On the surrounding islands, dining options are limited, so it’s always a good idea to bring your own food and drinks for a picnic on the beach. Some island hopping packages, however, include lunch, allowing you to enjoy fresh seafood and snacks while relaxing on the sand.

In Daku, you can enjoy freshly cooked seafood prepared by locals, perfect for a true island feast. If you’re looking for more options, head back to Siargao’s main island where more restaurants cater to a variety of tastes.

Here are some of the highlights for each island in the surrounding Siargao region:

Guyam Island Guyam Island is small, picturesque, and perfect for a quick stop during your island hopping tour. With great snorkeling spots and a lovely area by the beach for picnics, it’s an idyllic place to relax and soak in the scenery. Don’t forget to snap a selfie in front of the "I ♥ GUYAM" sign, a popular photo spot!

Daku Island Daku Island is one of the most frequently visited islands in Siargao, and for good reason. The island is much larger than Guyam and offers visitors a peaceful escape with its stunning white sand beaches. Rent a cottage for around 500 pesos, enjoy some freshly prepared seafood, or simply bask in the sun. Daku is ideal for those who want to enjoy the natural beauty of the island while indulging in some relaxation.

Naked Island Naked Island is famous for its stark beauty and simplicity—nothing but a vast stretch of fine white sand with no trees, shade, or vegetation. The name doesn’t mean you have to go clothing-optional, but it’s definitely a “bare” island with minimal distractions. It’s the perfect spot for sunbathing and taking a dip in the crystal-clear waters.

Mamon Island For those seeking a more secluded and serene experience, Mamon Island is the place to go. With only around 200 residents, this island offers pristine turquoise waters, beautiful beaches, and plenty of trees for shade. Mamon is ideal for those looking to escape the crowds and enjoy a peaceful overnight camping trip.

La Januza La Januza is connected to Mamon Island during low tide, and together, they form a quiet, off-the-beaten-path destination. Though small, La Januza has a more active community, with a barangay hall and school. It’s the perfect spot for an overnight camping experience with a local vibe.
