Siargao, while known for its natural beauty and surfing culture, also has a rich history shaped by its indigenous roots and colonial influences. The island was once home to the Mamanwa people, one of the oldest indigenous groups in the Philippines. In the late 16th century, Spanish explorers made contact with the island, though it remained largely untouched by colonial rule. Siargao's name is believed to be derived from the Visayan word "siargaw," meaning "wild" or "strong," a fitting tribute to its rugged landscapes and powerful waves. Over time, the island has evolved into a vibrant destination, preserving its deep cultural heritage while embracing the modern world. Today, Siargao is a unique blend of tradition, adventure, and island life, where history and nature intertwine.
