BOAT TRIPS   Not to be missed is a full day boat trip to the “YoHoHo” Lagoons-Coves-Caves & Islands. An absolutely magical place, overhung by Jungle cliffs with pitcher plants, cycads and wild orchids. This is probably the most spectacular adventure and joy trip you will ever have. Plenty Fresh Sea Food, (Fish, Crabs, Clams, Jelly Fish – Sea Urchin), Chicken, Pork, Salads and much more) together with “All you can drink (YoHoHo Rum, Beer, Juices etc).

Swim, snorkel in pristine crystal clear water and watch the many exotic fishes watching you.. Explore with paddle boats or kayaks the seemingly endless labyrinths of coves mangroves and islands.

In front of Patrick's on the Beach are several islands. You should pop across the lagoon to the perfect palm-fringed Guyam Island, and/or Dako Island and its white sand beach, coral reefs and friendly villagers, or visit Naked Island a white sand spit with coral all around. Patrick's on the Beach can organize your boat trips with a cooler packed with ice, soft drinks, water, beer and delicious lunch and snacks. About 30 minutes with Patrick’s pump-boat is the pristine island Casulian Island with wonderful beaches and lots of shells.

The 300 plus islanders are very friendly and are proud that they have protected their exquisite coral reefs full of all types of sea life. This island is well worth for a whole day outing with picnic on the beach or a casual hike to the to of the top of the mountain where you will experience a most spectacular 360° view overlooking the many surrounding islands and cove nestled in the clear, blue and turquoise Pacific ocean. If you are feeling brave or foolhardy, try rocky, jungle Hanoyoy, and see if all the talk about buried treasures and wak-waks (forest spirits) are really true. Beyond Dako are the Islands La Janusa, Mamon and little Antakon, with crystal clear water, coral reefs and white sand, rolling breakers and friendly villagers. Close by is Anajauan Island  with great beaches, lots of coral reefs good for diving and snorkeling and of course with some great surf breaks. Up the coast, just past Pilar is Magpapungko, and its natural rock swimming pools.

Scoured clean by every tide, it is a great place for a picnic. Beyond, you could go to Pacifico Beach, Burgos and Alegria, all with great beaches and surf breaks. On the west coast of Siargao are Poneas Island and Del Carmen (formally Numancia) with its huge mangrove forests, an the amazing YoHoHo lagoon, caves & Islands with pristine corals and beaches surrounded by virgin jungles with limestone mountains. Del Carmen, fringed with mangrove forest known for their famous crocodiles.





LAND TOURS ISLAND TOURS:




You can tour the Island by renting a motorcycle for about P600 (US$12) p day or a van for P1500 half day (US$30) from Patrick's or take a guided tour with Patrick’s van. Or for the budget traveler take a tour on a Habal-habal motorcycle. It is literally, the kind of joyful coupling like when” pigs are making bacon” - You'll see why, when you watch a full load of local passengers on one motorbike (habal-habal) - they take about six Filipinos but only two or three foreigners. A more comfortable way is Patrick's organized multi-cap day trips for small or large groups to the waterfalls, caves, beaches, surf breaks and some secrete places where the beauty intoxicates your senses like the rock pools Magpupungko in Pilar .

There are few road signs, so take Patrick's Siargao Road Map.
Patrick's provides picnics with a delicious assortment of food, drinks and snacks that will make your tour a truly joyful experience.   CAVING: There is a huge cave at Consuelo, with stalactites, stalagmites, rock crystals, piles of bat guano, a million bats and even a huge python, but you'll have to be fit to get there. There's another at Malinao, on the way to Union. You may discover some caves no man has set foot in as yet.

JUNGLES: Siargao is one of the only islands in the Philippines where tarsiers (small lemurs or bush babies, extinct almost anywhere else) are still common. See Monitor Lizards six feet long, Hornbills, Parrots, Yellow and Black Lorikeets, Kingfishers, and other birds nobody yet knows the names of.


HIKING: There is hiking trails everywhere. Visit small villages, explore Coconut plantations and farms, and climb the lush Mountains with an amazing fauna of all kind of WILDLIFE WATCHING: Plenty to see on land, on and below the sea – at night and during the day. Unfortunately the Philippines are not known for good
conservation but maybe you can make a difference when they see you watching their beautiful nature and wildlife. Patrick’s on Cloud 9 has a tropical yard with a bird sanctuary. The YoHoHo Lagoon is an exceptional place to watch and see a huge variety of wildlife and birds at daytime and nighttime.  







WATER SPORT ACTIVITIES SWIMMING & WATER SPORTS: Enjoy at Patrick's on the Beach silky clear ocean at high tide or at dawn or dusk, when the water is freshest, or at night when the moon is out and the water is phosphorescent. A natural swimming pool at Patricks beach let you enjoy swimming at any time including at low tide. On many of the surrounding islands like Guyam, Dako and Casulian Island you can swim always at any tide. At Patrick’s we have all kind of water sports from Skim boarding to tow-able fun sport. Of course we have plenty rental gear available for all age groups. KAYAKING: You can rent a kayak or paddle boat from Patrick’s on the Beach and explore the coast line in and around General Luna and Union or paddle across to Guyam or Dako Island. We also are happy to take you and the Kayak to special places that you can explore such as to the many mangrove forests, Pillar inlet and a few secrete places that we reserve for our very adventures guests far away from any tourist path. SURFING: It’s addictive – waves – waves –waves everywhere! Patrick’s has a great team of surfers to teach you this fabulous sport and who take you to the right wave just for you. Nettie our surfing queen enjoys nothing more when she takes you to a surfing trip you will never forget.

DIVING & SNORKELLING There's plenty to see above and under the clear waters in and around Siargao Islands (fish, corals, sea snakes, etc, but no big sharks unless you go out far in depth of the Pacific).  Plenty of reefs to snorkel around Guyam and Dako Islands right in front of Patrick's (you can just drift with the current along the drop-off). Around Pansukian, the coral reefs are great, (even better at night time) and you can explore reefs in front of Tuason Point (but please not under the break itself). Many, many good snorkeling places like all around La Janosa and Mamon Island, Casulian Island and about everywhere. Patrick’s offers first class Diving for all levels – beginners, advanced and professionals. It is still very virgin when it comes to diving. Patrick’s has identified over twenty real good diving spots. But there are many more as we only have explored 5 to 10% of the waters around Siargao. We constantly discover new amazing diving spots.  A huge underwater cave with four to five separate entrances was recently discovered under the first rock islands in front of Tuason, and the Blue Cathedral just off Caridad, north of Pilar. Underwater visibility for photography is outstanding. Snorkeling and diving gear is available at Patrick's.  The YoHoHo Lagoons, Coves Caves and Islands have some fabulous diving spots as well and of course great snorkeling. Kite Surfing Right on Patrick’s Beach there is some great kite surfing. Just bring your own gear. There is none for rental here as yet.      





FISHING Deep-sea fishing is top notch here. The sailfish and blue marlin season, really hums from March to early May, when the big fish (sailfish, marlin, MaiMai) cruise the deep water only a mile or two off Patrick’s Resort. But you could fish for coral trout, and other reef fish anytime as well as large deep sea snappers. You can join Patrick's local fisherman for a one day or even a two day/one night fishing adventure to take you out to the Payao, a floating fish attractor about five miles beyond Guyam, and troll for bolis (skipjack) or Barilis(yellow fin tuna). You can catch Tanguigue (Spanish mackerel), huge Pacific Tuna, and Morang (dolphin fish). In the lagoon, you can get Bayo (Long toms) - they're fun to catch but for the foreigners a little too bony to eat.
