Naked Island (Three-Island Hopping)
Pansukian
The first stop on the three-island hopping tour: a pure white sandbar with no vegetation, surrounded by crystal-clear turquoise water.
Naked Island (local name Pansukian) is a white sandbar off the coast of General Luna. It has no trees and no buildings, hence the name. It is the first stop on Siargao's classic three-island hopping tour. From the GL pier, take a banca (outrigger boat) for 15–20 minutes to Naked Island, then head to Daku Island, the largest inhabited island of the three, which has a village and coconut palms. Lunch is usually served here, with grilled fish and seafood. The tour finishes at Guyam Island. You can arrange hopping by sharing a boat or chartering one. Boat fares plus the landing or environmental fee for each island are charged separately, according to the fees posted at the pier. The full trip takes about 5–6 hours. Naked Island has no shade at all, so bring a hat, sunscreen and plenty of drinking water. The sandbar shrinks at high tide, so going early in the morning means better light and fewer people.
