The Stunning Philippines

Stunning could be an understatement when it comes to the beauty of many of the Philippine islands. There are over 7,000 islands that make up the Philippines, don’t worry, we are not going to try and see them all. We have hand-picked some of the best to see and experience. We use 4-Star and 5-Star Luxury Beach Resorts as our base. From there we can visit other islands or go inland for our tours. The time of year we have scheduled is during the dry season with temperatures averaging around 83 degrees and the water is usually a comfortable 80 to 82 degrees.

Here are a few of the many highlights:

  • Beautiful beaches, crystal clear water, colorful sea life!
  • Puerto-Princesa Subterranean River National Park encompasses one of the world’s most impressive cave systems, featuring spectacular limestone karst landscapes, pristine natural beauty, and intact old-growth forests, and distinctive wildlife.
  • Swimming with whale sharks. They are gentle giants that can reach upwards of 40 feet long. Although whale sharks are the third biggest creature in the ocean (after blue whales and fin whales) they are not aggressive and don’t threaten humans. Their interactions with humans are peaceful and curious.
  • The rock formations in the islands near El Nido. We spend three days in the area – boating, swimming and snorkeling, along with kayaking for those that want to kayak.
  • Bohol chocolate mounds, a stunning natural wonder.
  • Boating on fun outrigger boats between the islands.
  • 4 and 5-Star Luxury Beach Resorts with wonderful swimming pools and tropical landscaping.
  • Private Island resort on the small Miniloc Island near El Nido.
  • Yes, we have to include our guest educator Michael Wilcox as one of the many highlights.
  • Singapore. Everyone who has ever been there has loved it as one of the great cities in the world.
  • Fly the #2 Airline in the world – Singapore Air.
