Your plane will land at Ninoy Aquino International Airport in Manila, where your guide will pick you up. Your van will first take you to your Manila accommodation, around or along Roxas Boulevard, to check-in. You will then proceed with your tour at Intramuros. This walled area measures 0.67sq.km and encloses numerous notable structures. Your first attraction is Fort Santiago, which was established in 1593. It was used as a defense fortress but now serves as a venue for picnics and an open-air theater. You will next see the Plaza Roma. It is considered the center of Intramuros and features a statue of Charles IV of Spain. Then, you’ll stop by a museum called Bahay Tsinoy, where you can learn about the influence and contributions of the ethnic Chinese in the Philippines’ evolution. Another museum you’ll visit is Casa Manila. Exhibits depicting the way of life during Spanish colonization are displayed. Then, you’ll see the San Diego Gardens and the 16th-century bastion next to it, called Baluarte De San Diego. Your last two attractions are historical and religious structures: San Agustin Church and Museum, a UNESCO World Heritage Site, and Manila Cathedral.

Day Hike with 4x4 Ride, Lunch & Transfers
On the second day of your trip, you will be heading up north to the province of Tarlac. The distance between Manila and Tarlac is about 130km. You will be visiting Mount Pinatubo, an active volcano that had an infamous eruption in the early 90s. It was the 20th century’s second-biggest eruption. Since then, Mount Pinatubo has become a popular tourist attraction. The terrain has become rough as a consequence of the eruption. Roads are craggy and filled with lahar, that’s why during your trip, you will be riding a 4x4 vehicle. It’s best to gear up for the day as it will involve a bit of hiking to reach the crater lake of Mount Pinatubo. You will be walking through an open space, so dress accordingly. There won’t be any shade in the immediate vicinity. The climb is fairly easy and can be done by beginners. At the very end of your journey, you will come upon Mount Pinatubo’s crater lake. It’s quite a sight at the very end that is well worth the hike. Once your trip to Mt. Pinatubo is completed, you will return to the base camp. Your van will take you back to your accommodations in Manila.

On your third day, you will leave Manila and head to Palawan. Your driver will bring you to Ninoy Aquino International Airport. From there, it’s a short flight to the Puerto Princesa International Airport. Upon arrival, you will be transferred to your hotel for check-in.

The first island you will go to is Cowrie Island, where you will find tourist facilities, such as showers, bathrooms, and a dining area. It also has a safe swimming area, and it has a net to keep jellyfish away. This island is the largest among those in Honda Bay. It’s also shaped like a seashell, hence its name.

The first stop of the day is the Big Lagoon. This amazing El Nido spot starts with a narrow entrance that will open up to an amazing view. It is surrounded by limestone cliffs and boasts rich, blue waters. After enjoying the sites of the Big Lagoon, you will go to Shimizu Island, where you can go snorkeling. This is your chance to spot colorful corals and fish.The next destination is not quite a secret anymore. The Secret Lagoon is a favorite site among tourists. This hidden lagoon has a very small entrance, so small that boats can’t enter, and visitors have to crawl through it. Outside the Secret Lagoon is a beautiful beach you can relax in. It’s not a bad spot if you have to wait in line to enter the lagoon. Your last destination, the serene Seven Commandos Beach, has white sand and is lined with palm trees. It is surrounded by lush mountains, a perfect site for travel photos.
