Destinations of this tour

Cebu
Cebu

Cebu is a tropical urban center located in the Central Visayas region of the Philippines, which offers a blend of natural beauty, historical richness, and vibrant urban life. As the oldest city in the country, it boasts a rich history dating back to the Spanish colonial period, evident in landmarks such as the Basilica Minore del Santo Niño, the oldest Roman Catholic church in the Philippines, and the Fort San Pedro, a historic fortification offering a glimpse into Cebu's colonial past. The city is a gateway to more than 150 islands, including the famous Mactan Island known for its pristine beaches and world-class diving locations; the unspoiled Camotes Islands where you can visit caves, beaches, and natural pools; the Nalusuan Island, a marine sanctuary ideal for snorkeling; the Malapascua Island with its thresher shark sightings; and the Oslob village in the south that offers the unique experience of swimming with whale sharks. Designated as a Creative City by UNESCO in 2019, Cebu is also well known as a hub for craftsmanship, creativity, and gastronomy. The city is a host of a variety of colorful and lively festivals throughout the year; nevertheless, nothing beats the beauty and bustling crowd of the Sinulog Festival featuring colorful parades and traditional dance rituals. Considered as an attractive destination for both leisure and business travelers, Cebu offers a perfect balance of urban comforts and natural attractions, from bustling markets and shopping malls to nearby waterfalls and mountains. The local cuisine, highlighted by the Cebuano lechon (roasted pig), is a must-try.

Bohol
Bohol

Bohol, the roughly circular and mid-sized island in the Central Philippines, is a destination that seamlessly blends natural beauty, rich history, and captivating culture. It is home to one of the country's most iconic landmarks: the Chocolate Hills. This geological site is composed of more than a thousand perfectly cone-shaped hills that turn brown during the dry season, resembling a giant box of chocolates. Climb up to the viewing platform for panoramic views that will leave you in awe. The best vantage points are at the Chocolate Hills Complex or Sagbayan Peak, where you can truly appreciate the vastness of the unique landscape. Close to the hills, catch a glimpse of one of nature’s most adorable creatures, the tiny Philippine tarsier. Weighing only up to five ounces, tarsiers are nocturnal primates with huge eyes and a shy demeanor. Rarely seen in the wild, these smallest and cutest creatures can be spotted up close at the Tarsier Conservation Area. Lush greenery and serene waters await you in the Loboc River. Cruise along the calm and meandering river to experience Bohol’s natural beauty. Some cruises even offer cultural performances, giving you a glimpse into the island’s rich traditions. For underwater enthusiasts, Bohol offers incredible marine life with white-sand beaches and vibrant coral reefs beckoning on Panglao Island. This island is also the departure point for water adventures like dolphin and whale-watching tours and dive trips in Balicasag Island Marine Sanctuary. Go into the deep to swim among the sanctuary’s sea turtles, explore colorful coral gardens, and steep submarine cliffs.

El Nido
El Nido

El Nido covers an area of about 400 sq km at the northern tip of Palawan Island, featuring striking limestone cliffs, mesmerizing lagoons, and endless beaches in between azure waters. It is the launch pad for the daytime excursions to the surrounding limestone islands of the stunning Bacuit Bay archipelago, such as Simizu, Cadlao, Dilumacad, and Matinloc... Sea kayaking is an eco-friendly way of exploring each island. Snorkeling and scuba diving are the top activities on the bucket list of many travelers, thanks to the abundant marine life and coral reefs around most of the islands. On land, exploring the rainforest in search of waterfalls and exotic flora and fauna species will be rewarding travel experiences. Despite its remote location, El Nido hosts a decent choice of pleasant night spots for you to party or relax in after dark. Whether you spend the night in town or at one of the beaches nearby, you will always find a suitable spot to have a drink and socialize at night. Consider Pukka Bar in town or Republica Sunset Bar on Corong Corong Beach for your chilling time there.

Boracay
Boracay

Boracay is a small island in the central Philippines, famed for its stunning four-kilometer White Beach, which is consistently ranked among the best beaches in the world. Nevertheless, White Beach is only the starter; Boracay Island boasts other secluded coves, vibrant coral reefs, and lush marine life, perfect for keeping your sunny days filled with exciting activities such as diving into the clear waters to discover the underwater world, soaring above the sea with parasailing, or paddling along the gentle waves with kayaking. For those who prefer a more relaxed pace, a sunset cruise with cocktails in hand offers a magical end to any day on the island. Boasting sugar-white beaches, crystalline coves, and all manner of water adventures, Boracay is the jumping-off point for a variety of island-hopping adventures. Spend a day visiting iconic spots like Puka Shell Beach, known for its powdery white sand and serene ambiance; the Coral Garden, a snorkeler's paradise rich with underwater biodiversity. Then enjoy a barbecue lunch on the beach, a perfect complement for a thrilling outdoor day. Don't miss the Magic Island, where the adrenaline seekers used to jump off the cliffs and dive into the sparkling sea. If water activities are not your vibe, try to discover a varied array of outdoor activities and sights across Boracay’s three districts (also called barangays): Yapak on the northern end, Balabag in the middle, and Manoc-Manoc in the south. To get around on the island, use environmentally friendly electric tricycles or e-trikes to get around on land and traditional paraws or double outrigger sailboats to travel by water. Boracay is also known for its lively nightlife with numerous bars, restaurants, and entertainment options. This attracts a younger crowd and those looking for a vibrant social scene.

Manila
Manila

Manila is the Philippines' bustling capital city located on the island of Luzon. It is the starting point for all visitors before jumping off to other areas of the country by air or by boat. As a melting pot of cultures with multiple Spanish and Chinese influences, Manila is full of things to see and do, making it a lively destination to explore. Take a step back into the rich history of the Philippines with a walking tour of Intramuros, the walled city of Manila, including visits to Fort Santiago, a citadel used as a defensive fortress built by Spanish conquistador Miguel López de Legazpi, and the Baroque-style San Agustin Church, the oldest stone church in the country. Stop by Rizal Park, one of the most significant landmarks in the Philippines. The park is named after Dr. Jose Rizal, the country's national hero who was executed in the park grounds, resulting in the flames of the 1896 Philippine Revolution against the Spanish Empire. Home to the oldest Chinatown in the world, it is well worth spending a day immersing yourself in the Chinese culture and history of the Binondo District. This is a hub for authentic Chinese restaurants, trinkets, and the ultimate place to shop for bargains. Reowning a big contemporary art, there are many galleries, art spaces, design shops, and museums throughout Manila. Graffiti and murals can be seen almost everywhere you look, from building facades to walkways, underpasses, demolished walls, and pavements... This is the way people showcase their perspectives about the country’s culture, history, and even political issues.
