Surigao and Siargao

[tomatostellar]

^she kaingget! sana ma push namin yan next year!

[neenah]

thank you sis kymmmm,

nakatxt ko na si kuya bebot, parang ang mahal at ng sohoton cave tour, 4500php, ganto ba talaga presyo sis?

[beach_n_sunsets]

^^We want to go back na nga agad eh 

^sis neenah,
Parang range ng rate ng boat papuntang Sohoton from Siargao is 4,500-6,000 sabi sa mga blogs. Pero na-contact ko si Kuya Lito (09073103333), P3,000 lang bigay niya kasi dalawa lang kami. Sayang lang hindi kami tinuloy dahil tinamad kami hehe.

[beach_n_sunsets]

^Yup, from General Luna port. Actually sis, bigay niya noong una sa 'kin ay 4000 lang kasama na 'yung 3 nearby islands (Guyam, Naked, Daku). So lumalabas 1k lang yung island hopping dun sa 3, ang usual rates kasi ay 1200-1500. Pwedeng sa kanya na rin kayo for island hopping

In Siargao, parang wala kami nakita masyado na souvenirs. Puro ref magnets and key chain lang na hugis surfboard. 3pcs for P100 yung maliliit tapos P50 each yung malaki. Sa Liko-an kami bumili. Doon na ang nakita naming pinakamura na ref magnet. The rest of the items like necklace, anklets, etc. ang mamahal na.

subscribing! 


bakit ganon, parang hindi sinasama sa seat sale ang Siargao at Surigao. Or lagi lang talaga ko nauubusan kahit madaling araw pa lang? 

[kaiz]

^seldom lang talaga seat sale since 1 lang ang flight

[khymmmm]

Sorry sis Neenah, ngayon lang ulit ako nakapag-open ng thread.. and I believe nasa Siargao ka na at this very moment.  How was your solo trip?

[tomatostellar]

^booked na flight nyo sis? mas malapit sa Bislig/Tinuy-an falls ang Butuan Airport kesa Davao

[mama squeak!]

Just came back from a 5-day stay at Dedon Island resort. We super loved our stay! Pampered to the max kami ni hubby. We also had surfing lessons arranged by the resort. Massage everyday! So much fun!

[_glamorosa]

mga sis, ask ko lang, from siargao to surigao, dadaan talaga muna sa socorro/bucas grande? lahat halos kasi ng blogs, ang dinidiscuss ay from surigao to siargao.

we'll be landing in siargao kasi then we plan to go to tinuy-an and enchanted river.

thanks in advance!

[gardenbelle]

^booked na flight nyo sis? mas malapit sa Bislig/Tinuy-an falls ang Butuan Airport kesa Davao

Yes sis, booked na kami. Though mas malayo ang Davao, we chose it kasi earlier ang ETA so mas maaga pa din kami makakadating sa enchanted river hehe. Loong ride nga lang

Sisses, what should be in our must-do activities if we go to Bucas Grande? Thanks!

[ravenblack]

Galing kami dito last week.
Sobrang nakaka-inlove yung lugar.
Day 1 - Bucas Grande/Sohoton Cove
- nag-avail kami ng daytour package for this.
sobrang mura lang.
eto yung inclusion
-boat from hayanggabon port (Balikan na 'to ah)
-small boat transfer
-guide fees and entrance fees
- sohoton cove
-marka A island
-bolitas cave
-crystal cave
- bubon grp of islet
-hagukan cave
-Magkukuob cave
-non-sting jellyfish tour
-club tara viewing
-Free lunch sa Cinnamon Island

** sobrang sulit yung food kasi 7 lang kami pero sobrang dami ng food mga pang 15 peeps na siguro yun.
-hidden island viewing

nakabalik kami sa Hayanggabon port ng mga 4PM, BTW 7:00AM pala kami sinundo sa Port.

pagdating namin sa port inantay lang namin yung ni-rent namin na Starex (good for 9person yun)
nagbyahe na kami pa Tandag City tas dun na kami nagpalipas ng gabi.
9PM nagcheck-in kami.

Day 2: Enchanted River and Tnuy-An Falls
Tinuy-An falls - 50pesos entrance
pwede din mag rent ng life vest sa kanila. Kaya lang hindi na kami naligo dito kasi bagong ulan lang e mejo greenish yung tubig. Pero kung di siguro umulan nun baka naligo din kami dito. Nag-picture picture lang tas dumiretso na kami sa Enchanted River.

Enchanted River - entrance -30pesos / life vest - 15/hour
inabutan pa namin yung fish feeding around 12noon.
pinaahon nila lahat ng naliligo tas nagplay sila ng music habang pinapakain yung mga isda
anlalaki nila at ang dami. Sobrang blue nung tubig at sobrang linaw, kita mo na yung ilalim.
hindi naman talaga nawawala yung mga fish e pumupunta lang sila sa malalim na part.
Ang swerte ng punta namin kasi ang konti lang ng mga tao.

After Enchanted River, nag check-in na kami sa SIBADAN Fish Cage, sobrang laki ng mga isda siguro may 3-feet yung mga isda dun tas may sting ray, may blacktip shark na nakahiwalay na cage, may lobster cage, tsaka iba ibang fish.

basta sobrang ganda sa Surigao punta na kayo.
kung need nyo ng contacts para sa sasakyan and package tour sa sohoton, PM nyo nalang ako.
tinabi ko talaga yung mga contacts kasi balak ko pang bumalik.

[gardenbelle]

Sisses!

Question lang, our flight going back to Manila is 8PM via Butuan.

Is it safe (time-wise) if we take the 10/11AM Boat Siargao to Surigao.
Then Surigao to Butuan, we hired a private van so mas mabilis 'to.

Okay na ba na time allowance yun? haha natakot ako bigla baka maiwan ng airplane!

[kaiz]

^kaya naman yan sis pero medyo kakabahan ka pa rin sa ganyang time hehe

[gardenbelle]

amazing race diba!! Nakakatakot kasi may nabasa kong blog na parang nadelay yung mga boats nila mahirap pa naman magpabook ng ticket!
