Highlights

Moalboal: Enjoy lunch with your crew as you try all the quintessential Filipino dishes at this local spot.

Moalboal: This renowned church is famous for its remarkable architecture. But it's also rumoured to have healing powers! You'll have some time to take a leisurely stroll through this grand church and delve into the fascinating stories it holds.

Moalboal: Dip your toes (and take those photo dump snaps) in the cool blue waters of some of the BEST tropical waterfalls you'll ever see . You'll also have the chance to swim and trek around.

Moalboal: Put on your snorkelling gear and get ready to witness an ultra rare phenomenon. You'll have the chance to see the incredible spectacle of hundreds (if not thousands) of sardines gathering 'round in the clear blue water. Plus, we'll visit even more white-sand spots like Pescador Island, Panagsama Beach.

Bohol: Nope, those ain't stars you're seeing. Tonight, we'll jump on a boat and float through the river to see the mesmerising sight of fireflies lighting up the Mother Tree. (You really would not believe your eyes...)

Bohol: Hop on for a Tuk Tuk ride & feel the refreshing breeze on your face as we hit the countryside of Bohol for a full day tour, passing by Mahogany forests, hanging bridges and landscapes so tranquil, you'll probably find inner peace.

Bohol: Check out one of Bohol's most iconic attractions - the perfectly-domed landscape of the Chocolate Hills. (Just try to not lick your screen when you're taking pics...)

Bohol: Come see the world's smallest primates in their natural habitat. The tarsiers here are taken care of by experts, and the sanctuary even has a research centre that works towards improving the life of these endangered creatures. It's an...eye-widening experience.

Bohol: Welcome to The FRMCY. Here, you’ll dive into a farm-to-table lunch with 8 fresh courses, made with ingredients grown on-site or in nearby villages. Expect new flavours with every bite, paired with a spread of juices and teas - yum! Before lunch, you’ll take a tour of the farm and learn about the fruits and vegetables they grow, how they keep things organic and pesticide-free, and tips for growing your own crops at home. You’ll also hear how the farm started during the pandemic and see how they bring sustainable, fresh produce from field to fork.

Panglao: Get ready for magical encounters with sealife (think: corals, fishes, dolphins) as we jump on a boat trip to visit Virgin Island & Pamilacan Island for snorkelling & sunsets.

Boracay: Ride in style as we hit the skies for a quick transfer to another incredible island - Boracay.

Boracay: Grab your swimsuits for a full day of island hopping! We'll visit the oh-so-picturesque Puka Beach, and Magic Island and even Crystal Cove Island. A little bit of snorkelling. A little bit of relaxation and whole lotta fun.

Puerto Princesa: Get comfy in your included flight from the east to west of the Philippines.

Underground River: Cruise through the serene Subterranean River National Park into a kaleidoscope of pointy limestone caves. Don't miss the chance to watch the 8.2 km long river flow directly into the ocean.

Port Barton: Wanna get a taste of Grandma’s home-cooked food the Filipino way? Join Nanay Elena for a traditional meal made from locally-grown ingredients.

Port Barton: Snorkel, swim, and dine - get your ocean fix on this island hopping day trip. You’ll visit two tropical islands, gorge on delicious seafood. And possibly even swim with turtles!

Port Barton: Want some Filipino keepsakes that you’ll never wanna take off? Here you'll have the chance to support a local workshop in Port Barton and learn how to make your own rings and bracelets.

El Nido: Not riding on the colourfully chaotic Jeepney when in the Philippines? Now that should be considered a crime. Hop onto a private Jeepney for a tour of the wonderful beaches and waterfalls.

El Nido: Take a walk on the perfectly curved Nacpan Beach. Sink your feet into the golden-white sand. Or dip them into the cool water - it's a feast for your eyes, feet and soul.

El Nido: Watch the shiny smooth water tearing through the rocky hills of Bulalacao. Don’t forget your swimsuit. This spot is famous for its insta-worthy pictures.

Port Barton: Cameras at the ready! Be prepared to witness the bewitching beauty of the sunset at Las Cabanas - arguably one of the best sunset spots in the Philippines.

Island Special Stay: Support the locals with marine conservation, education and their eco garden while you get irresistible beach-side views. Talk about a win-win!

Island Special Stay: Love sea exploration? You're going to love this shipwreck site that is just off the coast of our island home. Here, you'll discover the history and secrets of WWII ships.

Island Special Stay: It’s time to get dirty (in the best way possible). Join a traditional Kamayan or a boodle fight, where you'll eat a communal feast served on long banana leaves with your hands.
