About Magpupungko Rock Pools

Natural rock pools formed by volcanic rock formations on the northeast coast. At low tide, the pools are calm and clear — perfect for swimming. At high tide, waves crash dramatically over the rock formations. Accessible by motorbike (35 min from GL); check tide charts before you go — low tide only.

Cloud 9 Surfing Break

One of the top 10 surf breaks in the world. Cloud 9 is a hollow, barreling right-hander that breaks over a shallow reef — best at 4–8 feet, ridden by intermediates and experts. The iconic wooden boardwalk offers front-row spectator access even if you're not surfing. Host to the annual Siargao International Surfing Cup.

Sugba Lagoon

A stunning emerald-green lagoon in Del Carmen, accessible only by boat (45 min from General Luna). The water is impossibly clear and calm — perfect for kayaking, paddleboarding, and jumping from the wooden platform dock. Surrounded by mangroves; arrive early before the tour boats crowd in.

Island Hopping: Naked, Daku & Guyam Islands

The classic Siargao island-hop — three small islands each with a different personality. Naked Island is pure white sand with no shade; Daku (Big) Island has coconut trees, a fishing village, and the best freshly-grilled seafood lunch you'll have; Guyam Island is tiny, photogenic, and ringed by turquoise water. A full-day boat hire fits 6–8 people.
