SIARGAO is just a part of Surigao del Norte.
However, it often overshadows Surigao del Norte because of its popularity.
Siargao, a small and unassuming island off the coast of Surigao del Norte, is one of Mindanao’s prized destinations. Famed for its surfing spot named “Cloud 9”, the island is increasingly becoming popular to local and foreign tourists, surfers and non-surfers alike.
Siargao is almost synonymous to surfing, but more than its waves, there are other attractions that dot the island. Dip in the natural infinity pools and beach of Magpupungko in the town of Pilar; hop and laze under the sun in the sand bar and fine white sand islands off General Luna; dive the underwater caves and unspoiled sites around the island; paddle board in the green waters of Sugba Lagoon; go bird watching or game fishing; feast with fresh seafoods and other local delicacies; or explore other beaches, waterfalls, and natural attractions of the place.
Siargao is not only all about surfing, it has evolved into an all around adventure and eco-tourism destination. Come and discover its manifold of offerings and be amazed of the tropical paradise that is Siargao!

Aside from the island’s great waves, Siargao also boasts of other equally interesting attractions that are worth visiting and these include Magpupungko Beach and Tidal Pools in the town of Pilar.
Only an hour and a half from General Luna, Magpupungko Beach is a small stretch of cream colored sand beach with a great view of sunrise. But it is no usual beach because on its northern end are amazing rock formations and tidal pools that are created by nature itself.
During low tide, the enclosed underwater crevices on the shore create natural sea water pools that seem like infinity pools. The wide underwater boulder serves as wall that separates the placid green pools to the crashing waves of the Pacific. The spot is decorated by rock formations, the largest is the iconic Magpupungko Rock that is sitting on top a flat rock! Everything on that place is simply extraordinary!

A mountain lake the size of a football stadium, Lake Mahucdam is nestled in a thick forested area rich in biodiversity. The presence of tarsier and tarictic hornbill makes the place ecologically significant. Read More: https://explora.ph/attraction/1185/lake-mahucdam
As of 2019, there are no standard tours offered to Mam-On Island compared to the regular, daily trips to other islands nearby to Siargao. However, many of the tour operators use Mam-On as an alternative to the other, busier islands. The best way to get out to Mam-On and La Januza would be to chat with the tour operator and convince them to switch up the itinerary to include Mam-On and La Januza instead of Daku and Guyam. For less than $25 USD, you can book your island hopping tour. It is possible to book a private boat tour but this will be much more expensive. There are no public transportation options.
