Surigao and Siargao

[naughtybrat]

question, kaya ba in 1 day ang Bucas Grande and Siargao tour? balak ko lang is puntahan yung 3 islands sa Siargao, di na mag surfing.

kahit 5 days kami, parang mabibitin pa rin kami for Surigao/Siargao, including Enchanted River, kasi on the 5th day, mga 11am ang flight namin.  ano bang magandang itinerary?

baka di kasya ng one day, or baka dapat super early as in 6 dapat set na kayo. Kami kasi nagutom nag pahinga nag luto etc so 1 day e sohoton lang. 1 day ulit for the island hopping.

Kami we spent 6 days but di pa namin napuntahan ang enchanted river + falls. Bitin samin. Share your iti sis =)

^thanks sis. mukhang may kailangan talaga akong i-give up na isa   eto kasi unang plan ko:

day 1 - butuan to surigao city; since di aabot sa last trip going to socorro or dapa, stay overnight muna in surigao city.
day 2 - early trip going to soccoro then sohoton tour; overnight in socorro
day 3 - early trip going to dapa; island hopping in siargao; leave in the afternoon to surigao-butuan (if possible); overnight in butuan
day 4 - early trip going to bislig for enchanted river and tinuy-an falls; leave in the afternoon and go back to accommodation in butuan
day 5 - 11am flight back from butuan to manila

sinusulat ko pa lang parang nakakapagod na.  kaya mukhang kailangan namin mag give up ng isa.  baka siargao ang i-give up namin since marami pang pwedeng puntahan sa siargao, not only the 3 islands near dapa. what do you think mga sisses?

[naughtybrat]

Sis try mo the other way around or search mo Kung pwede to -
Day 1: arrival in Butuan - enchanted river + falls. Overnight w/in the area/ Butuan or Surigao if possible

Day 2: Siargao (magpopongco then rest or surf)

Day 3: Siargao (island hopping and/or sohoton) * I think the boat is much cheaper if coming from siargao. Haggle!

Day 4: Siargao (island hopping and/or sohoton) then back to Surigao then Butuan

Day 5: fly fly na

* I don't know if this is possible pa ha, try mo muna research. If not, then kailangan may tanggalin ka talaga sis. Balik Ako with my friends again on September 1 week kami, pahiram ng magiging iti mo

^sis hindi yata kaya ng 1 day yung enchanted river and tinuy-an falls. magkalayo sila and ang alam ko magkaibang way din.

[purpleish]

wow ang ganda pala ng Siargao nga-nga sa Dedon Island hehe

[matetreyes]

ganda ng facilities ng Dedon, kaso parang hindi kagandahan yung beach

[riandrew]

siguro dahil hindi lang sunny weather kaya naging parang dirty ang beach....

yung tapat ng cloud 9, guyam island na yun!

[jdin25]

My officemate plan for a honeymoon at nagpa quote just now at Dedon island, its more or less Php24,000 per pax per day and minimum stay should be 3days. The flight included is only from Cebu to Siargao. So you have to get a ticket pa from Manila to Cebu.

thanks sis naughtybrat. naisip ko rin na unahin ang enchanted river + tinuy-an falls kaya lang parang nakakapagod na pabalik-balik uli ng butuan. well, travel pa lang talaga nakakapagod na, hehe.  but anyway, i'll check ulit the IT and time.  magtutuos pa kami ni boyfie kung may tatanggalin ba kami o wala.

sis matetreyes, based sa research ko, an hour away lang daw ang enchanted river sa tinuy-an falls.  yung bus going to bislig will pass by hinatuan (enchanted river) muna then to bislig (tinuy-an falls).

ang sohoton tour ba in bucas grande puro caves and jellyfish sighting lang?  parang mas interested pa ko sa beach lang   saka, ganito ba talaga kamahal ang sohoton tour or depende sa boatman?

ganda nga sis lalo na yong villa saka bathroom, feature kanina sa kris tv. kaso mukhang maharlika talaga

bucas grande ang highlight! kahit saan madaming beach, pero hindi laging may stingless jellyfish..

Chartered plane yata yung from Cebu to Dedon kaya mahal yung package.
And parang maximum of 20 people lang pwedeng magstay sa resort so private na nga island,
konti lang rin talaga pwedeng makasabay sa resort.
Nagustuhan ko rin yung bathroom!
Ang nakita kong rate, cheapest yung $800 per pax per night minimum of 3 nights, inclusive of the transfers, 3meals a day and the water activities. Pag room lang, cheapest yata is around php6,000 per pax per night. Pero gagastos ka rin sa pagpunta mo dun.

thanks for the inputs sis raindrew and ikaela.  mukhang island hopping na nga in siargao ang i-drop namin, balik na lang ulit. but again, dependa pa kay bf kung alin ba gusto nya, island hopping o sohoton tour..

[riandrew]

mahal kasi talaga ang sohoton tour lalo na kung 2 lang kayo.

kung ako man yun mapapaisip din ako. hehe salamat talaga at may nagsponsor ng bucas grande tour namin. hihi

Ella Montana, where did you see that 6,000 per night rate? That sounds too good to be true!

Hi! Has anyone been to club tara? Punta kasi kami sa MAy. Ganda kasi sa website. Sana yung actual maganda din.

[ikaela]

^Intriga din ako sa Club Tara before but after reading the reviews on Trip Advisor, it seemed more like an overpriced, oversold, poorly maintained place than anything else. I would go there for the surroundings, maybe, but if I were to stay at Club Tara, I would book the cheapest room. Hope you got a deal on your stay there.

question po. ilang oras from Surigao City to Hayanggabon Port, 2 hours van ride ba, tama?

[funky f]

Got the deal from cashcash. 13k for 3d2n.  The thing is, mahal din pala from airport to the island. 3k daw. Does anyone know kung ok lang kung dun na lang kami kukuha ng transfers when we get to surigao? Or dapat ba talaga pre-arranged na? Mahal kasi nh sabi ng hotel, 3k daw. E naisip ko baka mas mura kung dun na lang kmi maghanap upon landing...

[tinapay]

^transfers from where to where?  may mga nababasa kasi ko na yung iba sa tourism office nagtatanong for the tour and transfers, e.g. Hayanggabon port to sohoton tour.  may mga mabibigay na sila sayong boatman and rates for the tour.

would anyone know where to stay near claver town/hayanggabon port?

meron na rin bang nakapag-stay na sa cinnamon island?
