The Philippines: Mountains & Islands

Hike the UNESCO World Heritage-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 and learn culinary secrets from a Baguio chef.

Set off on a full day of island hopping and snorkelling off the coast of El Nido and Port Barton. Look to the bottom of these clear waters and swim among the coral and tropical fish.

Meet the Batak Tribe, one of about 70 Indigenous communities of the Philippines, on a leader-led hike to the Batak and Tagbanua Tribal village in Sitio Kawasan.

Enjoy plenty of time at the beach to choose your own adventure. Maybe take a daytrip to the Nacpan Beach, cruise the waters in a kayak or have a drink (or two) at one of the many beachside restaurants.
