Sail to the Surfing Capital: 2GO Travel Launches Weekly Manila-Siargao Trips on November 10

MANILA, Philippines – Getting to the world-famous waves of Siargao is about to become more accessible and affordable. 2GO Travel, the country's largest sea travel provider, has announced the launch of its new weekly direct route from Manila to Siargao starting November 10.

This new service, utilizing one of 2GO's largest and most modern vessels, the MV 2GO St. Francis Xavier, is set to offer a crucial sea link for both eager travelers and the island's growing economy.

Bridging Luzon and Mindanao

The move addresses the public's demand for a more budget-friendly alternative to flights, which can be limited and costly, especially during peak seasons.

"With 2GO now sailing directly to Siargao, we're not just expanding routes—we're expanding possibilities," said Francis Chua, 2GO Travel Business Unit Head. "This voyage is for every Filipino who has long wanted to experience Siargao without breaking the bank."

The new route is a strategic dual-purpose service, also creating a vital logistics bridge for the island. It will facilitate the more cost-efficient movement of essential goods such as food, fuel, and construction materials, directly supporting local businesses and the community. The service will also connect Siargao with Butuan and Ozamiz, expanding trade and passenger movement across Northern Mindanao.
