Sohoton Speed Boat Adventure
Experience THE ultimate Siargao tour! Forget the crowded pump boat trips to Sohoton where you will sit all day in a noisy, slow boat and only have a short time being processed at touristy spots with other travelers and see nothing but selfie sticks and drones. Instead, come with us and truly explore Sohoton far from the other tourists. We will spend all day exploring hidden beaches, snorkeling, visiting a cave, enter a deserted cove to spend time with the stingless jellyfish and cruise through nearly the entire Sohoton area that nobody else gets to see.
On this tour we will NOT visit the touristy areas where you will be processed in typical manner in Siargao, instead, you will be able to see the very best of untouched Sohoton that no one else gets to experience. On regular pump boats the trip takes a noisy 2 to 2,5h. On our speeed boat it will take about an hour.
Even though the touristy area of Sohoton with the more famous cove is not part of our trip, we CAN take you there if you want to see it, but it means we have to first stop at Socorro town on the way to get you registered and they will ask you for a long list of extra fees, such as “jellyfish fee” totalling about ₱3,000 more.
Once we arrive, we will set up base camp in a private resort with their very own cove where you can experience complete silence. From where we will head out to snorkel in the same cove and watch stunning flora and fauna and relax for a while in this incredibly relaxing and peaceful place, before we head out on the boat again to explore beautiful Sohoton, visit a cave and explore near untouched beaches from where we can see some of the local wildlife and swim with the stingless jellyfish or watch them from the boat. On the way, we will pass through incredibly beautiful waterways with crystal clear, turquoise water.
Once the afternoon approaches, the plans depend on which tour option you booked. Most guests chose the overnight tour, as it is only slightly more to cover accommodation and extra time spent there, but also offers the advantange to have more time to explore in the afternoon and most importantly to be able to head back early morning when the ocean is the calmest. For safety reasons, this is the ideal option.
If you chose the overnight option, we will have more time to visit another deserted beach to watch the sunset after we docked at a very authentic little water village to refill our gas tank and have a walk around, if you are curious to see how people live there. Before dark, we will bring you to your resort and at 7am we head back to Siargao island after breakfast.
If you booked the day trip, we will head back at 4pm and will experience the sunset from the boat just as we get back to Siargao.
Either option is a guaranteed adventure only a few lucky guests get to experience every month. Message us for more info and check out the gallery for an insight of what to expect. We look forward to create unforgettable moments with you!
