Your Destination —
The religions, ethnicity, language and scenery varies hugely from island to island, resulting in an ever changing, multi layered experience of authentic Asia.
Manila, where you begin your tour, is a maze of energy, where you can eat, drink, shop and sing (at one of the numerous karaoke bars!) 24 hours a day. With chaotic traffic blaring noisy horns, street food stalls wafting smells of delicious fried treats and lofty skyscrapers peppering the skyline.
Bohol, where you will end is the other end of the spectrum, boasting lush jungle interiors, world class diving and pristine white beaches.
Highlights on this tour include:
- The 2,000 year old rice terraces in Banaue
- The "Chocolate Hills" in Bohol
- The eerie hanging coffins in Sagada

The burst of colors, so fresh and diverse, is a pleasing sight to see in the early morning rush hour.
