How the Siargao Airport Shuttle Works — Step by Step
1
Pre-book on WhatsApp (recommended)
Send your name, flight number, arrival time, hotel name and passenger count to +63 939 656 7034. Takes 60 seconds. Your seat is reserved and your driver waits even if your flight is delayed.
2
Land at Sayak Airport (IAO)
One small terminal, one baggage carousel. Luggage arrives within 10–15 minutes. Walk straight out of the building — the whole process from touchdown to exit takes about 20 minutes.
3
Find your driver at the exit
Pre-booked: your driver holds a sign with your name. Walk-in: Toyota Hiace vans are parked to the right of the terminal exit. Drivers call destinations — "General Luna?", "Cloud 9?" — board the van for your area.
4
Wait while remaining seats fill (walk-in)
Walk-in shared shuttles wait for the van to fill before departing — typically 10–20 minutes after the main passenger flow. Pre-booked passengers depart with their reserved group on schedule.
5
The drive south to General Luna
Air-conditioned van through Siargao's countryside — coconut palms, rice paddies, small barangays. The driver stops at each hotel in sequence. Depending on how many stops before yours, total travel time is 55–70 minutes.
6
Drop-off at your hotel & payment
Driver stops at your hotel entrance. Pay ₱350 in cash (PHP) or GCash directly to your driver. No receipt required, no extra fees. Your island adventure starts here.

⚠️ Peak season (August – May): Siargao receives its highest tourist volume during this period. Shared shuttle vans fill within minutes of each flight landing. Walk-in availability is not guaranteed. Pre-booking on WhatsApp before you fly is the safest approach.
What about my luggage and surfboard?
Standard shared shuttles accommodate 1 large suitcase + 1 carry-on per person in the rear luggage area. Extra large bags may require some creative stacking — drivers are used to it. For surfboards, space on a shared shuttle is limited and depends on how many other passengers have boards. If you are traveling with boards, a private van is strongly recommended and costs nothing extra for the boards themselves.
Hotels and resorts covered by the shared shuttle
The shared shuttle covers the main General Luna tourist corridor and Cloud 9. This includes the majority of popular hotels, resorts, villas and Airbnbs in the General Luna area. Some addresses on the outskirts may require a short tricycle ride from your drop-off point — confirm with us when you book. Areas not covered by shared shuttle: Burgos, Pacifico, and remote northern Siargao — private van only for these destinations.

What Passengers Say About the Shuttle
★★★★★
"Booked the shared shuttle the evening before through WhatsApp. The response was instant, and my driver was literally the first person I saw when I walked out of the airport. ₱350 is nothing for the convenience — worth every peso."
Léa D. — Paris, France · August 2026
★★★★★
"I didn't pre-book and my afternoon flight had a lot of passengers. The van filled up quickly but the ride was smooth. Dropped at my resort door. Simple, affordable, exactly as advertised."
Tom M. — Australia · September 2026
★★★★★
"Our group was 5 people so we went with the private van instead of shared — barely more expensive per person than the shuttle and we went direct without stopping anywhere. Great call."
