Want to visit Sohoton in Bucas Grande and want to visit Siargao too? Why not do both?! This is exactly what my family did one July. This is a 5 days epic trip, made more memorable because on the 4th day of this holiday was my birthday! It was really awesome to celebrate a special moment in my life with my parents and sister while exploring some of the most beautiful islands in the Philippines.
Anyway, here is the breakdown of our trip activities and expenses too. Hopefully it can help with your own trip plans and budget.
Please see below the image version for easier viewing. Here is the actual spreadsheet: Bucas Grande and Siargao Itinerary and Budget
Tour and Accommodation Contacts
Here are the service providers who made that holiday one for the books:

Motorcycle with driver for hire for Magpupungko – there are so many motorcycles outside the resort, so feel free to deal/haggle with them. Alternatively, have Ocean 101 help you arrange the transportation

These were the expenses we incurred when we went on the trip, but time and varying economic conditions will affect the accuracy of the information displayed here.
