Philippines Island Hopping Tour 9 Days

Beautiful beaches. Great seafood. Natural marine meeting. Asia’s Pearl of the Orient has the best views of your life! So much to see, so little time. Before flying to our first white-sand beach, you’ll meet your crew in Manila.

Already feeling beachy? Same. Nothing beats a free evening on Palawan, one of the most pristine islands. Our feast comes first. Introduce yourself to fellow travelers over a welcoming dinner. For a true local experience, end the night at a Tiki bar with Filipino music and cocktails. Though today has ended, this is just the beginning.

Morning, sunshine lovers! Today is the first full day on this beautiful island, so we’re off to a good start. After breakfast at the hotel, you’ll visit the Subterranean River National Park for an underground adventure. Ready? Wear your bright helmets. Float across an azure river into one of the world’s most complex cave systems on your first trip. Surrounded by fascinating limestone formations (some egg-shaped), you’ll see why this stunning area is a UNESCO World Heritage Site. Those magnificent views must satisfy your eyes. Time to feed our stomachs. Nanay Elena’s House serves traditional Filipino food created with fresh ingredients from her farm. Drop off your bags at our beachside hotel. Unwind on the beach. Explore the little town. The night is young and yours!

Need beauty sleep? Need some time on the sandy beach? You can accomplish anything today. Immerse yourself in clear waters. Enjoy the sun with a book. See the rocky slopes during a morning trek. Or manufacture rings and bracelets in a local workshop. This beach has amazing feelings regardless.

Ocean lovers, unite! Our private boat is taking us island-hopping today. You’ll swim with turtles. Snorkel vivid reefs. Enjoy a delicious local dinner. Avoid beach waves. Relax at a starfish sandbar with your new closest friends as the sun sets over the calm sea. Is this island exploration correct?

We must leave our favorite island. No worries—there are plenty of other destinations to compete with it. Breakfast at the hotel will be followed by a quick trip to the next turquoise-tinted site. An afternoon to relax in another tropical paradise? Have we been lucky? Eat local street food. Visit the town’s distinctive shops. Remember to charge your camera!

Accommodation – Coral Cliff (or similar)

Rise and shine, folks. It’s time to drive like the locals in a colorful classic Jeepney. First stop? Beautiful Lio Beach. The wooden footpath to the seashore offers tranquil views. It continues. Our next stop is Bulalacao Waterfalls. It will be impossible to resist diving into the mysterious milky-white water. The day continues with a visit to Palawan’s most popular beach, Nacpan Beach. We’ll finish the day at Las Cabanas, one of the country’s top sunset spots.

Rarely do you get a day to yourself in a palm tree paradise. Today must be a star-aligned day! Spend the night on the white-sand beaches with your team after exploring them in the sun. A “you do you” kinda day.

Mabuhay, travelers! Explore another crystal-clear aquatic spot now that the sun is up. Enjoy your last El Nido supper before our boat journey.

You waited for this. You’ll drop your bags off at our Special Stay, our next MAKE TRAVEL MATTER® experience where we’ll spend time exploring local culture—a storybook experience. After, snorkel in clear water and investigate a shipwreck! Next, another true Filipino experience. A boodle fight involves eating local food on a banana leaf across the table with your hands. After a relaxing bonfire, we’ll relax on the beach close to our rustic beach bungalows.

Accommodation – The Isla Experience

Today is the last day. Make the most of your farewell dinner in this oceanic paradise. We’re going directly to El Nido.

Our island exploration is over. Time to say goodbye. People share contacts. Tears fall. Instagram stories tag new pals. To recollect and make fresh island hopping memories, they may meet again at another destination.
