Philippines is the place to travel to get away from life back home to eat great food at tons of great restaurants or go on a euphoric shopping spree at the endless amount of shopping areas on the streets of Metro Manila. It is the place to go to for some of the best diving spots in the world and go island hopping around the hybrid city of Cebu. It is the place to go eat great food, enjoy water sports and walk on some of the finest white sand in the world on the 4 kilometer long beach line of Boracay. It is the place to go or be to create great memories.
Here are some of our philippine pride....
- Manila, the somewhat daunting capital and pulsating hub of the Philippines, is situated on the east coast of Luzon, the most northerly island, also the largest and the most developed. The city was founded in 1571 on the site of a Muslim settlement. Its major tourist attraction is the old Spanish walled city, known as Intramuros, which contains some historic buildings and ruins.
- The island-province of Cebu sits in the center of the Philippine archipelago and is served by international and domestic charter flights to and from its airport; Cebu is also a shipping crossroads. It is therefore a good jumping-off point for island hopping to the tropical islets of the central Visayas region. Within easy reach are the caves and lagoons of Calanggaman and Gato; the beaches of Argao, Oslop and Carmen; and the favorite dive spots of Moalboal, Badian, Mactan and Olango.
- Boracay is an island of the Philippines located approximately 315 km (200 miles) south of Manila and 2 km off the northwest tip of Panay Island in the Western Visayas region of the Philippines. In 1990, it was voted by the BMW Tropical Beach Handbook as one of the best beaches in the world and again in 1996 by British publication TV Quick as the world's number one tropical beach.
- Panglao is an island in the Philippines located in the Central Visayas. Politically, it is divided into two municipalities: Dauis and Panglao, both of Bohol Province. Panglao is located southwest of the island of Bohol and east of Cebu.
- Davao is center of the Philippines fruit and flower-growing region, and an annual festival (the Kadawayan Festival) is held in August to celebrate the bounty of the fields and the different tribal cultures. The region is also home to the endangered Philippine Eagle, and the rare Vanda Sanderiana orchid. Like the rest of the Philippines, of course, the Mindanao region and its many islands also offer thousands of tropical beaches and dive sites, most accessible only by the most intrepid of adventure travelers. Davao has little to recommend it, the attraction of the city is its accessibility to a beautiful surrounding rural landscape of hills and fertile valleys, dominated by the massive 9,692ft (2,954m) Mount Apo, a dormant volcano that is the Philippine's highest mountain peak.
- Splash Island at Southwoods Ecocentrum in Binan, Laguna. Slides, rides and attractions were designed to provide people with a day filled with aqua thrills and adventure.
- Vigan is the capital of Ilocos Sur, a province located in Northern Luzon. What makes this town really popular is this street – Calle Crisologo – a half-kilometer cobblestoned street lined with Spanish architecture, simply a virtual tourist playground. For a moment, you will be transported to the Spanish-era and have a “feel” of the decade
- Lakawon island (Negros Occidental)
- Coron Palawan Island Loop - The itinerary for our second day is the Coron Island Loop. This loop normally includes Banol Beach, Shipwreck site, Twin Lagoons, Barracuda Lake, CYC Beach, and Siete Picados. We opted not to go to CYC which is a public beach, and Barracuda Lake was off-limits at that time due to an incident which.
