Surfin Siargao




I was in Siargao 12 years ago when not too many tourists were going there. Stayed there only for a day and a night. But the little that I saw, I liked and I vowed to return.

Thanks to Cebu Pacific traveling to Siargao has been made easy and cheaper ( if you avail of promo rates). They have flights from Manila that connect to Siargao via Cebu. So finally this July I got the chance to stay for a week and took the opportunity to see more of this island paradise.

This time around there were more tourists and the majority were foreigners who came mainly for surfing. Cloud 9 ( the surfing area of Siargao) continues to be the main attraction of Siargao. In July, surf was mild which was good for beginners. Best time to go for surfers is from August to October where the waves are at its strongest. There is an international surfing competition held annually in September.

For non-surfers, Cloud 9 is still a good place to visit because of the beautiful seascape made rustic with the long wooden walkway that leads to the surfing area.
