Daku Island
Some details on this page have not yet been independently confirmed. Please confirm them directly with Daku Island before you go.
Why it ranks
The largest of the three islands on Siargao's standard island-hopping circuit from General Luna, with a long white beach, coconut groves and beach cottages where boat crews serve lunch.
Don't miss: Swim off the long beach and have a boodle-fight lunch under the coconuts.
Best for: Island-hoppers wanting a beach lunch stop; surfers on a rest day from Cloud 9.
Good to know: Island-hopping boats bundle Daku with Guyam and Naked Island and charge per boat plus a per-person environmental fee; seas are roughest Nov–Feb when the surf is up, so check conditions.
