I am Indonesian, in my opinion foreign tourists should go to Siargao because Siargao is better than Bali, and a comfortable place, Filipino people are very kind and friendly,Actually, Indonesia and the Philippines support each other in everything, why is that because Indonesia and the Philippines have similarities and are compatible in everything,For example: in Indonesia there are many Filipinos who are famous artists in Indonesia such as "Leo consul" Cristian Bautista'gwen Zamora and maribeth pascua Legendary singer.

[@dinbee4611]

As a Filipino and have visited both Siargao and Bali, the differences would show that Bali is more developed than Siargao as it has maybe a 50 year jump start in its development, probably from the time of WW2. Siargao was still an undiscovered island then, was unheard of and very underdeveloped maybe about 20-25 years ago. (I've been to Siargao somewhat 20 years ago and it was real rough at that time, only one cellphone tower working, many roads were not yet paved.) Bali at present definitely has more modern infrastructures than Siargao but the vibes of each are different. Bali is more of upscale while Siargao caters to the backpacker types and adventurers. (Although there are several 5-star resorts in Siargao for those with more money to spend.) Siargao is a smaller island so it cannot match Bali in nature sites to offer. You have to travel to neighboring islands to see better nature sites that are even better than Bali, but that's another story. As for the price and cost of living, Siargao used to be cheap, but it's the tourists that drove up the prices in Siargao as the demand became higher than supply. The nature sites in Siargao are more natural than Bali and tourists prefer it that way, still underdeveloped, but very accessible. Tourist that goes to Siargao do not want it overdeveloped like Bali that why many chose Siargao as they want the natural beauty and roughness of Siargao for the moment. The party vibes and food in Siargao, aside from touring, island hopping, actively engaging in sports activities and surfing, are also attractions that tourists like, especially the night life beach parties. Siargao has a singular social community interaction thing, and everyone can just socialize in a nomadic way and do as they please as long as it's not against the law. Because Siargao is a small island, everyone can just rent a motorbike, travel and experience all the island has to offer and it's not unusual to find tourists in the most unusual places also enjoying Sarago's modest natural sites as almost everywhere in Siargao is generally safe for everyone. (I was once informed by the locals that they zealously would guard Siargao against would-be terrorists and other unwanted invaders to protect their livelihood, environment and their tourism.) If you watch other vloggers' videos of those who are based in Siargao, you will see that they featured more and more site developments in Siargao catering to the likes of tourists. Siargao is like a rough diamond but will likely catch up to Bali, albeit be even more expensive, alas..

[@AmelieSatzger]

Thank you for this very personal insight!! ♥️ Can agree to 100% to what you say! 😊

[@dominadorjr.abalos126]

Siargao doesn't necessarily need to developed commercially, because they have to maintain and preserve the island

[@jestropi]

​@@dominadorjr.abalos126 it still needs to be develop especially in healthcare and better roads for safety not only for tourists but also for the locals

Bali and Siargao are very different from each other, Siargao is more natural than Bali, it is like comparing an infant to a father, Siargao is Younger and Bali is old, Bali was Bali when the island of Siargao was unheard of when it was just a lonely island in the Philippines, that is why amenity wise you can say Bali is better, but you see foreigners and alike, many of them choose Siargao over Bali because of it's roughness beauty of nature, and some foreigners prefer it that way as they say it's more satisfying to stay feeling the sensation of being free nature tripping in this remote island. 🤓🤓🤓

Comparing Siargao to Bali is not an equitable proposition, as Bali has long been acknowledged and become a favored destination among diverse individuals seeking the island atmosphere in Southeast Asia. However, Bali's popularity has resulted in both the afflictions of over tourism and the accumulation of waste, consequences of excessive exposure. As a Filipino, I am averse to witnessing Siargao transform into a replica of Bali, overwhelmed by an influx of tourists, secularism, overcrowding, ceaseless revelry, and the inevitable emergence of opportunistic behavior encompassing both the local populace and visitors. I earnestly desire for Siargao to retain its intact, untarnished allure as an unsullied and pristine frontier in the Philippine archipelago.

I love siargao ❤

Me too ♥️

[@Arizonatravelboywonder]

The Philippines hospitality is the difference. No comparison. The best in the world

[@evilydal]

What the SIARGAO HAS NO REASON TO INFLATE THEIR PRICES. It was so cheap back then

[@bons244]

That's just basic economy. They are trending to tourists now, so more paying customers. Personally, Catanduanes and Samar are better options than Siargao - These two islands have more of everything at a way cheaper price (surfing, hiking, diving, beach, caves) minus the night party and hip cafe/restos, but they makeup with more cultural experiences for having bigger local festivals (if you visit in the right time), more towns with richer history - which to me are more authentic experiences.

It's always the people and the place that makes the difference...

If u want an island island vibe, Go to siargao❤

[@Arizonatravelboywonder]

When will you go back to the Phil’s ?

[@AmelieSatzger]

Not sure yet, but would love to come back soon!

[@nicolekite5777]

Of course Bali because of the delicious foods and internet connection

[@r2kin2phils]

For foreigners taking vacations wherever.. first you need to have an open mind. Leave your comfort zone behind. Pack a lot of patience. When travelling, dont complain the internet is slow of course you're not inside your home. Just because you have the money you feel so entitled. You feel that everybody surounds you needs to conform to your standards. Otherwise stay on your own country. Imagine Bali and Siargao closes for foreigners. What a world it would be.

[@antoniobalentawak2599]

according to you: Bali is cheaper than Siargao. stealing more prominent in Siargao than in Bali. Siargao more typhoon prone than Bali. Siargao more community oriented, down to earth authentic people than in Bali. In short, if you're a loner happy to be by yourself go to Bali but if you like being with people go to Siargao

[@simplyyank1119]

Don't take her opinion as fact, clearly she knows nothing about Balinese culture. Bali is one of the most structured ethnicities in Indo, they have very advanced community based ceremonies. Even temples and all of ceremonies involved around any particular temple is structured and involves all part of the community (remember, Bali is one of the last few in the world where traditional dances, traditional musical instruments still played on daily basis and being taught to childrens) From family temple, to banjar, to their mother temples all have their own scheduled ceremonies involving the communities. Calling Siargao is more community based than Bali is a massive overshoot. Maybe she has her own term of community based things, (gathering and chit-chat in cafes is the only community occasion according to her term, perhaps).

it is normal the visitor will more "down to earth" in a more remote area than in a touristy area. She did not talk about local people community

[@simplyyank1119]

​@@medicay3340 thank's for clarifying (thru your opinion). I kinda agree w/ you if that's the case.

[@simplyyank1119]

​@@medicay3340 But on the side note, i do think this place is massively overexaggerated by Filipinos to the point they would shittalking about Bali in so many vlogs that try compare the two. I mean, Mentawais is soooo soooo much better than this place and also uncrowded (yes, Bali is crowded) , but Mentawaians is chilled never talk this or that about others places. I don't know if they're aware or not that as a surf destination siargao is mediocre for beaches and surfing waves consistency and quality.

some of my diginomad friends are there. Better facilities and lots of food options compared to siargao but definitely more touristy than Siargao.@@AmelieSatzger

[@markespinosa6589]

Thank you for choosing siargao.

[@theaterofsouls]

maybe boracay vs bali... siargao is totally different

[@Troy25473]

How about communication?

[@AmelieSatzger]

In Siargao it's not problem at all, almost all of the locals I spoke with spoke very good english, some even better than me I would say! In Bali you could communicate effectively mostly, some speak good english but some only the very basic ones. But I honestly never had a major communication problem in both destinations! 🤗

[@iamchristianmoscoso1992]

SIARGAO IS THE BEST ❤

[@marichuarmodia2375]

Bali is bigger than Siargao i think, Bali can be compared to Penang Island Malaysia

Good to hear that the Siargao community is nice. I found the Bali community to be annoying and not nice.
