Sayak Airport to Pacifico: How to Travel to North

Siargao Safels While the vast majority of tourists landing at Sayak Airport (IAO) immediately turn south toward the busy commercial strip of General Luna, an increasing number of travelers are heading straight up north. Destinations like Pacifico Beach in San Isidro, Burgos, and Alegria offer an incredible escape characterized by quiet white-sand coastlines, dramatic rock formations, and world-class, uncrowded surf breaks. However, because the northern half of the island is geographically separated from the main tourist highway loops, arranging an airport transfer to this region requires a bit more planning than a standard town run.

The Northern Transit Challenge

If you step off your flight without a pre-arranged vehicle ride, navigating your way to Pacifico can be highly stressful:

• The General Luna Bias: Almost 90% of the public walk-in joiner vans idling at the terminal gates are exclusively assigned to run south to General Luna. Finding a shared van heading north on the spot is nearly impossible.
• The General Luna Bias: Almost 90% of the public walk-in joiner vans idling at the terminal gates are exclusively assigned to run south to General Luna. Finding a shared van heading north on the spot is nearly impossible.
• Inflated Roadside Quotes: Independent airport touts know that options are limited for northern travelers, and they will regularly quote highly inflated cash rates for a private drive up to San Isidro.
• Zero Route Tracking: The northern mountain highways feature beautiful winding roads, but they lack heavy lighting at night. Riding a motor scooter with heavy bags or surfboards over these hills right after landing is highly dangerous.
