A stunning archipelago of islands scattered like diamonds in the warm, tropical seas between Taiwan and Indonesia, the beauty of the unspoiled natural landscape is matched only by the welcoming smile of the people.
Lush, green rainforest slopes cascade down to white-sand, palm-fringed beaches set before glittering blue seas. Unique natural wonders such as the rare and elusive Tarsier and the unforgettable Chocolate Hills of Bohol await you. A rich cultural mix of local custom and residual colonial Spanish influences remain in fishing villages little changed through the centuries and the magnificent remains of 17th Century church architecture. Timeless riverscapes drift lazily past remote communities. And from every doorway, and upon every jetty comes the sound of children’s voices lifted in song.
Let your journey begin with a stroll through the itineraries we have prepared for you.
Interact with tribal communities on the rice terraces of Banaue, still farming and fishing and living as they have for countless generations.
Trek jungle paths on Palawan, or the spectacular river, waterfall and volcano landscapes of Luzon.
Experience the Philippines’ rich cultural heritage in the historic walled city of Intramuros in Manila, or a Spanish church service, or a Taoist rite on the island of Cebu.
Then take a river cruise through Bohol to marvel at the unique natural phenomenon of the Chocolate Hills, and the rare and elusive Tarsier.
End your Philippines adventure with a swim off a stunning, white sand beach on Boracay. Perhaps snorkel the pristine, offshore reefs to experience a wonderland of tropical aquatic life.

Philippines Grand Tour
A comprehensive tour of the Philippines visiting the most important highlights and relaxing on spectacular beaches. Visit the famous rice terraces in Banaue, swim with the white sharks at Donsol, visit the tarsiers in Bohol, and relax, snorkel or dive the pristine waters of Palawan.
Palawan Holidays
The island province of Palawan is the largest province in the Philippines, made up of 1,700 islands and islets. Much of the area is hilly and mountainous with wide spreads of jungle and rainforests with natural caves.
Dumaguete and Siquijor Island Hopping
Uncover the treasures of Dumaguete, a marine conservation park located off its coastline and Siquijor, an island province whose mysticism lies not only in the preternatural beliefs of its people but in the sublime beauty of its natural attractions.
Cebu and Bohol Holidays
In the island of Bohol, nature has played one of her most fascinating wonders - hundreds of limestone moulds covered with thin grass have sprouted from the ground. These turn brown during the dry season and look like "Chocolate Hills".
Banaue Rice Terraces Tour
Many things have been reputed about the Banaue Rice Terraces, but nothing written, photographed or said about them can really describe the sensation of viewing the terraces from a vantage point that gives a perspective of the magnitude of this 2,000-year-old engineering feat.
