About This Tour

A 12-day private route from Manila's Intramuros and a Pagsanjan Falls canoe trip, through Puerto Galera's island-hopping, to Siargao's surf breaks, lagoons, and island-hopping around Cloud 9. This trip includes a domestic flight between Manila and Siargao Island (days 6 and 11) — the only practical way to reach Siargao — alongside your private driver and vehicle for every ground-transport day.

Frequently Asked Questions

Yes — Voyzo runs it exclusively for your group, with private land transfers and an English-speaking guide throughout.
Yes — one domestic round-trip flight between Manila and Siargao Island (days 6 and 11), the only practical way to reach Siargao; every other transfer is by private vehicle or arranged boat.
A one-hour beginner surf class is included on day 6, with plenty of free time on days 8-10 for more if you'd like it — Siargao's Cloud 9 break is one of the world's best-known surf spots, but the trip isn't surf-only.
A 7km canoe ride upriver with local boatmen, a bamboo-raft trip to the falls to swim, and a return trip shooting the rapids — a genuinely active, hands-on day rather than a passive boat tour.
