Meet your Trip Manager and fellow travellers over an included welcome dinner in Cebu City. Share a table, get to know the group and settle into the easygoing spirit of an island-hopping trip.

Cebu is a lively gateway to the central Philippines, where local food reflects both island ingredients and centuries of cultural exchange. This hosted meal offers a chance to connect with the people you’ll be exploring alongside.

Explore Simala Church in southern Cebu, a pilgrimage site known for its elaborate, castle-like architecture. Walk through the church grounds and hear from your Trip Manager about the devotion that draws visitors here from across the Philippines.

Also known as the Monastery of the Holy Eucharist, Simala is associated with stories of answered prayers and healing. Its quiet spaces offer a closer look at the role of Catholic faith in Filipino life.

Walk to a tropical waterfall in southern Cebu, following a short trail into lush surroundings. Spend time beside the cascade, with a chance to swim and explore nearby paths where conditions allow.

The falls are prized for the cool blue water that can appear especially vivid against the surrounding greenery. Water colour and swimming conditions vary, but the visit offers a refreshing encounter with Cebu’s inland landscape beyond its beaches.

Walk through Moalboal with your Trip Manager and get acquainted with this laid-back town on Cebu’s west coast. Find your bearings near its waterfront and discover the local atmosphere that makes it a favourite base for exploring the sea.

Moalboal’s appeal lies in how close marine life is to shore: reefs and the celebrated sardine aggregation have made this stretch of coast well known to snorkellers and divers. The walk provides a grounded introduction to the town itself.

Snorkel in Moalboal’s clear coastal waters for a chance to see dense schools of sardines moving together beneath the surface. Keep watch for sea turtles, and explore more of the shoreline around Panagsama Beach and Pescador Island.

Moalboal is distinctive for the sardines that gather close to shore, creating shifting, silver patterns visible to snorkellers. Wildlife sightings depend on conditions, but the area’s reefs and marine life make this a richly varied time in the water.

Taste lechon at an included lunch and discover one of the Philippines’ best-known celebratory dishes. This roast pork is prized for its crisp skin and savoury meat, offering a distinctive taste of local food culture.

Lechon is closely associated with gatherings and special occasions across the country. Cebu’s version has a reputation of its own, with seasonings worked into the roast. The lunch brings that culinary tradition to the table as part of the journey through the islands.

Glide along a Bohol river after dark on a boat ride to see fireflies gathering in the mangroves. Look out for the illuminated tree known as the Mother Tree, where tiny points of light flicker against the night sky.

This quiet river experience reveals a different side of Bohol from its beaches and countryside viewpoints. Firefly activity is a natural phenomenon and varies with conditions; the still water and dark riverside setting are part of the experience.

Explore Bohol’s countryside by tuk-tuk, travelling past mahogany trees, hanging bridges and rural landscapes. Visit the Chocolate Hills to view their distinctive rounded formations, and stop at a tarsier sanctuary to observe these tiny primates.

The hills take their name from the brown colour their grass can develop in the dry season. At the sanctuary, learn about efforts to care for tarsiers, sensitive nocturnal animals whose large eyes and small size make them an enduring symbol of Bohol.

Tour The FRMCY’s farm in Bohol to learn about its crops and organic, pesticide-free growing practices. Sit down to an eight-course farm-to-table lunch featuring ingredients grown on-site or sourced from nearby villages, paired with juices and teas.

Hear how the farm began during the pandemic and how its growers bring fresh produce from field to plate. The visit gives each course a deeper connection to the land, the people cultivating it and contemporary Filipino cooking.

Head out by boat from Panglao for a half-day snorkelling trip in Bohol’s marine waters. Swim above coral and watch for tropical fish, with a chance of spotting a sea turtle moving through the water.

The captain selects local snorkelling spots according to conditions and coastguard guidance, so the route can change. That flexibility keeps the focus on suitable waters and offers a close-up view of the marine habitats around Panglao.

Explore the waters around Boracay on a full-day island-hopping trip with visits to Puka Beach, Magic Island and Crystal Cove Island. Take in varied coastal scenery, spend time by the water and enjoy opportunities to snorkel.

Beyond Boracay’s busier stretches of sand, these stops reveal coves, rocky shorelines and clear shallows. The mix of boat travel, swimming and time on shore makes this a broad introduction to the island’s surrounding seascape.

Explore Panglao’s underwater world on a scuba dive if you would like a closer look beneath the surface. The optional activity is available for certified divers and those interested in trying scuba for the first time, subject to the appropriate arrangements.

Panglao is known for its marine life and coral habitats, making a dive a way to experience the sea beyond snorkelling depth. This experience is at additional cost and bookable on tour; dive options depend on availability, conditions and your experience level.
