Surfing Ability
Siargao has waves for any ability, from complete beginners right up to the best in the world. With tropical water sitting around 28 degrees there’s no need for wetsuits, you’ll find the extra flexibility a huge bonus and most people find their surfing progresses so quickly as a result.
Here's what you can expect for your ability...
Beginners
There are some simply perfect beginner waves on the island. Gently peeling waves that give you plenty of time to find your feet.
Even complete novices will advance really quickly in these perfect beginner waves.
With five 1-to-1 lessons included in the package you'll quickly be able to advance to a level where you're catching and riding your own waves and are ready for the next stage of your surfing journey.
Improvers - Intermediates
There are heaps of choices once you reach the intermediate level. If you're comfortable catching and riding unbroken waves then Siargao has a wealth of different spots for you to enjoy.
Expect peeling reefs & points, perfect for honing your skills in the surf. During your sessions you'll be paddling out with your local guide, gaining experience and knowledge in the lineup to help you improve.
If you're ready to push your limits then you could be rewarded with the wave of your life!
Advanced Surfers
If you're looking to challenge yourself then Siargao has plenty of waves that will do just that. Siargao is home to the world famous Cloud 9, a super heavy, hollow reef break that is in the top 10 waves in the world, but that's just a taster of what this amazing island has to offer.
We'll be searching for waves that will tick all the boxes for you. From tubes, to point breaks, to open ocean bombies, this little island has it all!
Your coach will be guiding you in the lineups, offering tips on technique and making sure you're on the peak when the bombs come through!

How to get there?
International Leg
OPTION 1 - Flight to Cebu Mactan (CEB)
This would be our recommended route, it’s the one we usually take. It usually involves a brief stopover en-route but all you’ll have to do is hop off the plane, stretch your legs and re-board. By flying directly to Cebu you cut down on the internal flights you need to take with domestic airlines.
OPTION 2 - Flight to Manila (MNL)
There are lots of airlines that fly to Manila from all over Europe, if you’re planning on bringing your own board then make sure you check airline restrictions prior to making a booking.
If you need any advice booking your flights then get in touch and we’ll help wherever we can. We would always recommend booking through a company with ATOL and ABTA protections and ensure that you have travel insurance in-place before making any booking.
Domestic Leg
FROM CEBU
OPTION 1 - Flight to Siargao (IAO)
The easiest way to get to Siargao is with a hopper flight from Cebu (CEB) to Siargao (IAO) with an airline called Philippine Airlines. Multiple options each day so you should find one that fits with your international arrival date. There is another airline called Cebu Pacific which flies this route, however they’ve been known to be less reliable and very sneaky with extra fees for things like surfboards, overweight baggage or selecting the wrong options online, so proceed with caution.
OPTION 2 - Flight to Surigao (SUR) & Ferry to Siargao
The flight from Cebu to Surigao is fairly short (1 hour), it’s only a 10 minute taxi ride from the airport to the ferry port. Ferry from Surigao to Dapa in Siargao takes 2-4 hours depending on the boat that you get, and leaves late morning. The ticket system and ferry port can be a bit chaotic so we’d only recommend this option if you’re a seasoned traveller and used to travelling in South East Asia. The ferry takes an absolutely stunning route though so it’s worth the hassle to get some incredible memories!
FROM MANILA
Flights leave Manila directly to Siargao (IAO) every day. Depending on the timings of your international flight then you may need to stay overnight in Manila prior to flying to the island the next day, however there are a lot of hotels in all price ranges very close to the airport.
As with anything on this trip, if you need a hand booking just give us a shout!

As a beginner I was taken to manageable waves and really felt stronger by the end of the trip!
On top of that, the island was, put simply, paradise. Best trip ever.
