5-day surf & chill on a budget
Daily Cloud 9 surf, island hopping, Sugba Lagoon, and the coconut road over five unhurried days — built around dorm beds and carinderia food.
Land and ease in

Van from Sayak and check in
Share an airport van — fair is ₱300 per person. Settle into a fan dorm near the Cloud 9 break to keep nightly costs low.

Walk the Cloud 9 boardwalk
Scout the break, watch the afternoon sets, and find your surf spot for tomorrow. Free.

Surf day at Cloud 9

₱200–₱350 / hr - 9:00am

Rest and a cheap café session
Chill out of the midday sun at a budget café — order a rice meal to keep it under ₱200.
₱120–₱200See options
Island hopping
- 8:00am
Naked, Daku & Guyam island hop
Share a boat with other travelers to split the cost. Confirm exactly what's included — the base boat rate plus island entrance and environmental fees can add 50–80%, so lock the full price before you board.
₱400–₱700 / paxSee options - 12:00nn
Daku Island lunch
Bring your own snacks and water, or buy grilled fish from the island cooks — agree the price before they start.
₱150–₱300 - Evening
Sugba Lagoon
- 7:00am
Day trip to Sugba Lagoon
Head to Del Carmen and take a shared boat into the lagoon for swimming and the diving board. Split the boat to lower the per-head cost, and agree the full price — boat, entrance, and any extras — before you leave.
₱500–₱900 / paxSee options - Midday
Packed lunch at the lagoon
Bring food and water from a sari-sari store in town — there's little to buy out there, and what there is costs more.
₱100–₱200See options - Evening
Coconut road and a slow exit
- 6:00am
Last dawn surf (optional)
One more session at Cloud 9 if the swell is up. Same fair board rate as before.
₱200–₱350 / hr - 9:00am
Coconut road to Maasin
Rent a scooter and cruise the palm-lined coconut road to the Maasin river palm tree before you leave.
Scooter ₱400–₱500 / daySee options - Afternoon
Last cheap meal and van out
Final carinderia lunch, then your shared van back to Sayak — fair is ₱300 per person.
₱80–₱150 + van ₱300 / paxSee options
Total estimate: roughly ₱4,400–₱6,850 per person over five days for food, surf, two boat trips, and transport — rooms on top (dorm ₱400–₱700 or fan room ₱800–₱1,500 per night). Booking dorms and splitting boats with others keeps this at the low end.
These estimates are indicative for one person and shift with season, group size, and how much you split with others. Bring enough cash — ATMs charge fees and can run out on weekends. Always confirm tour and boat prices, and exactly what's included, before you pay.
