Siargao, the surfing capital of the Philippines, is a dream destination for many travelers. But once your plane lands on this beautiful island, the real question kicks in: how do you get to your hotel or resort smoothly, safely, and comfortably?
While tricycles and multicabs are an option, nothing beats the ease and comfort of a private van transfer from Siargao Airport. Whether you're traveling solo, with friends, as a couple, or with family, a private van offers peace of mind, space, privacy, and convenience. In this guide, we’ll explore everything you need to know about booking your private airport transfer in Siargao.
After a flight, the last thing you want is to squeeze into a crowded van or negotiate prices with drivers. A private van gives you exclusive access, air-conditioning, comfortable seats, and plenty of space for your luggage. No strangers, no stops, no hassle.
Your driver will be waiting for you at the airport arrival gate with a sign, ready to take you directly to your accommodation — whether that’s in General Luna, Pacifico, Cloud 9, or anywhere else on the island.
With a pre-booked private transfer, you know the price in advance. No need to haggle or worry about scams. Just sit back and enjoy the ride.
The drivers are locals, trained, friendly, and know the island's roads by heart. They’re used to welcoming tourists and will make you feel at home from the moment you land.
Families with kids – more space, air-con, and door-to-door comfort.
Couples on vacation – perfect for a romantic, stress-free start.
Groups of friends – split the cost and travel together.
Business travelers or digital nomads – time is money, and this saves both.
Surfers with gear – extra room for surfboards and luggage.
Most tourists stay in General Luna, the lively hub of Siargao. It’s about 45 minutes to 1 hour by van from Sayak Airport (IAO). The roads are mostly good, and the drive is scenic — passing palm trees, rice fields, and small villages.
If you're staying further north (Pacifico, Burgos, etc.), the ride may take 1.5 to 2 hours.
Booking your private van before landing is the smartest option. You avoid stress, language barriers, and waiting in long lines at the airport. ShuttleSiargao.com is one of the best and most trusted local providers.
