How to get around General Luna on a budget
Last updated Jun 2026 · by the SiargaoBudgetTravel local editor
From Sayak Airport, a shared van to General Luna is about ₱300 per person — that’s the fair rate. In town, get around by tricycle (₱20–₱50 for short hops) or habal-habal. Many travelers rent a motorbike for ₱350–₱500 a day. Always agree on the price before you ride.

Local tips
Share the airport van. Solo travelers can wait a few minutes for others heading to General Luna and split the ₱300/person rate instead of paying for a whole van.
Agree on the price first. With tricycles and habal-habal, always settle the fare before you get on — it avoids awkward surprises at the end.
Rent a motorbike for freedom. If you’re comfortable riding, ₱350–₱500/day beats paying per trip. Check the brakes and ask for a helmet.
Carry small bills. Drivers rarely have change for a ₱1,000 note, and ATMs can run dry on weekends.
- Agree on the full price before the trip starts
- For rentals paid by GCash, confirm the shop’s real name first
- Never hand over your only ID — a photo copy is usually fine
