What is the "Trike Overcharge from Airport" scam in Siargao?

Question

Accepted Answer

Tricycle (trike) drivers at Sayak Airport quote tourist fares to General Luna of 500-800 PHP for a journey that costs 150-250 PHP at local rates. The 45-minute distance and tourist unfamiliarity with the route are exploited by drivers who claim it is a long journey. The fare from Sayak Airport to General Luna is fixed at roughly 200-250 PHP for a standard trike. Negotiate this before loading your luggage. Shared vans sometimes operate from the airport for even lower fares when multiple passengers are traveling the same route.
