This is the number one question travelers ask before landing in Siargao — and it deserves a clear, complete answer. Here are the exact prices for every type of shuttle from Siargao Airport, with zero hidden fees.
Shared Shuttle Price — Siargao Airport to General Luna
The shared shuttle from Siargao Airport (Sayak Airport, IAO) to General Luna costs ₱350 per person in 2026. This price is fixed, all-inclusive, and covers:
- Door-to-door delivery to your hotel or Airbnb in General Luna
- Air-conditioned Toyota Hiace van
- Standard luggage (1 suitcase + 1 carry-on per person)
- WhatsApp confirmation before you land

Private Van Price — Siargao Airport to General Luna
If you prefer to travel with just your group, a private van is often the better value. The entire vehicle is yours — no other passengers, no extra stops, departure the moment you land.
Private Van Prices 2026 — Airport to General Luna
| Group Size | Total Price | Per Person (split) |
|---|---|---|
| 1–4 passengers | ₱2,500 | ₱625 each (group of 4) |
| 5–7 passengers | ₱3,000 | ₱429–₱600 each |
| 8 or more | ₱3,500 | from ₱438 each |
💡 Value comparison: A group of 4 friends splitting a private van pays ₱625 each — just ₱275 more per person than the shared shuttle. For that difference, you get instant departure, no extra stops, and complete privacy. Most groups find the upgrade more than worth it.
What About Tricycles?
Tricycles (motorized sidecars) are available at the airport exit. However, they come with several disadvantages:
- No fixed price — you must negotiate, and tourists are often quoted inflated rates (₱800–₱1,500)
- Very limited luggage space — one suitcase is often the maximum
- Slower journey — 60–75 minutes vs 45 minutes by van
- Exposed to weather — no air conditioning, open sides
- Not safe for large luggage, surfboards, or families with children
For most travelers, the shared shuttle at ₱350 is clearly the better choice.
Is There a Free Shuttle in Siargao?
Some resorts and hotels offer complimentary airport pickup for guests booking directly. This is relatively rare and usually only offered by higher-end properties. Always check with your accommodation before booking a third-party transfer — you don't want to pay for something you're already getting for free.
How to Pay for Your Shuttle
Shuttle Siargao accepts payment on arrival only. You pay your driver directly in:
- Cash (Philippine Peso): Most common. Bring exact change if possible — drivers may not always have change for large bills.
- GCash: Accepted by most of our drivers. Scan the driver's QR code on arrival.
No credit card, no PayPal, no online payment. This is standard practice for all legitimate airport transfers in Siargao.
