"Luxurious SEAcation experience"

We chartered the private seacation catamaran and had a luxurious 5 star experience. While the boat can hold larger parties, it was the perfect size and configuration for our group of four. The staff tended to our every need. The captain, tour guides, staff and caterer were professional and accommodating with an eye for detail. Mhamar curated a sailing tour that was private and truly catered to our liking. Ms. Rose on many occasions tended to the 8 year old child in our group which I found impressive.

There was a smaller boat that took us from the catamaran to shore on certain stops rather than having to swim or kayak to like other tours. For those stops that motorized boats were not allowed, the staff would row us in kayaks and provided information about the location. In my opinion, there is no other way to travel by sea while in El Nido. I would definitely book again.

"Embracing the serenity of the ocean on this luxury yacht"

What a great Experience Elnido Yatchting Club . Awake to the gentle rocking of the yacht and the aroma of a delicious breakfast prepared by the crews. You'll explore the glamorous islands of El Nido and of course renowned for its chic resorts . The crew will prepare a sumptuous beachside instagramable foods for a truly unforgettable dining experience. As the sun sets, We're enjoying a cocktail under the starlit sky, taking in the serenity of the secluded island. 

"The best boat day in El Nido"

This was the highlight of my trip!! I am so glad I booked it and would 100% do it again, next time I'm in El Nido. The crew is so accommodating and knowledgable. They will absolutely ensure you enjoy your day to the fullest. Amazing snorkeling locations, privates beaches, island hopping, THE BEST lunch, kayaking at the big lagoon, not to mention the luxurious Lagoon 445, just an incredible catamaran, top notch. Plus our tour guide Mark made sure to take the best photos for us. 10/10 this crew was so kind and so helpful. Thank you to Ms. Trixie and our captain and the whole crew. We couldn't have imagined a better day.

- Stephanie L

"Fantastic private catamaran day"

We had a fantastic day with some variable weather on the private seacation catamaran. Our host, Mark went above and beyond for group photos and adapting to different conditions. The crew was nimble, extremely accommodating and provided great service. The food was fantastic! We thank the entire El Nido Yacht Club team for making a special memory for our family. I would highly recommend!

"Perfect day trip"

SUCH AN AMAZING DAY! The catamaran is fantastic & staff is the most hospitable! We went to 2 regular public islands and then lunch on the private star island! It was magical as we were the only ones there. Lunch was fantastic, grilled chicken & fish, great rice & veggies. Fruit and dessert. We jumped off the boat a few times & they have booze to purchase on the boat as well. Thank you for a wonderful time!

What Choose

Sailing boat or Catamaran, what to sail in El Nido

Choosing between a sailing boat and a catamaran for your El Nido adventure with Yachting.Rent? Let us guide you through the key differences to ensure you pick the perfect vessel for your needs.

Sailing boats, traditional yet timeless, are the classic choice for the true sailor at heart. They offer an authentic sailing experience, where you can feel the wind in your sails and the gentle roll of the ocean. Sailing boats typically have a monohull, providing a thrilling sensation of cutting through the waters at a tilt. They are generally designed for speed and performance, perfect for those who enjoy the exhilaration of wind-powered navigation.

Catamarans, on the other hand, are known for their stability, spaciousness, and comfort. With twin hulls, catamarans ensure a smoother and more balanced ride, ideal for those prone to seasickness or families with young children. Their large deck area and indoor space provide ample room for relaxation, making them suitable for larger groups or those planning a leisurely cruise. Additionally, their shallow draft makes them perfect for anchoring close to El Nido’s many beautiful beaches and exploring its stunning lagoons.

At Yachting.Rent, we offer both sailing boats and catamarans, each impeccably maintained and equipped with all the modern amenities for your comfort and safety. Whether you prefer the thrill of a sailing boat or the comfort of a catamaran, we can provide a bespoke sailing experience tailored to your preferences. Set sail on your El Nido adventure with Yachting.Rent, and let the spirit of the sea guide you.

Recent reviews in el nido.

April, 2024

Alan and Maria were a great team to show us El Nido and the lovely islands surrounding. The bays are prestine and the beaches gorgeous. More importantly, very excluded from crowds and tourists. This gave the experience an dimension of paradise to Robin and myself. We snorkeled, used the dingy every now and then, trew the rope behind the boat to carry us through the ocean and slept on deck in the trampolines. The shooting stars and small satellites were incredible to see them so clear. Thanks again Alan and Maria. Hopefully we see each other again someday and somewhere! Cheers, Robin and Robin

March, 2024

Sylvain provided us with a perfect vacation experience. We relaxed, sailed, snorkeled, swam, ate well and got to see the most beautiful islands without the crowds. Sylvain took us to the remote less traveled and stunning islands. We spent 2 nights, but I understand he does day trips too. We wished it wouldn’t end, he was super flexible in getting us to a tattoo appointment the second night on tim. He is chill, accommodating and interesting but most importantly a very competent sailor. When back in El Nido we will return to do it again with him. Alan & Albert NYC

February, 2024

We joined Alan and Maria with our one-year-old baby. They were so accommodating and really made us feel comfortable. Maria (the boat) is beautiful and so expertly piloted by Alan. I wish we could have stayed with them forever. Thanks again. Sam, Cat & Jack

October, 2023

We had an absolutely PERFECT trip. 4days/3 nights sailing in Philippines.We could not have imagined anything better. Captain Alan was amazing. He was professional, made us feel safe. He was flexible and adjusted itinerary based on our requests. We did everything on our list and more. He made extra efforts to make sure we were having a great time and to get us to destinations so we could enjoy! Thank you Alan for memorable experience!

We had an astonishing time sailing with Alan in his spectacular boat. A very caring and friendly captain, he made us feel safe, welcome and at home. His boat, Maria is impressive! It had everything we needed for a comfortable and enjoyable sailing experience. We would definitely sail with him again in a heartbeat!

September, 2021

Our family of 3 had a great overnight sailing adventure with Alan and Maria. They were awesome hosts and we learnt a lot from both of them about sailing and boat life. Highly recommended for adventurous and laid back group of friends, couples and families who are looking for a fun and chilled (weather permitting!) time on a catamaran.

The Best Private Boat Tour in El Nido, Palawan

Home > Philippines

Booking a private boat tour in El Nido is the ultimate way to go if you want to experience Palawan in the Philippines without the hoards of tourists. So if exploring limestone islands, lying on an empty sandy beach, snorkelling among neon-coloured fish and colorful reefs is your idea of fun, then this is the post for you! Doing a private tour gives you the opportunity to customize the tour to your favorite places and arrive to them before the super-packed tourist boats arrive.

Boat Tours in El Nido

Before I start explaining how we booked our private boat tour in El Nido, I will share with you which tours are usually offered in El Nido. You can choose between 4 different tours. Each will have 4-6 destinations. Usually, the most popular tours are A and C. Due to their popularity, you will see a lot of people there at the same time. If I were on a limited budget, I’d choose tour B and try to see both Entalula Island and Pinagbuyutan Island. They were also our choice on the private tour and the highlight of our trip to El Nido.

• Tour A:  Big Lagoon, Secret Lagoon, Shimizu Island, and 7 Commando Beach
• Tour B: Cudognon Cave, Cathedral Cave, Snake Island, Entalula Island (or Pinagbuyutan Island), and Popolkan Island
• Tour C:  Secret Beach, Hidden Beach, Matinloc Shrine, Tapiutan Island, and Helicopter Island
• Tour D:  Small Lagoon, Cadlao Lagoon, Nat Nat Beach, Pasandigan Cove, Paradise Beach, and Bukal Island

The best private boat tour in El Nido

We spent about half a day trying to find a place that offers private, customized tours. It was already late and as didn’t find anything to fit our wishes, we decided to head for dinner at Frendz Hostel. On our way there we saw a small tourist office right next door. Figuring, if it’s next to the hostel so it must be quite popular, so we walked in asked about private tours.

To our surprise, we got a great offer for 8,000 PHP boat coast, no matter how many people we are. With this cost, you can also choose 5 destinations to visit from any tour – as long as they are not too far apart (see map above to have an idea of choices). And as our luck was on a roll, the next day we also found a great couple to share the boat with! This then came to 2,000 PHP per person.

While I don’t have the name for the agency we booked with and it’s not on Google Maps, here is how you can find them. Go to Frendz Hostel and on the left side of it, you’ll see the place. Here are the photos of what it looks like from the outside. The photos are not the best quality since I never expected to use them, but hopefully, it helps!

Best time to visit El Nido, Palawan

This island is warm all year round and it’s best to travel here between November and May. While the highest temperatures are in April and May, they are also the driest months. We were there in April and while it was quite hot, it was bearable. Read more on best times to visit the Philippines in general here .

1. Pinagbuyutan Island

The first stop was truly the best way to kick-start our private boat tour in El Nido. When we arrived, we couldn’t believe that we had this huge sandy beach and copious amounts of palm trees all to ourselves. Pinagbuyutan Island is absolutely stunning and the huge limestone cliffs make it very unique as well. We were the only boat on the entire island and we really took advantage of that!

2. Snake Island

Snake Island is essentially a long sandbank, shaped like a snake. The sandbank connects the island to the mainland. It’s very popular to take a walk in the sea and swim here, but beware – due to it’s unique look it tends to be quite popular!

3. Entalula Island

Arriving on this island was an absolute dream. This is where our lunch was served and it really couldn’t be more perfect! We spend about 1,5 hours here and a max of 2 boats parked there at the same time! We ate, swam, sunbathe, and hung out. This island is usually part of tour B and just as we were leaving the location, about 10 boats, with around 30 people in each, arrived. Wow, we were very happy to be leaving and can’t even imagine how crowded that tiny beach was afterward. Yet another advantage to the private tour!

4. Shimizu Island

Originally we chose to see the Cathedral Cave as our fourth stop, but the crew told us that at this time of the year there are dangerous sea snakes swimming there, so they recommended we go to another place. So then the fourth stop was Shimizu Island. We spent the entire time snorkeling here and absolutely loved it! The visibility was perfect, the reef was colorful and there were so many interesting fish to follow around.

5. 7 Commando Beach

Our last, and least favorite stop on our private boat tour in El Nido was the famous 7 commando beach. This is also the last stop for tour A, so we definitely didn’t get to experience the peace and quiet of previous islands. It was loud, crowded and at least 30 boats were blocking the shore. We wanted to snorkel, but the boats kept coming in and out and we really didn’t feel like having an accident. So we decided to walk a little lower down the beach by the beach-volley place, to sunbathe. This is the only place we would skip. However, if you like a lively island party to end your private tour with, then you’re in for a treat!

Disclaimer:

Combination and party boat tours are currently forbidden in El Nido. This new policy has been implemented to help minimize the negative impact of tourism in El Nido. These attempts are made to limit the number of tourists visiting El Nido’s most popular destinations (Big Lagoon, Small Lagoon, Secret Beach). You will find that there are still tour offices going around this rule though.

I can't remember what time we started, but the law is the same for everyone and they don't allow to start tours earlier (except for some very special trips). The difference was that we went to those further away first, so we managed to get there before the bigger groups arrive. And that is only possible with a private tour :) Hope it helps!

At Borrow A Boat we're on a mission to make boating more accessible and to make it easier for you to get on the water. We believe boating should be available to everyone, and we can help the boating industry, boat owners, marinas, and everyone who wants to go boating by providing a 21st-century boating marketplace. Borrow A Boat is the best place to find and rent boats of all sorts, from a canal and riverboat across Europe to a sailing boat, motor boat, catamaran across North America, the Mediterranean, Caribbean and further afield, along with some of the world's most impressive superyachts and luxury yacht charters.

Boats or Yachts Available For Rent Or Charter In El Nido

Where it comes to chartering or renting boats in El Nido below is a list of the typical types of boats that you can hire on Borrow A Boat with a description of the boat type. If you can't find the individual boat charter you are looking for when you do a search in El Nido it's worthwhile searching nearby locations as your chosen boat type might be available nearby.

When searching a geographical area on Borrow A Boat you can filter by the below boat types. There is also the option to further filter your searches by price, the number of guests, cabins or bathrooms, what year the boat or sailing yacht was launched, the boat length and the boat manufacturer.

Sailing Yacht (Sailboat): From €120/£100/$135 a day up to whatever you can afford, monohull sailing yachts are fun to sail at all points of the wind and an affordable way to get around if your island hopping or finding your own secluded coves or sandy beaches along with longer cruises. Sizes range from those for a couple or small family to a full sized luxury charter yacht.

Catamaran: Luxury catamarans are stable and spacious, with quick sailing performance, and and have been gaining in popularity in recent years. Better for larger groups, they have lots of room for water toys, and are big enough for a little privacy. A catamaran charter is easy and comfortable for novices not used to heeling and are loved by families due to their extra space when compared to a monohull. Typically far more luxurious than a sailboat the larger catamarans have en suite toilets and showers in the staterooms as well as ample entertaining space in the saloon and on deck.

Power Catamaran: These types of boats are relatively new but have also been gaining in popularity as the two hulls keep the boat more stable when compared to a monohull. The wider beam also means more deck space and as they don't have sails or a mast, they have a lot more space on deck than a sailing catamaran rental or monohull. For a luxury catamaran charter, consider taking a crewed catamaran charter sailing vacation with an experienced skipper.

Luxury Yacht: Luxury yacht charters are available for either a sailing yacht (sailboat), catamaran or motorboat and will have a crew and host/hostess on hand to cater for whatever your needs are along with a skipper who will have a detailed knowledge of your cruising area. On a crewed yacht charter of this kind you get to create your own personal itinerary and will have far greater range than on other boats which allows for lots of variety in how you travel and what you do.

Superyacht: A superyacht or sometimes called mega yacht are boats which are least 24 metres (79 feet) in length up to 180 metres (590 feet) and can either be sailing yachts (sailboats) or motorboats. These types of boats are most frequently found in the Med of Caribbean and due to their size they will have a large chartering area and can typically pick you up from whatever location you require rather than you being required to get to a set marina to start your charter. They are fully crewed with professional staff who will cater for your every need along with a skipper who will have extensive knowledge of your chosen cruising areas.

Motorboat: This covers a wide variety of boats from a motor yacht with cabins to a private boat trip for a fishing trip but all of the these are comfortable seagoing boats with a kick of speed should you want to cover a bigger distance on the day.​

RIB: Very much day boats for fishing and day cruising, RIBs are a lot of fun for a day afloat. They can be very quick and are great should you be in a town on holiday and fancy seeing the coast or finding secluded sandy beaches to get away from it all.

Skippered Yacht Charter or Bareboat

When it comes to boat hire or yacht charter in El Nido you typically have two choices - bareboat yacht hire or skippered yacht charter.

When using Borrow A Boat you can filter all boat searches to be with or without skipper depending on what you are looking for and below we cover some of the main points to consider for your boat hire.

Skippered Charter: A skippered yacht charter gives you the advantage of being able to get afloat without having to invest in getting sailing qualifications before hand. For a monohull sailing yacht you will pay €120/£100/$135 plus a day extra for the skipper, as well as their food and a tip at the end.

When you get to a luxury yacht or superyacht charter with crew these prices will increase and costs also depend on where you plan to sail to along with the size and type of boat rental on your sailing holiday.

In some cases skippers will also be the yacht or boat owners (typically day trips) which means they will know all the best secluded beaches to show you the best that the area has to offer with their local knowledge.

For day trips you will often be able to use a skipper as well and prices will vary depending on the type of boat.

Bareboat Yacht Charter: For skilled sailors, a bareboat charter is cheaper and gives more privacy for you and your charter guests. Many sailors prefer to be helming the boat while choosing their own course, and provided you have the knowledge and relevant qualifications you can skipper these boats (typically up to 54 feet/16.5 metres in length) yourself.

Do You Need A Licence To Charter A Yacht In El Nido

If you are on a gulet or skippered yacht charter you do not need a license to sail a yacht out of El Nido. This is also the case where you are renting a small motorboat without a cabin for a day trip around the local islands or beaches.

You do need a license if you are on a bareboat yacht charter, here are some examples of sailing qualifications:

International Certificate of Competence: This is issued on request by your European sailing authority and you should automatically qualify with certain national sailing qualifications.

RYA Qualifications: If you have the following qualifications you will be able to take a bareboat charter out of El Nido, these include Day Skipper (sail or motor endorsement), Coastal Skipper or Yachtmaster.

American Sailing Association (ASA): The ASA 104 Bareboat certificate is commonly accepted.

Frequently Asked Questions

When is the best time to visit palawan.

If you’re planning to soak up the sun and enjoy the beaches, the perfect time to visit Palawan is between October and May. This period brings lots of sunshine, making it ideal for exploring the islands, snorkeling in the clear waters, and lounging on the sandy beaches. The sea is also calmer during these months, which is great for boat trips to those secluded lagoons. Try to avoid the rainy season from June to September, as frequent showers might put a damper on outdoor activities.

How do I get around Palawan?

Getting around in Palawan can be quite an adventure! If you’re landing in Puerto Princesa, which most travelers do, you’ll find a variety of vans and buses ready to whisk you to popular spots like El Nido or the quieter Sabang. For a faster option, direct flights to El Nido are available and save a lot of travel time. Once you’re in the coastal areas, the best way to hop between islands is by boat, which you can easily rent from the locals. And if you want the freedom to explore on your own, renting a motorcycle or scooter lets you enjoy the scenery at your own pace, especially on the less traveled paths.

What cultural norms should I be aware of?

Palawan is rich in culture with a diverse mix of indigenous communities. When visiting, it’s important to dress modestly and act respectfully, especially when you’re in rural or sacred areas. Always remember to ask for permission before taking photos of people or private property—it’s not just polite, it also shows your respect for their privacy. Picking up a few phrases in Tagalog or the local dialects can also help you connect more deeply with the locals. Palawan is also very focused on environmental conservation, so please do your part by avoiding plastic when possible and respecting wildlife and natural landscapes. Your considerate behavior helps ensure that Palawan remains beautiful and vibrant for future visitors.

Siargao Budget: 3 Days for Only PHP6500 at the Surfing Capital of the Philippines

Siargao Budget Package: Hotel and Airport Transfers Included

Stress-free arrival with included roundtrip airport transfers, cozy accommodation at himaya siargao, close proximity to surf spots and other attractions, things to do in siargao on a budget, siargao island hopping tour, siargao motorcycle rental and tuktuk tour, sugba lagoon tour, surfing lessons in siargao.

Siargao, the Surfing Capital of the Philippines, is not only known for its world-class waves but also for its stunning white sand beaches, crystal-clear waters, and laid-back island vibe. I've been lucky enough to experience the best of Siargao tourist spots firsthand! I loved riding the waves at Cloud 9, one of the top surfing spots in the Philippines , and swimming in the beautiful, clear waters of Sugba Lagoon. I also remember getting lost (in a good way!) exploring the hidden caves near Magpupungko Rock Pools. 

Siargao's popularity might make you think a vacation here is too expensive. Limited flights to Siargao per day and a growing tourist scene can seem daunting, but don't worry! Your Siargao trip cost can be affordable like mine.

While I usually pride myself on my DIY travel skills, this time around, I opted for a different approach. Instead of going for a Siargao DIY travel for me and my friends, I began to research carefully for packages, and I stumbled upon a 3-day Siargao budget trip package on the Guide to the Philippines website.

See our popular Siargao Vacation Packages

Hassle-free 4-day budget island package to siargao with accommodations & airport transfers, 3-day relaxing budget island package to siargao with accommodations & airport transfers, 5-day stress-free budget surfing package to siargao with accommodations, surfing lessons & transfers.

Intrigued by the idea of a hassle-free 3 days in Siargao at a surprisingly cheap cost, I decided to try their package. The price was surprisingly reasonable, especially considering what was included, such as accommodations and roundtrip airport transfers. Plus, the idea of having everything pre-arranged and not having to worry about logistics on vacation is a win in my book. 

And let me tell you, it was the perfect decision for our group trip! In this article, I'll give you the specifics of our package and how it made our adventure smooth sailing (or should I say wave-riding?) from start to finish.

See our popular Siargao Tours and Activities

While searching for packages online, I came across an amazing offer: a 3-day Siargao package from Guide to the Philippines, priced at only PHP6,500 per head (around US$113) for our group of four. There were other Siargao travel packages to choose from on the website, but we booked this one specifically because it fits our Siargao budget, and the inclusions are also good, such as a Siargao hotel stay and roundtrip airport transfers .

One of the things I loved most about this package is the inclusion of roundtrip airport transfers. There was no scrambling for public vans or haggling after a flight; a driver was waiting at the airport to take us to the resort right away. This not only saved us time but also made sure we had a smooth transition from plane to island mode. We were able to just sit back, relax, and enjoy the stunning Siargao scenery as we made our way to the resort. 

While flights aren't included in this particular package, Guide to the Philippines offers cheap flights to Siargao from your starting point. This flexibility allowed us to choose the flight schedule that best suited our travel plans and budget. 

Private Siargao Tri Island Hopping Tour with Hotel Transfers | Guyam, Naked, Daku Islands

Siargao airport to/from any hotel in general luna | private transfers, siargao land tour to magpupungko rock pools, cloud 9, coconut mountain view & more with transfers.

For this package, we chose the comfort accommodations category and checked in at Himaya Siargao, one of the best places to stay in Siargao for groups . This laid-back resort felt like a peaceful oasis for us after a day of island adventures. The Deluxe Villa assigned to us was air-conditioned (a total lifesaver in the Siargao heat!), had a comfy double bed, and even a balcony for enjoying the fresh air. Plus, it came with a private bathroom and the basic essentials.

The best part? Himaya has one of the best restaurants in Siargao  called Tiki Hut serving Carribean-inspired dishes and some comfort  Filipino food  for breakfast. It was the perfect spot to grab a bite and just relax after a long day. We also love their island coolers and coffee!

Himaya's location is super convenient. It's close to Siargao surf spots like Cloud 9 and other attractions, mostly within 6 kilometers! It's also close to the jump-off point for Siargao island hopping tours  to attractions like Guyam and Daku. My group didn’t have to travel too far. This means more time for beach lounging and less time traveling!

Before we arrived on the lively island of Siargao, the question of "what to do in Siargao for 3 days" loomed large. Our budget-friendly package didn't include activities, so we decided to book Siargao tours separately. Thankfully, Guide to the Philippines, a website we trust, came to the rescue with a variety of options listed on their website.

We wanted to explore everything this island had to offer. Luckily, there were tons of fun activities that fit perfectly with our budget. Here's what we did on our trip:

Our first stop was Naked Island. It was exactly what it sounded like: pristine white sand and crystal-clear waters with no trees. We had enough time to swim and get a little tan before our boat brought us to Daku Island.

Daku Island is the biggest of the three. It wasn't just stunning beaches, though!  There was a small village there, and the locals, mostly fishermen, were so friendly. We chatted for a bit and learned a ton about their way of life. It’s also a lunch stopover, and we were able to experience the famous Siargao food spread that’s all over social media here. Fresh seafood, grilled meats, and sliced fruits, beautifully arranged in a banana leaf.

Guide to the Philippines made my Siargao budget trip hassle-free. You can check out their Siargao island-hopping tours page to see different island-hopping options that fit your budget and interests.

When I go on a DIY trip to Siargao, I always rent a motorcycle so I can explore Siargao at my own pace. Luckily, I was able to book a Siargao motorcycle rental as an add-on to this package. The rental included helmets, and they even delivered the bikes right to our hotel for free. It's a really affordable way to get around, especially if you're traveling with a friend and can split the cost.

They also had options to rent the motorbikes for longer than a day, which is cool if you're planning on exploring more of the island. Travel insurance wasn't included, so keep that in mind in case of anything unexpected. But all in all, adding the motorbike rental was a breeze and made exploring Siargao so much fun.

There's also the option to book a tuk-tuk tour in Siargao , which is a fun and social way to explore with a group! We booked one on our second day of vacation. The driver brought us to various attractions, including Coconut Farm View Deck, Maasin River, and Magpupungko Rock Pools.

Sugba Lagoon is a magical spot hidden away in Caob Island, just a quick boat trip from Del Carmen. It’s a beautiful lagoon with turquoise water, perfect for swimming and relaxing. There's even a wooden diving board you can jump off from for a refreshing dip! 

Due to time constraints, we weren't able to join a  Sugba Lagoon tour this time around, but it's definitely on the list for our next visit! Next time, I'm aiming to jump off the diving board at least three times!

Surfing in Siargao is a popular activity, so I had to give it a shot! I took a Siargao beginner's surf lesson , and let me tell you, it's harder than it looks. But it was so much fun learning the basics and catching a few small waves. 

There are plenty of surf schools offering lessons at different price points, so you can find one that fits your budget. You can also book a Siargao surfboard rental so you can have fun surfing on your own for 5 hours, or join a Cloud 9 tour if you prefer to surf and visit other tourist spots as well.

I also tried wakeboarding in Siargao , which shares the thrill of riding a board but with the challenge of being pulled by a cable system. The friendly staff at Siargao Wakepark took care of everything, providing a helmet, life jacket, and, of course, the all-important wakeboard. 

Being a total newbie, I opted for the main lake, a beginner's paradise at 100 meters long and 30 meters wide. There was plenty of space to practice my (somewhat wobbly at first) turns. The best part is I had an entire hour of unlimited wakeboarding! It was one of the highlights of my trip.

Have a worry-free and affordable Siargao getaway

Siargao might be known for its laid-back luxury, but budget travelers like us can have an amazing time, too! This guide hopefully gave you some ideas for cheap adventures that showcase Siargao's beauty and even finding deals on exciting activities. Thanks to one of the Siargao travel packages by Guide to the Philippines, my friends and I were able to curate the perfect itinerary to make the most of our time in this tropical paradise.  

Remember, with a little research, you can also find cheap options for where to stay in Siargao aside from the more popular  beach resorts in Siargao , whether you prefer a friendly hostel dorm or one of the cheap hotels in Siargao . Deciding where to eat in Siargao won't be a problem as well, with cheap options ranging from fresh seafood by the beach to delicious Filipino food in some restaurants.

So pack your bags, grab your sunscreen, and get ready for an unforgettable Siargao adventure on a budget!
