    Only thing I disagree with is your recommendation on Kurvada. I was just there 2 weeks ago and it’s not cheap. I think social media and over recommendations to this place have many tourists come which of course increased in prices. There are better options food-wise that are not too hyped up by social media.

    I don't know how the island hopping in Siargao works but it's getting a bit weird because you're probably the Nth vlogger, since the Philippines reopening from lockdown, who had more than enough time to visit or explore the island but didn't vlog or feature the so called "Windows XP default desktop background", Siargao's Corregidor Island. Does the boat driver or maybe the tour guide have to be in a certain mood?
    Only 3 foreign vloggers have gone and featured that island this 2022 but 2 of the 3 are Siargao residents for almost 3 years now, and the 3rd just love Siargao, so they have been going there for years.
    But the Pamomoan and Kawhagan Islands are new and nice.

    • @Joelfriend

      Keep an eye out for promos. In my opinion Philippine Airlines is the better choice simply because they have really good customer support. You can actually talk to an agent on the phone if there are problems. If you fly the other major carrier (I'll leave nameless), they only have chatbots.

    Joel, you mentioned the need for water shoes -- in jumping off the sharp rocks into the sea. RESORT OWNERS SHOULD TAKE NOTE -- and use a small sledgehammer to FLATTEN most of the POINTED TIPS of the rocks -- to make rock surfaces a bit smoother to step on. This will make rock-jumping safer and more enjoyable for a lot of tourists.

    I’m from Siargao but I am here in New Zealand. You have pronounced Alegria incorrectly and you have made me laugh when you are pronouncing “Magpupungko” (which is just 5 km away from our home). Don’t get offended as I think most foreigners are having a hard time saying those local beach names and we already get used to it. It’s alright, I’m glad that you really enjoyed exploring Siargao, my hometown.

    I came back from a week in Siargao. Beautiful island with many things to do. Correction to your video though, I have been to Raja Ampat and none of these locations come close to how epic Raja Ampat is. I suggest you see Raja Ampat in person. The island hopping tour is crazy touristy and I would personally not recommend it - its a couple islands covered in people. Also I would skip your #11 suggestion. It's a spot you can jump in a river that isn't that scenic, they only have a bamboo raft for instagram pictures only - its not functional and overrated.
