My Summer Escapade at one of the International Surfing Destination in Siargao

[April 2012, Siargao, Philippines]


I just got lucky I was able to get another chance to explore one of the beautiful places that my country had so I am sharing this experience here.

I have to travel by AIR (experienced turbulence up there), by LAND (which includes long trip by bus, jeep and motorcycles with all those rough and bumpy roads) and by WATER (with all the waves lulling us to dizziness) just to reach the place.  With all those obstacles that I have encountered not to mention how I got problems with the initial transportation because of nearly fully booked reservations, I am still grateful I was able to experience this one of a kind adventure in my life. 

The first stop was in Magpupungko beach, it is located at Pilar, Siargao Island, Surigao. It's several kilometers away from the port in Dapa. This beach is very clean, white sand and waves are quite bigger and stronger over the other beaches which I have visited. It has a very nice lagoon that seems like a swimming pool inside the sea.

The next stop over was in Cloud 9 Beach resort. It is among of the top 10 best surfing destination all around the globe. Unfortunately, when we went there (April 2012) the waves were not as gigantic as during in September to October seasons. So if you want to catch those waves, visit there around those months.

Siargao is composed of few islands. For our last trip, we went to Guyam Island as our choice.
