Itinerary

Show

Hotel pickup — approximately 7:30 AM

Be ready at the eligible General Luna hotel or pickup landmark entered during booking. The vehicle collects multiple guests, so pickup time is approximate. Travel to the departure port and meet the tour team.

Boat journey to Bucas Grande

Board the shared main boat for the crossing from Siargao toward Bucas Grande. Travel time and comfort depend on the departure point and sea conditions. Follow the crew's life-jacket and seating instructions.

Sohoton Cove orientation

Meet the accredited community guide and transfer to the smaller local boat used in the managed cove area when required. The local team determines which passages, caves and lagoon areas are accessible.

Hagukan Cave

Enter or swim near Hagukan when water level, current and guest ability make access safe. Experience the cave's wave echoes and entrance light under the guide's supervision.

Magkukuob or Diving Cave

Explore the cave route when open. Confident guests may choose the supervised jump only after the guide explains the exit and confirms safe conditions. Anyone may decline the jump.

Stingless-jellyfish sanctuary

Visit the sanctuary when seasonal jellyfish presence, conservation rules and operating conditions permit. The guide decides whether observation is from the boat or whether water entry is allowed. Do not touch, lift or chase jellyfish.

Boodle-fight lunch

Enjoy the included communal Filipino-style lunch at the location arranged by the operator. Menu and serving format can vary. Tell TravelGO about allergies or dietary restrictions before the tour, but specialist meals and allergen-free preparation cannot be guaranteed unless confirmed.

Transfer toward Dagatan Bay

Continue according to the operator's route, including a van transfer from Socorro to Dagatan Bay where required by the itinerary.

Dagatan Bay Resort activities

Relax and use available slides, swings or the diving platform if open and considered safe. Guests may skip any activity. Water depth, equipment status, local restrictions and the guide determine access.

Dagatan viewing lagoon

Visit the scenic lagoon for photographs and quiet time when included in the day's operating route.

Return to Siargao and hotel — around 4:30 PM

Return by shared boat and vehicle to eligible General Luna drop-off points. The return time is an estimate and may change with weather, sea conditions, park queues and group timing.
