Daku Island is the main stop in the Tri Island tour of Siargao. It is larger than Naked Island and Guyam. It holds a small village, a long shoreline, and a wide cluster of coconut trees. This gives you more space and more activities during your visit.
Beach Conditions
Daku Island serves as the usual lunch stop for island hopping tours from General Luna. The beach is wide and clear. The water near the shore stays calm for swimming. The shaded areas under the coconut trees make the island comfortable even during midday.
The Paluto Lunch
The paluto lunch is the central experience on the island. You buy seafood in the General Luna market before your trip. You bring the seafood to the island and local cooks prepare the food for a standard fee. You eat in a rented cottage near the beach while residents offer fresh coconut water.
Surfing and Relaxation Scenery
Daku has a reef break on the outer side of the island. Surfers rate it for beginner to intermediate riders depending on the season. Rides are long when conditions line up. The paddle out takes effort and the spot works best from September to December or during spring when the wind stays manageable.
The island gives you a simple beach day if you are not surfing. The water stays clear. The sand is wide enough for light games. You get clear views and reliable photo spots throughout the day.
Practical Travel Tips
It is important to bring cash because cottages usually cost around PHP 250 to 300 and paluto fees and drinks need small bills. Private boats pay an island fee of about PHP 100 per person, though many tours include this. Lunch crowds peak at noon so it helps to ask your boatman for an earlier or later stop if you want a quieter setup.
Daku Island gives you food, water activity options, and steady scenery in one visit. It is the most complete stop in the Tri Island route.
