Philippines West

Day 1  Manila        
Your adventure begins in the Philippines’ bustling capital of Manila. Transfer to your hotel and settle in before a welcome dinner and drinks. If you’re not too jetlagged, head to the buzzing local bars of Makati and dance the night away!        

Day 2  Manila to Port Barton  
Take a speedy flight over to Palawan, then hop into a private minivan to the unspoilt fishing town of Port Baron. On the way, have lunch with a local family to try some national delicacies, and get an insight into a different way of life. Once you’re checked into your beachfront hotel, head out for some sunset beverages with the gang.          

Day 3  Port Barton        
Grab your snorkel and jump into a traditional Banca boat for a day cruising around Palawan’s most beautiful coves and swimming spots. Keep an eye out for sea turtles meandering past, amongst the plethora of multi-coloured fish! The afternoon is free to do with as you please, then freshen up before hitting the best bars in town.    

Day 4  Port Barton to El Nido        
Today you’re headed to the star attraction of Palawan, the incomparably beautiful El Nido. En route, stop for a refreshing waterfall dip, then check into your next hotel. Grab dinner with the group, sit back with a beer, and soak up your first world famous El Nido sunset.  

Day 5  El Nido    
Today you’re off on another island hopping adventure around El Nido’s most pristine lagoons – including an exclusive trip to an incredibly secret beach! Hire a kayak, get your snorkel out, or simply float in the impossibly tranquil, turquoise ocean.        

Day 6  El Nido
Spend today exploring El Nido by land. The next tick off your bucket list is a Mission Impossible style zipline across the water, from island to island. After your adrenaline fix, head to the stunning Nacpan Beach for some down time where you’ll spend the night in a traditional beach hut overlooking the ocean, with a sky full of twinkling stars.  
           
Day 7  El Nido to Daracotan Island      
After breakfast, head to Daracotan Island for a once in a lifetime Castaway experience, search some shipwrecks and take a guided tour of the island. Residents will tell you fascinating tales of their heritage, and in the evening enjoy a local cooking class. Wind down the evening around the fire with a few drinks.          

Day 8  Daracotan Island to Coron      
After a leisurely morning, catch the ferry to the beautiful island of Coron. You’ll be grateful for the lie in, as tonight a big night out is on the cards!  

Day 9  Coron        
For your last full day in the Philippines, explore this iconic island’s immaculate beaches and mind-boggling underwater mountains. Enjoy one last dinner with your new travel family and say fond farewells over drinks.  

Day 10  Coron  
Check out after breakfast and depart at any time.
