Siargao is a small island. The best way to get around is to rent a motorbike and discover what the island has to offer. If you are traveling with a family, it’s very easy as well to get around with a tuktuk. It’s a must to have cash with you as most of the restaurants are on a cash basis. If you really want to chill and relax, I suggest spending 4 to 5 nights in Siargao, without rushing. This is the perfect time to stay, especially for a first visit. Finally, there are many small hotels, including the ones mentioned above, where some of the restaurants are. So, finding your place to stay won’t be a problem—there are options for all types of budgets.
