Manila to Siargao

Once you arrive at Manila airport, you will be greeted by your representative and transferred to your hotel for check-in. The rest of the day is at leisure.

Manila, or Metro Manila, is the country’s lively capital region and the centre of culture, business and entertainment. It blends centuries-old heritage with a modern, fast-paced lifestyle. The city is home to historic landmarks such as Intramuros, the old Spanish walled city, and Fort Santiago, where national hero Dr José Rizal was held before his execution. Both offer a striking glimpse into the country’s colonial past.

You may also wish to explore Manila’s vibrant dining and shopping scene, from the vast SM Mall of Asia to the boutiques of Greenbelt, or enjoy the nightlife of Bonifacio High Street, where gleaming skyscrapers light up the evening sky.

Manila - El Nido. Today, you will depart from Manila on a flight to El Nido, Palawan, a region often celebrated for its white-sand beaches, dramatic limestone cliffs, and crystal-clear waters.

Upon arrival, you will transfer to your resort with a journey that combines both land and boat travel, offering your first glimpse of the area’s stunning seascapes.

Your stay is on Pangulasian Island, a tropical hideaway surrounded by lush forest and turquoise waters. Known for its pristine setting within Bacuit Bay, the island is an ideal base for swimming, snorkelling or simply relaxing on the beach.

Today is at leisure to relax and enjoy the resort’s surroundings. You may wish to simply unwind on the beach, swim in the clear waters, or take advantage of the facilities on the island.

For those seeking adventure, a private island-hopping excursion can be arranged. This experience allows you to sail across turquoise waters and explore a number of nearby islands, where you can discover hidden lagoons, limestone cliffs and white-sand beaches.

These days are at leisure to enjoy the beauty of your island surroundings. You may choose to relax by the beach, swim in the clear waters, or simply take in the peaceful setting.

If you would like to explore further, you can join the complimentary scheduled island-hopping activities. These excursions offer the chance to visit nearby islands, discover hidden lagoons, and enjoy some of Palawan’s most striking scenery.

El Nido - Bohol. After breakfast, you will transfer to Lio Airport for your flight to Bohol. Upon arrival, you will be met and taken to your resort, where the rest of the day is at leisure.

Bohol, in the Central Visayas region, is the tenth largest island in the Philippines and is surrounded by Cebu, Leyte, and Mindanao. Its capital, Tagbilaran City, serves as the gateway to a province known for its blend of natural beauty and cultural heritage.

The island is home to the famous Chocolate Hills, which turn brown in the dry season, and to the tiny tarsier, one of the world’s smallest primates with its distinctive large eyes. Bohol also boasts white-sand beaches on Panglao Island, pristine islets offshore and the scenic Loboc River that winds through rainforest landscapes.

Early this morning, you will visit the Philippine Tarsier Foundation in Corella, a sanctuary dedicated to protecting one of the world’s smallest primates. Here you can observe the tarsier in its natural environment and see how these rare nocturnal creatures leap between trees and swivel their heads almost completely around.

The tour then continues to Baclayon, where you will make a short stop at the Blood Compact site, commemorating the first treaty of friendship between the Spanish explorer Miguel López de Legazpi and local chieftain Datu Sikatuna. Nearby, you will also visit Baclayon Church, one of the oldest stone churches in the Philippines, which houses a small museum of religious art and artefacts.

From here, travel through the Bilar man-made forest, a tunnel of towering mahogany trees, before reaching the Chocolate Hills, Bohol’s most famous geological wonder. Climb to the viewpoint for a sweeping panorama of the rolling hills, which take on a rich brown hue in the dry season, giving them their distinctive name. A private riverside lunch aboard a floating restaurant on the Loboc River will round off the day before you return to your resort in the late afternoon.

Today is at leisure to relax at your resort or spend time exploring the island at your own pace. You may choose to simply enjoy the beach, swim in the clear waters or make use of the facilities on offer.

For those looking to venture further, an optional excursion to Balicasag Island can be arranged (at an additional fee). This small 25-hectare islet lies just off Panglao and is reached by a short boat ride. Its crystal-clear waters are ideal for snorkelling, with vibrant coral gardens and tropical fish visible even at shallow depths.

During the visit, you can tour the island on foot, meet the local community, and enjoy a freshly prepared lunch at the island’s resort before returning to your accommodation in the afternoon.

Bohol - Cebu City - Siargao. This morning, you will transfer to Tagbilaran Port and take a ferry to Cebu. On arrival, you will continue to Mactan-Cebu Airport for your flight to Siargao. Upon landing, transfer to your accommodation for check-in, after which you may explore the island independently.

Siargao is the main island in a group of 48 islands and islets, best known as the surfing capital of the Philippines. Its world-famous Cloud 9 break attracts surfers from around the globe, thanks to the powerful Pacific swells that roll in from the Philippine Trench. The island enjoys its best surf conditions between August and November, but its laid-back charm extends year-round.

Beyond surfing, Siargao offers island-hopping to unspoilt beaches such as Naked Island, Daku and Guyam, as well as visits to stunning lagoons like Sugba and Sohoton Cove. Natural wonders such as the Magpupungko Rock Pools, visible only at low tide, highlight the island’s unique and varied landscapes.

Spend the next three days enjoying Siargao at your own pace. You may choose to simply relax on the beach, swim in the clear waters or take advantage of your resort’s facilities.

For those wishing to explore further, complimentary island-hopping activities are available to nearby gems such as Pansukian, a tiny deserted isle, as well as Daku and Guyam Islands, both known for their pristine sands and turquoise waters. These excursions offer the chance to discover Siargao’s natural beauty beyond the main island.

With ample time to unwind, you can also enjoy the comforts of your accommodation, whether that means private beachfront dining, indulgent spa treatments or tailor-made experiences designed to make your stay as memorable as possible.

Siargao - Manila. Today, enjoy the morning at leisure before your transfer from your accommodation to Siargao Airport for your flight to Manila. On arrival, you will have the rest of the day at leisure.

In Manila, you may wish to spend your free time exploring Intramuros, the city’s historic walled district, or visiting Rizal Park, one of the city’s most significant landmarks. For a different pace, you could do some last-minute shopping at SM Mall of Asia or Greenbelt, or simply relax and enjoy the city’s vibrant dining scene.

After your final breakfast, depending on your departure flight time, you may have some time to explore further, find some last-minute souvenirs, or relax before your transfer to the airport for your onward flight.
