What to Do in General Luna?
The Best of Siargao

General Luna is the village at the heart of Siargao. This is where the best restaurants, beachside bars, scooter rentals and tour operators are based. Here's our local selection to make the most of it.

Getting around General Luna

The scooter is the king of transport in Siargao. Rental runs between ₱400 and ₱600 per day. Local tuktuks and tricycles also cover the village. From Sweet Paradise Villa, all spots and restaurants are walkable or less than 5 minutes by scooter.

Must-do activities

🏄 Surfing

From Cloud 9 to Jacking Horse and Stimpy's, the island has spots for every level. Go early morning for optimal conditions and fewer people in the water.

🚤 Island Hopping

The classic Siargao day trip: a bangka (traditional Filipino boat) tour of Naked Island, Daku Island and Guyam Island. Expect ₱1,500–₱2,500 per person. Negotiate directly at the port in the morning.

🌊 Sugba Lagoon

45 minutes north of General Luna by boat, Sugba is one of the Philippines' most beautiful lagoons — turquoise waters, wooden diving platform, paddleboard. Book early as the site limits daily visitors.

🛺 Scooter tour of the island

The road around Siargao is one of the Philippines' most beautiful two-wheel rides. Head to Pacifico in the north for waves, Santa Monica for mangroves, and finish at Del Carmen for a sunset. Allow a full day.
