Package overview
This ten-day circuit takes clients from Manila across three of the Philippines' best-known regions without repeating a single overnight stop. Three nights in Manila cover the capital's colonial-era sights and a day trip to Pagsanjan Falls, before a short domestic flight south to three nights on Boracay. The final stretch flies on to Cebu, used as a base for the Twin City heritage tour and a countryside day trip to Bohol.
Both inter-island legs — Manila to Boracay and Boracay to Cebu — are domestic flights not included in the package price, so agents should quote air separately when building the final rate. The pace suits travelers who want beach time and city culture in one trip rather than a single-destination stay, and it works equally well as a private or small-group departure for couples, families or first-time visitors to the country.
Trip highlights
- Manila city tour with a visit to Destileria Limtuaco, the Philippines' oldest distillery, including a wine tasting

- Cebu Twin City heritage tour covering the city's Spanish colonial landmarks

- Three-region routing across Luzon, Boracay and the Visayas in a single ten-day circuit
Day-by-day itinerary
Day 1: Arrival in Manila
Arrival in Manila, the Philippines' capital on the island of Luzon. Landing at Ninoy Aquino International Airport, travelers step into a city that layers Spanish colonial heritage, American-era buildings and a modern skyline along Manila Bay. The rest of the day is free, giving clients time to settle in before the sightseeing and island days ahead.
Day 2: Manila city tour and Destileria Limtuaco Museum
A city tour of Manila is paired with a visit to Destileria Limtuaco, showcasing the history of the country's oldest distillery, which dates back to the Spanish colonial period, and including a wine tasting. It's a practical half-day introduction to Manila before clients head further afield on the days that follow.
Day 3: Pagsanjan Falls day tour
A full day trip to Pagsanjan Falls in Laguna province, one of the Philippines' best-known natural attractions. The approach is part of the experience: visitors travel upriver by traditional banca boat through a series of rapids before reaching the falls themselves. It's a change of pace from city sightseeing and a good example of the countryside excursions available around Manila.
Day 4: Manila to Boracay (domestic flight not included)
After breakfast, check out and transfer to the airport for the flight to Boracay; the domestic flight itself is not included in the package. On arrival, a representative meets clients and transfers them to their hotel, with the rest of the day free to start exploring the island. Overnight in Boracay.
Day 5: Boracay island-hopping tour with lunch
An island-hopping tour around Boracay with lunch included, visiting several of the smaller islands and beaches within reach of the main resort strip. It's the standard way to see the coastline beyond White Beach and typically includes stops for swimming and snorkelling.
Day 6: Boracay at leisure
A free day on Boracay to relax on White Beach or arrange optional activities such as watersports, diving or a sunset sail. Boracay's compact size makes it easy to explore independently, whether that means beach time, a walk along the island's main stations, or sampling its restaurants and bars.
Day 7: Boracay to Cebu (domestic flight not included)
Transfer to the airport for the domestic flight from Boracay to Cebu, which is not included in the package price. On arrival in Cebu, clients transfer to their hotel ahead of the following day's city tour.
Day 8: Cebu Twin City tour
A guided tour of Cebu's historic core, tracing the city's role as the site of the first Spanish settlement in the Philippines. The itinerary takes in the city's heritage landmarks and gives clients a sense of Cebu's centuries-old trading history before the following day's countryside excursion to Bohol.
Day 9: Bohol countryside day tour
A day trip to Bohol, reached from Cebu, for a countryside tour that typically covers the province's best-known sights, including the Chocolate Hills and a stop to see the Philippine tarsier. It's a full day out and a natural complement to the city and island time earlier in the itinerary.
Day 10: Departure
Free time until transfer to the airport for the flight home, closing out a ten-day itinerary that has covered Manila, Boracay, Cebu and Bohol.
