Package overview
This ten-day itinerary pairs the Philippines' two most photographed beach destinations in one trip. Three nights in Manila open the tour with city sightseeing and a day trip to Pagsanjan Falls, before a domestic flight south to three nights on Boracay's White Beach. The final three nights move to El Nido in northern Palawan, reached by a second domestic flight, for two full days of lagoon and island-hopping tours.
Both the Manila–Boracay and Boracay–El Nido flights are domestic sectors not included in the package price and should be quoted separately. Unlike itineraries that add a city stop such as Cebu, this routing keeps the focus squarely on beaches and island-hopping, making it a strong fit for honeymooners, photographers or clients who want two distinct island landscapes rather than an urban add-on.
Trip highlights
- Manila city tour with a visit to Destileria Limtuaco distillery and wine tasting
- Day trip to Pagsanjan Falls by traditional banca boat
- Three nights on Boracay with an included island-hopping tour and lunch
- Two full-day El Nido tours, each with lunch included, covering the area's lagoons and islands
- Two contrasting island destinations — Boracay's beach strip and El Nido's limestone karst scenery — in one circuit
Day-by-day itinerary
Day 1: Arrival in Manila
Arrival in Manila to start the tour. The capital sits on Luzon island and mixes Spanish colonial quarters, American-era buildings and a modern bayside skyline. With no activities scheduled on arrival day, clients have time to rest before the sightseeing and island legs that follow.
Day 2: Manila city tour and Destileria Limtuaco Museum
Manila city touring is combined with a stop at Destileria Limtuaco, which traces the history of the country's oldest distillery back to the Spanish colonial period, including a wine tasting. It's a compact way to cover the capital's heritage before flying south.
Day 3: Pagsanjan Falls day tour
A day trip to Pagsanjan Falls in Laguna, reached by a banca boat ride upriver through a set of rapids before arriving at the falls. It's one of the more active excursions available from Manila and a contrast to the beach days ahead.
Day 4: Manila to Boracay (domestic flight not included)
After breakfast, checkout and transfer to the airport for the flight to Boracay, which is not included in the package. A representative meets arriving clients and transfers them to their hotel, with the rest of the day free to explore. Overnight in Boracay.
Day 5: Boracay island-hopping tour with lunch
An island-hopping tour around Boracay with lunch included, taking in nearby islands and beaches beyond the main White Beach strip, with time for swimming and snorkelling along the way.
Day 6: Boracay at leisure
A free day in Boracay to spend on White Beach or book optional activities such as diving, parasailing or a sunset sail. The island's small size makes it easy to get around on foot or by tricycle between its main stations.
Day 7: Boracay to El Nido (domestic flight not included)
Transfer to the airport for the domestic flight from Boracay to El Nido in northern Palawan; this flight is not included in the package price. On arrival, clients transfer to their El Nido hotel ahead of two days of island tours.
Day 8: El Nido tour with lunch
A full-day El Nido island-hopping tour with lunch included, covering the area's limestone karst formations, lagoons and beaches — the seascape El Nido is best known for.
Day 9: El Nido tour with lunch
A second full-day El Nido tour with lunch, covering a different set of islands, lagoons or beaches from the previous day so clients see more of the bay's range of scenery.
Day 10: Departure
Free time until transfer for the return flight home, closing out an itinerary built around two of the Philippines' signature island destinations.
