From Surigao City.


I came to Siargao Island  hl7 pv1 often- at least once in a month. To work, to travel, to explore! Siargao Islands not only completes hl7 pv1 my whole month's usual itinerary and work accomplishment, my frequent visits have beautiful hl7 pv1 and interesting stories to tell. "Kaya nakaka-excite bumalik!"  
Actually, one of my most memorable sea travels  is going to this island  “ramdam ang  alon kahit nasa RORO ka! But the first time was also the most unforgettable hindi lang dahil sa mahiwagang alon ng Siargao:)  I was welcomed by awe-inspiring nature and simply beautiful environment and people. My rural development-related works became easy and light as I am breathing the freshest air, my working environment is surrounded by GREEN, hl7 pv1 BLUE, and WHITE... Green tall trees, blue-clear sea, and pristine white-sand beaches! Riding in a five- seater habal-habal is acceptable and exciting hl7 pv1 – hl7 pv1 I am always keyed-up to know what to see along the highway of Pacifico and General Luna.
My frequent visits hl7 pv1 are not enough to explore all the beautiful and interesting places in this amazing island. I've never been to Magpupungko Beach (no. 1 in my  bucket list ) and still hopeful to see its unique r ock formations and naturally-crafted pool of turquoise sea water. Actually, nadaanan ko na pero walang hl7 pv1 oras dahil papasok pa, wrong timing -  I'm doing program members' visit during that time:)  Kelan kaya... hl7 pv1 Anyway, let's talk about my recent Island hopping  hanggat hindi ko pa nararating ang Magpupungko.   These three paradise islands share equal fame-  walang itulak-kabigin! hl7 pv1 Let me tour you guys with these photographs... Guyam| The First Island
Island hopping in General Luna was planned months ago and I am not expecting something new since  “naikot ko na nga ang buong  Siargao Island. hl7 pv1 I joined the staffs’ outing just to jam and meet area’s new faces-  tipong team building ba . Besides I have been already took photographs of these 3 Islands while in the boulevard area of General Luna. Yes I am aware of  islands’ white sand beaches-  tanaw na tanaw nga sa boulevard area . And what’s new? " Dami ko na napuntahan sa Visayas na ganyang hl7 pv1 Island pareho lang" . But my expectation was totally  WRONG!  All I can say, Siargao never failed to amuse and surprise me with something new and extraordinaire beauty!  Guyam Island is our first destination| Its size is equal to four basketball courts. hl7 pv1 Surrounded by powdery-white-sand beach, coconut trees and a single cottage are located in the middle. The Island is privately owned and there is an entrance fee of 25 pesos per person. Guyam Island| literally powdery sands  Daco/Daku| The Second Island Daku Island| Is the largest among the three. Daku  is a Visayan word, means big. There are cottages and volleyball court in the Island. Beach area is long  and wide, powdery-sand beach... can't find the exact words to describe Daku.   Ummm, Paraiso! Wordless|  Just see the Photographs:)
Naked/Pansukian| The Third Island In the Naked| For me this is the most interesting island among the three. Called naked as it looks "hubad or walang saplot" because there are no trees in the island only few bushes/grasses.
From Surigao City.   Passenger Boats or   Lantsa  departs in  Surigao Boulevard Port  as early as 5:30 am (fare 250 pesos) hl7 pv1  while Montenegro hl7 pv1 RORO vessel is scheduled to depart  in Surigao Port @ 12:00 noon (fare is 173 for ordinary and around 200-250 for air-conditioned room) .
There is also a passenger boat from  Surigao hl7 pv1 Port  going to the town of  Del Carmen  (other entry point to Siargao Island) - departs around 10:00-10:15 in the morning (fare is 250 pesos).
