we were actually very uncomfortable (it also had a hard time with ascents along the road) so if you're doing this route, I recommend taking the e-tricycles which will cost the same.
🥥 If you're just two people, then you'll save a lot more by renting a motorbike for the day - provided that you're comfortable with this mode of transport. Rentals average at about Php 500/day.
🥥 For our stops, we only did: Coconut Trees View Deck & Maasin Bridge River Swing so I highly recommend setting aside an entire day for this to enjoy the other spots.
