What should I pack when moving to Siargao?

Answer this Question

We asked people living in Siargao to list three things they wish they had brought and three they wish they had left behind. They responded...

"When moving to Siargao, you should pack lightweight and breathable clothing due to the tropical climate. Include swimwear, as the island is known for its beautiful beaches and surfing spots. Don't forget to pack a good quality sunscreen, insect repellent, and a hat to protect yourself from the sun. Bring along a sturdy pair of sandals suitable for walking on the beach and a pair of sneakers for exploring the island. Pack a rain jacket or umbrella, as the weather can be unpredictable. If you plan on surfing, you might want to bring your own surfboard and gear, although these can also be rented on the island. Pack your necessary toiletries, but keep in mind that Siargao is trying to be an eco-friendly island, so consider bringing biodegradable products. Don't forget to bring any necessary medications, as well as a basic first aid kit. Pack your important documents such as passport, driver's license, and any necessary visas or permits. Lastly, bring a good camera to capture the beauty of the island, and a reusable water bottle to stay hydrated," explained one expat living in Siargao, Philippines.
