TOURIST SPOTS IN
SURIGAO DEL NORTE
SIARGAO is just a part of Surigao del Norte.
However, it often overshadows Surigao del Norte because of its popularity.
The province of Surigao Del Norte is not just a nondescript “Gateway to Mindanao” and even beyond the surf haven, Siargao. This group of islands boasts of large mineral deposits, long stretch of beaches, mystic caves, verdant greens, and abundant marine life. Popular tourist attractions here include Bucas Grande, Mabua Pebble Beach, and Lake Mainit. Read More: https://www.traveloka.com/en-ph/packages/philippines/region/surigao-del-norte-10009320

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.

Siargao is famous, locally and internationally, for the cloud 9 waves; however, for those who don’t surf or are done surfing, there are other things to do. One such activity is island hopping; Daku Island is the biggest in the trio which includes Guyam and Naked Islands. Daku has fine bone-white sand, emerald waters, and swaying coconut trees — all of which make it the perfect tropical destination. It also has a barangay with friendly locals.

Ever been to Siargao, The Surfing Capital of the Philippines? Then you should also try walking in the white sands of Naked Island. Just like the White Island of Camiguin, Naked Island of Siargao doesn’t have any plants or trees growing except for some small bushes around it.
It is probably one of the top tourist spots in Siargao because of the beautiful scenery that you can only find in the island. Naked Island is one of the three islands visible from the shores of General Luna, Siargao. Read More: https://www.vigattintourism.com/tourism/articles/The-Beautiful-Naked-Island-of-Siargao
