Overview
Siargao is more than just a tear-drop-shaped island in the province of Surigao Del Norte in the Philippine sea. The island has a beautiful coastline, white sands, crystal clear water, mangroves, caves, and the island is surrounded by palm trees. The biodiversity of the surrounding waters, the big and dramatic waves, made Siargao the PERFECT spot for the internationally acclaimed Surfing Cup.
You will surely enjoy it’s sand and sea without the board and still feel the uniqueness of the island while enjoying the island hopping to its different beaches.
