The most common question travelers ask before landing in Siargao is always the same: how much does the shuttle cost? This is the complete, definitive answer — every route, every rate, in Philippine Peso and USD, with zero hidden fees and zero ambiguity. These are the official Shuttle Siargao prices for 2026.
The Philosophy Behind Our Pricing
Before we get into the numbers, it's worth explaining why Shuttle Siargao prices are fixed and published openly. In Siargao, transport pricing has historically been opaque — tricycle drivers quote different rates to different passengers, walk-in van drivers charge what they think they can get from a tourist arriving with luggage, and online platforms add undisclosed service fees on top of the transfer cost.
We operate differently. Every price you see on this page is the price you pay. No negotiation at the airport. No "high season premium." No platform surcharge added at checkout. No surprise fees when you arrive. If a price isn't on this page, it's because you need a custom quote — and we'll give you one instantly on WhatsApp.
This commitment to price transparency is core to what makes Shuttle Siargao different from every other option on the island. For a broader comparison with other services, read our detailed analysis: Shuttle Siargao vs GoSiargao Transit vs SiargaoVan — Which is Best?
Shuttle Siargao Prices — Airport Arrival Transfers
Shared Shuttle Prices (Per Person)
| Route | Prix PHP | Prix USD | Prix EUR | Durée |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Aéroport → General Luna | ₱350 | ~$6 | ~6€ | ~45 min |
| Aéroport → Cloud 9 | ₱350 | ~$6 | ~6€ | ~50 min |
| Aéroport → Malinao | ₱450 | ~$8 | ~8€ | ~55 min |
| Aéroport → Santa Fe | ₱450 | ~$8 | ~8€ | ~55 min |
The shared shuttle price is per person, all-inclusive, door-to-door. There is no additional charge for standard luggage. Surfboards are accommodated at no extra cost — declare them when booking. Children who occupy a seat are charged the full fare; infants on a parent's lap are generally not charged.
💡 À savoir : La navette partagée est le tarif le plus bas disponible pour un service fiable, climatisé et porte-à-porte à Siargao. Le tricycle peut sembler moins cher (₱800–₱1,500 négocié), mais le trajet est plus lent, le confort moindre, la place bagages très limitée, et le prix n'est pas fixe.

Private Van Prices (Per Vehicle)
| Passagers | Route principale | Prix PHP | Prix USD | Par personne (groupe plein) |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| 1–4 personnes | Aéroport → GL / Cloud 9 | ₱2,500 | ~$43 | ₱625 (~$11) pour 4 |
| 5–7 personnes | Aéroport → GL / Cloud 9 | ₱3,000 | ~$52 | ₱429–600 (~$7–10) |
| 8+ personnes | Aéroport → GL / Cloud 9 | ₱3,500 | ~$60 | À partir de ₱438 (~$8) |
| 1–4 personnes | Aéroport → Malinao / Santa Fe | ~₱2,800 | ~$48 | ₱700 pour 4 |
| 5–7 personnes | Aéroport → Malinao / Santa Fe | ~₱3,200 | ~$55 | ₱457–640 |
The private van price covers the entire vehicle — not per person. A family of 4 pays ₱2,500 total, not ₱2,500 per person. Infants and children are included in the passenger count for the vehicle tier but do not change the per-vehicle pricing.

Shuttle Siargao Prices — Port de Dapa
If you arrive by ferry at Dapa Port rather than by plane at Sayak Airport, we can arrange a transfer from the port to General Luna. Pricing for port transfers varies from airport transfer rates due to the different starting point and logistics. Contact us directly on WhatsApp with your ferry arrival time for a custom quote.

Is There an Extra Charge for Surfboards?
Non. Shuttle Siargao does not charge extra for surfboards. The vehicle price covers your boards, provided you declare them at booking so we send the right vehicle. For one or two standard shortboards on the shared shuttle, there's no issue. For multiple boards or coffin bags, we recommend the private van — not because of cost, but because of space comfort. Full details: Transfert Aéroport Siargao avec Planche de Surf.
Is There a Late Night or Early Morning Surcharge?
Non. Shuttle Siargao does not charge off-hours premiums. A 3 AM arrival transfer costs exactly the same as a noon transfer. A 4:30 AM hotel pickup for an early departure costs the same as a midday pickup. Our commitment is to consistent pricing, 24 hours a day. Full guide: Transfert Siargao de Nuit et Tôt le Matin.
How to Pay for Your Shuttle Siargao Transfer
Payment is always made directly to your driver on arrival. We accept:
- Cash (Philippine Peso): The most common payment method. Bring exact change if possible — drivers may not always have change for large bills (₱1,000+ notes).
- GCash: The leading Philippine digital wallet. Scan your driver's QR code on arrival. Works for both arrival and departure transfers.
What we do not accept: Credit cards, PayPal, international transfers, or any online payment. Shuttle Siargao never requires upfront payment of any kind. If a "Shuttle Siargao" booking channel is asking you for online payment before your trip, this is not us — please verify through our official WhatsApp number +63 939 656 7034.

The Group Math — When Private Is Cheaper Than Shared
One of the most common misconceptions is that the shared shuttle is always cheaper per person. For groups, the math often inverts:
| Taille du groupe | Shuttle partagé (total) | Van privé (total) | Économie avec le privé |
|---|---|---|---|
| 2 personnes | ₱700 | ₱2,500 | Partagé moins cher |
| 3 personnes | ₱1,050 | ₱2,500 | Partagé légèrement moins cher |
| 4 personnes | ₱1,400 | ₱2,500 | ₱275/pers. de plus → départ immédiat |
| 5 personnes | ₱1,750 | ₱3,000 | ₱250/pers. de plus → privé total |
| 7 personnes | ₱2,450 | ₱3,000 | ₱78/pers. de plus seulement |
| 8 personnes | ₱2,800 | ₱3,500 | ₱87/pers. de plus seulement |
For groups of 4+, the per-person price difference between shared and private becomes minimal — while the benefits of private (instant departure, no stops, privacy) are significant. Most groups choose private once they see this breakdown.
