A cheap way to enjoy Siargao...
Rent a motorbike (sorry if you don't know how to drive motor bike)
*350-400 pesos per day rent will open a window to endless Siargao experience within the entire duration that you have a motorbike.
*50 pesos for 1 litre gasoline. Your 1 litre gasoline can take you to 65 kilometers of Siargao experience if you are using scooters with FUEL INJECTION technology (yamaha MIO soul i, Yamaha MIO, note that there are MiO sporty scooters that consume gasoline like a monster) . 3 litres and you can tour around the island already and get back to your accomodation with extra gas.
