Went went to siargao around the same time you was there but we left after 48hrs as the weather was awful & we had some bad experiences. But we cannot wait to go back when the weather is better, everyone says good things about the island 💭

[@darosa5741]

December through mid-February is the rainy season on Siargao. The best time to visit is April through October.

[@CarlandCrez]

I'll be there in a few months 🥰

[@Joelfriend]

Awesome, it’s such a beautiful island!

[@taculadcreation]

Wow! Someday will meet you Siargao.

[@simplerecipe2188]

So delighted to see the blooming paradise of Siargao i would say. We Filipino are very proud to have this nature. If you really wants to have an aventure and relax close to mother nature visit Siargao Philippines. We actually have Virgin Island that you dont explore.

[@wp9522]

I'm filipino but I never been there before in the beautiful island of siargao.

[@jeremydandrea1537]

Good Job!

[@dancedricarevalo5326]

Regarding Siargao pronunciation, your first attempt was the correct one 😊

[@horiiizon3457]

How would you rank the Bucas Grande Sohoton Cove tour - tri Island Hopping tour (naked, daku, guyam) and Sugba Lagoon? If you didnt have time to do all 3.

[@albertoalveriomondillajr6067]

I love siargao

[@andraeus]

We'll be going there soon! How restricted is drone flying in Siargao? I'm planning to bring my drone with me. Thanks a lot! :)

[@saoirseeK]

siargao is the best!

[@Joelfriend]

I love it there!

[@aydanatasbolat1914]

Hey Joel,thank you for video..I am planning to visit Philippines for the first time and Siargao especially..the only thing that is bothers me is a internet ,I have a online meetings with my laptop ,how is wi-fi in the hotels?didnt you mentioned get the e SIM card ,how is that SIM card quality satisfying ?

[@archilife2555]

Stay at a hotel with Starlink.

[@emaguigad]

Only thing I disagree with is your recommendation on Kurvada. I was just there 2 weeks ago and it’s not cheap. I think social media and over recommendations to this place have many tourists come which of course increased in prices. There are better options food-wise that are not too hyped up by social media.

[@jansenalmonidovar9248]

Wowowowowowow❤❤❤

[@MsJansen10]

Where did you stay in Siargao?

[@topscris]

I don't know how the island hopping in Siargao works but it's getting a bit weird because you're probably the Nth vlogger, since the Philippines reopening from lockdown, who had more than enough time to visit or explore the island but didn't vlog or feature the so called "Windows XP default desktop background", Siargao's Corregidor Island. Does the boat driver or maybe the tour guide have to be in a certain mood? Only 3 foreign vloggers have gone and featured that island this 2022 but 2 of the 3 are Siargao residents for almost 3 years now, and the 3rd just love Siargao, so they have been going there for years. But the Pamomoan and Kawhagan Islands are new and nice.

[@Joelfriend]

We really wanted to go to Corregidor island however we couldn’t find a tour which goes so we would have to take a private boat which would be super expensive!

[@travellingwithcrowsfeet]

Nice vlog guys.

[@xvirus6417]

Hi bro i am a solo traveler and saw ur palawan and siragao amazing guides, im planning to visit palawan then siragao how many days u recommend me to stay in palawan and how many days in siragao as i have 10 days for both

[@RicherThanIeverbeen]

I need to learn how to surf for sure. LFG

[@pnr9730]

Going there on the 28th of Feb

[@Joelfriend]

Ahhh how exciting!!

[@pnr9730]

@@Joelfriend ya I sailed my boat their in 2015 always wanted to go back. I was sailing Philippines for 4 months was awesome. Cheers

Ey cant wait headed there In few days, any good bar recommendations besides kermits?

[@corwinlindsey8490]

We are going here this sept send me the link for the trip. To see the jelly fish . in siargao and some of the places you went my wife is from Davao

[@justJECY]

Will i enjoy sohoton cave tour package even if I can't swim? Like maybe they provide a lifevest?

[@pfguy.]

As a surigaonon i confirm the island is off the coast!

[@Anilebe]

Is there anybody else who can say something more about the cheaper tour to get to sugba lagoon

[@Mikelikestohike]

Im trying to plan a trip to the Philippines but the flight there is so expensive for me and i currently have no points I just turned 18 it so beautiful.

[@evelitaolegario3922]

Take your time.. the Philippines will still be around when you grow old..😂

[@Mikelikestohike]

@@evelitaolegario3922 life is so fragile I don't wanna sit around and miss my opportunity to see things but yeah Ik the country will always been there

[@darosa5741]

Keep an eye out for promos. In my opinion Philippine Airlines is the better choice simply because they have really good customer support. You can actually talk to an agent on the phone if there are problems. If you fly the other major carrier (I'll leave nameless), they only have chatbots.

[@cori1691]

Did yall stay at Kermit as well?

[@Peacemakerblue]

I can't pick where to go? Is it better than Bali

[@James-ox7sl]

if you had to give a ratio of how many times you needed cash vs were able to use credit card, can you share? Thanks!

[@Joelfriend]

80% cash, card are only in a few select places

[@cori1691]

If you could only pick three of these to do, which would you pick?

[@aehabfares4665]

Can you say how much it costs to stay there, like room and board for two weeks, thanks

[@billybunter55]

Quick question......do you need yellow fever vaccination certificate travelling from UK to enter the Philippines?

[@lavania1712]

Curious to know if its very crowded and touristy?

[@jessiegood216]

It's pronounced Shar-gao. Or Shar-go however is easiest to read haha. I lived there for a bit :)

[@ElisahvandenBorn]

HI!! My husband and I are currently planning our trip. We have 4 days that we can spend on Camiguin or on Siargao. What would you recommend??

[@jessiepasigna705]

go directly to siargao

[@akiraquion1716]

😍😍

[@danrawkins5239]

Is it okay to go here in march ?

[@Nippernator]

Yes, peak dry season

[@carmelaingente4259]

Is it okay to hire motorcycles without drivers license?

[@rimrodi7]

Well obviously not

[@gramo63]

Joel, you mentioned the need for water shoes -- in jumping off the sharp rocks into the sea. RESORT OWNERS SHOULD TAKE NOTE -- and use a small sledgehammer to FLATTEN most of the POINTED TIPS of the rocks -- to make rock surfaces a bit smoother to step on. This will make rock-jumping safer and more enjoyable for a lot of tourists.

[@Dude6311]

Leave natural features alone

[@azra_70s]

No, they should not move or do anything to the rocks. Leave them be and let the tourists visit at their own risk.

[@chipirl2041]

How was the wifi? I'm considering to work there remotely for a few weeks!

[@Expen5ive]

11:06 lol

[@justus_csgo]

when is the best time to visit philippines?

[@MrWackydoodles]

If you're after the beaches, Feb- May are your the safest bet. clear weather and blue skies. Rainy season starts at June end could last until dec

[@chipirl2041]

@@MrWackydoodles This period is also the warmest perhaps around 30-35 degrees celcius on average? Could be higher

[@MrWackydoodles]

@@chipirl2041 yes perfect for skinnydipping

[@chloefitzgerald3645]

Did you guys ever get any travel vaccines Japanese encephalitis, rabies etc for any of your travelling? :)

[@ladykhris5600]

I’m from Siargao but I am here in New Zealand. You have pronounced Alegria incorrectly and you have made me laugh when you are pronouncing “Magpupungko” (which is just 5 km away from our home). Don’t get offended as I think most foreigners are having a hard time saying those local beach names and we already get used to it. It’s alright, I’m glad that you really enjoyed exploring Siargao, my hometown.

[@ivygueco8224]

You were doing well until you compared it to Bali

[@thisawesomeworld]

how about the w$$ed there?

[@rahmv4877]

ATM at siargao 😂

[@sandrabc9922]

Kermit is owned by an Italian guy

[@Layput]

Seems like a lot of money to spend.

[@weslenkewich7359]

I came back from a week in Siargao. Beautiful island with many things to do. Correction to your video though, I have been to Raja Ampat and none of these locations come close to how epic Raja Ampat is. I suggest you see Raja Ampat in person. The island hopping tour is crazy touristy and I would personally not recommend it - its a couple islands covered in people. Also I would skip your #11 suggestion. It's a spot you can jump in a river that isn't that scenic, they only have a bamboo raft for instagram pictures only - its not functional and overrated.

[@dgcave2814]

Oh yes but just responsible for all the garbage

[@koyotecow7102]

Less videos of your face in your hotel room more video shots of the actual Philippines. Literally 50% of your video was just watching someone talk in a hotel room. Do better.

[@schmecktwieoma9625]

If you don't want this place to be destroyed by mass tourism, why do you make a video about it?

[@U_KCuF]

Yes.. long time ago siargao has no foreign tourist only local.. Its so peaceful.island and quite before but now am sad the island is already too popular. 😢 I hope the phil govt limit tourist to come there

Pronounce the island name correctly... its not sharigao, its shargao.

Well he tried so don't be such a bitch

You Pronounce it (sir-gaw). Easiest way.
