Day 1

Manila

The Philippines is a 7,000-island tropical archipelago. The local language in this Southeast Asian region is Tagalog, but English is widely spoken, and the Filipino people (over 90 million) are well-known for their cheerful disposition. Manila’s international and domestic air travel hub is like any other capital city: lively, busy, and full of life! Starting your charter in Manila, it is worthwhile to spend a day exploring the city’s colorful 400-year-old Chinatown and the 16th-century intramuros, which were founded by the Spanish. For an entertaining night out on the town, the Makati district has many upscale bars, restaurants, and music clubs.

Day 2

Hamilo Coast

The allure of Hamilo Coast, particularly for first-time visitors, is its vast natural wonder, which includes, among other things, 13 majestic coves located along its coastline. Santelmo is also admired for its natural beauty. Santelmo has the best white sand beachfront and is only five minutes by speedboat from Pico de Loro Cove on the Hamilo Coast. Olive Ridley and green sea turtles, also known as pawikan, visit the area on occasion to lay their eggs on the beach. Santelmo is an ideal location for snorkelling and diving due to the presence of giant clams, known as taklobos, and a diverse array of sea creatures. Santelmo, along with Pico de Loro Cove, has been designated as a marine protected area by the local government due to its abundant marine life.

Day 3

Apo Reef

Apo Reef is a UNESCO World Heritage site comprised of three islands. It is ranked as one of the top four scuba diving destinations in the world, and it has the world’s second largest coral system. There is lots to discover underwater, and ideal diving conditions are ensured. Cuttlefish, barracuda, turtles, sea snakes, and manta rays are among the abundant marine life, with visibility of roughly 100 feet. Spend the day touring different portions of the massive (34-square-kilometer) reef and admiring the coral gardens. Those who do not want to snorkel or scuba dive should go to Apo Island, where they can have a tour of the mangrove ecosystem and explore the lighthouse.

Day 4

Dumunpalit Island

Dumunpalit is a lovely island with a long white-sand beach, lush greenery, and massive limestone rock formations. The coral reefs that surround the island are excellent for snorkeling, with beautiful red, blue, and pink colors. Anchor in Puerta del Sol and go white-sand island hopping; there are other islands nearby. While you’re there, why not try some of the fresh seafood eateries dotting the region for some of the greatest fish the Philippines has to offer?

Day 5

The Coron Island

The Coron Island Protected Place encompasses the majority of Coron Bay, which is a traditional fishing area for the indigenous Tagbanwa tribe. A nominal entrance fee is charged, which goes toward the preservation and care of the islands and those who look after them. You might discover that you’re the only ones there! It is welcoming, relaxed, and never crowded. Swim and snorkel, hike about the little island, and then settle in for a wood-fired cook-out on the beach in the evening. There are several Japanese WWII wrecks nearby, as well as good deep sea fishing for blue marlin, tuna, and lobster, plus the chance to see whale sharks, dolphins, dugongs, and fruit bats if you’re lucky.

Day 7

Malcapuya Island

Malcapuya Island is one of the most beautiful islands surrounding Coron and offers one of the greatest island hopping experiences from Coron. This small, thinly populated resort provides travelers with an unrivaled tropical experience! Malcapuya Island is adjacent to Banana Island and Bulog Dos. The sea on Malcapuya Island is crystal pure, and the beach is milk white powder-like. The coral reef is relatively far from the coast and has no rocks beneath it, making it a great spot for swimming or relaxing in the afternoon sun. The Chef can make picnic lunches to be brought ashore or set up a beach BBQ.

Day 8

Linapacan Island is one of the Palawan island groupings that have yet to be found by tourists. Linapacan, located practically between Coron and El Nido and isolated from metropolitan life, has never seen considerable development, unlike the two tourist sites mentioned. Linapacan is located south of the Calamian Group of Islands and, along with the famed Maldives Island, was named one of the “35 Clearest Waters in the World to Swim in Before You Die” by Cartagena Info in 2013. Linapacan is calm and untouched because it is home to fewer than 20,000 people. Visitors can also explore Caseledan, an 18th-century Spanish fort in Linapacan.

Day 9

El Nido

El Nido, located in a bay surrounded by high limestone cliffs, is a perfect location for exploring Palawan. The Bacuit archipelago, a series of islands with sheer karst cliffs, is the main attraction, despite the town’s appeal. There are lagoons galore: small, large, and several hidden ones, as well as peaceful beaches and private coves with stunningly beautiful water. There are numerous scuba diving spots in the vicinity, notably Dilumacad Island’s long tunnel that leads to an underwater cavern. There’s a lot to see and do here, including an abandoned monastery ( Matinloc Shrine). Climb the rock path alongside the shrine to be rewarded with breathtaking views of the sea.

Day 12

Boracay

Despite its small size, Boracay is the Philippines’ most popular tourist destination, and it has been named “The World’s Best Beach” for many years. The consequences of tourism are obvious, yet they do not detract from the beauty of the area. White Beach is a 4km strip of sand that is studded with hotels, restaurants, bars, and dive shops. The ocean is teeming with local, romantic paraws (outrigger sailboats) waiting for their tourist guests, and colourful parasails fill the air. Boracay sunsets are spectacular, with gorgeous colours of golden, orange, and purple. After a beautiful sunset, it’s party time all night, which can be a lot of fun.

Day 13

Romblon

Aside from the high-quality marble sculptures created by the locals, visitors to Romblon will also find magnificent white sand beaches, historic buildings, and a towering mountain in this overlooked Philippine destination. Romblon, with its pristine natural beauty, is an ideal getaway place for those looking for an off-the-beaten-path vacation in the Philippines. If you’re seeking for truly Romblomanon souvenirs, go to the Romblon Shopping Center, which is a complex comprised of various souvenir boutiques. True to its moniker, the marble capital is brimming with all things marble.

Day 14

Manila

After a long day of island hopping and discovering all that Romblon has to offer, it’s time to soak up the sunset at anchor and get ready to return to Manila with an overnight cruise.
