10-Day Beautiful Islands, Countryside & Nature Tour to El Nido, Cebu, Bohol & Pampanga from Manila

For day 2, you’ll be picked up from your hotel before 8 AM for your day tour to Pampanga. During your stay in the province, you’ll hop aboard a 4x4 vehicle for an exciting ride along a challenging lahar trail that takes you to Puning Hot Spring Station 1, where you can relax in 11 hot springs. After your time in the springs, you’ll head to Station 2 to enjoy a soothing sand spa session. 

Following your rejuvenating sand spa experience, you’ll be treated to a mud pack treatment. You’ll then head back to Station 1 afterward. You will also be treated to a tasty lunch before a driver escorts you back to your hotel in Metro Manila. 
 

On day 3, you'll take a flight to El Nido. After getting settled in your new accommodations, you'll have the opportunity to explore the area at your leisure. On your first day in El Nido, we suggest exploring inland attractions that are easily accessible either via public transportation or by arranging transfers.

Among the top destinations you should consider are Nacpan Beach and Maremegmeg Beach, both known for their powdery shores and captivating views. Additionally, both beaches offer a selection of restaurants and bars. If you're up for it, you can also embark on a hike up Taraw Cliff, rewarding yourself with a breathtaking panoramic view of El Nido town and Bacuit Bay.
 

The next morning, you'll go on an island-hopping excursion to El Nido’s best spots. You have the option to select from four different tours: A, B, C, or D. 

Tour A will bring you to attractions such as Secret Lagoon and Shimizu Island, while Tour B takes you to Snake Island and Cudognon Cave. Tour C includes highlights like Secret Beach and Hidden Beach, and Tour D will show you Cadlao Lagoon and Paradise Beach.

Each of these tours includes transfers between the islands so you can relax and take in the sea breeze stress-free. Additionally, you’ll be treated to a delicious lunch during each tour.
 

You’ll leave El Nido today and fly to Cebu City. Upon your arrival in Cebu, you'll be greeted by a designated driver who escort you to your new accommodations. Take a moment to unwind in your room and recharge before embarking on your adventures in Cebu.

During your leisure time, explore Cebu at your own pace. Consider visiting historical landmarks like Magellan's Cross or indulging in a shopping spree at Carbon Market. Don't miss the opportunity to savor local delicacies at Larsian BBQ or immerse yourself in the lively nightlife at Mango Square, too! 
 

On day 6, you’ll go on a tour of the best places in and around Cebu City. The first stop is the Heritage of Cebu Monument, featuring statues depicting key historical events in Cebu's history. Next, you'll visit the Yap-San Diego Ancestral House, one of the city's oldest structures. Magellan's Cross, symbolizing the birth of Christianity in Cebu, comes next, housing the cross believed to have been brought by explorer Ferdinand Magellan. 

Then, you'll explore the Basilica Minore del Santo Niño and the Pedro Calungsod Church. Before ending the day and returning to the hotel, you’ll be taken on a running tour of South Road Properties, Colon Street, Fuente Osmena Circle, and the Capitol Site.
 

The next day, you’ll go on a whale shark-watching tour in Oslob with a side trip to Tumalog Falls. After you've been picked up, you’ll head to the port and hop in a boat that will take you to the whale shark-watching area. If you’re lucky, you’ll get to see these majestic creatures in their natural habitat. 

Your final destination will be Tumalog Falls, another remarkable attraction in Oslob, which is known for its impressive height. The water gracefully descends from an estimated height of 80 to 100 meters into a shallow pool of turquoise water. The falls not only captivates with its beauty and picturesque scenery but also invites visitors to enjoy a refreshing dip in its pool. (Tumalog Falls is temporarily closed and will be temporarily replaced by a monkey-viewing activity in Oslob.)

You’ll leave Cebu today and head to the neighboring province of Bohol via a scenic ferry ride. A driver will then escort you to your new hotel so you can settle in and refresh after your trip. Afterward, you’ll go on a tour of Bohol’s scenic countryside.  

The day's itinerary includes a visit to the historic Baclayon Church, followed by a stop at the Corella Tarsier Sanctuary and a delightful lunch cruise along Loboc River. After the river tour, the journey continues with a visit to Bilar Man-Made Forest before heading to the Chocolate Hills viewing deck. On the way back to the hotel, you’ll also make a quick stop at the Aproniana Souvenir Shop. 
 

On day 9 of this multi-day tour, you’ll go on an island-hopping and dolphin-watching tour. After you’ve been fetched around 5 to 6 AM, you’ll head to the port and transfer to a boat. Your first activity for the day will be a dolphin-watching experience near Balicasag Island. If you’re lucky, you’ll spot these gentle creatures frolicking in the water. 

Following this, you'll cruise to Balicasag Island, known for its lively marine life that makes it a popular spot for snorkeling and diving. You’ll then end your tour at Virgin Island, featuring a stunning white sandbar. Capture memories with photographs and savor the remainder of your trip before returning to your hotel.
