Description

Explore some of the best beaches and stunning natural attractions in Palawan and Boracay Islands when you book this 11-day tour package.

This tour package will take you to two destinations in Palawan Island, often called the “Last Frontier of the Philippines,” which is a sanctuary of blue lagoons, dramatic rock cliffs, and hidden natural wonders, while Boracay Island charms travelers worldwide with its powdery white sands, vibrant nightlife, and a wide array of thrilling water activities.

You won't have to worry about arranging everything yourself, as this tour package in the Philippines already comes with roundtrip flights from Manila City, plus a 20kg baggage allowance.

You’ll stay in comfortable accommodations for 9 nights, including daily breakfast, and travel hassle-free with smooth transfers. Four guided tours are also included, each showcasing natural attractions and idyllic islands.

Your adventure begins in Manila City, the bustling capital of the Philippines. Upon your arrival, a friendly driver will be waiting at the Ninoy Aquino International Airport to take you to your hotel for check-in. 

You can spend the rest of the day enjoying your hotel’s amenities, sampling Filipino cuisine at a nearby restaurant, or taking a casual stroll outside. 

If you wish to dive deeper into the city’s culture, you can upgrade your package and book a guided walking tour of Intramuros, Manila City’s old walled town filled with Spanish-era charm.

Another add-on option is a private trip to the National Museum of the Philippines, where historical artifacts and artistic treasures await.

The following day, after checking out of your hotel in Manila City, you’ll be escorted to the airport for your flight to Palawan Island. 

Upon landing in Puerto Princesa City, your first destination in Palawan Island, a comfortable transfer will bring you to your hotel. Puerto Princesa City is known as the gateway to breathtaking natural wonders like the underground river and pristine beaches. 

Once settled in at your hotel, you can spend the rest of your day however you wish. You can stroll along the city’s baywalk, sample fresh seafood at a local restaurant, visit nearby shops for souvenirs, or simply relax by your hotel’s facilities to ease into the island’s laid-back atmosphere.

On your third day, you will set off on an exciting Puerto Princesa Underground River tour, where you’ll explore the world-renowned UNESCO World Heritage Site featuring majestic rock caves.

A comfortable transfer will bring you to Sabang Wharf, the gateway to this world-famous attraction and one of Palawan Island’s crown jewels. 

From here, you’ll board a small boat that glides across emerald waters and past lush coastal scenery before entering the underground river itself. 

Inside, you’ll be greeted by cathedral-like chambers adorned with dramatic rock formations, stalactites, and stalagmites carved over thousands of years. The gentle sound of water echoing through the cave creates a serene atmosphere, making this journey feel like stepping into another world. 

The experience feels like entering a hidden world where time stands still, making it one of the most unforgettable highlights of Palawan Island. 

After the tour, you’ll return to your hotel with free time to rest or step out for a seafood dinner at one of Puerto Princesa City’s local restaurants.

Your journey continues with an island hopping tour in Honda Bay on your fourth day, a well-known spot in Puerto Princesa City, where you can visit scenic islands, snorkel in crystal-clear waters, and relax on white sandy beaches.

The day begins with a hotel pick-up that will take you to the port, where your boat awaits.  One of your stops is Cowrie Island, a tropical playground perfect for swimming, sunbathing, and enjoying fresh seafood by the shore. 

You’ll also visit Luli Island, famous for its disappearing sandbars that emerge and vanish with the tide, a perfect spot for photos and beach walks. 

Another spot is Starfish Island, where shallow waters are filled with starfish and colorful marine life, making it an ideal place to snorkel. 

When you return to your hotel, you’ll have the rest of the day free to relax or explore Puerto Princesa City at your own pace. You can take a leisurely walk along the baywalk, enjoy a café by the seaside, or simply unwind with the comforts of your hotel.

The following day, your journey continues with a scenic road trip across Palawan as you make your way to your second destination on the island, the idyllic town of El Nido, famous for its dramatic rock cliffs, blue lagoons, and stunning island-hopping adventures.

Once you arrive and check into your hotel, you can spend the rest of your day exploring El Nido town or opt for add-on activities like the canopy walk at Taraw Cliff, which rewards you with sweeping views of Bacuit Bay, or a 3-course dinner at Big Bad Thai Restaurant, known for its flavorful dishes.

On your sixth day, you’ll experience one of the most anticipated highlights of your trip: an island hopping adventure in El Nido town.

One of the best stops is the Big Lagoon, where you can paddle a kayak through crystal-clear waters framed by towering limestone cliffs. The calm surroundings make it perfect for taking photos or simply enjoying the silence of nature.

Another attraction you will visit in this tour is Payong-Payong Beach, a sheltered cove ideal for swimming and relaxing on the sand. This spot also makes a great place to take a break, enjoy the sea breeze, and admire the dramatic rock formations nearby.

After your tour, your guide will take you back to your hotel, where you can relax and enjoy the rest of your day. You can savor a delicious dinner in one of the seaside restaurants in El Nido town or stroll through its lively streets.

On your seventh day, you’ll have a full day in El Nido town to spend however you wish. You can take it easy with a quiet morning by the beach, explore local shops for souvenirs, or try out one of the town’s cozy cafés for a taste of Palawan Island’s laid-back charm.

For those looking to see more, you may book additional tours.

One of the tours you can book will bring you to stunning spots like the Small Lagoon, Secret Beach, and Hidden Beach. 

If you prefer something off the beaten path, you can choose the Sibaltan Heritage tour, where you’ll visit a traditional fishing village on the eastern coast of Palawan Island. This immersive experience gives you the chance to learn about local weaving, fishing methods, and the everyday traditions of the community.

The next day, your time in El Nido town comes to a close as you embark on the last leg of this vacation package in the Philippines, Boracay Island, one of the most famous beach destinations in the world.

You will check out of your hotel in El Nido town, and your friendly driver will pick you up and take you to Lio Airport, as you'll reach the island via a short flight. 

After arriving and checking into your hotel, you can begin your Boracay Island experience with a walk along White Beach, where powdery sands and swaying palms create the perfect tropical scene. 

As the sun sets, the beachfront transforms into a lively stretch filled with music, bars, and restaurants, giving you plenty of options for dining and nightlife.

For an unforgettable start to your Boracay Island getaway, you can upgrade your package to include an add-on private sunset paraw sailing trip. A paraw is a traditional outrigger sailboat, and gliding across Boracay Island’s waters at golden hour is both peaceful and romantic. 

You can also indulge in an add-on 5-course dinner at Aria Cucina Italiana, one of the island’s most beloved restaurants. Here, you’ll enjoy authentic Italian cuisine with dishes like freshly baked wood-fired pizza, handmade pasta, and decadent desserts, all served in a stylish setting right by the beach.

On your ninth day, you’ll set out on an unforgettable Boracay Island hopping tour.

One of the highlights of this tour is Puka Beach, a quieter and more natural stretch of sand known for its abundance of seashells and relaxed atmosphere. It’s a great spot to swim or simply enjoy the peace away from the busier parts of the island.

The adventure continues at Crocodile Island, a rocky islet surrounded by crystal-clear waters teeming with fish and coral. This is one of the best places for snorkeling, where you can spot colorful marine life beneath the waves.

In between these adventures, you’ll be treated to a seaside lunch by the beach with tasty crabs, giving you a taste of Boracay Island’s fresh and flavorful seafood. 

When you return to your hotel, you can cap off the day with a sunset stroll along White Beach or enjoy a cocktail at one of the beachfront bars.

On day 10, enjoy your last morning to savor Boracay Island. You can enjoy a leisurely breakfast by the beach, take a final swim in the turquoise waters, or make use of your hotel’s facilities before your departure. If time permits, you can also step out for last-minute souvenir shopping.

When you’re ready, you will check out of your accommodation in Boracay Island, and your driver will pick you up and bring you to the airport for your flight back to Manila  City. 

Upon your arrival, a transfer service will be waiting to bring you to your hotel. With the rest of the day free, you can choose to relax, enjoy a nice dinner, or do some last-minute shopping in the capital.
