What To Expect

San Benito Island Hopping Tour: Dahican Beach, Virgin Islands & Poneas Lake Escape

Step off the beaten path and into a paradise few have discovered. This private island-hopping tour through San Benito, Siargao’s most serene municipality, offers a rare chance to explore unspoiled islands, crystal-clear waters, and the hidden gem of Poneas Lake—all in one unforgettable day.

🌴 Dahican Beach
Begin your journey at Dahican Beach, a stunning stretch of soft white sand gently kissed by turquoise waters. With no crowds, noise, or developments, it’s the perfect place to breathe in island calm and enjoy the raw beauty of Siargao.

🏝️ Island Highlights
Kangkangon Island (local favorite)
Immerse yourself in nature on this untouched island surrounded by coral reefs. It’s ideal for swimming, snorkeling, or simply relaxing in peace.

Pagbasayan Island
A cultural treasure where you can appreciate local heritage, meet friendly locals, and enjoy the gentle rhythm of island life.

Kampayas Island
Known for its scenic landscape and tranquil shores, Kampayas is perfect for light adventure, snorkeling, and unwinding under the sun.

Poneas Lake (newly added must-visit)
Hidden deep within the island’s lush greenery lies Poneas Lake, a serene freshwater lake surrounded by hills and tropical forest. It’s a peaceful escape from the saltwater seas, offering a unique contrast to your beach adventure. Accessible via a short inland trek, the lake is a breathtaking secret spot perfect for swimming, photo ops, or just soaking in the silence of nature.

🛶 Flexible & Personalized Tour Experience
Since this is a private tour, you have the freedom to manage your own time and pace at each destination. There is no fixed order of stops because we must adjust based on the tide schedule (high and low tide) for your safety and to ensure the best experience possible.

Tour Time: 8:00 AM to 4:30 PM

Return to San Benito Dock: No later than 5:00 PM

🍱 Important Note: Bring Your Own Lunch
This tour explores remote, undeveloped areas with no restaurants or stores on the islands. For this reason:

Please bring your own packed lunch

Buy all your drinks, snacks, and water before boarding
Your guide can assist with a quick stop at a local store in General Luna or San Benito before departure. Enjoying a beachside picnic on a secluded island adds to the magic of this adventure!

🌊 Snorkeling & Safety
All islands offer excellent snorkeling opportunities thanks to their virgin coral reefs, but water activities depend on the weather and sea current conditions. Your guide will always prioritize your safety when deciding where and when snorkeling is possible.
