A GAZEBO OF JOURNEYS AND RANDOM THOUGHTS OF AN AMATEUR PHOTOGRAPHER AND WRITER. Life is a series of pictures. Some blurred, others vivid and sharp; some are panoramic while others are close-up views with tiny little flaws. You may be taken by a luxurious DSLR camera or a plain Point and Shoot Cam, but in the end, when all of the films are used up and all batteries empty, people all have one thing in common: what we leave are footprints in the sand, pictures in the album, and flashes of memories.

SIARGAO ISLAND HOPPING

Siargao Island does not only take pride in being the surfing capital of the Phillippines --- for tiny little islands with white sand lie amidst the Pacific ocean. Surfers and non-surfers alike would never say "no" to Siargao's Island Hopping adventure.

For only php1,500 for the whole trip, we couldn't say 'NO' too!

so we hopped in with Kuya Lito (our very welcoming tour guide) and headed off to these 3 islets...

NAKED ISLAND

as the name implies, the islet is "naked" --- no trees, grass, cottages or anything! Just the island amidst the clear blue sea.

Naked Island, Siargao, Surigao del Norte


GUYAM ISLAND

I don't actually know what "guyam" means, but this 150-meter islet is unique for its rocky formations encapsulating the white-sand and trees at the center.
This privately owned islet has an entrance fee of  Php10 and has cottages that you could rent at Php 100 to stay for the whole day or overnight.

DAKU ISLAND

"Daku" in Bisaya means huge or big since this is the biggest among the 3 islets. This inhabited island has lots of cottages that can be rented for php100-250 for the day. If you opt for having lunch there, don't forget to drop by the market on the mainland before heading off to island hopping as cooking services for Php200 are offered by the inhabitants of Daku Island.
