Philippines is such a unique, peaceful and diverse country, full of friendly warmhearted people and delicious food, the country where adventure and exploration never ends.
This was a great video Joel! Very informative and brilliant cinematography. I'm moving to Manila next month from the UK and will definitely spend some time in Siargao after watching this. Thanks!
Went went to siargao around the same time you was there but we left after 48hrs as the weather was awful & we had some bad experiences. But we cannot wait to go back when the weather is better, everyone says good things about the island 💭
So delighted to see the blooming paradise of Siargao i would say. We Filipino are very proud to have this nature. If you really wants to have an aventure and relax close to mother nature visit Siargao Philippines. We actually have Virgin Island that you dont explore.
Hi bro i am a solo traveler and saw ur palawan and siragao amazing guides, im planning to visit palawan then siragao how many days u recommend me to stay in palawan and how many days in siragao as i have 10 days for both
Hey Joel,thank you for video..I am planning to visit Philippines for the first time and Siargao especially..the only thing that is bothers me is a internet ,I have a online meetings with my laptop ,how is wi-fi in the hotels?didnt you mentioned get the e SIM card ,how is that SIM card quality satisfying ?
I don't know how the island hopping in Siargao works but it's getting a bit weird because you're probably the Nth vlogger, since the Philippines reopening from lockdown, who had more than enough time to visit or explore the island but didn't vlog or feature the so called "Windows XP default desktop background", Siargao's Corregidor Island. Does the boat driver or maybe the tour guide have to be in a certain mood? Only 3 foreign vloggers have gone and featured that island this 2022 but 2 of the 3 are Siargao residents for almost 3 years now, and the 3rd just love Siargao, so they have been going there for years. But the Pamomoan and Kawhagan Islands are new and nice.
We really wanted to go to Corregidor island however we couldn’t find a tour which goes so we would have to take a private boat which would be super expensive!
Im trying to plan a trip to the Philippines but the flight there is so expensive for me and i currently have no points I just turned 18 it so beautiful.
Keep an eye out for promos. In my opinion Philippine Airlines is the better choice simply because they have really good customer support. You can actually talk to an agent on the phone if there are problems. If you fly the other major carrier (I'll leave nameless), they only have chatbots.
Joel, you mentioned the need for water shoes -- in jumping off the sharp rocks into the sea. RESORT OWNERS SHOULD TAKE NOTE -- and use a small sledgehammer to FLATTEN most of the POINTED TIPS of the rocks -- to make rock surfaces a bit smoother to step on. This will make rock-jumping safer and more enjoyable for a lot of tourists.
I’m from Siargao but I am here in New Zealand. You have pronounced Alegria incorrectly and you have made me laugh when you are pronouncing “Magpupungko” (which is just 5 km away from our home). Don’t get offended as I think most foreigners are having a hard time saying those local beach names and we already get used to it. It’s alright, I’m glad that you really enjoyed exploring Siargao, my hometown.
I came back from a week in Siargao. Beautiful island with many things to do. Correction to your video though, I have been to Raja Ampat and none of these locations come close to how epic Raja Ampat is. I suggest you see Raja Ampat in person. The island hopping tour is crazy touristy and I would personally not recommend it - its a couple islands covered in people. Also I would skip your #11 suggestion. It's a spot you can jump in a river that isn't that scenic, they only have a bamboo raft for instagram pictures only - its not functional and overrated.
Less videos of your face in your hotel room more video shots of the actual Philippines. Literally 50% of your video was just watching someone talk in a hotel room. Do better.
Yes.. long time ago siargao has no foreign tourist only local.. Its so peaceful.island and quite before but now am sad the island is already too popular. 😢 I hope the phil govt limit tourist to come there

December through mid-February is the rainy season on Siargao. The best time to visit is April through October.
Where did you stay in Siargao?
So delighted to see the blooming paradise of Siargao i would say. We Filipino are very proud to have this nature. If you really wants to have an aventure and relax close to mother nature visit Siargao Philippines. We actually have Virgin Island that you dont explore.
Cool and sweet 🥰

How was the wifi? I'm considering to work there remotely for a few weeks!
Curious to know if its very crowded and touristy?
Can you say how much it costs to stay there, like room and board for two weeks, thanks
As a surigaonon i confirm the island is off the coast!
Next Stop , Banaue Rice Terracess, Philippines
It's pronounced Shar-gao. Or Shar-go however is easiest to read haha. I lived there for a bit :)
Hey Joel,thank you for video..I am planning to visit Philippines for the first time and Siargao especially..the only thing that is bothers me is a internet ,I have a online meetings with my laptop ,how is wi-fi in the hotels?didnt you mentioned get the e SIM card ,how is that SIM card quality satisfying ?

Quick question......do you need yellow fever vaccination certificate travelling from UK to enter the Philippines?
HI!! My husband and I are currently planning our trip. We have 4 days that we can spend on Camiguin or on Siargao. What would you recommend??
go directly to siargao
I don't know how the island hopping in Siargao works but it's getting a bit weird because you're probably the Nth vlogger, since the Philippines reopening from lockdown, who had more than enough time to visit or explore the island but didn't vlog or feature the so called "Windows XP default desktop background", Siargao's Corregidor Island.

Only 3 foreign vloggers have gone and featured that island this 2022 but 2 of the 3 are Siargao residents for almost 3 years now, and the 3rd just love Siargao, so they have been going there for years.
But the Pamomoan and Kawhagan Islands are new and nice.
We really wanted to go to Corregidor island however we couldn’t find a tour which goes so we would have to take a private boat which would be super expensive!
Going there on the 28th of Feb
Ahhh how exciting!!
@@Joelfriend ya I sailed my boat their in 2015 always wanted to go back. I was sailing Philippines for 4 months was awesome. Cheers
There are a pink species of small jelly fish that doesn’t sting too.
Im trying to plan a trip to the Philippines but the flight there is so expensive for me and i currently have no points I just turned 18 it so beautiful.
Take your time.. the Philippines will still be around when you grow old..😂
@@evelitaolegario3922 life is so fragile I don't wanna sit around and miss my opportunity to see things but yeah Ik the country will always been there
Keep an eye out for promos. In my opinion Philippine Airlines is the better choice simply because they have really good customer support. You can actually talk to an agent on the phone if there are problems. If you fly the other major carrier (I'll leave nameless), they only have chatbots.
Is there anybody else who can say something more about the cheaper tour to get to sugba lagoon
Is it okay to go here in march ?
Yes, peak dry season
Joel, you mentioned the need for water shoes -- in jumping off the sharp rocks into the sea. RESORT OWNERS SHOULD TAKE NOTE -- and use a small sledgehammer to FLATTEN most of the POINTED TIPS of the rocks -- to make rock surfaces a bit smoother to step on. This will make rock-jumping safer and more enjoyable for a lot of tourists.
Leave natural features alone
No, they should not move or do anything to the rocks. Leave them be and let the tourists visit at their own risk.
11:06 lol
You Pronounce it (sir-gaw). Easiest way.
when is the best time to visit philippines?
If you're after the beaches, Feb- May are your the safest bet. clear weather and blue skies. Rainy season starts at June end could last until dec
@@MrWackydoodles This period is also the warmest perhaps around 30-35 degrees celcius on average? Could be higher
@@chipirl2041 yes perfect for skinnydipping
Is it okay to hire motorcycles without drivers license?
Well obviously not
Did you guys ever get any travel vaccines Japanese encephalitis, rabies etc for any of your travelling? :)
how about the w$$ed there?
Kermit is owned by an Italian guy

Pronounce the island name correctly... its not sharigao, its shargao.
Seems like a lot of money to spend.
Oh yes but just responsible for all the garbage

If you don't want this place to be destroyed by mass tourism, why do you make a video about it?
Yes.. long time ago siargao has no foreign tourist only local.. Its so peaceful.island and quite before but now am sad the island is already too popular. 😢 I hope the phil govt limit tourist to come there
