SIARGAO: Magpupungko Tide Pools

When the tide is out, natural tide pools of different depths and sizes emerges: for singles, for doubles, for family size and for the whole barangay!

Choose your pools wisely.

The place derived its name from the word "Pungko" means "to Sit" referring to the Giant Rock that seems to be sitting and balancing itself on top of a rocky land along the sea shore.

Best time to visit Magpupungko Rock Pools is at Low Tide.

HOW TO GET THERE:

Cebu Pacific Air flies to Siargao daily to/from Cebu and Manila.

Upon arriving Sayak Airport, Michelle and friends were waiting for us and drove us to the town of Pilar where the Tide Pools awaits.

Magpupungko Tide Pool entrance is only 50php.
