Getting from Del Carmen airport to the city center

Del Carmen is served by Sayak Airport (IAO), a small regional airport located approximately 3 km northwest of the town center on Siargao Island, Philippines. This airport primarily handles domestic flights connecting to Cebu and Manila. Airport transfers to city center destinations are straightforward given the short distance, with options including tricycles, vans, taxis, and private transfers. Journey times are generally brief, though road conditions and weather can affect travel during the rainy season.

Notes:

  • Prices in PHP (approximately $1 USD = 56 PHP); table created in 2025 and subject to change.
  • Tricycles and habal-habal fares are negotiable; agree on price before departure.
  • Most visitors continue to General Luna (approximately 25 km from the airport) rather than staying in Del Carmen town center.
  • Road conditions vary; unpaved sections may slow travel during wet season.
  • We recommend checking official transport websites and confirming arrangements with your accommodation for your travel planning.
