The Great Philippine Escapade starts from your airport of entry - whether in Manila or Clark for an unforgettable 20 days of the best of the Philippines. From exotic cultures, that you did not know existed in this country to the bluest waters you will ever see in your lifetime and the friendliest, most accommodating people on the planet. Yes, there are a lot of superlatives in the description above but you will just have to see that for yourself
- Marvel the majestic rice terraces carved by hand on entire mountains, hidden from the rest of the world. Now a UNESCO Heritage site, the Banaue and Batad Rice Terraces are not to be missed when visiting the Philippines. You will also be surprised that the climate in this region is like nowhere else in the country with temperatures dropping to 6degC
- A couple of hours away is the town of Sagada, blessed with natural wonders - vertical caves, beautiful waterfalls and a unique burial culture of hanging the dead in coffins on the sides of limestone cliffs.
- Hop to the country’s oldest city - Cebu, and get started with the huge party that the Philippines is all about - canyoneering, whale shark interactions and sandbars in turquoise blue waters. You can also the experience the city’s vibrant nightlife after all that beach bumming
- Soak it up at a consistent top spot holder as the world’s best island - Palawan, boasting of one of the New 7 Wonders of the Natural World - the Puerto Princesa Underground River.
- And the highlight - El Nido with its ageless towering marble cliffs, white sandy beaches and crystal clear waters, a true paradise. El Nido is where you fulfill your fantasies of island hopping, bringing along some food, some drinks in a cool box and disappear into this heavenly marine reserve.
- During this whole tour, we will make sure that you get to try the food and drinks in this country, a real gastronomic experience - it’s the Philippines’ turn to shine foodwise.
- If time permits we’ll throw in a free half day city tour of Manila - an unstoppable growing city, which also has its own hidden historical gems.
