MAASIN'S BENT COCONUT TREE ROPE — Aside from surfing, one of the most photographed and iconic Siargao experience is the curved coconut rope swing in Maasin River.

If you follow a lot of travel Instagram accounts, you've probably seen a photo or two of this infamous swing all over your feed.
When you're in Siargao, you certainly shouldn't miss this quintessential island experience.

It's along the Maasin Enchanted River in Brgy.
Maasin in Pilar, Siargao, the bent coconut tree is around 30 minutes away from General Luna. Once you reach the red Maasin Bridge, you know you're near.

You will be able to see the iconic tree from the bridge. You can follow the dirt path on the right side of the bridge, and it will lead you to the bent coconut tree.

Try to visit the place early in the morning so you can have the place to yourself. Once you're there, don't let the opportunity to feel like Tarzan pass.

Climb up on the tree, grab the rope, take the epic swing, let go and plunge into the calm waters of Massin river. The exhilarating experience will be one for the books!
Aside from the swing, you can also rent a small boat from the locals, so you can paddle around Maasin River and appreciate the raw beauty of the area.

PALM TREE ROAD — Siargao Island is covered in coconut palm trees. Coconut is practically a ubiquitous sight in this island. Aside from refreshing buko juice, much welcome shade, and various trips in Siargao, its coconut palm trees make for a beautiful backdrop for your tropical vacation photos. Those photos won't just look great on your social media feed; it will also be one of your treasured memories.
Have you ever gone to a place and felt like you're in a scene of a movie? On the way to attractions like Pacifico Beach, Magpupungko Rock Pool, and Tayangbang Cave Pool, you'll drive by a picturesque road lined with elegant and tall coconut trees.

Dont hesitate to pull over and admire the sight. Even better, take out your camera and take photographs of the palm tree-lined street against a pastel blue sky.

Another great palm attraction in Siargao is the viewpoint. Thirty minutes away from General Luna is the magnificent views overlooking the unbelievably beautiful scene of an endless sea of palm trees.

You can pass by this spot on your way to the Northern part of Siargao, where Alegria Beach is. It is ideal to go here during sunrise to get a jaw-dropping view of the sunrise-kissed mountains.

20/10/2022

MAGPUPUNGKO ROCK POOLS — Best enjoyed during the low tide, Magpupungko Rock Pools is another attraction you shouldn't leave out of your Siargao day tour. This tide-dependent pool has been one of the go-to non-surfing spots and is often combined with caves and beaches on a day trip in Siargao.

Magpupungko Rock Pools are exposed during low tide and submerged at high tide. So, timing is everything.

Visit at the right time, and you will surely see crystal blue waters and that cliff jumping experience you've been dreaming. These unique tidal pools are also perfect picture-taking spots, courtesy to its one of a kind
pool and rock formations.

You can dive off the nearby cliffs, or explore the caves surrounding the crystal pools. Be careful, however, as climbing the jagged rocks can result in scratches and bruises.

These pools are located in Pilar and are the area's primary tourist draw. The ride to Magpupungko takes only around 45 minutes from General Luna, but you can rent a van to take you there if you travel as a group.

SUGBA LAGOON — Sugba Lagoon is a gem tucked away in the quiet town of Del Carmen in Siargao. You will find this spectacular destination in the middle of a mystical mangrove forest surrounded by mountains.

Sugba Lagoon offers visitors a stunning 4,000-hectare turquoise swimming spot isolated from the hustle and bustle of General Luna. You can stake out your piece of land (or water) and chill out in perfect
isolation.

20/10/2022

DAKU ISLAND — Most prominent among the three famous islands in Siargao, Daku Island, is also the most breathtaking one. Imagine turquoise blue seawater that gives you front seat view to plenty of fish and colorful coral reefs. This long strip of beach has cottages and coconut trees, a perfect stop to have lunch after a morning of hopping from island to island.

Feel free to bring your food, or better yet, buy fresh seafood in the main island of Siargao and have locals cook them for you at Daku Island. Nothing beats a tropical seafood feast while looking out over the sparkling cerulean waters of Daku Island. Watch the stunning waves touch the shore in all its glory. Don't be afraid to get lost under the coconut palms as you roam around the island. You can also mingle and share stories with the friendly locals as they are very accommodating in suggesting other activities worth trying while in Siargao.

Go snorkeling or relish the stunningly clear water for a swim. Soak up the sun and get that perfect tan. Whether you're into underwater activities like diving, snorkeling or island-hopping in Siargao, Daku Island is the place to be.

GUYAM ISLAND — Joining an island-hopping escapade in Siargao should be on top of your list. As mentioned earlier, there are several idyllic islets off the coast of Siargao that you should experience. Aside from Naked Island, there's Guyam Island. Picture a tiny tropical island in the middle of the Pacific Ocean as a grove of luscious palm trees circled by beautiful white sand and a lovely array of rock formations. That's Guyam Island.

This palm-covered oasis is so small that you can walk to the other side of the island in about 50 steps.Don't be fooled by its size though, Guyam Island may be small, but you'll soon find yourself charmed by its azure waters, powdery sand, and reefs.

There are also hammocks and swings if you want to want to rest, read a book, or take a quick nap as you hear the sound of
waves crashing on the rocks by the shore. Because of the abundance of coconuts on this island, it's an excellent spot to sip on buko juice (coconut juice]. Your guide or a local would gladly climb up a tree and break open
a coconut for you for a small fee. It won't be a complete experience unless you enjoy a refreshing buko drink by the shores of Guyam Island.

20/10/2022

CORREGIDOR ISLAND — If you thought you'd done everything in Siargao, then you're in for another pleasant surprise. Siargao also has excellent hiking spots to offer. If you're a hiking enthusiast, you might want to check out Corregidor Island, also known as Casolian Island.

Corregidor Island is right next to Siargao Island- a 45-minute boat ride from General Luna. It's a great detour if you're up for a leisurely hike through grassy trails, rolling hills, and lush coconut groves to the white sand beaches and pebble beaches of Corregidor.
You can also hike to the top of Corregidor Island to marvel at the panoramic view of the Pacific Ocean and nearby islands.

Corregidor Island's seascape is just as picturesque as its landscape.

The island is surrounded by glistening blue waters and colorful coral reefs, making it an ideal spot for snorkeling.

You can go on a day trip with friends to Corregidor and bond over activities such as picnic by the beach, snorkeling, and paddleboarding.

NAKED ISLAND — Surfing isn't only the only exciting activity you can do in the Surfing Capital. Siargao is also popular for island hopping in the Philippines. It comes as no surprise since Siargao has several pristine islets that are every beach lover's dream. One of the islets you shouldn't miss out on is an escapade in Naked Island.

Naked Island tours feature one of the three islands you can see from the shores of General Luna. The other two islands are Daku Island and Guyam Island, which along with Naked Island, make up the highly-recommended island hopping tour in Siargao. Naked Island, a 200-meter long strip of sand in the middle of the Pacific is completely bare, except for a few shells ushered in by the waves. There are no trees or shrubs on Naked Island to give you shade.

It may be scorching hot in the noonday sun, but you're bound to enjoy the excellent contrast between the perfect white sand and blue sky.

CLOUD 9 — Cloud 9 is world-famous for its thick, hollow tubes and fast-barreling right-hand waves that break over a reef.

Most suitable for advanced nimble surfers, the Cloud 9 wave has been described as a death ride, crashing onto shallow razor-sharp coral. The force of the wave underwater is said to feel like you're being vacuumed
into a cocoon. With waves at 5 to 6 ft high, the ride is short and smooth when conditions align.

The wave was brought to the world's attention by a feature story in 1993 on 'Surfer' magazine, but traveling surfers were already visiting in the 1980s. Urban legend says Cloud 9 was named after a popular local
chocolate bar, said to be the only snack available in Siargao at the time.

Apart from surfing, what makes Cloud 9 worth visiting are the rest of Siargao's natural attractions. In and around Siargao's 49 islands are stunning virgin beaches, pristine rock pools, secret lagoons, massive corals,
and the Philippines' largest contiguous mangrove.

TIKTIKAN LAKE — From the Sohoton Tourist Assistance Center head on to another attraction that widely gained prominence among nature lovers and adventurers... the 2-hectare shallow body of salt water close to the sea but separated from it by a narrow strip of land dubbed the Tiktikan Lagoon. After less than 5-minute boat ride, slog through a 45-degree rock stairway and, as you reach the peak, let your weariness completely vanish with the glimpse of the lagoon's turquoise waters below seen in between tree trunks. A few more steps down and, from a vantage point in the reception center, look around.. face silence and experience the divine. To cap your visit, hop on a canoe, go boating and get inspired by the sight of the perfect symmetry between the mountain ranges and its reflections on the calm lagoon waters.

18/10/2022

CRYSTAL CAVE — Another comely attraction within the Sohoton Cove vicinity is an open-ended cave dubbed Crystal Cave. In stark
contrast with Bolitas Cave, the Crystal Cave is definitely an easy trek. As you walk along its big chamber and wide passage way, you can witness crystal-dotted stalactites, stalagmites, columns and formations that spark and shine amidst the dark backdrop.

18/10/2022

MAGKUKUOB/DIVING CAVE — Surely, your adrenalin would rise up at the Magkukuob Cave, so named with the bending position you must have to undergo in entering the cave, as you maneuver up rocky steps utilizing stalactites and stalagmites as handrails
towards a skylight leading to a wooden platform right on a cliff located 15 feet above sea level. But lo and behold, the height is so deceitful as it would seem that you're gazing at the ocean from the window of the plane. Hence, it would take time for the less adventurous ones to recite The Lords Prayer before gaining the composure to jump into the azure waters.

18/10/2022

Hagukan Cave is one of the must-visit attractions when one would enter the Sohoton Cove in Bucas Grande Island. The entire cave is estimated to extend up to 30 meters in area. The cave is inside the watery part of the island so visitors are expected to swim.

18/10/2022

MAGNIFICENT ROCK FORMATIONS — A sight to behold inside the cove are the spectacular, scenic and sometimes colorful rock formations, foremost of which is the "dagongdong," carved through weathering and erosion that sculpted the lime stones into magnificent forms.

18/10/2022

SOHOTON COVE — Sohoton Cave derives its name from the Cebuano word so-oton which means to pass through a small opening. In order to reach the cave, you have to pass through the jungle and the limestone walls with a small boat or kayak. This cave has a high cathedral-like dome with an entrance of parabolic arch. It is within the Sohoton Natural Bridge National Park and was established on July 19, 1935 by virtue of Proclamation No. 831, to preserve its geological features and natural wonders. It was named Sohoton Cave Natural Park but this was changed in 2005 to Sohoton Cave and Natural Bridge. The National Park stretches over 841 hectares filled with lush jungle, pristine waterfalls, the vivid river, and numerous limestone caves.

Bucas Grande is an island in the province of Surigao del Norte in the Philippines. The island is contiguous with the municipality of Socorro, Surigao del Norte. Its area is 128 square kilometres (49 sq mi). Its name means "large mouth" or "large opening" in Philippine Spanish in reference to the wide strait
in between Bucas Grande and Socorro Island.
Bucas Grande Island is situated on the far eastern part of mainland Surigao del Norte. The lone island municipality of Socorro is the only one of its kind in the entire province of Surigao del Norte. Bucas Grande Island lies within the breadth of the Pacific and is physically located at coordinates 9° 37'17"
North, 125° 58' O" East. It has a total land area of 12,445 hectares and had a population of 25,942 inhabitants at the 2020 Census, and a voting population of over 13,000.

Sering.
Bucas Grande is also the site of the Sohoton Cove, a tourist attraction consisting of a cluster of small islets with lagoons, natural limestone caves, and rock formations. The name means "narrow opening" in Visayan, referring to the narrow gaps between the small islands. It is commonly mistaken as being a national park, due to the confusion with the similarly named Sohoton Caves and Natural Bridge Park in Samar Island to the north.
