Booking a van transfer from Siargao Airport is easier in 2026 than it's ever been. Here's the complete, step-by-step guide to securing your transfer before your plane lands.
Before You Book — Choose Your Transfer Type
The first decision is shared or private:
- Shared shuttle (₱350/person): Share a van with other passengers heading to General Luna. Best for solo travelers and couples who don't mind waiting 10–20 minutes for the van to fill. Great value, comfortable, door-to-door.
- Private van (from ₱2,500): The entire van is exclusively yours. Departs immediately when you land. Best for groups of 3+, families, and anyone with surfboards or heavy equipment.
Step-by-Step Booking Process
Step 1 — Open the Booking Form
Go to the Shuttle Siargao website and click "Book Now." The booking form is simple and takes under 60 seconds to complete. No account registration, no credit card, no password.
Step 2 — Enter Your Flight Details
The most important field is your flight number. This allows us to:
- Track your flight in real time for delays
- Have your driver arrive at the right time
- Adjust automatically if your flight is early or late
Also enter your arrival date, scheduled landing time, airline, and number of passengers.
Step 3 — Enter Your Destination
Provide the name of your hotel, hostel, villa, or Airbnb in General Luna. If it's a private address, include the street name or a nearby landmark. The more specific, the better — our drivers know General Luna extremely well, but unusual addresses benefit from extra detail.
Step 4 — Add Special Requirements
This is where you mention:
- Surfboards (number and size)
- Oversized luggage or sports equipment
- Traveling with young children (car seat needs)
- Accessibility requirements
- Any other special requests
Step 5 — Submit and Wait for WhatsApp Confirmation
Hit submit. Within a few hours (often much faster during business hours), you'll receive a WhatsApp message confirming:
- All your booking details
- Your driver's full name
- Your driver's direct mobile number
- The confirmed price
Step 6 — Arrive and Enjoy
Exit Sayak Airport terminal. Your driver holds a sign with your name. You load up, you go. Pay on arrival in cash or GCash.
