Day 4: Rural Bohol excursion with river cruise & lunch

Immerse yourself in the green heart of Bohol, where history meets spectacular natural wonders: be enchanted by the legendary Chocolate Hills and feel the mystical silence in the Bilar jungle before gently gliding over the Loboc River and enjoying local delicacies right on the water. From the venerable walls of Baclayon Church to the gentle gaze of the rare tarsiers at Tarsier Sanctuary, this excursion is an emotional tribute to the unspoiled beauty of the Philippines.

Day 8: Private premium island hopping in El Nido with picnic lunch

Glide through the turquoise paradise of El Nido aboard a traditional Bangka and discover the untouched magic of Snake Island or Helicopter Island and more on your premium private tour.

Top off your day with a luxurious picnic lunch on the white beach, where freshly grilled seafood and tropical fruits become a feast for the senses.

Day 9: Group island hopping in El Nido

Experience the island paradise of El Nido in an exclusive small group and be enchanted by the wild beauty of Cathedral Cave and the mystical rock formations of Cudugnon Cave. Feel the soft sands of the Snake Island Sandbar beneath your feet before diving into a world far away from everyday life on the powdered sugar beaches of Entalula and Popolkan Island. An authentic picnic lunch on the shore crowns this day of discovery as you celebrate together the freedom between turquoise waters and unspoiled nature.
