Sayak Airport (IAO) to Pacifico, Burgos or Santa Monica
The long north-end transfer from the airport to Pacifico, Burgos or Santa Monica, where naming the exact town matters before you land.
The long end of the island
Sayak Airport is in Del Carmen, on the west side of Siargao. Pacifico, Burgos and Santa Monica sit up at the north end, so this is one of the longest road transfers on the island — the journey where having a vehicle arranged before you land matters most, because there is no second airport and fewer options once you are at that end.
Three distinct north-end drop-offs
Pacifico Beach is in the municipality of San Isidro and is known for its surf break, while Burgos and Santa Monica are separate municipalities further north. Tell us which town you actually need — or, better, the accommodation name — so the quote covers the right last leg instead of a vague “north end” transfer.
What to send for a useful quote
Your flight number and date, how many of you are travelling, how many bags and boards, and the name of your accommodation in Pacifico, Burgos or Santa Monica. Boards matter on a surf trip, so tell us how many and what length and we will send the right vehicle rather than the smallest one.
Why there is no price or journey time here
We would rather publish nothing than publish a number we cannot stand behind. Roads, weather and group size all move the answer. Send the trip and we will send a fixed, all-in price for your date.
