Siargao

Do you want to get away from the touristy and crowded activities while on the island and explore locations no one else gets to see? You found the right partner! Come with us to enjoy a day of nature and excitement on Siargao. We specialize in private tours for nature lovers who rather want to be on their own and far from crowds. Our unique tours are focussed on offering our guests the peace and relaxation you can’t get on regular crowded tourist trips. Join our fun and unique tours during your next visit on the island and explore parts of the island not many people get to see.

Before launching our tours in the Philippines, we offered tours in Puerto Rico for almost 10 years and still do today and are fortunate to have been judged with more than 1500 5-star reviews across all platforms we operate on, giving us an impressive clean 5 star rating for our tours. We are excited to invite you to join us in the Philippines as well!

 

Siargao's Best Private Tours Period!

Are you on a budget? Check out our new Speed Boat Taxi Service, choose from 6 locations to build your trip and split the cost between up to 4 people.

If you are looking for snorkeling, we recommend our basic Speed Boat Snorkel Tour that includes Guyam Island, two snorkel spots you will only see with us and a relaxing cruise through the mangroves. For the best reef though, we would recommend the tour to Corregidor.

If island hopping is on your wish list or you want to see the best reef around the island, then we recommend the Premium Island Hopping Tour, which includes Guyam island before the crowds get there, Naked island and the best of the 4 islands – Corregidor.

If you rather want to be completely alone, we have a special treat for you: Our Deserted Beach Island Hopping tour. You will be guaranteed to be alone at the entire beach and unlike all other tours, this beach is fine, white sand with stunning nature sounds and views. This tour also includes Corregidor Island.

If you were thinking about going to the most beautiful place around Siargao – Sohoton – have a look at our very best tour, the Sohoton Speed Boat Adventure which already includes the island hopping as well so you safe money. A full day adventure tour to locations in Sohoton nobody else even knows about.

To unwind with your partner or friends, we highly recommend our relaxing Romantic Sunset Cruise that includes a cruise through the Mangroves and stops on Naked and Guyam Island after everyone else left or is just leaving, so you can end your day in perfection.

We also offer a short and fun hiking tour to a completely Secret Waterfall only we know about. A well kept secret and unque experience far from other people in the jungle. 

 

Premium Island Hopping Corregidor

For anyone looking for private island hopping and snorkeling on a speed boat, we recommend our tour to Corregidor Island that also includes Guyam and Naked island. On this tour you have the option to hike up the hills on Corregidor and let us guide you through one of the absolute best reef sanctuaries for snorkeling. This is the best alternative to the crowded and rather boring island hopping trips with pump boats.

Speed Boat Snorkel Tour

Do you want to experience Siargao’s marine life, the stunning turquoise water and a fun boat ride? Join us on our private speed boat and experience a 3 hour professional snorkel tour for non-swimmers as well. We will visit beautiful corals and will see countless colorful fish, such as clownfishes (Nemo) living in their anemone, tangs, puffer fish and often unexpected and exciting surprises.

Sohoton Speed Boat Adventure

The ultimate Siargao tour! Forget the crowded pump boat trips to Sohoton where you will sit all day in a noisy, slow boat and only have a short time being processed. Instead, come with us and truly explore Sohoton and experience the stingless jellyfish far from other people and get a chance to snorkel with sea horses. We spend all day exploring hidden beaches, snorkeling, visiting a cave and cruise through Sohoton.

Deserted Beach Island Hopping

This complete getaway tour starts with you arriving at a truly secret beach on our speed boat, where the only humans we might see are fishermen going on with their daily business. You can stay as long as you like, explore, relax and have an entire beach just for yourself, but on this tour a visit to Naked and Corregidor Island is also included and we will snorkel the best reef in the area together.

Romantic Sunset Cruise

Unwind on our romantic sunset boat tour and relax in our speed boat while we cruise along the coast and into the mangroves, where we will explore the channels, listen to and watch the wildlife, go for a swim and make a stop at the secret beach. For sunset we will make our way to Guyam island after most or all people already left and will watch nature’s golden hour without crowds.

Secret Waterfall Tour

Follow us into the forest and get close to nature, hiking through streams and on beautiful small trails to a small, hidden waterfall on a fun adventure nature walk including big butterflies. For everyone who isn’t afraid to get wet and a bit dirty, just to refresh in the warm and clean fresh water at the waterfall at the end of the hike. Perfect for those who want to experience the real Philippines far from crowds.

Some of our reviews

Teresa Day

   “Chris took us to some islands outside of the tourist swarm and we had an amazing time! We had coconut drinks on a pristine beach, tried conch for our first time, enjoyed a delicious BLT sandwich which Chris provided. Chris took us way-off the beaten path and into an authentic village on a pretty much un-touched island! We then went snorkeling with him on some gorgeous reefs, and saw a ton of beautiful fish and ocean life. He is very informative and specializes in taking tourists away from the hustle and bustle and gets you places most people will never see! I can’t say enough good things! If you have the opportunity to take a tour with Chris, get it booked before someone else does because you won’t forget it!”

Pierson Tan

    “Chris is an awesome guide. He brought us to an amazing snorkeling spot and taught us a lot about the coral reef and the wildlife that we saw. He swam alongside us and took photos which he sent to us. The speedboat we were on was comfortable and not too loud like a Bangkla. Then we went to the mangroves which were really beautiful and peaceful. We saw a Filipino eagle. Then we headed to Guyam Island for the sunset. Chris didn’t rush us even though our 3 hours were up.”

Ellen Davidson

    “Chris took us on a magical day. We saw the most beautiful beaches and his timing allowed us to feel like the only ones there. He is so knowledgeable about the area and was able to lead us through gorgeous snorkeling sites on coral reefs, a short hike to a magnificent view and a side trip to mangrove forests. He provided equipment, lunch and so much information. We couldn’t have been happier. Highly recommend!”

Ru Liu

    “We took the island hopping tour with Chris and it was exactly what we were looking for in terms of peace and nature. Chris was very attentive and made sure my parents were okay and comfortable the whole time as my mom is a bit scared of the water. He is also very knowledgeable of the surroundings so we also learned a lot during our time with him. Will definitely check out his other tours when I’m back in Siargao!”

Kevin You

“I booked the 2 hour private speedboat snorkel tour for my girlfriend’s birthday and it was everything we wished for and more. Chris was very knowledgeable and showed us the best parts of the coral reef in Siargao. He was extremely flexible with the tour and even took candid shots for us for this special occasion. Chris was super personable and felt like more of a friend than a guide. I highly recommend splurging on this private tour. We not only had a 10/10 experience but also learned a great deal of ocean facts. Thank you so much again Chris and we hope to book another excursion soon!”

Ali St John

“Highly recommended. Chris was a legend and full of local knowledge. This was exactly what we needed as a family, some local culture, some beautiful snorkeling and a delicious sandwich. Thanks Chris, look forward to the next adventure.”

Sara Bjørnø

“We went on a great snorkeling adventure together with Chris. He has a lot of knowledge about corals, fish and is very focused on safety – so that you yourself can enjoy and have fun! He will show you the world underneath the sea that no one else on the island can, he has the greatest spots to show, and you are completely alone to enjoy it! I highly recommend the snorkeling tour!”

Michael Hall

“Chris provided an excellent tour, everything was well organized. Would recommend and have no hesitation in booking again”

Robyn R

“We did the 3 hour private snorkeling tour. Chris was amazing. Jeff has some mobility issues and we could not have managed without him. He was friendly, knowledgeable and so helpful. We highly recommend Chris and Shapeshifter Tours.”

Nova Giebson

“Excellent communication through WhatsApp . We booked an early morning tour to go snorkeling . Chris took us to an area no other tour boats go to; giving us an area to explore all to ourselves. Excellent equipment used plus interesting stories about the islands, mangroves, etc.”

Jose Rivera

“Had a brilliant afternoon snorkeling with our two kids (6 and 13), thanks to Chris’ flexible planning. He was kind enough to accommodate us at very short notice, taking us to two beautiful snorkel spots. The kids were thrilled, and even when the weather turned unexpectedly. We still had a blast. Loved being able to snorkel with no one else around, away from the crowds, and stay as long as we needed at each spot. We would love to come back and do the two day Sohoton tour, Chris clearly knows the area well and is passionate about making the experience worthwhile for guests. Thanks so much, this was the highlight of our stay”

Lu

“This guy is legend. He made for us unforgettable trip, just as we wanted, boat drive has amazing, snorkeling can’t be any better… I am very glad that we met, can wait to hear from you again.”

The Minimalist Plan

“Fun snorkeling trip! We felt in safe hands, good boat and friendly guy who runs the tours”

Kornon Dakobb

“Will def come back when my youngest is a little older. Wonderful and engaging people that go the extra mile. You can really tell when people pour their heart and soul into what they do. Thank you for everything!!!”

Hannah Ferens

“We had an awesome boat trip with Chris. He adapted to our needs when some storm clouds came rolling in. And we went back out in the afternoon for a stunning sunset boat trip, and his son came along too to play with our son! A perfect end to our last day on the island. And our morning snorkel was magical too. Very attentive and knowledgeable about the area. Safe and reliable.”

Hannah Ferens

“My partner and I did the private tour with Chris and fair to say, it was definitely the highlight of our siargao trip! Chris let us take our time to explore and relax so we were able to go at our own pace. The whole atmosphere was relaxed, adventurous and felt secluded away from the hustle of crowds. Chris was also very knowledgeable of the eco system so we could admire the vast coral and reef fishes at various snorkeling locations (even some secret spots). We got some awesome candid photos from Chris too. Thank you so much for this experience, highly recommend if you want a memorable Siargao experience! “
