Travel Philippines

Welcome to the city of Surigao: The Philippines’ Surfing Capital. Surigao City is a great starting point to discover even more beautiful places of interest namely Siargao and Dinagat Island in the North or Lake Mainit in the South.

The unspoiled teardrop shaped island called Siargao is a Shangri-la for adventurers and nature lovers. It is the surfing capital of the Philippines. This surfing haven is located 800 kilometers Southeast of Manila. Siargao is now one of the world’s great frontiers for surf exploration. Its most popular break is “Cloud Nine.” Surfing is best from July to November when strong waves are in constant motion. The powerful wave-off “Cloud 9″ has been hailed as one of the world’s five toughest breaks and has been frequently compared to the famous surf of Hawaii and Australia. Siargao’s “Cloud Nine”, a powerful hollow right hander, featured in “Surf Magazine” as one of the ten best waves in the world.

Are you ready for Island Hopping? There are islets where you’ll find fine white sand beaches and crystal clear waters comparable to Boracay Paradise. The three favorites - Guyam, Daku and Naked Island are close to General Luna and can be visited by renting your own banca (a boat) for only P1, 000.00. Traveling around the town makes easier with habal-habal, a motorcycle that can load up to 7 passengers to that will bring you to different destinations in town.

Surigao Del Norte is not visited by typhoons, unlike the other provinces exposed to the Pacific Ocean. Located outside the typhoon belt, the province still receives plenty of rainfall
