What travelers are saying
“A really refreshing of the summer heat because of the cold water from the falls.” “Be prepared for a bit of long walk downhill and back uphill!” “Relax, unwind and feel the cool taste of nature.”
This is a photo of me taken in different spots in Hagimit Falls in Samal.
SIARGAO
Siargao Island is a tear-drop shaped island in the Philippine Sea situated 800 kilometers southeast of Manila in the province of Surigao del Norte, northeastern Mindanao. It is well known as “the Surfing Capital of the Philippines” with a reputation among surfers within the Philippines and the International scene.

THIS IS ME WITH MY TITO AND COUSINS AND THIS PHOTO WAS TAKEN AT THE PORT OF SIARGAO.THE SECOND DAY WE HAVE DONE AN ISLAND HOPPING TO ENJOY THE BEAUTY OF SIARGAO.
NAKED ISLAND
Naked Island fits the description of beach destination — fine white sand and cool clear waters. It got its name because of its ‘nakedness’; there’s no shade or almost anything on the island. It is only a few minutes away by boat from General Luna.

NAKED ISLAND IS THE FIRST ISLAND WE WENT TO AND I CAN SAY THAT YES THE SAND IS TOO HOT BUT WHEN YOU DIP YOUR BODY TO THE SEA, THE WATER IS COLD AND REFRESHING.
DAKU ISLAND
Daku Island is a part of the island hopping tour that also includes Guyam and Naked Islands. Daku is the biggest of the three; it has soft white sand that fit perfectly between your toes and refreshing mirror-like waters perfect for swimming and snorkeling.

THIS IS A PHOTO ME TAKEN IN DIFFERENT SPOTS IN DAKU ISLAND. ALSO THE PEOPLE IN HERE ARE SO VERY POLITE AND KIND TO ALL THE TOURIST THAT WILL COME HERE.
CLOUD 9 SURFING AREA
Cloud 9 – one of the most well-known waves world wide and one of the best in the Philippines, is a perfect barreling right hand reef break that can be both fun and challenging. Although it is a relatively short wave, the fact that it barrels nearly the whole way guarantees satisfaction.
Cloud Nine is best at mid to high tide. At low tide it is extremely shallow and a high risk of getting hurt or breaking your board. At low tide the biggest part of the reef is dry, surrounding the famous boardwalk and tower, from which you can watch the surfers getting one barrel after another.

YOUR TRIP IN SIARGAO WILL NOT BE COMPLETED IF YOU HAVEN’T TRIED SURFING BECAUSE THAT IS WHAT THE ISLAND IS KNOWN FOR. AT FIRST IT WAS HARD BUT IT WAS ENJOYABLE AND FUN TO DO EVEN THOUGH IT IS REALLY TIRING BUT ALL IN ALL IT WAS SO GOOOOOOOD.
A NIGHT IN SIARGAO
THERE ARE A LOT OF PLACES AT NIGHT WHERE YOU CAN TAKE PICTURES AND ALSO YOU CAN RENT A MOTORCYCLE FOR P400 SO YOU CAN GET A RIDE TO EXPLORE THE PLACES IN SIARGAO.
