The name Dako Island comes from the Visayan word meaning big, since it is the biggest among the three famous islands in Siargao, Surigao Del Norte. These islands are comparable to the Gilis and Lombok in Indonesia. Dako Island is located in between two smaller islands named; Naked Island—which is literally “naked”, no trees, no houses, and no cottages.

What you will see is only the bareness of the beach, white fine sand and the crystal clear blue water surrounding Dako Island.

Another island is the Guyam Island. Guyam Island is a privately owned tropical paradise. Though it’s private, guests are welcome on the island. It is being taken care of by the family residing on the island who collects an entrance fee from every visitor. Guyam Island is decorated with coconut trees and a few cottages for those who are interested in renting a place to settle in during their visit to the island. It is ideal for snorkeling and other beach activities.
