    Really good adventure with a great tour guide full of fun. Time is obviously limited on each island but enough to explore a little, snorkel or just worship the baking sun. The waters around Siargao are very clean but the current is strong stay close to the shore line.
    Boody fight lunch was great, a good balance of sea foods, rice, noodles, chicken adobo, veggies and fruits.

    Respect the cleanliness of the beaches as the locals must work hard to keep them so pristine.

    Overall, this was a well-organized Private tour but we were a bit disappointed by our guide because his English was extremely poor. Half of the time we didn’t know what we need to do and where we need to go next. Apart from that, the islands we visited were all interesting and beautiful. Following are more details about each location.

    The pickup went smoothly and we were driven near the docks (a 10-minute ride). Upon arrival, we were introduced to our guide who took us to a nearby market and advised us to buy fish, fruits, and snacks which he then stored in a cooler. We then rented snorkeling equipment for 150P (which is offered by the operator of the boats)and we hopped in the boat and traveled to Naked Island (~20 minutes). The island is interesting but I wouldn’t call it beautiful as there was a lot of seaweed on it. I did some snorkeling and we managed to chill for an hour (as the sun wasn’t super strong).

    Next up, we went to ??? Island. There are a lot of restaurants on the island and they all look nice. Our guide recommended one of them and we rented a cabana in it for 250P. They prepared the fish and fruits we bought from Siargao and served them in a fast manner. It was super delicious. We explored the island for an hour which was very interesting and then we set sail to the next island.

    After 20 minutes we arrived on ??? island. It is a small island where you can buy cocktails and fresh juice. This was a chill spot which we very much enjoyed. I then swam to the secret sandbar which is ~600 meters away. It took me unexpectedly long but the perk is - there are really interesting snorkeling spots along the way. A started swimming back to the island but since it took so much time to get to the sandbar I was interjected by our boat which transported us back to where our trip started. Afterward, we were transported back to our hotel.

    Overall, this was a nice trip but our guide was not interactive and in the rare moments he spoke - we did not understand anything. I would recommend finding a Shared tour when you arrive in Siargao (I don’t see such options on Tripadvisor) because the tourists on the Shared tours seemed to have more fun.

    I wanted a female surf instructor and when I searched it up and found the great reviews about Ana, I booked right away 🙂
    She is so friendly and knowledgeable. I was riding waves 🌊 like a pro 😉

    Although this Private tour was well-organized and the places we visited were amazingly beautiful we were disappointed with our tour guide. His English was very poor so most of the time we did not understand what we needed to do or what we are supposed to do next. He was a bit pushy - almost forcing us to take photos in some places. In addition, every place you visit has some additional fees which aren’t big but they quickly add up and are rather annoying. Following are more details about each location.

    We were picked up from our hotel in General Luna at 7 AM - it was a 1-hour ride to the Sugba Lagoon entrance. We rented Snorkeling equipment from the dock (150P) and then took a boat through the Lagoon (30 mins). The Lagoon is extremely beautiful and we had a great time (although the boat's motor was quite loud).

    We arrived at the famous jump spot and we did quite a lot of jumps. It was pretty early in the morning (9 AM) so we avoided lots of tourists and crowds. We swam around the area since the water was very warm and welcoming. We then rented 2 paddle boards for 300P each (which I really recommend) and started cruising in the lagoon which was a very peaceful and pleasant experience. You can rent canoes here if you’d prefer. They also offer glass-bottom canoes.

    We hopped in our boat and made our way to Pamomoan Beach. We were almost forced to rent a cabana there for 300P and buy lunch in a restaurant run by a local family. The beach is pretty small and the restaurant is the only building that you will see there. They offer fresh fish and they cook it very well. Everything was actually delicious - I just wanted the experience to not feel so pushy. The beach environment is amazing - it has the greenest and the softest grass and has beautiful sights to behold and take photos of. I also did some snorkeling but it was rather uninteresting.

    We then took our boat and traveled 100 meters away to the nearby island called Kawhagan where we were able to relax for an hour. The environment is very similar to the previous island so I think this could be skipped in general. After our chill time, we took our boat back to the starting dock, and our driver took us to our hotel.
