Included Experience
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: 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.
Moalboal: Dip your toes (and take those photo dump snaps) in the cool blue waters of Kawasan Falls, Alergria Waterfall & Aguinid Falls. You'll also have the chance to swim and trek around.
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 Farmacy'. Here, you'll get to try the freshest farm-to-table lunch, made with ingredients grown on site, or in villages nearby. Expect different flavours with every course alongside a spread of juices and teas. Yum!
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.
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: 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.
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!
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.

ITINERARY
ITINERARYCebu City
Welcome to Asia’s Pearl of the Orient, packed with some of the BEST views of your lifetime! There’s so much to see, and there’s no time to waste. You’ll meet your crew here in Cebu. Drop your bags off & join us for your very first meal of the trip (it’s our treat!).
Cebu City to Moalboal
It’s the first full day. So you best believe we’re living it out to the fullest. We’ll head out in our van to our very first beachy spot of the trip, stopping by for a local style lunch & then a beautiful mystical church too!Yes, we know. You can't wait to witness the fascinating sardine run IRL. So drop your bags off at our hotel, and get ready for a snorkelling adventure here in this picturesque coastal town. Hit the white-sand beach, play volleyball with the locals. And then head into the water for snorkelling, turtles and ofc, the super rare sardine run!
Moalboal
Love waterfalls? You’ll love today. After breakfast, we’ll kick start our journey with a trek towards Aguinid Falls. Then, we'll head to Kawasan Falls & Alergria Falls where you can dip your toes in the water and even take a swim (if that’s your vibe). Expect stunning scenery of beautiful turquoise waters, majestic cascades and wonderfully green forests. Wow.
Moalboal to Bohol
It’s time to say goodbye to the oh-so-beautiful Moalboal. Don’t worry, our next stop is giving those turquoise waters some serious competition. Jaws will drop as you drop your bags off at our scenic riverside resort here. Bohol's known for its luscious landscape & fascinating creatures. But first, you’re in for an once-in-a-lifetime experience tonight - we're riding on a boat to see golden fireflies illuminate the river in the dark!
Bohol
Wakey wakey, grab your brekkie. Today we’re jumping on a tuk tuk (just like the locals!) for a full day of exploring all the countryside sights here. Think: hills that look like chocolate, and a visit to Tarsier Sanctuary with cute tree-hugging monkeys... And for lunch? Oh, not much, just a delicious 8-course meal of the freshest-ever Filipino food.
Bohol to Panglao
Bye-bye Bohol. A dolphin-watching adventure awaits us.One afternoon. Two islands. Plenty of seaside stunners to discover. So hop on the boat for our first stop - Pamilacan Island for snorkelling around the vibrant corals. Keep your eyes peeled for playful dolphins as we cruise through the ocean. Then, we’ll settle down on Virgin Island to catch the golden sunset over the turquoise waters. What a day!
Panglao
All good things in life are free - just like this day. Unwind on the white-sand beach. Get pampered with a massage. Sample local eats. Go snorkelling in the sparkling sea. Do what you please. Rest & relaxation never looked this good…
Panglao to Boracay via Cebu City
Shh, no need to shed tears just yet. We’re heading back to Cebu City today - but only to catch a flight to another sun-kissed island. Fasten your seatbelts and get ready for the final stop of our eastern island adventure. Boracay’s our home base for the next couple of days, and it’s probably one of the most popular ones out here too. So check into your rooms and enjoy a free evening with your fam, here in this sun-kissed paradise.
Boracay
You thought our island hopping adventure was over? Heck no. Suit up for an island hopping day trip! We’ll stop by at plenty of show-stopping spots with crystal clear waters, hidden coves and snorkelling opportunities before heading back to our hotel to rest up.
Boracay to Puerto Princesa
Boracay, you've been beautiful. With 4 show-stopping islands ticked off our lists, it's time for season two of our journey - this time in Palawan!We're here. We've arrived in Palawan. And we're so so ready for more. Dinner's on us tonight, so come hungry!
Puerto Princesa to Port Barton via Underground River
Morning, sunshine lovers! Today’s the first full day on this wonderful island, so you know we’re starting with a bang. You’ll grab some breakfast at the hotel and head straight to the Subterranean River National Park for a fascinating underground endeavour. Ready? Put on your neon helmets. For your very first adventure, you’ll float through an aquamarine river into one of the most complex cave systems in the world. Surrounded by intricate limestone formations (some of them egg-shaped too!) - you’ll have no doubt about why this glorious landscape is an UNESCO World Heritage Site. Bet your eyes are pleased with those gorgeous views. Now it's time to please our tummies - as part of a MAKE TRAVEL MATTER® Experience. You’ll stop by at Nanay Elena’s House for a traditional Filipino meal, made using only the freshest ingredients (that she grows in her own farm!). Afterwards, drop your bags at our beachfront hotel. Relax on the shore. Explore the tiny town. The night is still young, and it’s all yours!
Port Barton
Need your beauty sleep? Or just need to spend some time on the sandy beach? Today’s the day you can do anything you want. Dive into the crystal blue waters. Grab a book and soak in the sun. Go on a morning hike to check out the rocky hills. Or make your own rings & bracelets in a local workshop. Either way, sublime beach vibes are guaranteed here.
Port Barton
Ocean-lovers, unite! Today, we’re going island hopping in our very own private boat. You’ll swim with sea turtles. Snorkel along the vibrant reefs. Grab a scrumptious locally-cooked meal. Dodge waves at the beach. And chill at a starfish sandbar (with your newly-made best friends, of course) as the sun sets over the serene sea. Is this island exploration done right or what?
Port Barton to El Nido
It’s time to bid farewell to our (now) favourite island stop. But don’t worry, there are plenty more destinations here to give it competition. You’ll start the day with some breakfast at the hotel and with no time to waste, head to the next turquoise-tinted spot. A free afternoon to spend in another wonderful tropical paradise? How lucky are we? Taste the local street food. Or check out the unique shops around town. Oh, and please don’t forget to charge your camera!
El Nido
Rise and shine folks. It’s time to hit the road (just like the locals) in a wonderfully colourful, classic Jeepney. First stop? The beautiful Lio Beach. Enjoy the peaceful views and walk the wooden footpath that leads into the ocean. And it doesn’t end there. Next, we’ll head to Bulalacao Waterfalls. It’s gonna be really hard to stop yourself from taking a plunge into the enigmatic milky-white water. The day is not complete yet, we’ll head to the most popular beach in all of Palawan (and maybe even the Philippines, if you ask us) - Nacpan Beach. Finally, we'll end the day at Las Cabanas - one of the best sunset points in the ENTIRE country.
El Nido
It’s not often you get an entire day in a palm tree paradise to spend just the way you please. But the stars must’ve aligned, because today is one of them! You can explore the pristine white-sand beaches while the sun’s out and spend the night chilling with your crew. It’s a ‘you do you’ kinda day.
El Nido to Island Special Stay
Mabuhay, travellers! The sun has risen, and so has the opportunity to explore another destination with crystal clear water. Munch on your final El Nido meal before we catch a boat-transfer. This is what you’ve been waiting for. You’ll drop your bags off at our Special Stay, our next MAKE TRAVEL MATTER® experience where we'll spend time exploring local culture - something straight outta a storybook. Afterwards, you’ll snorkel under the crystal blue water and explore a local shipwreck! We’ll then head to another authentic Filipino experience. Delicious local food served on a long banana leaf across the table devoured with your hands AKA a boodle fight. Finally, we'll light up a soothing bonfire and end the day resting on the shores (next to our rustic beach huts).
Island Special Stay to El Nido
Ah, the final day is here. Make the most of your last meal in this wonderful marine ecstasy. Because we’re heading straight to El Nido. Our island exploration has come to an end. Goodbyes are due. Contacts are shared. Tears are shed. New friends are tagged on insta stories. And perhaps, plans are made to meet again at another destination to reminisce about these unforgettable island hopping memories (and make some new ones too!)
