Tour Overview

The Philippines is one of Southeast Asia's most extraordinary family destinations — an archipelago of over 7,000 islands where ancient history, vibrant cities, pristine beaches, and remarkable wildlife all come together. This ten-day private escorted journey takes families through three unforgettable destinations: the buzzing capital Manila, the lush island of Bohol, and the stunning coastal city of Cebu.

From riding dugout canoes through jungle rapids to swimming with sardines and spotting rare tarsiers in the wild, every day is packed with adventure the whole family will treasure. Travelling by private air-conditioned vehicle with a dedicated English-speaking guide throughout, this tour is designed to be seamless, comfortable, and fun for all ages.

Journey at a Glance

•    Days 1–3 — Manila: Arrive and settle into the capital. Explore the historic Intramuros walled city, Rizal Park, Fort Santiago, San Agustin Church, Manila Cathedral, and the vast SM Mall of Asia. Then head out of the city for a full-day excursion to Pagsanjan Falls — riding the rapids by dugout canoe, swimming, and exploring a hidden cave.

•    Days 4–6 — Bohol: Fly to the island of Bohol for three nights. Discover the iconic Chocolate Hills, a man-made forest, and the famous Tarsier Sanctuary, before cruising the Loboc River through lush riverside villages. Then head to Pamilacan Island for dolphin and whale watching, snorkelling, and diving in one of the Philippines' most biodiverse marine reserves.

•    Days 7–9 — Cebu: Take the ferry to Cebu for a half-day city tour taking in Fort San Pedro, Magellan's Cross, and the Basilica Minore del Santo Nino. Spend a day island hopping around Moalboal — snorkelling with sardines and sea turtles at Pescador Island, spotting dolphins, and relaxing at Basdaku White Beach. Day 9 is free for leisure or optional activities.

•    Day 10 — Departure: Transfer to Mactan Airport for your onward flight.
