Your             Guide to Siargao

Ultimate

Siargao

Known as the surfing capital of the Philippines, Siargao attracts a mix of locals and internationals, which lends to its relaxed but buzzy, creative energy.

General Luna is the main hub of the island, where our wedding festivities will take place. Just a 30-minute drive from the Siargao airport, General Luna is lined with shops, restaurants, hotels, bars, surf schools, and beautiful beaches.

Throughout the weekend, we hope you can experience Siargao’s diverse community and next-level hospitality, food, surf, and creative scene.

Things to

do

  • Experience world-renowned surf breaks at Cloud 9, suitable for all skill levels.

    For more beginner-friendly waves, check out Jacking Horse Beach where instructors are readily available to offer lessons.

    Pro Tip: more experienced surfers can surf in surf breaks in Barangay Santa Fe in General Luna as well as those in the north of Siargao such us in Pacifico in San Isidro and Tangbo in the municipality of Santa Monica.

    Book your Surf Lessons at Harana Surf School. Look for Kuya Wilmar Melindo.

    You may also book Sally and his team at +63 908 710 3809. They can serve as your Personal Local surf and tour guides and they can even take you to secret surf spots around the island.
