Where to Eat

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.
Things to Do
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.
Anajawan Island Anajawan is a self-contained island with a friendly community and breathtaking views. The Anajawan Island Resort, run by an Australian/Filipino couple, offers beachfront accommodations with a restaurant, bar, and room service. Be sure to try their signature pizza and enjoy the laid-back atmosphere. Fun fact: the island is planning to build a large solar power station, aiming for 100% carbon-free energy, making it an eco-friendly destination.
Corregidor Island Corregidor Island is known for its stunning hills and lush greenery. A short hike from the beach will take you to the island’s peak, where you’ll be rewarded with panoramic views of Siargao and its neighboring islands.
