Incredible 10-Day Sightseeing & Island Hopping Tour to Bohol, Cebu & Puerto Princesa from Manila

The next day, you will be picked up from your hotel in Manila and brought back to the airport so you can catch your flight to Bohol. Upon landing in the province, a different driver will pick you up and bring you to your accommodations in Bohol so you can check in. Afterward, you will be picked up so you can go on your first complimentary activity on this Philippine tour package. 

The Panglao Island tour will take you to some of the top attractions on the island. Your first stop is either the St. Augustine Parish or Dauis Church. Both churches have picturesque interiors and offer a peek into the local culture. Your next stops are Shell Museum and Moadto Strip. After visiting these attractions, you’ll head to Hinagdanan Cave, which features a natural pool where you can enjoy swimming. You’ll then visit Bohol Bee Farm so you can sample their unique and delicious dishes (own expense) before capping off your tour at Alona Beach, one of the most popular beaches in Bohol.

Enjoy your breakfast at the hotel, and then prepare for your first island-hopping tour on your Philippine itinerary. This trip will bring you to two of the most visited islands in the province, Balicasag and Virgin Islands. You’ll board a boat that will take you to these islands. Your first stop is Balicasag Island, but before arriving there, you will have a chance to see dolphins in the open sea. If you’re lucky, you will be able to see these creatures frolicking in the water. 

When you arrive at Balicasag Island, you can either chill on the beach or enjoy snorkeling in its waters. The island is home to a marine sanctuary, so you will be able to see thriving marine life, which includes colorful coral, and a variety of fish. You may even chance upon adorable sea turtles! Meanwhile, Virgin Island is a sandbar that provides a stunning view of the sea and its surroundings. Take some photos before returning to your boat and going back to the mainland.

This is your last full day in Bohol on this Philippine vacation. You can spend it however you like, but if you want to go on more Philippine tours, you can book an add-on activity. Your first option is a countryside tour which includes a river cruise lunch, while your other option is a trip to Napaling, where you can experience a sardine run.

Should you book the countryside tour, it will bring you to iconic Bohol attractions like the Baclayon Church and the Chocolate Hills. You will also stop at a Tarsier Sanctuary and enjoy lunch as you cruise along the Loboc River. 

The tour in Napaling, meanwhile, will take you to a reef where you can snorkel and see thousands of sardines swimming in unison, creating a massive glimmering wall underwater. 

For a hassle-free experience, both tours already come with transfers.

Check out of your accommodations in Bohol and wait to be picked up by your designated driver. To get from Bohol to Cebu, you will board a ferry. Once in Cebu, another driver will pick you up from the port and bring you to your accommodations in Cebu so you can check in.

After checking in, you have the option to go on an add-on tour. This tour will take you to some of Cebu City’s top attractions, including Magellan’s Cross, the Basilica Minore del Santo Niño, the Heritage of Cebu Monument, and the Yap-Sandiego House. These stops will help you appreciate and learn more about the history and culture of Cebu and the Philippines.

Before you leave Cebu, you have another complimentary tour. You will head to Oslob in South Cebu so you can see whale sharks and marvel at majestic waterfalls. You will be picked up early in the morning so you can make the most of your time. After arriving in Oslob, you will board a boat that will bring you to the whale shark-watching area. While it is highly likely that you will encounter whale sharks on this tour, it is not guaranteed. You may swim near these gentle creatures if you chance upon them, but always remember not to disturb them for everyone’s safety. 

Your next stop is Tumalog Falls, a stunning cascade in Oslob that is estimated to be about 80 to 100 meters in height. You can cool off at tits natural pool before returning to your Cebu accommodations. (Tumalog Falls is temporarily closed and will be temporarily replaced by a monkey-viewing activity in Oslob.)

Take advantage of the free breakfast at your hotel before checking out. A driver will pick you up and drop you off at the Mactan-Cebu International Airport so you can catch your flight from Cebu to Puerto Princesa. After arriving at Puerto Princesa, you will be picked up by a different driver and escorted to your hotel so you can check in.

If you want to maximize your time in Puerto Princesa, you may book an add-on tour. You can choose from three: a firefly-watching tour at Iwahig River, a tour of the top attractions in the city, including the Iwahig Penal Colony, or a sightseeing tour of Puerto Princesa with a stop at the Crocodile Farm.

Your last Philippine island-hopping tour for this trip is scheduled for today. You will be picked up from your accommodations in Puerto Princesa and then head to Honda Bay. A boat will be waiting for you there. After boarding the boat, you will head to your first stop, Starfish Island. Named so because of the starfish that you can see in its waters, the island is a great spot for snorkeling.

Next on your tour is Luli Island, a sandbar that only appears during low tide. There are cottages here that you can rent if you want respite from the rays of the sun. Finally, you’ll visit Cowrie Island, where you can enjoy your complimentary lunch. Make the most of your visit by getting a massage in one of the cabanas near the beach (own expense). Afterward, you’ll head back to your accommodations on the mainland. 

Today is your last full day on this Philippine tour package, and you can spend it relaxing in your hotel in Puerto Princesa. If you want to see more of Puerto Princesa’s attractions, you may book an add-on tour of the Puerto Princesa Underground River. 

This tour will take you to the renowned UNESCO World Heritage Site. You will be picked up from your accommodations in Puerto Princesa and head to Sabang Wharf, the main gateway to the underground river. A boat will take you to the entrance to the caves, and you will have to transfer to a smaller paddleboat that will take you inside. Once inside, you will be able to see stunning rock formations with different shapes. You will also spot stalactites and stalagmites. The caves are also home to bats, birds, and reptiles, and if you chance upon them, make sure not to disturb them. After exploring the underground river, you will head back to Sabang Wharf, where you will enjoy a buffet lunch before heading back to your accommodations in Puerto Princesa. 

Enjoy your complimentary breakfast at your accommodations in Puerto Princesa. You still have time to explore some of the nearby attractions before checking out. After checking out, wait to be picked up by your driver so you can head to the Puerto Princesa International Airport so you can catch your flight back to Manila, officially ending your Philippine holiday package.
