Del Carmen Tourism Center

All tourist for island Hopping need to register and pay a certain amount here🤔

The place were nice and peaceful

Sooo to break this down.... I would give 5 star for the beauty of the trip. 2 stars for captain taking you there and telling you when to leave - even though you rent boat for yourself only so the decision should be yours. 1 star for information provided and payment method of the turist office. Turist office will sell you 1600php trip for 2 but afterwards they will inform you that there is turist tax another 150php for foreigners and 75php for citizens which could be included in trip fare right? Not even metioning that foreigners paying more than citizens is pretty RACIST anywhere in the world. Even when you ask the office what charges you could expect on this trip (50php table at sugba lagoon). Suddenly you land on the last island and they ask you another 300php to rent the table - no signage, no officials, no information from turist office just some guy standing there and asking you for more money. This location is so beautiful but ruined by MONEY HUNGRY locals who would charge you just for saying HI. I really really hope that the turist office in Siargao - Del Carmen selling Sugba Lagoon trips will read this review and consider changes of their approach to turist coming on their island to spend some nice time. PEACE!

Very organized and clean

well organized.
