Siargao Surf Trip Guide for Women: 2 Weeks in the Philippines with Sea Her Rise 🌊

If you are dreaming about a surf trip in the Philippines, Siargao should be at the top of your list.

We spent two weeks exploring, surfing, and slowing down on this incredible island and it is exactly the kind of experience we create through Sea Her Rise surf trips for women.

If you are looking for a mix of surf, adventure, relaxation, and connection, here is exactly how we did it and how we can plan it for you.

Getting There: Manila to Siargao

We started with one night in Manila, which is the easiest way to break up the journey from Australia before heading to the island.

From there, it is a short domestic flight via Cebu into Siargao.

Where to Stay in Siargao: General Luna

We based ourselves in General Luna for the first 7 days and stayed at Buddha Surf Resort.

If you are planning a Siargao surf trip, this is the main hub and a great place to start.

Why General Luna works so well
Easy access to multiple surf spots for beginners to intermediate surfers
A huge range of cafes and restaurants
Affordable daily massages
A fun, social atmosphere without feeling overwhelming

Our days looked like this
Morning surf sessions
Coffee or smoothie bowls after
Massages or downtime in the afternoon
Sunset drinks followed by dinners out

If you are looking for Siargao surf accommodation for women, this area makes everything simple and accessible.

A Different Side of Siargao: Pacifico

After a week, we headed north to Pacifico and stayed at Bamboo Surf Resort.

This is where things slow right down.

Pacifico is perfect if you want
Quieter surf breaks
Fewer crowds
More nature and space

We surfed a few different spots up here, often with hardly anyone around. It feels more untouched and is ideal if you want to disconnect a bit more.

Things to Do in Siargao Beyond Surfing

One of the best parts about a Siargao island trip is that it is not just about surfing.

We spent time exploring and found some incredible spots around the island.

Highlights included
Underground caves
Clear rivers surrounded by jungle
Small local villages and quiet coastal roads

We hired tuktuk drivers to take us and all our boards around the island, which made it really easy and stress free, especially as we were not confident riding bikes.

If you are planning a Siargao adventure itinerary, adding a few days to explore like this is 100 percent worth it.
