The Philippines is a tropical dream that actually delivers — island-hopping, palm trees for days, secret lagoons, and some of the clearest water you’ll ever swim in. With over 7,000 islands, the hardest part is choosing where to start (spoiler: you can’t go wrong).

​

Palawan is pure magic — limestone cliffs, hidden lagoons, and island-hopping tours that feel straight out of a movie. El Nido and Coron are all-time favourites, with snorkelling, cliff jumping, and beaches that don’t look real. Further south, Siargao is the surf-and-soul capital — laid-back hostels, motorbike missions, coconut trees, and some of the best waves in Asia.

​

Up north? You’ll find epic rice terraces in Banaue, waterfalls tucked into the jungle, and cool mountain towns like Sagada that show off a completely different side of the country. And in between it all, there are underground rivers, whale shark dives, lagoons, caves, and beaches that somehow still fly under the radar.

​

Tours through the Philippines are all about water, sun, and wild experiences — boat trips, cliff dives, karaoke nights, jungle treks, local villages, and seafood feasts fresh from the ocean. You’ll be barefoot more often than not, salty from the sea, and smiling the whole way through.

​

If you’re after turquoise water, warm vibes, epic nature, and an island-hopping adventure that goes way beyond the usual, the Philippines is calling. Just don’t make too many plans — this is the kind of place that pulls you in and makes you stay longer.
