Explore the island
Siargao is much more than one beach or one surf break. Use Aggehanan in General Luna as a base for surfing, island hopping, road trips, swimming and some of the island's more local scenes.
Cloud 9 in General Luna is Siargao's best-known surf landmark and one of the places that put the island on the international surfing map. Even if you do not surf, the Cloud 9 area is worth visiting for the boardwalk, ocean views and the atmosphere around one of the Philippines' most famous waves.
Cloud 9 is only part of Siargao's surf scene. Depending on swell, wind and tide, surfers also look to breaks around General Luna and elsewhere on the island, including Jacking Horse, Quicksilver, Tuason, Cemetery, Rock Island, Stimpy's, Daku and Pacifico. Conditions can change quickly, so local surf guides are the best source for where to paddle out on a particular day.
The road around Malinao and Secret Beach has become a popular late-afternoon meeting place for surf skating and skateboarding. Locals and visitors gather to ride, watch the sunset and spend time around the small food and drink stalls that appear along the road. It is a very Siargao way to end the day when you want something different from the beach or surf.
The classic island-hopping trip from General Luna visits Guyam Island, Daku Island and Naked Island. A longer four-island option also adds Corregidor (Casolian) Island, bringing green hills and a more active walking stop into the day. Aggehanan can help guests ask about the current island-hopping options.
Magpupungko is known for natural tidal pools and rock formations on Siargao's east coast. Timing matters because the pools are best experienced around low tide; check the tide before making the trip.
Sugba Lagoon is one of Siargao's best-known day trips, with calm blue-green water surrounded by forested islands. Trips normally involve road travel toward Del Carmen followed by a boat ride into the lagoon area.
Sohoton is one of the premier day trips from Siargao: a longer excursion through maze-like lagoons and jungle-covered karst islands, with cave adventures and the famous jellyfish sanctuary. Aggehanan can arrange Sohoton trips with transport, entrance fees and a Filipino boodle fight lunch included.
Driving north opens up a quieter side of Siargao. Pacifico is known for surfing and a slower coastal feel, Alegria for its long white-sand beach, and Taktak Falls adds a freshwater stop to the road trip.
