Itinerary
2 nights – Manila
4 nights – Cebu
3 nights – Puerto Princesa
4 nights – El Nido
4 nights – Busuanga / Coron
✈️ UK to Manila (2 nights): You’ll begin your adventure with a two-night stay in Manila, the vibrant capital of the Philippines. Immerse yourself in the city’s rich history and modern charm as you explore its bustling streets and awe-inspiring architecture. Make sure you visit Intramuros, the historic walled city, with its charming cobblestone streets and Spanish colonial buildings. Also, discover Rizal Park, a sprawling green oasis in the heart of Manila, dedicated to the national hero José Rizal. After all that sight-seeing, make sure you indulge in the delectable local cuisine, from mouth-watering street food to gourmet delights in trendy restaurants.
✈️ Manila to Cebu (4 nights): From Manila, you’ll take a short flight to Cebu, a paradise known for its pristine beaches and vibrant underwater world. Immerse yourself in the crystal-clear waters as you snorkel or dive among the colourful coral reefs and unwind on the powdery white sands of Mactan Island or visit the majestic Kawasan Falls, where you’ll want to take endless photos of the cascading turquoise waters.
✈️ Cebu to Puerto Princesa (3 nights): You’ll continue your adventure with a flight to Puerto Princesa, a coastal gem that promises a tropical paradise. Spend three nights here and discover the awe-inspiring Underground River, a UNESCO World Heritage Site located just outside of the city. Here you can take a boat cruise through this subterranean wonder, marvelling at the stunning rock formations and unique wildlife. Nearer to the city, explore the idyllic Honda Bay and its pristine islands, where you can snorkel in vibrant coral gardens or simply bask in the sun on secluded beaches.
Puerto Princesa to El Nido (4 nights): Your transfer will pick you up from your hotel in Puerto Princesa and take you on a scenic drive to El Nido, a tropical paradise nestled amidst towering limestone cliffs on the northern tip of Palawan island. Here you will have 4 nights to fully immerse yourself in the extraordinary beauty of its pristine islands and lagoons. Hop on a boat tour to witness the jaw-dropping Big Lagoon, Small Lagoon, and Secret Lagoon, where turquoise waters and lush greenery create a mesmerising backdrop. Or spend your days on some of the beautiful beaches such as Nacpan, Calitang or Las Cabanas. For something a little more energetic, embark on a challenging hike to Taraw Cliff for incredible views of El Nido and its surroundings. This isn’t an easy climb, but the rewarding views at the top are well worth it. El Nido town itself is also wonderful to explore, where you can indulge in fresh seafood at beachfront restaurants and generally chill out and soak up the laid-back island vibes.
✈️ El Nido to Busuanga / Coron (4 nights): For your final destination on this epic holiday around the Philippines, you’ll head to Busuanga, known as the gateway to the stunning Calamian Islands. The main town on the island is Coron, which serves as the gateway to Busuanga’s attractions. With four nights here, there is plenty of time to discover the untouched beauty of this area. Dive into the depths of the Japanese WW2 shipwrecks that attract divers from all over the world, explore the otherworldly beauty of Kayangan Lake, or hike to the summit of Mount Tapyas for breath-taking panoramic views. For a bit of downtime, relax in the natural thermal waters of Maquinit Hot Springs which offer a soothing and rejuvenating experience, especially after a few days of exploring.
✈️ Busuanga to Manila to UK: With your adventure coming to an end, we’ll fly you back to Manila where you’ll catch your flight home to the UK.

I had never heard of eshores till I decided to plan a multi-stop holiday in Turkey some weeks ago. The decision to use eshores was based on a quick internet search for any help I could get with this. So, i wasnt really expecting much. As the planning was at relatively short notice...and we had never travelled to Turkey, I was pleasantly surprised at the support I had from Rachel at eshores who listened to what I wanted and was patient to go back and forth with me till I had the exact holiday I wanted (Istanbul, Ankara and Antalya). I always had a response with every query(and I had quite a few!!). The travel itself worked like a dream...both international and domestic flights were straightforward, but even more surprising was how reliable the multiple taxis to and fro airports were, even when picking up at 0330!! Overall, the experience has been very positive and I would be very happy to use the service again

Nick arranged a 2 week trip to Argentina & Brazil for us in March. We were happy with the itinerary he put together and his choice of hotels. We had a good level of contact from taxi companies for collections at airports & hotels. On our return he checked everything had gone smoothly which was a nice touch. I mentioned that I was looking for a beach holiday in a couple of months and he put together some hotels at a good price so I’ve booked again with him. I would definitely use Nick, EShores, again and recommend them to friends.
