Alternatively. from Sayak airport, you can take a van for ₱300/head or a habal-habal (motorcycle) for

*This budget expectation is possible given that you will be in a group of 5 like we were. You’ll also be
staying at Port 303 and will have a tipid budget for food at ₱300 daily. Again, if you have extra money, food
in Siargao is the beeeeest! You need to try Harana’s Halo-halo (it was divine!), Aventino’s Pizza
(nyeeeeeam!!!), Shaka Coffee and have some beer at Buddha Bar. Prices in posh restaurants are
reasonable but not really tailored to budget travelers.

WHAT ELSE TO DO IN SIARGAO?

1. SUGBA LAGOON– This is another rising destination when in Siargao. Pumpboat rate is at ₱1,600. We
skipped this part since we didn’t have enough time.
2. MILKY WAY PHOTOGRAPHY– As a lover of the night skies, I never expected Siargao to give me a
mouthful! I remember how we were eating by the streets of General Luna and was awestruck when I saw
the Milky Way just above us at 7pm! Learn about shooting the Milky Way HERE.

4. RENT A MOTORBIKE– You’ll be in for a surprise with how lovely this island of Siargao is. Go and
explore the untouched shorelines and beaches other than General Luna.
5. GO ON A FOOD TRIP– As mentioned above, it is safe to say that Siargao is also thriving on food
tourism.
