Siargao is famous, locally and internationally, for the cloud 9 waves; however, for those who don’t surf or are done surfing, there are other things to do. One such activity is island hopping; Daku Island is the biggest in the trio which includes Guyam and Naked Islands. Daku has fine bone-white sand, emerald waters, and swaying coconut trees — all of which make it the perfect tropical destination. It also has a barangay with friendly locals.   Read More: https://www.philippinebeaches.org/daku-island-siargao-important-tips/

It is the biggest among the three popular island destinations in Siargao (the other two are Naked and Guyam Islands). For first timers, you will be amazed by the breathtaking scenery of the island and also, for its cleanliness.

Just 20 minutes from Naked Island lies one of the most beautiful locales you will likely visit during your travels. Daku Island is a truly gorgeous sight, surrounded by crystal-clear waters and full of palms. It is highly recommended that you spend some time exploring the palm forest and even try to climb some of the trees!

Your stop on Daku Island is sure to be one of the highlights of your island-hopping tour and your trip as a whole, so make sure you take lots of pictures.

Guyam Island is part of the group of islands you’ll visit which also include Naked and Daku. Guyam Island may be small, but its picturesque beachscape, shallow waters, and tropical paradise appeal more than make up for it. Spend hours reading, lazing on the beach, or having a picnic on the island while taking a break from surfing.  Read More:  https://www.philippinebeaches.org/guyam-island-siargao-important-tips/

Guyam Island is one of the three islands located in the Surfing Capital of the Philippines, Siargao. It is one of the three popular islands that are visited in Siargao (the other two are Naked Island and Daku Island). It is just across the Patrick’s on the Beach Resort situated in the town of General Luna.

It is an islet that has a small stretch of powdery-white sand and dotted with coconut trees. It also has interesting coral rock formations that are perfect for snorkeling. The rest of the island (facing the Pacific) is battered with rocks. A few meters away from the island, tourists can enjoy surfing and swimming.  Read More:  https://www.vigattintourism.com/tourism/articles/Guyam-Island-The-Miniature-Tropical-Paradise-of-Siargao

Ever been to Siargao, The Surfing Capital of the Philippines?  Then you should also try walking in the white sands of Naked Island. Just like the White Island of Camiguin, Naked Island of Siargao doesn’t have any plants or trees growing except for some small bushes around it.

It is probably one of the top tourist spots in Siargao because of the beautiful scenery that you can only find in the island.  Naked Island is one of the three islands visible from the shores of General Luna, Siargao.

This island was not named as Naked for no reason. Seeing the island from afar gives you the idea why this island was called as such. There are no trees, no shed, no everything. Just the open white sand. Though upon arriving at the island there is a small bench are but can’t fit so much people in there.

Naked Island is perfect for photo ops. The open white sand is so picturesque. It’s like you are in a secluded island out in the middle of the ocean.   Read More:  https://chasingculprit.blogspot.com/2017/12/naked-island-in-siargao.html

Naked Island is included on the itinerary if you booked a tour for Surigao. But in case you will have a tour here by your own, don’t forget to check this small all white – called Naked Island.

From the name itself – all naked, means nothing in there except sand. And during high tide, this island is not visible. Huge waves are also expected in here. We were having a hard time going down from the boat due to huge waves.  Read More:  https://iwanderphilippines.com/naked-island-surigao-del-sur/
