Highlights

Hike the UNESCO-listed rice terraces in the Cordilleras, crafted over 2000 years, and trek to the crater lake of Mt Pinatubo for breathtaking views.

Savour Manila’s food scene – enjoy a community feast in Tarukan village, learn culinary secrets from a Baguio chef and start one day with a sunrise picnic breakfast.

Spend a full day of island hopping and snorkelling off the coast of El Nido. Look to the bottom of these clear waters and glide among the coral reefs and tropical fish.

Visit local villages to meet the Ifugao who shaped the rice terraces, learn about Batik people who reside deep in the mountains, and discover Kalinga culture and 1930s Ifugao life through a famous Spanish photographer’s lens.

Enjoy plenty of beachside free time to choose your own adventure – maybe go on a daytrip to Nacpan Beach, take a self-guided kayaking adventure or indulge in a spot of shopping!

Itinerary

The Philippines beckon with a vibrant blend of adventure and culture on this 17-day explorer tour. Cycle Manila’s energetic streets, trek the dramatic crater of Mt. Pinatubo, and hike the UNESCO-listed rice terraces of the Cordilleras guided by local experts. Experience village life, share meals with communities, and then journey to Palawan for island-hopping, snorkeling in crystal waters, and exploring limestone caves. The highlight of this trip is its unique combination of guided activities and free time, offering an authentic, multifaceted journey through the country’s mountains and islands.
