Package overview
This itinerary covers the same four regions as the range's eight-day circuit — Manila, Boracay, El Nido and Cebu — but adds one extra day to give Manila its own separate sightseeing day rather than combining it with arrival. Clients land, settle in, and only start the city tour and Destileria Museum visit the next morning, rather than doing both on the day they fly in.
From there the pacing matches the shorter version exactly: two nights each on Boracay for island hopping, in El Nido for the lagoon tour, and in Cebu for the Twin City heritage circuit. Three domestic flight sectors — Manila–Boracay, Boracay–El Nido, El Nido–Cebu — are required and quoted separately from the package.
