How do I get around Siargao once I arrive?

Last updated: July 8, 2026

There's no Grab, no metered taxi, and no bus network on Siargao. Most people get around by renting a motorbike or hopping on tricycles.

Renting a motorbike

A scooter costs about ₱350 to ₱500 a day and reaches everywhere, from Cloud 9 to the quiet north. Most are automatic. Wear a helmet, carry your licence, and take it slow on rough or wet roads.

Tricycles

Tricycles are everywhere and cheap, around ₱50 to ₱150 for short hops in town. For a day trip, agree a round-trip price with the driver before you set off.
