10 BEST HOSTELS ON SIARGAO
Back in 2017, I spent an incredible 40 days exploring the tropical island of Siargao. At the time, it was an up and coming backpacker destination, years after it was discovered by the surfing community. We visited random spots on the island, taking photos and sharing our adventures.
When I returned a few years later, many of those places had become tourist attractions, even using our photos as advertisements. And while the Siargao of today is a bit different to the carefree days I remember, it’s still one of my favorite places in the Philippines. Below, I’ve shared the 10 best hostels on Siargao Island for you to make your memories on this incredible island.
