Overview

Show

At Sugba Lagoon, guests can swim, relax and use the ledge-jumping area when it is open. Kayaks and paddleboards may be rented locally for an additional charge. The standard tour also includes the Maasin River boat experience, subject to water and local operating conditions.

FAQ

Is this a private tour?

Yes. The standard road and boat arrangements are for the guests included in your confirmed booking rather than a normal shared joiner group.

Which destinations are included?

The standard route includes Sugba Lagoon, Magpupungko Rock Pools, Maasin River, the Maasin River boat experience, Coconut Mountain View and Coconut Road.

How long is the tour?

The tour lasts approximately 7–9 hours. Tide timing, boat operations, weather, traffic and time at each stop affect the exact return time.

Is Magpupungko guaranteed?

The guide plans around the tide, but access depends on tide conditions, waves, opening status and local safety decisions. The stop may be changed or omitted when conditions are unsuitable.

Is the Maasin River boat ride included?

Yes. The standard package includes the local Maasin River boat experience, subject to water level and operating availability.

Is lunch included?

No. Lunch is normally taken in Del Carmen or near Magpupungko, depending on route order. Guests choose and pay for their own meals and drinks.

Is food available at Sugba Lagoon?

Food and drinks are not normally sold inside Sugba Lagoon. Bring sufficient drinking water and any essential personal snacks permitted under current local rules.

Are kayaks and paddleboards included?

No. They may be available to rent locally at Sugba Lagoon, subject to availability and operating rules. Guests pay rental charges separately.

Is ledge jumping guaranteed?

No. The jump area can only be used when it is open and local staff determine that conditions are suitable. Participation is optional.

What happens during bad weather?

The route or activities may change when conditions are unsuitable. If authorities prohibit the boat portion and the confirmed tour cannot operate because of severe weather or unsafe conditions, the booking qualifies for a full refund under the partner’s stated terms.

How far ahead should I book?
