Philippines: Manila, Bohol & Boracay — 7 Days

Chocolate Hills, river cruising, and island beaches across three regions

This seven-day itinerary moves through three of the Philippines' most visited island destinations: Bohol, Cebu, and Boracay. The route begins in Tagbilaran, where the inland Chocolate Hills and heritage sites anchor the first two days, followed by an early-morning boat excursion for dolphin watching. A fast ferry crossing delivers travellers to Cebu for a city-based day centered on religious architecture and colonial history. The final leg flies to Boracay, where two full days allow for independent time on the island before the return to Manila. Transfers, guides (where group size permits), and accommodation are coordinated throughout; domestic air tickets are separate.
