Here at the Surigao Beach Resort we will keep you busy with unforgettable activities, so book enough time with us. Of course, if you just want to chill-out, you are more than welcome to do that too.
Snorkel or Dive on Our House Reef
We have a little house reef just in front of our resort. It’s nothing super stunning but makes still a nice little snorkeling destination. It gets a much more exciting if you put on your diving gear, and with a little bit of luck you can find all kind of weird and fantastic macro creatures like hairy frogfish and flamboyant cuttlefish.
Much more stunning reef waits for you just a 5 minutes motorbike ride away from Surigao Dream. At Banbanon Beach the corals are teeming with colour and they are in such shallow waters it makes them perfect for snorkeling.
Boat trips away there are some other interesting dive spots. We can get you in contact with the local dive shop if you want to dive here in Surigao Dream. The dive shop can also arrange intro dives for those who want to try diving for the first time.
Chill out on a Deserted Island
The closest deserted island to our place is Basul, perfect place for a half-a-day-trip.
Fall in Love with Dinagat
We do fabulous overnight trips to Dinagat’s paradise islands, which have remained a secret. Few have heard of these gorgeous islands and even fewer have experienced them.
You will explore the islands one full day, and spend the night in a luxury tent on a deserted sandbar.
The Floating Village of Day-Asan
Take a trip with us to Day-Asan Floating Village where people still live on houses built on stilts over the water. We will take you on a boat trip through the village and the surrounding mangrove forest.
What makes Day-Asan very special is that unlike in most mangrove areas where the water is murky, around Day-Asan the sea is crystal clear and you can see corals just under the surface. Great for snorkeling too.
We usually combine a trip to Day-Asan with a visit to nearby Silop Cave.
Sohoton Cave and Jellyfish Lake
Have you heard about Palau’s famous Jellyfish Lake, where you can swim amidst of countless of harmless jellyfish? Well, you can do the same in Surigao too by visiting Sohoton Cave and it’s hidden lagoon which is teeming with jellyfish.
Swim with the Dolphins
When the sea is calm, we will take you dolphin spotting in the waters of the Surigao Strait just in front of our resort. Take your snorkeling gear with you as there is a good chance of going swimming with the dolphins too.
Snorkel with the Whale Sharks
Just a boat drive away is the best place in the Philippines to see whale sharks totally in their natural environment. No feeding here, but almost guaranteed to see them from November to April. As for now the best way to experience the Leyte whale sharks is to do a one or two nights excursion from Surigao to Leyte’s Pintuyan.
