Overview

😉🏝️We are heading to the Philippines! Are you coming with us?

The Philippines is an archipelago of over 7,000 islands – a true paradise for travelers. Here we will find emerald lagoons, limestone cliffs, dense jungles, white sand beaches and a rich underwater world.

We will dive deep into the nature of Palawan, cross the Sierra Madre Mountains and feel the spirit of Manila. This is an adventure beyond the tourist routes – into the heart of one of the most impressive island countries on the planet.

⭐Our program has been prepared with the help of local guides and people with over 10 years of experience in tourism. We will take untrodden paths and reach amazingly beautiful and wild corners of the Philippines.

What you will do

Expand All

We arrive in Manila, the bustling capital, where the warm tropical air welcomes us to the beginning of a great adventure. A short transfer takes us to our hotel, where we can rest and refresh. Just a few minutes away lies the Mall of Asia — the perfect spot for a stroll, dinner, and our first taste of the Philippines.

Day 2: First glimpse of the island paradise – Panglao

Early in the morning we fly from Manila to Panglao Island. Upon arrival, we head straight to Oceanica Resort on Dumaluan Beach — a private stretch of white sand, swaying palms, and crystal-clear water. The day is all about unwinding: swimming, cocktails, and optional SUP or kayaking. In the evening, we check in near Alona Beach and enjoy free time to explore and have dinner.

Day 3: Bohol - caves, jungles and the Chocolate Hills

Today we explore Bohol Island. We start with the Hinagdanan underground cave and the historic Blood Compact site, then meet the world’s smallest primate — the tarsier. Next comes a thrilling zipline over the Loboc River and a floating restaurant lunch with live music. We finish the day at the famous Chocolate Hills before returning to Panglao.

Day 4: Underwater adventure - sardines, turtles and the Virgin Islands

Early in the morning we dive into Napaling Reef, swimming among millions of sardines. From there we sail to Balicasag Island — a protected area perfect for snorkeling with turtles and coral gardens. We enjoy lunch on the island and then stop at Virgin Island, a sandbar in the middle of the sea, perfect for photos and relaxation. Evening at leisure.

Day 5: Whale shark encounter and flight to El Nido

In the morning we will travel to Lila for an unforgettable encounter with whale sharks — gentle, majestic giants. After this unique experience, we return, pack up, and catch a flight to El Nido, Palawan. We will settle in the town center and enjoy a free evening to explore this island paradise.

Day 6: El Nido - first tour among lagoons and islands

This day we will begin our island-hopping adventure in the Bacuit Archipelago. We will explore, by boat, hidden beaches, lagoons, and turquoise waters surrounded by limestone peaks. There’s plenty of time for snorkeling among tropical fish and corals, and lunch is served on one of the islands. We return to El Nido in the afternoon and enjoy a free evening.

Day 7: Caves, waterfalls and Nacpan Beach

Today we head north of El Nido. We’ll visit the ancient Ilet Cave, then enjoy a light jungle trek to Bulalacao Waterfalls where we can cool off in natural pools. The afternoon is spent at Nacpan Beach — one of the most stunning beaches in the Philippines. Expect pure relaxation, cocktails, and a breathtaking sunset over the ocean.

We board the boat again for our second island-hopping day. This time we explore the Big Lagoon on Miniloc Island, Shimizu Beach, 7 Commandos Beach, and the Secret Lagoon. Snorkeling and kayaking opportunities await at every stop. After a full day of island adventures, we return to El Nido.

Day 9: The small lagoon and the hidden coves

Our third island-hopping tour takes us to Miniloc’s Small Lagoon, Pasandigan Cove, Paradise Beach, and other hidden gems. The day is relaxed with plenty of snorkeling and kayaking opportunities. It’s our final chance to soak up the magic of Bacuit before moving on to the next adventure.

Day 10: The Jungle of Masungi and the Sierra Madre

Early in the morning we fly back to Manila and head for the Sierra Madre mountain range. A unique trek awaits us at Masungi Georeserve, with hanging bridges and limestone formations above the treetops. After a few hours immersed in nature, we return to Manila for our final night.

Our final day takes us to Intramuros — the historic heart of Manila. We stroll along cobbled streets, visit cathedrals, fortresses, and cozy cafés. There’s time for last photos and souvenirs before heading to the airport for our flight back home.
