Private Tours
Siargao's Best Private Tours Period!
Come with us to enjoy a day of nature and excitement on Siargao. We specialize in private tours for nature lovers who rather want to be on their own and far from crowds. We offer speed boat snorkel tours with professional equipment and experienced guide of more than 10 years in America and Asia. Looking for a small adventure? Join our hiking tour to a small, truly secret waterfall, hidden in a tropical forest that isn’t exposed to crowds or any development.
Before launching our tours in the Philippines, we offered tours in Puerto Rico for almost 10 years and we are fortunate to have been judged with more than 1500 5-star reviews across all platforms we operate on, giving us an impressive clean 5 star rating for our tours. We are excited to invite you to join us in the Philippines as well!
Premium Island Hopping Corregidor
For anyone looking for private island hopping and snorkeling on a speed boat, we recommend our tour to Corregidor Island that also includes Guyam and Naked island. On this tour you have the option to hike up the hills on Corregidor and let us guide you through one of the absolute best reef sanctuaries for snorkeling. This is the best alternative to the crowded and rather boring island hopping trips with pump boats.
Speed Boat Snorkel Tour
Do you want to experience Siargao’s marine life, the stunning turquoise water and a fun boat ride? Join us on our private speed boat and experience a 3 hour professional snorkel tour for non-swimmers as well. We will visit beautiful corals and will see countless colorful fish, such as clownfishes (Nemo) living in their anemone, tangs, puffer fish and often unexpected and exciting surprises.
Sohoton Speed Boat Adventure
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 with other tourists. Instead, come with us and truly explore Sohoton. We 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.
Secret Waterfall Tour
Follow us into the forest and get close to nature, hiking through streams and on beautiful small trails to a small, hidden waterfall on a fun adventure nature walk including big butterflies. For everyone who isn’t afraid to get wet and a bit dirty, just to refresh in the warm and clean fresh water at the waterfall at the end of the hike. Perfect for those who want to experience the real Philippines far from crowds.
Romantic Sunset Cruise
Unwind on our romantic sunset boat tour and relax in our speed boat while we cruise along the coast and into the mangroves, where we will explore the channels, listen to and watch the wildlife, go for a swim and make a stop at the secret beach. For sunset we will make our way to Guyam island after the crowds already left and will watch nature’s light show without crowds.
Premium Land Tour
Enjoy a safe and air-conditioned private land tour that loops around the island in a unique way, most people don’t get to experience. Unlike other tours, which are crowded and only drop you off in touristy locations, we picked a list of locations to visit that will guarantee a day packed with fun and activities, including some nobody else goes to that are well worth your visit.
Deserted Beach Island Hopping
This complete getaway tour starts with you arriving at a truly deserted beach on our speed boat, where the only humans we might see are fishermen going on with their daily business. You can stay as long as you like, explore, relax and have an entire beach just for yourself, but on this tour you will also have the option to spend your time on Corregidor Island and explore the best reef in the area with us. A hike up to the Sohoton hills is also included if you wish to see it! This tour is booked primarily by couples.

Shark Sightseeing
A once in a lifetime experience for everyone. Let us take you to a reef that’s a great spot to observe sharks cruising around in their natural habitat while snorkeling from our boat (actual image from the tour). The sharks are keeping a good distance from the group but are close enough to get a good view and a feeling of excitement. For safety reasons this tour can only take place when the surf is small.

Some of our reviews

Teresa Day
“Chris took us to some islands outside of the tourist swarm and we had an amazing time! We had coconut drinks on a pristine beach, tried conch for our first time, enjoyed a delicious BLT sandwich which Chris provided. Chris took us way-off the beaten path and into an authentic village on a pretty much un-touched island! We then went snorkeling with him on some gorgeous reefs, and saw a ton of beautiful fish and ocean life. He is very informative and specializes in taking tourists away from the hustle and bustle and gets you places most people will never see! I can’t say enough good things! If you have the opportunity to take a tour with Chris, get it booked before someone else does because you won’t forget it!”

Pierson Tan
“Chris is an awesome guide. He brought us to an amazing snorkeling spot and taught us a lot about the coral reef and the wildlife that we saw. He swam alongside us and took photos which he sent to us. The speedboat we were on was comfortable and not too loud like a Bangkla. Then we went to the mangroves which were really beautiful and peaceful. We saw a Filipino eagle. Then we headed to Guyam Island for the sunset. Chris didn’t rush us even though our 3 hours were up.”

Ellen Davidson
“Chris took us on a magical day. We saw the most beautiful beaches and his timing allowed us to feel like the only ones there. He is so knowledgeable about the area and was able to lead us through gorgeous snorkeling sites on coral reefs, a short hike to a magnificent view and a side trip to mangrove forests. He provided equipment, lunch and so much information. We couldn’t have been happier. Highly recommend!”
“

Ru Liu
“We took the island hopping tour with Chris and it was exactly what we were looking for in terms of peace and nature. Chris was very attentive and made sure my parents were okay and comfortable the whole time as my mom is a bit scared of the water. He is also very knowledgeable of the surroundings so we also learned a lot during our time with him. Will definitely check out his other tours when I’m back in Siargao!”

Kevin You
“I booked the 2 hour private speedboat snorkel tour for my girlfriend’s birthday and it was everything we wished for and more. Chris was very knowledgeable and showed us the best parts of the coral reef in Siargao. He was extremely flexible with the tour and even took candid shots for us for this special occasion. Chris was super personable and felt like more of a friend than a guide. I highly recommend splurging on this private tour. We not only had a 10/10 experience but also learned a great deal of ocean facts. Thank you so much again Chris and we hope to book another excursion soon!”

Ali St John
“Highly recommended. Chris was a legend and full of local knowledge. This was exactly what we needed as a family, some local culture, some beautiful snorkeling and a delicious sandwich. Thanks Chris, look forward to the next adventure.”

Sara Bjørnø
“We went on a great snorkeling adventure together with Chris. He has a lot of knowledge about corals, fish and is very focused on safety – so that you yourself can enjoy and have fun! He will show you the world underneath the sea that no one else on the island can, he has the greatest spots to show, and you are completely alone to enjoy it! I highly recommend the snorkeling tour!”

Michael Hall
“Chris provided an excellent tour, everything was well organized. Would recommend and have no hesitation in booking again”

Robyn R
“We did the 3 hour private snorkeling tour. Chris was amazing. Jeff has some mobility issues and we could not have managed without him. He was friendly, knowledgeable and so helpful. We highly recommend Chris and Shapeshifter Tours.”

Nova Giebson
“Excellent communication through WhatsApp . We booked an early morning tour to go snorkeling . Chris took us to an area no other tour boats go to; giving us an area to explore all to ourselves. Excellent equipment used plus interesting stories about the islands, mangroves, etc.”

Jose Rivera
“Had a brilliant afternoon snorkeling with our two kids (6 and 13), thanks to Chris’ flexible planning. He was kind enough to accommodate us at very short notice, taking us to two beautiful snorkel spots. The kids were thrilled, and even when the weather turned unexpectedly. We still had a blast. Loved being able to snorkel with no one else around, away from the crowds, and stay as long as we needed at each spot. We would love to come back and do the two day Sohoton tour, Chris clearly knows the area well and is passionate about making the experience worthwhile for guests. Thanks so much, this was the highlight of our stay”

Lu
“This guy is legend. He made for us unforgettable trip, just as we wanted, boat drive has amazing, snorkeling can’t be any better… I am very glad that we met, can wait to hear from you again.”

The Minimalist Plan
“Fun snorkeling trip! We felt in safe hands, good boat and friendly guy who runs the tours”

Kornon Dakobb
“Will def come back when my youngest is a little older. Wonderful and engaging people that go the extra mile. You can really tell when people pour their heart and soul into what they do. Thank you for everything!!!”

Hannah Ferens
“We had an awesome boat trip with Chris. He adapted to our needs when some storm clouds came rolling in. And we went back out in the afternoon for a stunning sunset boat trip, and his son came along too to play with our son! A perfect end to our last day on the island. And our morning snorkel was magical too. Very attentive and knowledgeable about the area. Safe and reliable.”

Hannah Ferens
“My partner and I did the private tour with Chris and fair to say, it was definitely the highlight of our siargao trip! Chris let us take our time to explore and relax so we were able to go at our own pace. The whole atmosphere was relaxed, adventurous and felt secluded away from the hustle of crowds. Chris was also very knowledgeable of the eco system so we could admire the vast coral and reef fishes at various snorkeling locations (even some secret spots). We got some awesome candid photos from Chris too. Thank you so much for this experience, highly recommend if you want a memorable Siargao experience! “
