Booking your Siargao airport shuttle is the single most important thing you can do before landing. It takes 60 seconds, costs you nothing upfront, and eliminates the most stressful part of any tropical arrival. Here's exactly how to do it.
Why You Should Book Before You Fly
Let's be direct: Siargao Airport has no Grab, no Uber, no metered taxis. When you walk out the terminal exit, your options are pre-booked vans, opportunistic tricycles, or waiting. During peak season, every pre-booked van is taken within minutes of a flight landing. The travelers who didn't book in advance are left negotiating with tricycle drivers or waiting for the next available shared van.
Pre-booking takes 60 seconds. It costs you nothing. There's genuinely no reason not to do it.
How to Book Your Siargao Airport Shuttle — Step by Step
Step 1 — Choose Your Transfer Type
Decide between:
- Shared shuttle (₱350/person): Best for solo travelers, couples, and budget-conscious groups. You share the van with other passengers heading to the same area.
- Private van (from ₱2,500/van): Best for groups of 3+, families, surfers with boards, and anyone wanting instant departure. The entire van is exclusively yours.
Step 2 — Fill in the Booking Form
Go to our online booking form and enter:
- Your full name (as it appears on your ticket)
- Your flight number and airline
- Date and arrival time
- Number of passengers
- Your hotel, hostel, or villa name and address
- Any special luggage requirements (surfboards, extra large bags, etc.)
The form takes under 60 seconds to complete. No account creation, no password, no personal data beyond what's needed for your transfer.
Step 3 — Receive WhatsApp Confirmation
Within a few hours (often much faster), you'll receive a WhatsApp message containing:
- Confirmation of your booking details
- Your driver's full name
- Your driver's direct mobile number
- The agreed price
- Any additional instructions for your specific drop-off
Save this message. You now have everything you need for a smooth arrival.
Step 4 — Land and Meet Your Driver
Exit the terminal at Sayak Airport. Your driver will be standing at the exit area holding a sign with your name. They already know your flight, your destination, and how many passengers to expect.
Step 5 — Pay on Arrival
Pay your driver directly in cash (PHP) or GCash. No online payment, no deposit, no credit card. The price quoted is the price you pay — nothing more.
