Siargao Vacation
In February the kids had a 4 day weekend, so we took advantage of that and went to Siargao here in the Philippines. Siargao is known as being a surfing destination. Although we don’t surf, we still had an enjoyable time exploring the island, going island hoping, and trying out surfing at the famous “Cloud 9“. A friend also told us of Kalinaw resort to stay and it had delicious food (homemade bread, wood fire pizza, etc) and a wonderful and helpful staff.
We flew from Manila to Cebu. Then took this plane from Cebu to Siargao

Kalinaw Resort. Our room is on the right and the kids loved that the pool was right next to our room

Day 1
First island to visit was “Naked Island”. Nothing there, just sand.
Second island to visit is “Dako Island”. We had a yummy lunch prepared by our resort here.
Last island to visit “Guyam Island”. Not much here, just some trees and rocks.
Day 2
Traveled around the island to Magpaponko Swimming Hole during low tide.
Exploring the island of Siargao. Very quiet and peaceful place.
Day 3
Our last day we met this family during low tide. The father was teaching his children how to fish.
We made it to the famous “Cloud 9” surf spot. Matt and Tia got surfing lessons and both stood up on our board. Here Tia is surfing a small wave.
We enjoyed our time at Siargao, and the staff at Kalinaw resort was a big help during our time there. They played with Blake during all of our meals and were just so pleasant.
