Siargao is making waves on the internet because of its pristine beaches and perfect waves. This little island in the Philipines is perfect for surfers and people who want a break from the busy city life.

Bathala’s Jeep Tours takes you around Siargao and shows you the best activities the island has to offer.

Sample the Local Coffee

Siargao is an eco-friendly island with bamboo straws replacing plastic straws and NGOs supporting local farmers. The coffee tour focuses on the endemic coffee beans of Siargao and is sourced directly from the farmers. So you can be sure that you’re getting an organic farm to table coffee.

Create Your Own Banig Goodies

Banig is a Philippine material made from palm (buri), and pandan or seagrass leaves. It’s a sustainable material that’s typically used in East Asian countries. This material is used to make mats, bags and even water bottle holders. How nifty and crafty! If you wanna come up with own design, you can practice your weaving skills here.
