2020 Surigao Travel Guide: Things To Do and How to Get There

Surigao is one of the places you should try to visit in the Philippines. Many had probably confused or misspelled this place to Siargao Island, but it’s never a deal anyway since, both offers great attractions among tourists and locals as well. The province is hereby divided into two provinces, one to be known as Surigao del Norte and the other as Surigao del Sur. Surigao City is Surigao del Norte’s capital city meanwhile, Tandag City is Surigao del Sur’s capital.

Bucas Grande Island

Bucas Grande is an island in the province of Surigao del Norte where abundant scenery of lagoons, coves, caves can be found. One of its main attraction is the spotted stingless jellyfish and some are found at Sohoton Jellyfish Sanctuary where they are being protected and just recently the tourism office had prohibited people to swim with these creatures.

Mabua Pebble Beach

This beach might be unusual at first because instead of fine sands, what covers the water floor are smooth rocks or pebbles, as the name of the beach suggests. The beach is located 30 minutes away from the city. The smooth pebbles provide a relaxing effect as you step into the water.

Hinatuan River

Hinutuan river is a stretch of deep spring river and is indeed living out its name as an enchanted river. It was a bit puzzling since for a long time, there’s no knowing how deep the river was (Although recent record shows that it is around 80-feet deep) and as to where this flow of water comes from. But the comely shades of blue and green and clear waters seem to dwindle the bewilderment.
