Philippines  • 11-DayIsland Explorer

With everything from beach hostels to 5-star hotels, Boracay has long been established as THE top destination in the Philippines! Most of the action on this gem of an island goes down on the famous White Beach. Dotted with high fashion boutiques, world class dining, hip brew pubs and thumping night clubs, White Beach is the place to be in Boracay. A short ride across the island on Bulabog beach is where the group sets up shop. Home to many boutique hostels, relaxed pubs and restaurants, Bulabog has established itself as the more laid-back beach on the island. A little more quiet and relaxed than White Beach, you won’t see any Gucci stores on Bulabog. As well as being one of the great kite boarding beaches in the world, it is also a great place to spend a lazy afternoon sipping drinks on the beach and talking small with your group mates and the friendly locals.

Experience lively luxury on white beach, world class watersports on Bulabog Beach, or unbelievable sunsets on Pukka Beach. Jump off limestone cliffs into stunning emerald waters. Take a trip around the island in a traditional paraw boat, or hit up the mainland for a mountain bike journey to a tropical forest where you can lazily tube down a river, or try your hand at fishing the traditional way. Boracay is a blast, and our amazing guesthouse partners have some real treats in store for us, as they operate some of the best day trips on the island.

With fairy-tale landscapes and critters, Bohol is perhaps our most unique stop in the Philippines. Not quite as popular as big brother Boracay, but every bit as handsome, Bohol is well known for it’s abundance of white sand beaches and world class snorkeling and diving. If you are thinking of learning to dive, Bohol is indeed one of the very best places you could choose to do so. Dolphin and whale shark tours are also a popular activity during certain times of the year.

Aside from the beautiful beaches and world class diving, Bohol is also famous for their unique scenery and wildlife. The island is home to the famous Chocolate Hills, a network of over 1200 odd cone shaped hills that in dry season look a lot like chocolate chips. Bohol is also famous as being one of the last homes to one of the world’s smallest and most odd looking primates. With a tiny body, long boney hands and feet, and a giant head with big bug eyes, the Tarsier is one of the most peculiar creatures you will ever see. Tiny monkeys, giant snakes, majestic sea turtles and the elusive whale shark, oh my! Bohol is an ecological wonderland and a nature lover’s weird dream come to life.
