I recently stayed at Rucksack Inn and had an excellent experience. This hostel is a gem in Siargao, offering both comfort and a vibrant social atmosphere.The cleanliness and maintenance of Rucksack Inn are impeccable. The staff does an outstanding job of keeping the place spotless, which made my stay even more pleasant. The owner is incredibly friendly and accommodating, always ready to assist with any requests or provide helpful local tips.One of the highlights of Rucksack Inn is its pool and beach volleyball area. These amenities create a perfect setting for socializing and meeting fellow travelers. It's a great place to relax, have fun, and make new friends.The location is extremely convenient, being close to Cloud 9 and a variety of bars. Whether you're looking to catch some waves or enjoy the nightlife, everything is within easy reach.The rooms are comfortable, with a pleasantly chilly temperature that never gets too cold. I also appreciated that the water supply remains uninterrupted even during the frequent power outages in Siargao.Overall, Rucksack Inn offers a fantastic blend of comfort, social activities, and convenience. The friendly staff and well-maintained facilities make it a top choice for anyone visiting Siargao. I highly recommend it and will definitely return on my next trip.

Stayed here for two weeks. I liked that it was clean and spaceous and you had a chill area with the pool. Also extra credit to Rochelle for being really nice and welcoming.I feel like it could be even better when the restaurant opens and events will be scheduled at the hostel.

I had a fantastic stay at Ruck Sack Inn in Siargao. The location was perfect for the places I wanted to visit. The room was spacious, and clean, and had a comfortable bed. It was quiet with no disturbances, and the staff was very kind. I had a peaceful and restful sleep. I highly recommend this place. Also, a big thank you to Evita for being my tour guide, driver, and photographer. Thank you for providing me with a wonderful and amazing experience here in Siargao.

New hostel in Siargao that has that great balance of affordability and appealing aesthetics. Dorm room that I stayed in had all the amenities I needed, including a double workspace area. In a great location too, surrounded by trees and just off the main Tourism Road. Close to Cloud 9 end for surfing and the main General Luna town. Highly recommended.

How to Get There?

Traveling by plane to Siargao is the most efficient way to reach the island. You can fly to Siargao directly from the main jump-off points in Luzon, the Visayas, and Mindanao – three primary island groups of the Philippine archipelago. You can also choose to fly to Surigao City and then travel via ferry to Siargao Island.

By Flights

Siargao has its own airport, the Sayak Airport, located in the municipality of Del Carmen. Sayak Airport is only connected to domestic destinations.
Philippine Airlines, Cebu Pacific Air, and Skyjet have regular direct Siargao flights from Manila, Cebu, and Davao. It’s best to book months in advance, as prices can skyrocket the closer you get to your departure date.

If you’re coming from outside of the Philippines, you will have to travel to either Manila-Ninoy Aquino International Airport in Luzon, Mactan-Cebu International Airport in the Visayas, or Surigao Airport and Davao International Airport in Mindanao.

The Ninoy Aquino International Airport (NAIA) Airport in Luzon would be your jump-off point if your connecting flight is in Manila. NAIA is connected to several international destinations in North East and Southeast Asia, Middle East, Oceania, North America, and Europe. From NAIA, there are direct Manila to Siargao flights to Sayak Airport.

You also have the choice to fly to the Mactan-Cebu International Airport in the Visayas. You can then book Cebu to Siargao flights from there. Cebu is closer to Siargao than Manila so travel time is shorter and plane fares are most likely lower. Mactan-Cebu airport is connected to 21 international destinations.

Another option is to fly to Francisco Bangoy International Airport in Davao, commonly referred to as the Davao International Airport in Mindanao. This airport is connected to Asian destinations like Hong Kong, Singapore, and Taiwan. You can ride a plane to Siargao from Davao airport.

By Flights and Ferry

Some travelers prefer to fly from Cebu to Surigao City and take the ferry to Siargao Island from Surigao Port. This is a considerably cheaper route than flying directly to Siargao from Cebu.

From Surigao City

You can fly to Surigao Airport from Mactan-Cebu International Airport, and then catch a ferry heading to Siargao at the Surigao Port. Cebu Pacific has direct flights from Cebu to Surigao City.

There are daily fast craft trips from Surigao Port to Dapa in Siargao Island. Evaristo & Sons Sea Transport and Atlantis Yohan Express are the primary shipping lines, with ferries plying Surigao City to Siargao Island every day.
