Manila to Siargao by 2GoTravel!
𝗥𝗘𝗔𝗗: Starting this coming October 20, 2025, the first-ever direct sea voyage from Manila to Siargao Island will commence, led by passenger ship and ferry operator 2GO Travel. The vessel Saint Francis Xavier, a large ship with a capacity of 1,900 passengers, will be used for the route. It will have weekly trips, departing every Monday from Manila and arriving on the island the following day.
According to 2GO Travel, fares for the 28-hour voyage will start at Php 2,000 for Super Mega Value accommodation. The company added that passengers will be greeted with a welcome dance to showcase the warm hospitality and culture of the Filipino people.
Onboard amenities include a salon and spa, dining halls, café, souvenir stalls, nightly live band, karaoke rooms, arcade, and a clinic, offering an experience comparable to an international cruise ship at sea.
In addition, 2GO Travel is working closely with the Philippine Ports Authority, Maritime Industry Authority, and Philippine Coast Guard to identify other potential routes. For now, the company is focused on providing world-class service for the Manila-Siargao route.
Siargao Island is part of the province of Surigao del Norte and is renowned as the “Surfing Capital of the Philippines.” It attracts tourists with its world-class surfing spot Cloud 9, its white sand beaches, crystal-clear waters, the islands of Daku, Guyam, and Naked Island, the Sugba Lagoon, Magpupungko Rock Pools, and the warm welcome of its locals.
With the launch of a direct route to the island, an increase in local tourists eager to experience the beauty of Siargao Island is anticipated.
