About Pagudpud
Pagudpud in Ilocos Norte is the place to be if you love the beach less the crowd.
Situated on the northern shore of the main island of Luzon, Pagudpud’s white sand and pristine beaches are the main reasons why the town continuously draws tourists.
But Pagudpud is not only about the beach, this coastal town, formerly a part of its neighboring town of Bangui, greets its visitors with its panoramic sceneries and other natural attractions. Stop in Patapat Viaduct, trek to Kabigan Falls, swim in Maira-ira Blue Lagoon, go surfing, watch the picturesque sunset and experience the hospitality of its people.
Truly, Pagudpud promises everyone an unforgettable experience in this secluded paradise.

From Clark Airport, ride a shuttle/jeepney to Dau Bus Terminal for P50. At Dau Terminal, there are buses going north (Ilocos).
thank u ^^.. tuloy n po pgpunta namin this jan. going laoag by a plane from clark airport.. we are planning to visit pagudpud, laoag and vigan and we will stay for only 3days… gusto namin sulutin un,,kya saan po ba ung mas mgandang unang bisitahin pra mas makatipid kmi sa time from laoag?
I see, quite hectic sched 🙂 Anyway, the ideal sequence would be Vigan, Laoag then Pagudpud. Are you traveling via public transport or you rented a van? To maximize your stay, I suggest you rent a van since the transportation in these places are limited specially at night and they might eat a large chunk of your time. Assuming you chartered a van, you can start at Vigan, have a day tour of the city and the nearby Bantay Church, it is just a small city and you can do it in a day. Then drive in the afternoon or sundown to Laoag, spend the night in Laoag, tour it the next morning (Sand Dunes, Paoay Church, Malacañang of the North, Laoag Church and Sinking Bell Tower, Museum and nearby spots. You may opt to spend the night in Laoag again at night or drive straight to Pagudpud. On your last day, tour Burgos, Bangui and Pagudpud 🙂 If you don’t have a rented van, you can still cover these places but be aware of the public transport schedule 🙂

Hi Japoy,
Can you accommodate 8 persons in the tour that you offer?
We would like to avail van and tour services for Ilocos North and Ilocos South (and possible the Laoag City tour) for January 26-28?
Here’s the catch: we are to leave Manila (bound to Pagudpud) in the morning. considering the 10hour ride we shall arrive at night time in Pagudpud – and so we plan to stay at cheaper hostels near the Saud beach.
And can you mention the name of the tours that you have? We shall communicate with you through SMS and emails soon. Thanks!
Hello mam ella…
Yes mam i reserve you for that date last week of January…. ok mam its a private company and affiliate with other travel and tour. Just send message or call on my contact # mam for inquiries about the tour services and accommodation for your reservation in front of saud beach… Tnx…

Hi Marlon,
Can you accommodate 6 persons in the tour that you offer?
We would like to avail van and tour services for Pagudpud sites on March 29-31.
We are about to leave Vigan (bound to Pagudpud) in the morning and we shall arrive at the afternoon in Pagudpud – and so we plan to stay at cheaper hostels near the Saud beach.
And can you mention the name of the tours that you have? We shall communicate with you through SMS and emails soon. Thanks! Or you can text me @ 09219607211 / 09154136355
Pag wala pa po kayong nareserve na hotel sa Pagudpud. e-mail nyo lang po ako at i-refer ko po kayo sa comfy at affordable hotel…
i can recommend the place of mr. henry uddon in saud, pagudpud for you to stay. here his contact number. 09202859087
Hi! I’m planning to go to Laoog-Vigan this April alone. how much yung tour kapag isa ka lang?esp sa Pagudpod.:D
Wow! That will be fun. It is quite expensive if you rent a van or trike alone, it would be better to find a group there, befriend them and join the tour to save cost. Or if you really prefer solo, rent a motorbike to tour you around, expect to shell out at least P500. Another cheap alternative is find a bike for rent and tour the town on your own 🙂
hi elsed..i suggest u can just commute para makamura ka,but if u want to hire a van pwede rin po from vigan to pagudpud vice versa…ilang days po b kau?regarding your tour in pagudpud i can help u wd that..u can hire my tricycle at pwede n rin po kau sa hauz namin..please contact me po to this #..09477853245..tnx..please feel free to contact me..
Ang ganda sa lugar na ito. napakalinis! pero ang mahal ng mga pagkain kahit magpaluto ka mahal pa din. i-suggest sa laoag kayo mg-stay kung gusto nyong makatipid sa food expenses at lodging. Dami din staple fastfoods and grocery sa laoag like jollibee, mcdo, chowking, puregold at sm supermarkets.
sa transpo naman kelangan nyo tlaga mghire ng tricycle (3-4pax kasya) para malibot nyo yung lugar. sulit na sa 1200 yung tour kasi hindi magkalalapit yung mga tourist spots. pwede nyo pa tawaran yung rate hanggang 1k pero mgtitip tlaga kayo kasi sulit at ganda nung mga lugar.
Recommend ko pala si kuya junior 09183542351 at yung kapatid nya kuya nelson (09207335121) mga mabbuti at mbbait na tricycle driver na pwede nyong i-contact pag nsa pagudpug kayo.
Update pala simula daw Dec. 1, 2012, hindi na pwede mgbiyahe yung mga pagudpud tricycle sa burgos area (Café Bojeador Lighthouse, Kapurpurawan White Rock Formation) kasi daw ayaw nung burgos toda dun. so mangyayari ay lilipat kayo ng tricycle para makapunta sa mga lugar na ito.
anyway, i hope nakatulong ang post ko para sa mga nagbabalak pumunta sa pagudpud.
God bless!
hi,were planning to go in pagudpod this coming Dec 1,saan po mura pwedi stay mura,malapit beach 6 person po kami
