Here are some of the reasons you should book a tour in the Philippines this year:
Island-hopping
The Philippines has over 7,000 islands and is one of the largest archipelagos in the world. This makes the country an island-hopping paradise with crystal clear turquoise waters perfect for snorkelling. Swim in hidden lagoons under volcanoes where you'll see some of the most spectacular coral reeves you've ever seen. You can also opt to go kayaking and explore one untouched white beach after another.
Trekking
Few countries offer as many spectacular treks quite like the Philippines. Trek through the picturesque rice paddies and learn all about the country's history while staying with a local family, or trek to Mt Pinatubo, a volcano with a massive crater at the top. Trekking will take you to so many places you wouldn't be able to see otherwise and there are so many hidden gems along the way to discover.
Palawan
The ultimate tropical destination in the Philippines is the region of Palawan. Known for its large limestone karsts emerging from the turquoise ocean, white beaches and tropical rainforests, if you only have time to visit one place in the Philippines, Palawan should be it. While here you have to see the five-mile underground river which is a UNESCO World Heritage Site and one of the New7Wonders of Nature.
Manila
Do not miss the exciting capital while you're in the Philippines. The city is nicknamed "The Pearl of the Orient" and while here you will understand why. Manila is packed full of things to see, do, taste and experience. Most of our tours start and/or finish here but make sure you add a couple of days to fully explore Manila.
