SIARGAO Is it really the next Bali? AN ISLAND TOUR

Many suggest that #SIARGAO island in the #philippines is placed to be the next BALI in terms of beauty, popularity and tourism. I'm not so sure. What do you think? Lets do a tour of the island including all the most popular tourist spots: CLOUD 9 SURFING, COCONUT VIEW DECK, MAGPUPUNGKO ROCK POOLS, TRI-ISLAND TOUR and SUNSET BRIDGE

Bali is Bali, it's famous for thousands of temples and it's distinctive culture, and also ultra consistency for it's surfing waves. For beaches and surfing waves Mentawais is waaay more worthy to be the so called "next Bali":

​@@ItsPaulsDayOfficialMy pleasure man, someone need to stop this false expectation, imagine how do you feel if you come from far away places, paid big extra money for your boards only to be dissapointed that what you are looking for is not actually there in the first place. Uluwatu Bali is hard to beat in term as surf destination in region, not only for it's potential size, but especially for it's consistency that fall into ultra consistent category (99% surfable condition vs below 60% at best in siargao), while on the other hand Mentawai islands is long known & recognized as one of the most waves rich area in the world, in fact there's so many amazing waves there that would make cloud 9 will find it hard get into top 10 waves in Mentawai islands, from Hollow trees, Bankvaults, No Kandui, Rifles, Greenbush, Telescopes and so many others. And it is a very sad reality some of Filipinos with their limited knowledge about Indo start to mocking Bali for their end's favor. If only they knew how massively overhyped cloud 9 is compared to surfspots in Indo, they wouldn't even dare to try to do that. Honorable mention: Lagundri Bay of Nias, Asu & hinako islands, Telo islands, Banyak islands, Mandiri beach krui (this one is special, it is sand bottom but still could barreling bigger and longer than cloud 9). Just my 2 cents. Cheers
