Your trip has three questions the guides cannot answer for you.
Which islands fit your dates? In what order do the boats really run? Where does the plan break? Lake Holon has been closed since 8 June 2026. If it was in your plan, you would have found out at the trailhead.
There is no direct flight from Manila to Siargao anymore. Cebu Pacific moved that route to Clark in March 2025, and Philippine Airlines dropped Clark to Siargao in May 2026. The leg changed twice in two years, and most guides still show the old one.
In my Dinagat video I say the scooter route is almost impossible, and that the boat is the way to go. Those are the calls that cost people a day.
We walk your route leg by leg, before you book a single flight.
You bring your dates, who is coming, and the islands you are considering. I tell you where the plan breaks, roughly what each leg costs, and the backup for each one. If one leg worries you most, we start there.
Good to know
- What should I bring?
- Your dates, or the weeks you could go. The islands you are considering, even if the list is messy. Who is coming, and a rough budget per person if you have one, flights excluded. And your questions.
- What time zone are the sessions in?
- Sessions run between 09:00 and 17:00 in the Philippines (Manila time). The booking steps show every time in your own time zone as well.
- How do I join?
- After you pay you get a calendar invite by email with the details and how to join.
- Can I move or cancel?
- Yes. More than 24 hours before the session you can move or cancel it for a full refund. Inside 24 hours the slot stays yours and you can move it once within 60 days.
- Is there a written plan afterwards?
- No. The session is the conversation, so bring something to take notes with. You book your own flights, boats and rooms, and I tell you where I would look.
