I am Indonesian, in my opinion foreign tourists should go to Siargao because Siargao is better than Bali, and a comfortable place, Filipino people are very kind and friendly,Actually, Indonesia and the Philippines support each other in everything, why is that because Indonesia and the Philippines have similarities and are compatible in everything,For example: in Indonesia there are many Filipinos who are famous artists in Indonesia such as "Leo consul" Cristian Bautista'gwen Zamora and maribeth pascua Legendary singer.
You know better if you're Indonesian that Indonesia has far more better uncrowded surf destinations than this overhyped island.

Siargao now has a proper USA trained doctor across from Cloud 9 in the Pops District building. Dr. Boyd is 5star highly reviewed and worked for all the major carriers in the states such as Kaiser, St. John’s etc… New sheriff in town!
The locals are really doing their best to keep out restaurant chain corporations and real estate developers. Its a losing stand as eventually, the most money will always win. Enjoy the rawness while you can as that sad day will eventually come.
Overrated island. The island will be overdeveloped in the next 5 years..everybody trying to hype it to the max while aside from surf it has not much to offer. Been there first 8 years ago and last time 5 years ago..was already shockes how much they build over a span of 3 years..how much more the last 5 years.
As a Filipino and have visited both Siargao and Bali, the differences would show that Bali is more developed than Siargao as it has maybe a 50 year jump start in its development, probably from the time of WW2. Siargao was still an undiscovered island then, was unheard of and very underdeveloped maybe about 20-25 years ago. (I've been to Siargao somewhat 20 years ago and it was real rough at that time, only one cellphone tower working, many roads were not yet paved.) Bali at present definitely has more modern infrastructures than Siargao but the vibes of each are different. Bali is more of upscale while Siargao caters to the backpacker types and adventurers. (Although there are several 5-star resorts in Siargao for those with more money to spend.) Siargao is a smaller island so it cannot match Bali in nature sites to offer. You have to travel to neighboring islands to see better nature sites that are even better than Bali, but that's another story. As for the price and cost of living, Siargao used to be cheap, but it's the tourists that drove up the prices in Siargao as the demand became higher than supply. The nature sites in Siargao are more natural than Bali and tourists prefer it that way, still underdeveloped, but very accessible. Tourist that goes to Siargao do not want it overdeveloped like Bali that why many chose Siargao as they want the natural beauty and roughness of Siargao for the moment. The party vibes and food in Siargao, aside from touring, island hopping, actively engaging in sports activities and surfing, are also attractions that tourists like, especially the night life beach parties. Siargao has a singular social community interaction thing, and everyone can just socialize in a nomadic way and do as they please as long as it's not against the law. Because Siargao is a small island, everyone can just rent a motorbike, travel and experience all the island has to offer and it's not unusual to find tourists in the most unusual places also enjoying Sarago's modest natural sites as almost everywhere in Siargao is generally safe for everyone. (I was once informed by the locals that they zealously would guard Siargao against would-be terrorists and other unwanted invaders to protect their livelihood, environment and their tourism.) If you watch other vloggers' videos of those who are based in Siargao, you will see that they featured more and more site developments in Siargao catering to the likes of tourists. Siargao is like a rough diamond but will likely catch up to Bali, albeit be even more expensive, alas..
@@dominadorjr.abalos126 it still needs to be develop especially in healthcare and better roads for safety not only for tourists but also for the locals
As a pilipino I proved you’re wrong Bali is man made island, while siargao is natural beauty unlike Bali is like an individual wanted more buttocks, surgery 😂, real facts
Haha,, Bali is Bali noplace like Bali, Mentawais could put this overhyped by filipino siargao into shame, small9 is no rival to Hollow trees, Greenbush, No Kandui, Bank vaults, rifles of mentawais. And with way better beaches than this siargao. Don't even dare to dream small9 is on the same level with Padang-padang and Bombie of Bali.
There is starlink available now. 30kphp units 2700 php 40usd monthly a household package. I dont know how much in siargao. This is satellite internet with 200mbps. Its really good in remote place like siargao. Many small restaurants and small resorts wont avail this for sure. Dependent on wifi and cheaper internet provider which give bad service obviously.
Both islands are incredible with their own unique vibes! 🌴 Bali is perfect for those seeking vibrant culture and lively spots, while Siargao offers a more laid-back, surf-friendly paradise! 🌊✨

Yup I've had it, just take care of ur things in Siargao, the place is a little bit crazy, but I love the craziness of their storm. Surfing with a storm, well if u love to ride w/ d titanic wave of d pacific, real adventure or maybe suicidal, I say. "EPIC" 😱✌️🐷🍻🇺🇸🧡🇵🇭🏄♀️👍
I did not go to Siargao and Bali. I am from the Phil and I heard Bali first than Siargao, Therefore Bali is developed long time ago than Siargao, Siargao is just beginning when tourism is just starting. I am looking forward for the development of Siargao and well organized
@@ErwinSyWhat he means is no matter what you said about Bali. Bali is distinctive, and known as Bali as it is, no need for comparison nor reference. Nowhere else you could find these days, an island where the traditional culture still strongly evident. From temples, architecture, craftsmanship of Balinese, even kids still practicing their distinctive traditional musical instruments and dances. Go see this footages of Mentawais below, and tell me what makes people should go to Siargao if they feel Bali is too touristy while there's uncrowded Mentawais within Indonesia with much better beaches and far superior surf waves than Siargao.

Now see Footages of Impossibles, Padang-padang, Racetrack, and the bombie surfspots of Bali. And tell me do you still think Siargao has surfspot to compete with those Bali's surfspots? We're not talking about old temples here, we both already know about that.
Comparing Siargao to Bali is not an equitable proposition, as Bali has long been acknowledged and become a favored destination among diverse individuals seeking the island atmosphere in Southeast Asia. However, Bali's popularity has resulted in both the afflictions of over tourism and the accumulation of waste, consequences of excessive exposure. As a Filipino, I am averse to witnessing Siargao transform into a replica of Bali, overwhelmed by an influx of tourists, secularism, overcrowding, ceaseless revelry, and the inevitable emergence of opportunistic behavior encompassing both the local populace and visitors. I earnestly desire for Siargao to retain its intact, untarnished allure as an unsullied and pristine frontier in the Philippine archipelago.
It very much depends on what you prefer. You can still go to Bali if that's your dream destination but then maybe go to Uluwatu, which still has more that surfer vibe, which Canggu had 10 years ago. If you want to be on a dream tropical island with good food, great community and beautiful nature then I'd recommend Siargao.
Go to mentawais instead, believe me it's way better than siargao, the waves, the beaches. Go see footages of these spots: Hollow trees, greenbush, Rifles, No Kandui, Bank vaults, nothing in the whole Philippines wave that good, and mentawaians are truly humble people, not the one who pretend to humble. 😊😊😊
@@simplyyank1119 I have been there, already. My gosh! I had food poisoning there. I don't want to go there ever again. One of the worst experiences in my life.
@@Spy-hp8ki Hahahah,, such a liar,,you're filipino,,and always doing this kind of smearing campaign about Bali. Mentawais blew siargao away, that's fact, ask that to any pros,,and feel free to prove me wrong, this place has nothing to compare with waves of mentawais and don't even dare to dream to be comparable to waves of uluwatu like padang-padang and the bombie. It's just filipino think this small9 is world famous,, hahah. It has nothing in store to be comparable with Bali, mentawais does have.
Bali and Siargao are very different from each other, Siargao is more natural than Bali, it is like comparing an infant to a father, Siargao is Younger and Bali is old, Bali was Bali when the island of Siargao was unheard of when it was just a lonely island in the Philippines, that is why amenity wise you can say Bali is better, but you see foreigners and alike, many of them choose Siargao over Bali because of it's roughness beauty of nature, and some foreigners prefer it that way as they say it's more satisfying to stay feeling the sensation of being free nature tripping in this remote island. 🤓🤓🤓
@@komentarista5759 if it is your assumption so be it! If I say lonely island, I say it was dude! Sleepy and lonely I think it's both! You don't need to correct me, dude! Do you think you're getting smarter the way you correct my remark? 🤭🤭🤭
If it’s raw island vibe where you can outpour and leave your worries and stress and just be with a community that will accept and drizzle you with love then go to Siargao. It will change your perspective. You’ll be more in tune with yourself and your surrounding. ❤😊

How easy is it to communicate with locals? If you are having issues can you communicate effectively? For example if you had to see a doctor at need directions etc.
Good one! In Siargao it's not problem at all, almost all of the locals I spoke with spoke very good english, some even better than me I would say! In Bali you could communicate effectively mostly, some speak good english but some only the very basic ones. But I honestly never had a major communication problem in both destinations! 🤗
*Bali is the more developed version of Siargao but both are equally beautiful. It now depends on how a person prefers an ambience, if more tropical islandy go for Siargao but if one prefers more tropical foresty go for Bali. Siargao have higher cost of living than Bali because most of their daily products for daily necessities comes from the mainland and some are imported. Majority of space for rents are also owned by foreigners mostly Europeans thus the higher rents.*
You must know Bali, for decades, it already a tourist spot and it is a big island. You haven't seen yet the best of Philippines tourist island like El Nido, Amanpulo, etc. You have so many options to chose from from low to high costs. See Palawan Island which is chosen by tourist asso. as the best and safe, now almost a decade bagged the title as the best Island resort., from problems of earthquakes, storms or floods. Check first for your convenience.
ph gov is trying to push internet connectivity there will be a starlink type competitor in the rural areas, local brand called agila. competition is always a good sign with the quality and price war we'll see this year.
Bali is where the biggest surf wave in entire southeast asia located, named "the bombie Uluwatu". Not only that, Bali also boast the most consistent surf condition in the entire southeast asia that hit 99℅ in uluwatu or ultra consistent. To say siargao is the next Bali in term as surf destination is a scam. Mentawais is waaaay way way better less crowded option for surf destination other than Bali. Both in Indonesia. Siargao is not on the same level with those 2 as surf destination. Just facts, overhypes don't give you ocean swells.

Many international artices and travellers observations says that Bali is very saturated due to mass tourisms and become cheaper because of lots of people and tourists. The quality of toirism in Boracay though a little high in price is much better. We need to understand that in the previous presidency sometime in 2019 due to pollutions and over tourism Boracay was closed for more than 6 months for a massive clean up and putting things in order that is why when it opened it is now being called new Boracay this did not happened to more popular tourist destinations in any ASIAN country. With that move of the governmrnt there was a similar move to other tourist beach destinations in the Philippines like Siargao and others that is why tourists nowaday enjoyed a much cleaner places and especially beach destinstions.
Bali is distinctive, that's why it's popular and at the same time also makes it crowded. Let's be honest, if it's only about beaches and beaches alone, you can get that everywhere. That's exactly the reason why Boracay couldn't raise it game to the same scale like Bali and Phuket. Here's the clue, there's an island in Indo, named Kei Kecil with Ngurbloat beach and Pantai Madwaer with sands as fine as fluor that could blow any beaches that boracay could offers plus there's no slum and ugly town to sore your eyes.
What kind of honesty is that? Surely you know nothing yet dare to comment about Bali. Amed, Tulamben, Menjangan and Penida are some well known dive spots of Bali. You can even expect to see Mola-Mola & Mantas in Penida. Sheesh.
@@mr.supermanbatman6894Stop watching only Pinoy baiters vlogs, there are many white sand beaches in Bali, in fact every beach in uluwatu and Nusa Dua are all white, same with Nusa lembongan+ceningan+penida. Besides, what exactly makes if not Bali then it should be Siargao for surf destination in Southeast Asia, it doesn't has thousands of distinctive temples like Bali afterall?? Siargao waves is like nothing if compared to Mentawais of Indo and Mentawais has muuuch better beaches, so what's the biggie??😅😅😅
@@mr.supermanbatman6894Polls by OFW,,of course,😂😂😂,,53K tourists for Siargao last year, only with 1% out of 6 millions tourists vote for Bali or Phuket it would be so easy to beat that number, and that with assumption that all of those 53K tourists is vote for Siargao. Wait, do you really believe that Polls?😂😂😂. Mentawai doesn't need any rigged Polls, yet even Anthony Kiedis of RHCP spent his holiday there recently, and it's frequented by famous surfers, you name it, Kelly slater, Filippe Toledo, Gabriel Medina, so many others. While in Siargao how many WSL CT surfers ever made surf footages in Siargao? B-I-G Z-E-R-O😂😂😂😂😂
Pls dont use "THAN" when clearly u havent seen other countries up close or flown there. Napaghahalataang di international traveler. Mas mdaming bansa mas maganda sa Pinas.
I dont think local would steal your things because that island is small and local will never ruined their reputation and destroying the trust of tourists. I can say more on tourist too either local from neighboring from different island.
Can’t compare them both different country, different culture. Timeline of development are different. PH slowed down in development for decades but is catching up. But personally, I prefer it slower because vibe change once developed.
Don't look the beauty of island just look the surrounding and people, in short go to siargao we know how to communicate with the tourist of course having a hospitable attitude and we know how to speak in English fluently 😎 I heard to many lot of tourist in bali the people out there they didn't know how to communicate with the tourist because they can't even speak in English and i think if I were them I'm so lonely HAHHA
why compare? They are totally different. In general, Bali attracts more people interested in old culture and traditions, and Siargao appeals to some modern Western lifestyle tourists.
The problem is why if Bali is crowded, then it should be Siargao for surf destination in Southeast Asia?it doesn't offers unique temples or any kind of architecture afterall😂😂. There's Mentawais with multiple time better surf waves and beaches compared to Siargao,good luck if you want to compare your cloud9 to HT, Bankvaults, and No Kandui etc of The Mentawais.😅😅
@@daarkke Please tell me if I said something wrong, you could check any of these surfspots in the Mentawais: HT, Bankvaults, No Kandui, Greenbush, Rifles, Telescopes, Ebay, Rag's right, Rag's left, Scarecrow, Playgrounds, etc, put your cloud9 among those waves and let's see😂😂😂. You can't moaning crowded blabla about The Mentawais, it's way more tranquil than Siargao. What I'm trying to say is, there's uniqueness about Bali that make Bali as it is today, for better or worse, and whenever you want to deny that, just see footages of Mentawais and please compare that with Siargao. Just stop projecting as if other than Bali there's only Siargao to surf in Southeast Asia, there's tons better places to surf compared to Siargao.😂😂😂
@@daarkke😂😂😂Just telling tho, There's Mentawai, Nias, etc for less crowded surf destinations with better surf than Siargao for sure. There's no such Bali vs Siargao it's way too different. I would say you're scamming people by telling Siargao is comparable with Uluwatu of Bali. For the context : Nias and Mentawais never so obsessed about the comparison with Bali, and please be my guest go check their surfspots, I would say no one will talk about cloud9 that much if it's happened in Indo, just fact.
That's just basic economy. They are trending to tourists now, so more paying customers. Personally, Catanduanes and Samar are better options than Siargao - These two islands have more of everything at a way cheaper price (surfing, hiking, diving, beach, caves) minus the night party and hip cafe/restos, but they makeup with more cultural experiences for having bigger local festivals (if you visit in the right time), more towns with richer history - which to me are more authentic experiences.
according to you: Bali is cheaper than Siargao. stealing more prominent in Siargao than in Bali. Siargao more typhoon prone than Bali. Siargao more community oriented, down to earth authentic people than in Bali. In short, if you're a loner happy to be by yourself go to Bali but if you like being with people go to Siargao
Don't take her opinion as fact, clearly she knows nothing about Balinese culture. Bali is one of the most structured ethnicities in Indo, they have very advanced community based ceremonies. Even temples and all of ceremonies involved around any particular temple is structured and involves all part of the community (remember, Bali is one of the last few in the world where traditional dances, traditional musical instruments still played on daily basis and being taught to childrens) From family temple, to banjar, to their mother temples all have their own scheduled ceremonies involving the communities. Calling Siargao is more community based than Bali is a massive overshoot. Maybe she has her own term of community based things, (gathering and chit-chat in cafes is the only community occasion according to her term, perhaps).
@@m.-c011-y6g But on the side note, i do think this place is massively overexaggerated by Filipinos to the point they would shittalking about Bali in so many vlogs that try compare the two. I mean, Mentawais is soooo soooo much better than this place and also uncrowded (yes, Bali is crowded) , but Mentawaians is chilled never talk this or that about others places. I don't know if they're aware or not that as a surf destination siargao is mediocre for beaches and surfing waves consistency and quality.
some of my diginomad friends are there. Better facilities and lots of food options compared to siargao but definitely more touristy than Siargao.@@AmelieSatzger
Both places are so stunning!!! Just be ready with your expenses,but the factor if you are traveler you have to consider all this things bec.the certain goal is to make memories bec.time will never rewind..cheers🎉❤❤
Agree, but hey even if you want to, it's not an easy task to achieve the numbers like Bali & Phuket (for better or worse) not even your Boracay get the numbers. But yeah better keep low key, like Mentawais, put surfing tax per-short period (US$128 per-15 days if surfing as we speak). I don't think Siargao apply the surfing tax by intention to keep it low key ya? it's just not yet that popular, just in early stage of mass tourism if I see some footage of catangnan bridge.😊😊
For foreigners taking vacations wherever.. first you need to have an open mind. Leave your comfort zone behind. Pack a lot of patience. When travelling, dont complain the internet is slow of course you're not inside your home. Just because you have the money you feel so entitled. You feel that everybody surounds you needs to conform to your standards. Otherwise stay on your own country. Imagine Bali and Siargao closes for foreigners. What a world it would be.

Bali is good for resort, there are many luxury resort ...other things is about affordable cost of living....but as indonesian, i recomend to visit bali only,there are many island worth visited...like Sumba, Komodo island, Raja ampat papua,Taka bonerate ,Borneo jungle etc...
Hi..beautiful lady..for me Phil is better..because of the people can speak English easy to communicate not boring,loving,kindness,warm welcoming,helpful,smiling,in everything,pluz pilipinos is no.1 texting in the world in social media,friendly people,in you have more subscribers..Soo goodluck..we understand your opinion,👍✌🏽✌🏽✌🏽♥️♥️♥️🇵🇭🇵🇭🇵🇭..your welcome.sis it's more fun in the Phil..

Thank you so much for these comparisons. Loving my country the PH, even more. Watching your video here in WA, USA.
Siargao now has a proper USA trained doctor across from Cloud 9 in the Pops District building. Dr. Boyd is 5star highly reviewed and worked for all the major carriers in the states such as Kaiser, St. John’s etc… New sheriff in town!
siargao is unique and authentic ..no buildings ..no pollution 😆..
Siargao has no culture...and authorities are slowly turning it into a modern city.
The locals are really doing their best to keep out restaurant chain corporations and real estate developers. Its a losing stand as eventually, the most money will always win. Enjoy the rawness while you can as that sad day will eventually come.
Overrated island. The island will be overdeveloped in the next 5 years..everybody trying to hype it to the max while aside from surf it has not much to offer. Been there first 8 years ago and last time 5 years ago..was already shockes how much they build over a span of 3 years..how much more the last 5 years.
@@rl8571very true. Sometimes, Capitalism is cancer.
@@xandroid87siargao is too gentrified
As a Filipino and have visited both Siargao and Bali, the differences would show that Bali is more developed than Siargao as it has maybe a 50 year jump start in its development, probably from the time of WW2. Siargao was still an undiscovered island then, was unheard of and very underdeveloped maybe about 20-25 years ago. (I've been to Siargao somewhat 20 years ago and it was real rough at that time, only one cellphone tower working, many roads were not yet paved.) Bali at present definitely has more modern infrastructures than Siargao but the vibes of each are different. Bali is more of upscale while Siargao caters to the backpacker types and adventurers. (Although there are several 5-star resorts in Siargao for those with more money to spend.) Siargao is a smaller island so it cannot match Bali in nature sites to offer. You have to travel to neighboring islands to see better nature sites that are even better than Bali, but that's another story. As for the price and cost of living, Siargao used to be cheap, but it's the tourists that drove up the prices in Siargao as the demand became higher than supply. The nature sites in Siargao are more natural than Bali and tourists prefer it that way, still underdeveloped, but very accessible. Tourist that goes to Siargao do not want it overdeveloped like Bali that why many chose Siargao as they want the natural beauty and roughness of Siargao for the moment. The party vibes and food in Siargao, aside from touring, island hopping, actively engaging in sports activities and surfing, are also attractions that tourists like, especially the night life beach parties. Siargao has a singular social community interaction thing, and everyone can just socialize in a nomadic way and do as they please as long as it's not against the law. Because Siargao is a small island, everyone can just rent a motorbike, travel and experience all the island has to offer and it's not unusual to find tourists in the most unusual places also enjoying Sarago's modest natural sites as almost everywhere in Siargao is generally safe for everyone. (I was once informed by the locals that they zealously would guard Siargao against would-be terrorists and other unwanted invaders to protect their livelihood, environment and their tourism.) If you watch other vloggers' videos of those who are based in Siargao, you will see that they featured more and more site developments in Siargao catering to the likes of tourists. Siargao is like a rough diamond but will likely catch up to Bali, albeit be even more expensive, alas..
Thank you for this very personal insight!! ♥️ Can agree to 100% to what you say! 😊
Siargao doesn't necessarily need to developed commercially, because they have to maintain and preserve the island
@@dominadorjr.abalos126 it still needs to be develop especially in healthcare and better roads for safety not only for tourists but also for the locals
As a pilipino I proved you’re wrong Bali is man made island, while siargao is natural beauty unlike Bali is like an individual wanted more buttocks, surgery 😂, real facts
Haha,, Bali is Bali noplace like Bali, Mentawais could put this overhyped by filipino siargao into shame, small9 is no rival to Hollow trees, Greenbush, No Kandui, Bank vaults, rifles of mentawais. And with way better beaches than this siargao. Don't even dare to dream small9 is on the same level with Padang-padang and Bombie of Bali.
There is starlink available now. 30kphp units 2700 php 40usd monthly a household package. I dont know how much in siargao. This is satellite internet with 200mbps. Its really good in remote place like siargao. Many small restaurants and small resorts wont avail this for sure. Dependent on wifi and cheaper internet provider which give bad service obviously.
Both islands are incredible with their own unique vibes! 🌴 Bali is perfect for those seeking vibrant culture and lively spots, while Siargao offers a more laid-back, surf-friendly paradise! 🌊✨

@@ErwinSyWhat he means is no matter what you said about Bali. Bali is distinctive, and known as Bali as it is, no need for comparison nor reference. Nowhere else you could find these days, an island where the traditional culture still strongly evident. From temples, architecture, craftsmanship of Balinese, even kids still practicing their distinctive traditional musical instruments and dances. Go see this footages of Mentawais below, and tell me what makes people should go to Siargao if they feel Bali is too touristy while there's uncrowded Mentawais within Indonesia with much better beaches and far superior surf waves than Siargao.

Now, what say you?
Now see Footages of Impossibles, Padang-padang, Racetrack, and the bombie surfspots of Bali. And tell me do you still think Siargao has surfspot to compete with those Bali's surfspots? We're not talking about old temples here, we both already know about that.
Comparing Siargao to Bali is not an equitable proposition, as Bali has long been acknowledged and become a favored destination among diverse individuals seeking the island atmosphere in Southeast Asia. However, Bali's popularity has resulted in both the afflictions of over tourism and the accumulation of waste, consequences of excessive exposure. As a Filipino, I am averse to witnessing Siargao transform into a replica of Bali, overwhelmed by an influx of tourists, secularism, overcrowding, ceaseless revelry, and the inevitable emergence of opportunistic behavior encompassing both the local populace and visitors. I earnestly desire for Siargao to retain its intact, untarnished allure as an unsullied and pristine frontier in the Philippine archipelago.
that's why it got wiped out in an unusual storm, if they're doing unGodly things in that island, like prostitution, pedophilia, promiscuity ..
@@marites4 That's exactly the results if the local government will not control the influx of over tourism and the mushrooming of infrastructures.
I would like to visit Bali. But, being a very much more touristy destination, I'd settle for Siargao.
You don’t settle for Siargao, you go to Siargao
It very much depends on what you prefer. You can still go to Bali if that's your dream destination but then maybe go to Uluwatu, which still has more that surfer vibe, which Canggu had 10 years ago.
If you want to be on a dream tropical island with good food, great community and beautiful nature then I'd recommend Siargao.
Go to mentawais instead, believe me it's way better than siargao, the waves, the beaches. Go see footages of these spots: Hollow trees, greenbush, Rifles, No Kandui, Bank vaults, nothing in the whole Philippines wave that good, and mentawaians are truly humble people, not the one who pretend to humble. 😊😊😊

I’m still impressed that you went there alone 🔥🇵🇭 hope you come back again…!
Bali and Siargao are very different from each other, Siargao is more natural than Bali, it is like comparing an infant to a father, Siargao is Younger and Bali is old, Bali was Bali when the island of Siargao was unheard of when it was just a lonely island in the Philippines, that is why amenity wise you can say Bali is better, but you see foreigners and alike, many of them choose Siargao over Bali because of it's roughness beauty of nature, and some foreigners prefer it that way as they say it's more satisfying to stay feeling the sensation of being free nature tripping in this remote island. 🤓🤓🤓

How easy is it to communicate with locals? If you are having issues can you communicate effectively? For example if you had to see a doctor at need directions etc.
Good one! In Siargao it's not problem at all, almost all of the locals I spoke with spoke very good english, some even better than me I would say! In Bali you could communicate effectively mostly, some speak good english but some only the very basic ones. But I honestly never had a major communication problem in both destinations! 🤗

*Bali is the more developed version of Siargao but both are equally beautiful. It now depends on how a person prefers an ambience, if more tropical islandy go for Siargao but if one prefers more tropical foresty go for Bali. Siargao have higher cost of living than Bali because most of their daily products for daily necessities comes from the mainland and some are imported. Majority of space for rents are also owned by foreigners mostly Europeans thus the higher rents.*
*I'm British American🇬🇧🇺🇲 and Siargao is definitely better*
You must know Bali, for decades, it already a tourist spot and it is a big island. You haven't seen yet the best of Philippines tourist island like El Nido, Amanpulo, etc. You have so many options to chose from from low to high costs. See Palawan Island which is chosen by tourist asso. as the best and safe, now almost a decade bagged the title as the best Island resort., from problems of earthquakes, storms or floods. Check first for your convenience.
ph gov is trying to push internet connectivity there will be a starlink type competitor in the rural areas, local brand called agila. competition is always a good sign with the quality and price war we'll see this year.
Hi, which month did you go to Siargao? We're going too and just thinking of the rain seasons
If it's more expensive in Siargo, it's probably good to control influx of tourist...
Oh man... i need to go there.. ive been to australia many times... and siargao is just an 45 minutes flight from where i am.. lol

Siargao listen here, it helps improve any issues.
you should compared coron vs bali. because the siargao is a tourist spot for surfing and adventure.😊
Bali is where the biggest surf wave in entire southeast asia located, named "the bombie Uluwatu". Not only that, Bali also boast the most consistent surf condition in the entire southeast asia that hit 99℅ in uluwatu or ultra consistent. To say siargao is the next Bali in term as surf destination is a scam. Mentawais is waaaay way way better less crowded option for surf destination other than Bali. Both in Indonesia. Siargao is not on the same level with those 2 as surf destination. Just facts, overhypes don't give you ocean swells.

Many international artices and travellers observations says that Bali is very saturated due to mass tourisms and become cheaper because of lots of people and tourists. The quality of toirism in Boracay though a little high in price is much better. We need to understand that in the previous presidency sometime in 2019 due to pollutions and over tourism Boracay was closed for more than 6 months for a massive clean up and putting things in order that is why when it opened it is now being called new Boracay this did not happened to more popular tourist destinations in any ASIAN country. With that move of the governmrnt there was a similar move to other tourist beach destinations in the Philippines like Siargao and others that is why tourists nowaday enjoyed a much cleaner places and especially beach destinstions.
Bali is distinctive, that's why it's popular and at the same time also makes it crowded. Let's be honest, if it's only about beaches and beaches alone, you can get that everywhere. That's exactly the reason why Boracay couldn't raise it game to the same scale like Bali and Phuket. Here's the clue, there's an island in Indo, named Kei Kecil with Ngurbloat beach and Pantai Madwaer with sands as fine as fluor that could blow any beaches that boracay could offers plus there's no slum and ugly town to sore your eyes.

Compare and contrast Siargao to Phuket for the next video. They are about the same size (if Bucas Grande is included).
I haven't been in Phuket in a looooong time, so I need to go there as a digital nomad first 😅
Phuket is more comparable to Palawan than Siargao as it involves a lot of activities and island hopping.

Can’t compare them both different country, different culture. Timeline of development are different. PH slowed down in development for decades but is catching up. But personally, I prefer it slower because vibe change once developed.
maybe it's best for her to compare Bali to Boracay or El Nido😊
Siargao is still that kind of untouched by over tourism, it is what boracay was before.

As a fili internet in the phil. really sucks.
I don't have any issue with internet here in the Philippines since i can afford a good internet provider but it's pricey 😂
What the SIARGAO HAS NO REASON TO INFLATE THEIR PRICES. It was so cheap back then
That's just basic economy. They are trending to tourists now, so more paying customers.
Personally, Catanduanes and Samar are better options than Siargao - These two islands have more of everything at a way cheaper price (surfing, hiking, diving, beach, caves) minus the night party and hip cafe/restos, but they makeup with more cultural experiences for having bigger local festivals (if you visit in the right time), more towns with richer history - which to me are more authentic experiences.
800€ a month is crazy expensive in the Philippines even if it is in Siargao.

SIARGAO IS THE BEST ❤
according to you: Bali is cheaper than Siargao. stealing more prominent in Siargao than in Bali. Siargao more typhoon prone than Bali. Siargao more community oriented, down to earth authentic people than in Bali. In short, if you're a loner happy to be by yourself go to Bali but if you like being with people go to Siargao
Don't take her opinion as fact, clearly she knows nothing about Balinese culture. Bali is one of the most structured ethnicities in Indo, they have very advanced community based ceremonies. Even temples and all of ceremonies involved around any particular temple is structured and involves all part of the community (remember, Bali is one of the last few in the world where traditional dances, traditional musical instruments still played on daily basis and being taught to childrens) From family temple, to banjar, to their mother temples all have their own scheduled ceremonies involving the communities. Calling Siargao is more community based than Bali is a massive overshoot. Maybe she has her own term of community based things, (gathering and chit-chat in cafes is the only community occasion according to her term, perhaps).

Hope siargao will not be looks like bali where too many tourist..
Agree, but hey even if you want to, it's not an easy task to achieve the numbers like Bali & Phuket (for better or worse) not even your Boracay get the numbers. But yeah better keep low key, like Mentawais, put surfing tax per-short period (US$128 per-15 days if surfing as we speak). I don't think Siargao apply the surfing tax by intention to keep it low key ya? it's just not yet that popular, just in early stage of mass tourism if I see some footage of catangnan bridge.😊😊
Nice
For foreigners taking vacations wherever.. first you need to have an open mind. Leave your comfort zone behind. Pack a lot of patience. When travelling, dont complain the internet is slow of course you're not inside your home. Just because you have the money you feel so entitled. You feel that everybody surounds you needs to conform to your standards. Otherwise stay on your own country. Imagine Bali and Siargao closes for foreigners. What a world it would be.
How about communication?
In Siargao it's not problem at all, almost all of the locals I spoke with spoke very good english, some even better than me I would say! In Bali you could communicate effectively mostly, some speak good english but some only the very basic ones. But I honestly never had a major communication problem in both destinations! 🤗
Hmmm
Bali is good for resort, there are many luxury resort ...other things is about affordable cost of living....but as indonesian, i recomend to visit bali only,there are many island worth visited...like Sumba, Komodo island, Raja ampat papua,Taka bonerate ,Borneo jungle etc...

Good to hear that the Siargao community is nice. I found the Bali community to be annoying and not nice.

Siargao for the win!!!!
Yes I liked it much better 🥰
@AmelieSatzger you know it's never about the place or the island. It was always about the people
Sorry sist imho your comparison is not very apple to apple. Cmiiw
Bali is bigger than Siargao i think, Bali can be compared to Penang Island Malaysia
"Bali, Indonesia, was like Siargao before. Let's put it that way."
Good 1

You’re comparing young vs old
The other is a senior while the other is pre-teen. Lol
