This epic place in Siargao can be reached via land transportation. Most of the local and international visitors hired a motorcycle or tricycle to reach this instgrammable destination. Others avail Siargao tour package which include Maasin River as part of the place to visit.
One of the highlights of our tours was a fun swing rope under a palm tree. I felt like a Tarzan while swinging on a rope. Please make sure you know how to swim before indulging into this kind of activity. No worries, it's safe. There are locals around the area that will assist you to climb the tree.
Another activity that you must try is boating. The local guide will tour you around Maasin River via a non motorized boat. The tour will last estimated one hour.
Entrance fee is P20. Boating is P500 for 3-4 pax. Life in Siargao has always been difficult for some so don't forget to give tip to the local guides. This is a good way to help them.
The best time to visit Maasin River is during summer season, around March to May. It's better to visit the place early in the morning to avoid crowd and too much heat.
For side trip, you can visit Coconut Farm, just a few minutes ride from Maasin Bridge. You can find here the famous coconut tree-lined road. It's truly instagrammable.
