Guyam Island
Guyam
The small coconut island closest to General Luna; a walk around it takes only minutes, and it is the most familiar scene on Siargao postcards.
Guyam Island is a small round island off the coast of General Luna. Covered in coconut palms, it is ringed by white sand and a shallow coral reef. Walking around it takes only 5 to 10 minutes, yet it is one of Siargao's most photogenic landmarks. It is usually the last stop on the three-island hopping tour and is only about 10 minutes by boat from the GL pier. The island has simple shade shelters and hammocks, and a small environmental fee is charged to land. The shallows are good for snorkeling among small fish, but coral and sea urchins are common, so wear water shoes. On a clear day, aerial or boat shots capture the full panorama of this 'coconut island.'
