Best of the Philippines

Manila

Touch down in the capital and feel the pulse of Manila’s vibrant energy. That evening, meet your CEO and fellow travellers, your Welcome Moment marks the start of an unforgettable journey.

Day 2 – Intramuros & Chinatown feast
Spend your morning exploring the storied walls of Intramuros: Fort Santiago’s ramparts, the grandeur of Manila Cathedral, and the old‑world charm of Casa Manila. In the afternoon, hop aboard a classic jeepney for a street‑food safari through Binondo, sampling extraordinary Filipino‑Chinese flavours. 

Day 3 – Indigenous day at Mount Purro
Escape the city for a full day in the lush Mount Purro Nature Reserve. Meet the Dumagat people, hike to a peaceful waterfall, learn to build bamboo fires and cook sinigang in traditional ways, a deeply enriching “G for Good” Moment. 

Puerto Princesa & Port Barton

Day 4 – To Puerto Princesa & firefly magic
Fly to Puerto Princesa and enjoy a leisurely afternoon city tour, perhaps visit Baker’s Hill and Plaza Cuartel. As dusk falls, glide through mangrove tunnels by boat, watching thousands of fireflies illuminate the night. 

Day 5 – Underground River & onward to Port Barton
Journey to a UNESCO wonder: explore the vast cave system of the Puerto Princesa Subterranean River National Park with a guided boat trip. Later, travel by road to the tranquil coastal village of Port Barton. 

Day 6 – Island‑hopping in Port Barton
Board a traditional boat for a full day of island discovery, snorkel alongside turtles, dart through crystal‑clear waters, and enjoy a beach‑side lunch before returning to the laid‑back rhythm of Port Barton.

El Nido & Sibaltan

Day 7 – Cultural connections at Sibaltan
Travel to El Nido and step into the Sibaltan Heritage House, where local women welcome you to learn weaving, cook alongside them, and enjoy traditional songs and dance, a beautiful cultural exchange that supports the community.

Day 8 – Private boat island‑hopping
Spend a full day cruising El Nido’s dramatic limestone lagoons and hidden coves. Snorkel among vibrant reefs, swim in secret and hidden beaches, and keep an eye out for sea turtles, eels, and rays.

Day 9 – Your choice day
Choose your adventure, unwind on a sun‑drenched beach, chase waterfalls at Kuyawyaw Falls, or hike up Mt. Taraw for awe‑inspiring views. The day is yours to make as you wish.
