Your itinerary in brief

Unveiling the heart of the Visayas, this 10 - 14 day journey weaves through landscapes of striking contrasts, from Cebu’s vibrant coral reefs teeming with marine life to Siquijor’s time-honoured healing traditions.

 

The waters off Turtle Island reveal a kaleidoscope of tropical fish, while encounters with vast schools of sardines and the elusive whale shark offer a glimpse into an extraordinary underwater world. In Siquijor, dense forests conceal age-old balete trees, and folklore lingers in every whisper of the breeze. Bohol, with its undulating Chocolate Hills, cradles one of the world’s smallest primates, the wide-eyed tarsier, within its rich biodiversity.

 

Designed for those seeking both adventure and tranquillity, this private tour blends exploration with immersive cultural experiences. Glide across azure waters, tracing hidden coves and unspoiled shores, before delving into Bohol’s lush countryside, where ancient villages and age-old churches reflect the island’s storied past. Each day unfolds at a considered pace, offering a seamless balance of discovery, relaxation, and connection with the region’s vibrant traditions.

Your destination

The Philippines

An archipelago of 7,107 islands, the Philippines is a land of contrasts, where turquoise waters meet emerald rice terraces, and volcanic peaks rise above colonial-era towns. Nestled between the South China Sea, the Philippine Sea, and the Celebes Sea, it offers an ever-changing tapestry of landscapes and cultures, shaped by centuries of trade and migration.

 

Must-sees:

 

  • Banaue Rice Terraces – Hand-carved into the mountains over 2,000 years ago, these UNESCO-listed terraces are often called the "Eighth Wonder of the World."
  • Taal Volcano – A lake within a volcano within a lake, this geological marvel offers an otherworldly landscape and panoramic views.
  • Siargao – Beyond its famous surf breaks, this island is home to mangrove forests, hidden lagoons, and a thriving local art scene.

 

Culinary culture:

 

Filipino cuisine is a fusion of Malay, Chinese, Spanish, and American influences, yet its soul remains deeply local. Kinilaw, a fresh seafood ceviche marinated in coconut vinegar, rivals its Latin American counterpart, while lechon, slow-roasted whole pig, is a centrepiece of any celebration. In Bicol, expect a fiery kick from laing, a rich coconut-infused taro leaf dish. Street food lovers should sample isaw (grilled chicken intestines) for a true taste of the bustling markets.

 

Dive deeper:

 

Beyond its postcard-perfect beaches, the Philippines is a haven for cultural immersion. Visit Tawi-Tawi, where Bajau sea nomads maintain ancient maritime traditions, or explore the Ifugao huts, built without nails, showcasing pre-colonial architecture. Festivals like Panagbenga in Baguio transform cities into a riot of colour, celebrating indigenous craftsmanship and dance.

 

Good to know:

 

The ideal time to visit is between December and May, when drier weather makes island-hopping and trekking more accessible. Public transport is varied, from the iconic jeepneys - remnants of US military jeeps - to bangkas, traditional outrigger boats used for inter-island travel. English is widely spoken, but regional dialects like Cebuano and Ilocano add depth to local interactions.
