Surf, island hopping, the coconut road, and cheap local eats over three easy days — paced for a couple or barkada watching the budget.

Cheap rice meals to recover from the travel. Point-and-pick keeps it under ₱150 each.

₱120–₱180See options
Island hopping done right
- 8:00am
Naked, Daku & Guyam island hop
The classic three-island boat trip. Split a shared boat with the barkada to bring the per-head cost down. Ask exactly what's included — the base boat rate plus island entrance and environmental fees can add 50–80%, so agree on the full price before you board.
₱400–₱700 / paxSee options - 12:00nn
Lunch on Daku Island
Bring your own snacks and water to keep costs down, or buy a fresh grilled-fish lunch from the island cooks. Confirm the price before they cook.
₱150–₱300 - 5:00pm
Back before sunset
Return to town, rinse off, and grab a cheap turo-turo dinner. Easy night after a full day on the water.
₱80–₱150See options
Coconut road and a slow exit
- 7:00am
- 9:00am
Coconut road to Maasin & Sugba detour
Rent scooters and cruise the coconut road to the Maasin palm tree. If you have time and budget, ask about a Sugba Lagoon side trip — agree the boat price up front.
Scooter ₱400–₱500 / daySee options - 2:00pm
Last cheap lunch and pack up
One more carinderia meal, then arrange your shared van back to Sayak for the flight.
₱80–₱150 + van ₱300 / paxSee options
Total estimate: roughly ₱2,600–₱3,950 per person over three days for food, surf, the island hop, and transport — rooms on top (dorm ₱400–₱700, fan room ₱800–₱1,500 per night, cheaper split between two).
These estimates are indicative for one person and shift with season, group size, and how much you split with others. Bring enough cash — ATMs charge fees and can run out on weekends. Always confirm tour and boat prices, and exactly what's included, before you pay.
