#SoutheastAsiaTravel #Siargao #Restaurants Three great restaurants in Siargao! 📍CEV: Ceviche & Kinilaw Shack I went for ceviche, Peruvian raw fish soup. It was a bit overwhelming at first, but it was delicious the more I ate! There was raw fish, and a slightly refreshing raw fish flavor...? 📍WHITE BEARD COFFEE SHOP This is a great place for brunch! I wanted to try the sausage because it was so delicious, but they said they were out of stock, so I had Spam instead. The cappuccino was delicious, too, and everything was great! It was so crowded that I had to wait. 📍Catangnan BBQ I went here on my last day, debating between Korean food and this place, but it was simply delicious. You choose the skewers you want, pay, and they'll re-cook them for you. It was a great way to enjoy a beer.

Maasin River If you’re looking for a serene escape from Siargao’s bustling surf spots, Maasin River is a dreamy jungle retreat where emerald waters, swaying palm trees, and a picturesque rope swing create the ultimate tropical vibe. Why Visit? - Iconic Rope Swing– Swing like Tarzan into the refreshing river, with a backdrop of lush palms—perfect for Instagram! - Crystal-Clear Waters– Swim or float peacefully in the calm, cool river surrounded by nature. - Bamboo Bridge & Scenic Views– Walk across a charming bamboo bridge and soak in the peaceful riverside atmosphere. - Less Crowded– A quieter alternative to Siargao’s busy beaches, offering a true off-the-grid experience. Best Time to Visit - Early Morning or Late Afternoon– Avoid the midday heat and enjoy softer lighting for photos. - Dry Season (March-October)– The water is clearest, and the current is gentle. How to Get There 1. From General Luna– Rent a motorbike (₱300-₱500/day) and drive south toward Santa Monica (~40 mins). 2. By Tricycle– Hire a roundtrip ride for ₱800-₱1,200 (negotiable). 3. Entrance Fee– ₱50 per person (locals may ask for a small donation for the swing). Tips for Visitors - Bring waterproof gear– Protect your phone/camera—you’ll want to snap pics on the swing! - Wear water shoes– The riverbed can be rocky. - Pack snacks & water– Only small local stalls are nearby. - Respect the locals– The swing is maintained by villagers; tips are appreciated. Final Verdict Maasin River is a must for nature lovers and adventure seekers. Whether you’re swinging into the water or just relaxing by the riverbank, it’s a magical slice of Siargao’s quieter side.
