Ultimate Siargao Philippines
ChikkaNow Siargao is known as the “Surfing Capital of the Philippines”, but you don't need to be a surfer to enjoy the beautiful scenery and natural attractions on the island...
Let's start with the bad news:
This is going to be a long post (+2000 words).
Now the good news: I also made a video for you. It took us (my bf and me) two weeks to edit the video and another one to upload it (thanks to the slow internet connection in the islands of the Philippines).
Here you go: a compact 2:30 minutes video that will show you what's so amazing about Siargao and why we fell madly in love with this island.... Watch in HD!
Still there? Great! I'm glad you're still reading.
Never heard of Siargao? Good. I like to keep it secret... OK OK, I'm gonna tell you a little bit more about it... But where do I start?!
Siargao is addictive.
The first time I stayed 4 days. The second time, almost a year later I stayed for 10 days. Still not enough. After a week in Siargao I considered buying a piece of land there. I just thought to myself: Why not? Maybe I could stay forever...?
Where is Siargao?
So where is this hidden gem, you ask? Good question. Siargao is located 800 kilometers southeast of Philippines' capital Manila. It belongs to the province of Surigao del Norte, situated at the northeastern tip of Mindanao.
In case you're a surfer and googled for information about surfing in Siargao - I'm going to disappoint you. This is not about surfing. I know, Siargao is the Surfing Spot in the Philippines and I'm sure other bloggers wrote fantastic articles about surfing in Siargao here and here, but ... I'm not one of them.
Siargao is not only about riding waves and the perfect swell. And I'm not a surfer. Because I can't wake up early. I sleep until noon. I'm a beach bum. Now you know.
No matter how many days you've planned to stay in Siargao, let me tell you it won't be enough. That's because you will fall in love with the people, the beaches and the food. Yes, the food. The seafood is absolutely the best, a culinary feast! It's so delicious, I'll promise you will dream about it after you left the island. To cut to the point: Plan a lot of time for your stay in Siargao.
