Corregidor Island Tour Itinerary 📝
- Snorkelling
- Lunch
- Coconut Tree Planting
- Meditation
- Naked Island
When you arrive you are given some time to go snorkelling whilst lunch is being prepared. It’s the perfect way to build up an appetite and you get to see some beautiful fish and coral. Side note – Please don’t stand on coral, it will kill it!
Next is lunch and we can honestly say it is one of the best island-hopping lunches we have ever had! They cater to everyone so if you are a vegetarian or vegan don’t worry they have you covered. This huge feast of noodles, prawns, chicken, veggie patties and more is all served traditionally of a large banana leaf.
After lunch, you set off on the 30-minute hike to the top of the island. On the way, you pass through the village with children playing on the dusty tracks and locals collecting water from a communal well.
As you start to approach the top of the island you will hit the grassy fields and the views are incredible. This is where you will plant your coconut tree.
Once planted the group we enjoy a meditation session taking in the views and connecting yourself to the earth. This part is really special and is something we will remember forever.
You then head back down to the boat and onto the next stop Naked Island.
Naked Island is a large sand bar just off the south coast of Siargao. You arrive here for sunset, there is something about white sand, blue water and sunset you just can’t beat. Once the light has gone it is time to head back to The Boardwalk.
After the tour, the crew will invite you to the Siargao Reggae bar where they will be performing. We highly recommend you pop in to see them.

Surfing At Cloud 9
Siargao is best known as the surf capital of the Philippines. All around the island you can find beautiful surf spots, but none can beat Cloud 9. This section of waves are more for the advanced surfers, but if you are a beginner head to Jacking Horse. This is where you will find the more forgiving waves. Whether you just want to walk along the Cloud 9 Boardwalk or chill with a Shaka Bowl this small town in Siargao has some of the best vibes in the Philippines.
Palm Tree Lookout
The Palm Tree Lookout in Siargao has the best views on the Island, stretching out as far as the eye can see. Palm trees fill the island of Siargao, whilst surfers fill the shores. Siargao has recently become our favourite island in the Philippines, you will soon see why.
The Palm Tree Road Siargao
This stop should be on top of everyone list when visiting the island. Travel out of the main tourist towns to explore the heart of Siargao. Although we are sure there are many amazing roads covered in Palm Trees, none can compete with this Palm Tree Road.
The Palm Tree Rope Swing
The Palm Tree Rope Swing on Siargao Island has become one of the most iconic spots to visit. Thanks to social media the palm tree rope swing which was once a local spot, has become a top tourist attraction in the Philippines. Nestled away in the middle of the island is the Maasin River. This is where you will find the famous bent palm tree swing. You can spend hours here mastering your flips into the river.
Magpupungko Rock Pool
The Island of Siargao isn’t all about surfing and palm trees, it is also homed to the magnificent Magpupungko Rock Pools. These huge rock pools are one of the biggest and deepest, with crystal clear water we have ever come across. After living on Rottnest Island in Western Australia where there is a lot of rock pools, we think we are quite good judges.
