About the Tour

Join us for a 5N/6D tropical adventure to the Philippines, a dazzling island nation where every moment feels like a scene from a travel postcard. This Southeast Asian gem offers untouched beauty and heart-thumping adventure in equal measure. In October, the Philippines is vibrant and inviting – fewer crowds, lush landscapes, and the perfect tropical breeze. Stay at stunning 4-star hotels & resorts, snorkel through the surreal Sardine Run at Pescador Island, dip into the bluest waters at Kawasan Falls, spot tiny tarsiers in Bohol, and soak in the charm of heritage-filled Cebu. It’s the kind of island escape that promises both serenity and thrill, all without crossing oceans to find paradise.

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, and 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.

Did you know that the Philippine tarsier has eyes bigger than its brain, and each eye is about the same size as its entire skull?

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 Beyond the Sea”, and let the islands write your next story.
