El Nido

If you've ever wondered what paradise on Earth looks like, it's this. Rugged limestone cliffs covered in wilderness. Pearly white beaches backed by palm trees. Secret lagoons and shimmering pools of bright sapphire. Even more stunning in person on our Philippines tours, El Nido promises views so beautiful, it almost feels unreal.

Coron

Adventure calls in Coron, with historic wreck diving spots and tropical marine life on offer. This breathtaking bay is home to some of the best snorkelling on the planet!

Kawasan Falls

Reconnect with nature inside Kawasan Falls, one of the most popular day trip activities in Cebu. Famed for its bright turquoise waters, rugged cliffs and surrounding jungle, it's the definition of heavenly. More than a breathtaking setting to kick back in, adventure is around every corner - especially if you go canyoneering!

Puerto Princesa National Park

Flowing from the mountain rivers to the sea, Puerto Princesa National Park has one of the most staggering cave systems on Earth. Only reachable by boat, it's like entering a whole new world as you float along the waters. The ancient rock formations here will make your jaw drop, and if you look closely, you may spot some sleepy wildlife.

The Coral Triangle

Curious about what makes the Philippines such an iconic snorkelling destination? This island country is located inside the Coral Triangle, which many say is like the Amazon Rainforest but for ocean animals. Home to more coral species than anywhere else on Earth, and six of the world's seven sea turtle species, it's an experience that's pure magic.

When you return to shore, vibrant beach bars and tasty local restaurants await.


Philippines Travel Advice

The Philippines is an island-hopping destination, with over 7,000 islands in its territory. All of these islands are tropical and experience high temperatures and humidity year-round. While the Philippines' dry season lasts from December to May, its lush wet season falls from June to November. Rain showers in the Philippines typically come in short and sharp spells.

Average annual temperatures are generally consistent, ranging between 28℃ to 35℃. January is the coolest month, whereas May is the warmest.

Best Time to Visit

The best time to visit the Philippines is unique to each traveller. December to February is the most popular time to travel in the Philippines - thanks to the favourable weather conditions. For travellers looking to save on flights, either March to May or September to October may be great options.

As a predominantly Christian country, it's common to start celebrating Christmas as early as September. One popular celebration in Cebu is the Sinulog Festival: a vibrant fiesta with street parades, held at the end of January.

Customs & Culture

The Philippines is a warm and welcoming country, offering a melting pot of a variety of cultures. The party scene is incredible here, with colourful festivals and celebrations held throughout the year. No trips to the Philippines are complete without trying karaoke here - which is a favourite pastime among friends and family!

One popular tradition is "Bayanihan", which means to help others without expecting anything in return. Punctuality is generally relaxed in the Philippines. For guidance on cultural customs, your trip leader on our Philippines tours will help you out.
