About the Tour

Join us for a 5N/6D tropical escape to Mauritius, a slice of Africa like you’ve never seen before — where white-sand beaches, turquoise lagoons, and volcanic landscapes come together in perfect harmony. Often described as a blend of the Caribbean, Southeast Asia, and a European beach town, Mauritius offers the best of all worlds. August is the perfect time to visit — cool, dry, and sun-kissed, it’s winter here, but it feels just right as it’s a tropical country. Stay in a luxury beachside resort, cruise to the dreamy Île aux Cerfs, explore sacred lakes and vibrant coastal towns, and soak in the warmth of Creole culture. It’s a world-class island getaway — without the world-class price tag.

Welcome to Philippines – a journey that feels like a dream and reads like a storybook, but it’s all real. The Philippines isn’t just a place you visit. It’s a place that stays with you.

This is a land where waterfalls glow in emerald blue, where millions of sardines move like silver clouds beneath the sea, and where colonial ruins whisper stories of centuries past. With over 7,000 islands, the Philippines is an endless invitation to be amazed.

Imagine standing at the edge of Kawasan Falls, the mist kissing your face as turquoise waters crash into deep jungle pools. Tucked inside Cebu’s lush jungles, Kawasan feels like a scene out of a fantasy film – natural pools, bamboo rafts, and jungle mist all around. It’s not just a waterfall, it’s a retreat for the senses.

Did you know that Kawasan Falls in Cebu is often called “the bluest water in Southeast Asia” and is one of the most photographed waterfalls in all of Asia?

Down in Moalboal, the ocean turns magical, as if the sea itself begins to shimmer. Step into the water and suddenly, you’re surrounded by a living cyclone of silver where you see millions of sardines swirling in perfect harmony, catching the light like liquid stardust. No boat, no deep dive. It’s just you, the sea, and a moment that feels like you’re floating inside a dream.

Did you know that Moalboal is one of the only places on Earth where the sardine run happens right off the shore?

Nearby, the reef-ringed Pescador Island offers kaleidoscopic coral gardens, playful fish, and the chance to swim alongside sea turtles in crystal-clear waters.

Explore historic landmarks like Magellan’s Cross, the Basilica del Santo Niño, and vibrant local neighborhoods filled with culture, color, and unforgettable food. In Cebu City, colonial charm, ocean breezes, and island energy meet in perfect balance.

Did you know that Cebu City is older than Manila and was once the capital of the Philippines?

Across the waters in Bohol, the surreal takes over. The Chocolate Hills, more than 1,200 perfectly shaped mounds,  rise like nature’s sculpture garden.

The landscapes continue to defy logic. Chocolate Hills, over 1,200 perfectly symmetrical mounds, spread like nature’s own illusion. Green during the rains, chocolatey brown in summer. Science calls it geology. You’ll call it unbelievable.

Get up close with tiny Tarsiers, wide-eyed creatures no bigger than your hand. Drift peacefully on the Loboc River under a canopy of palm trees. Stand amid coral-stone walls at the haunting Cuartel Ruins, frozen in time.

In Manila, find a different rhythm. It’s bold, layered, and full of contrast. Walk the cobbled lanes of Intramuros, the walled Spanish-era heart of the capital.

Did you know that Intramuros has survived wars, earthquakes, and centuries, but still stands proud?

On Pagsanjan River, skilled boatmen will paddle you upstream through lush canyons and echoing gorges, where every turn feels cinematic. It’s like you’re drifting into a forgotten world. The grand finale: a waterfall that roars like applause as you float underneath it. You won’t just see it. You’ll feel it.

Did you know that this route inspired scenes in several international films, and the ride is powered purely by paddle? 

This trip is not just a holiday. It’s a mosaic of jaw-dropping sights, slow-burn emotions, and shared wonder – all tied together with thoughtful planning, comfort, and company. From emerald waters to ancient walls, the Philippines isn’t just seen. It’s felt. Join “Philippines by the Islands”,  and let the islands write your next story.
