Map of Siargao Island and the places we drive and sail toAccurate map of Siargao Island in Surigao del Norte, Philippines. Sayak Airport sits inland in Del Carmen on the west of the island, with Del Carmen town north-west of it and Sugba Lagoon out among the Del Carmen mangroves. Dapa Port is on the south coast, General Luna and Cloud 9 on the south-east coast, Magpupungko on the east coast at Pilar, and Pacifico, Burgos and Santa Monica on the north-east coast. The lines trace the island roads between them. Bucas Grande, the separate island south-west of Siargao where Sohoton Cove is, is shown below.PHILIPPINE SEASIARGAOBUCAS GRANDESayak Airport (IAO) to General LunaDapa Port to General LunaDel Carmen to Sayak Airport (IAO)General Luna to Cloud 9General Luna to MagpupungkoGeneral Luna to Del CarmenSayak Airport (IAO) to PacificoDapa Port to PacificoPacifico to BurgosDapa Port to Del CarmenDel Carmen to PilarDapa Port to PilarBurgos to Santa MonicaNSayak Airport (IAO)Dapa PortDel CarmenGeneral LunaCloud 9MagpupungkoPilarPacificoBurgosSanta MonicaSugba LagoonSohoton CoveNaked, Daku & GuyamMaasin River

Where everything is on the island

Siargao is one island with one road network. Sayak Airport sits inland in Del Carmen on the west side, and almost every arrival crosses to General Luna in the south-east; Dapa Port, on the south coast, is the sea-arrival counterpart. The lines are real island roads, and the published route guides below now cover both arrival gateways as well as the longest north-end runs.

  • Reached by boatno road goes to Sugba Lagoon or Sohoton Cove — both need a boat leg planned in
  • Island roadshover or tap a line, a marker or a route card to trace it

Coastlines and marker positions are drawn from official Philippine boundary data; the roads follow OpenStreetMap. Both are projected into the page at build time, so no map service is loaded when you view it — see credits.
