Flights to Siargao: Budget Guide
Siargao is the Philippines' surf capital — Cloud 9 is the headliner, but the real draw is island-hopping through three islands connected by boat. Daily budget runs $38–50, and you fly in via Manila or Cebu.
30-day Siargao budget
At $38–50/day, Siargao is mid-range for the Philippines. Dorms run $12, street meals $3.50, and the signature island-hopping tour (Naked Island, Daku, Guyam) costs $25–30 including lunch. Motorbike rental is $7/day — non-negotiable for getting around.
Flights to Siargao from your city
Fly to Sayak Airport (IAO) via Cebu Pacific from Manila or Cebu — fares run $50–100 one-way if you book early. Flights sell out in peak season, so book 3–4 weeks ahead. Philippine Airlines also runs the route but costs more.

March through October delivers the best surf — Cloud 9 fires consistently. November through January is monsoon transition: fewer surfers, 15–20% cheaper flights, and the waves still show up between squalls.
Sayak Airport (IAO) to General Luna (where all the hostels are) is a 30-minute tricycle ride for $2. Some hostels offer free pickup — message ahead. The airport is tiny; don't expect lounges or fast food.
