Discover the Philippines through a journey that blends adventure, connection, and the easy rhythm of island life. Begin in Cebu, where jungle waterfalls meet the ocean’s edge.

Next, head to Bohol and Panglao — islands rich in beauty and culture. Stand before the surreal Chocolate Hills, meet the tiny tarsiers, and cruise down the Loboc River with live music and a traditional Filipino feast. Explore hidden caves, cliffs, and coves, or take the leap from Panglao’s coastal cliffs before winding down with sunset dinners and lively nights by the beach.
Your journey continues north to Coron, home to some of the most breathtaking seascapes in the world. Kayak through Twin Lagoon, swim in Kayangan Lake’s crystal waters, and snorkel vibrant coral gardens and WWII shipwrecks teeming with life.
