It’s time to cross these Philippine destinations off your bucket list. All you have to do is book a flight and these tours will do the rest!

Cebu

Cebu is best known for its breathtaking beaches. But let’s be real, being a beach bum can get a little boring after a while. Canyoneering is a thrilling way to explore Cebu like never before. Challenge your fears and get ready to scream as you let yourself go and jump 20 to 50 feet into the deep pools underneath! Only then have you earned a day of lazing around and enjoy the stunning coastline.

Bohol

Just a quick ferry ride from Cebu is a world of natural wonders also known as Bohol. We recommend starting with a bike ride on a zipline through the majestic Chocolate Hills followed by lunch cruising down the river on a floating restaurant. When you go to China, you get to cuddle with pandas; in the Philippines you get to see cute little tarsiers. These 100 mm tall creatures with rat-like tails are local to Bohol.

Bataan

Attention history buffs, Bataan is your dream destination. Las Casas Filipinas de Acuzar showcases Philippine history and offers visitors a glimpse of Pinoy national pride. Be charmed by the ornate 18th century architecture of the houses, first owned by Jose Rizalino “Jerry” Acuzar. Imagine the history, controversy and gossip these walls have witnessed! (Learn all about when you book the tour. Shhh!) Stay in the traditional rooms that now serve as hotel accommodation and admire Philippine craftsmanship and ingenuity.

Ilocos

The Ilocos region of the Philippines houses many historical cities, such as Laoag and Vigan. Stroll amongst old churches and lovely lawns in Ilocos Norte, south of Laoag City. These old churches make up the UNESCO Heritage Sites of Paoay Church, each built in classic earthquake-baroque style with a towering belfry. Head south and explore the cobblestone streets of Vigan City by horse drawn carriage. The dark-wood mansions of this Spanish-colonial town are straight out of a fairy tale.

Davao

The Island Garden City of Samal, or  Samal Island, is Manila’s version of the Hamptons. (Or is the Hamptons New York’s version of Samal Island? Hmm.) Weekenders love to lounge on Davao’s white sand beaches. But since you’re traveling all the way from Hong Kong, why not get in touch with your adventurous side? Not only will you get a chance to see real live fruit bats at Monfort Bat Cave (eek!), but you can also jump into the gushing Hagimit Falls for a quick splash. End your adventure with a peaceful picnic lunch at the Paradise Resort.
