THINGS TO DO:

Magpupungko

By the looks of it, the area where the Rock Pools are located is commercialised and tourist-friendly. Various restaurants and food stalls are in the area. You just pay Php 50 environmental fee at the entrance. Bring a packed lunch or order some meals and enjoy eating while admiring the splendid view. When tides are low, there are two ways to reach the Rock Pools. One, you can pass from the back going through rocky steps or two you can pass through the beach. Be sure to wear some reef shoes or slippers to protect your feet.

Cloud 9 Surfing Area

Cloud Nine Resort enjoys direct view to the famous Clound Nine break! The resort consists of 6 individual cottages with self-contained bathrooms and caters for a maximum of 20 guests. 4 cottages are fan cooled and 2 have air conditioning. The individual cottages all vary in size and are set in lush, tropical gardens. Bedlinen, towels and mosquito nets are provided and cottages are cleaned daily. Each cottage has it’s own large verandah to relax and hammock supplied. We have a back up generator in case of brown outs which are an occasional occurance on the island. Sagana resort also has the only swimming pool on the island and is available for in-house guests only. There is a shallow childrens pool attached to the main salt water pool.

Cloud Nine Hostel has two main buildings with more than 20 rooms just 200 metres to the left of Cloud Nine and right across from Rock Island. Amazing sunsets. Rooms with fan or AC. Great food. Try the Burritos!

Sugba Lagoon

Sugba Lagoon is one of the most popular things to do on Siargao. It’s a short day trip from General Luna, Siargao to a spectacular lagoon surrounded by epic mountains. The day trip costs around 1500 pesos (30 USD) per person or more if you book it in the tourist are of General Luna. However, we managed to find a way to get to Sugba Lagoon for 300 pesos (5 USD) per person.
