“Small island with clear waters, white sandy beaches, few coconut trees, ideal for swimming, snorkeling, photography, and relaxation in nature.”
Guyam Island is a small, enchanting island situated near the coast of Siargao, and it is a consistent highlight of the popular island-hopping tours, frequently visited alongside Daku and Naked Islands.
The island features fine white sand beaches and strikingly clear turquoise waters, which are perfectly suited for swimming and snorkeling. Its primary appeals are its sense of peace, simplicity, and open panoramic views, making it an ideal location for photography enthusiasts and those seeking genuine relaxation away from the hustle of city life.
Visitors can engage in simple, restful activities: taking leisurely walks along the powdery white beach, swimming in the transparent waters, enjoying light snorkeling around the island's perimeter, or simply unwinding beneath the few coconut trees that offer limited but precious shade. While the island is small and lacks comprehensive amenities, it is considered safe and is well-integrated into the local tourism structure. Most visitors arrive via organized group tours or private boat hire from General Luna.
Guyam Island holds cultural significance for travelers who are seeking an authentic, natural, and serene experience of Siargao's pristine environment. Typically, a visit to Guyam is incorporated into a half-day or full-day trip that includes its neighboring islands, providing a balance of active swimming and tranquil scenic photography opportunities. The island beautifully encapsulates Siargao’s natural allure with its clear waters, soft white sand, and overwhelmingly tranquil atmosphere, allowing visitors a true chance to connect with nature and appreciate the simple, untouched charm of the archipelago.
