Detailed Itinerary
Day 1: Arrive in Manila
Welcome to Manila. Upon arrival check in to your accommodation to settle in and relax after your long international flight.
If you're up for a little exploration, there are a number of shopping malls close to your hotel as well as a variety of bars and nightclubs a short driving distance away.
Days 2-4: Transfer to and relax in Boracay
Transfer to Boracay - home to one of the most beautiful beaches in the world. It is by far the most popular tourist destination in the Philippines and as such it has world-class resorts, great restaurants, and an active nightlife scene.
Attractions in Boracay include kitesurfing, parasailing, jet skiing, and a variety of additional water sports activities to suit your interests. Diving and island hopping tours are also available.
Spend your days relaxing on the beach enjoying a cocktail, and dining on seafood as you watch the sunset in the evenings.
Chat with a local specialist who can help organize your trip.
Days 5-7: Transfer to and explore El Nido
Today you will head west to El Nido in Palawan—another great location offering stunning views of lagoons, hidden beaches, and small remote islands, waiting for you to explore.
Choose between several 5-star private island resorts that offer all-inclusive benefits. Alternatively, if you'd like to stay in a boutique resort tucked away in the jungle on the mainland, there's that as an option too.
Day 8: Transfer to Coron Island
Today you will take a fast ferry (3-4 hours) from El Nido to Coron. Check into either your 5-star private island resort or a hotel in Coron town to be closer to the action.
Coron is chock full of stunning vistas—have your camera ready to snap postcard-perfect photos wherever you turn. The island remains quite undeveloped, therefore heightening your tropical experience.
Coron island hopping
Today is a full day of exploring Coron's most popular attractions. Join your island hopping tour and discover the twin lagoons, Kayangan Lake, Coral Eden, and Siete Pecados.
You will have the option to join either a group tour (using a pump boat) or a private tour with a speedboat. Though the latter is more expensive, it offers a richer experience as you'll be able to reach all locations ahead of the crowds. It also allows you to have full control over your tour's itinerary.
Enjoy the day traveling between the islands, stopping to swim and snorkel as you like.
Day 10: Coron snorkeling tour
Join one of the Philippines' most interesting snorkeling tours today and discover nearby shipwrecks that date to World War II.
You'll snorkel the Sangat and Lusong shipwrecks and also have some time in Coral Eden and Pass Island.
Day 11: Return to Manila - Depart
Today you will return to Manila. Depending on your departure details, you may wish to explore more of the capital city before catching your flight home.
