Surfing Siargao

Saturday, June 30th, 2007

Siargao Island, an approximately 437 kilometer island located in northeastern tip of Mindanao (the southernmost island of the Philippines) is known for its surfing breaks. In fact, its most popular break nickname Cloud Nine has earned a reputation as one of the top surfing waves in the world.

One of the most famous towns in this island is General Luna where you can take pleasure in seeing and experiencing the unspoilt wonders of nature – laid back atmosphere, clear blue water and soothing sea breeze.

Siargao also takes pride on its caves. Have a whole day boating trips visiting the caves and the exotic creatures that habitate in this dark, cold, and quiet sanctuary. See bats, rock oysters, rare fish, stalactites, and corals that you will not be able to see anywhere else.

Siargao is truly an experience of a lifetime
