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.

We contacted eShores having visited the website to discuss a tailor made holiday to the Sporades islands. We spoke to one of the Travel Consultants, Kadie Ryan, who was friendly, efficient and knowledgeable. We received a quote shortly following our conversation and with Kadie's help were able to book our holiday with ease the next day. We are very happy with our experience booking this holiday.

Fantastic Holiday. Just returned from a great South African holiday, Cape Town 3 nights, Pilanesberg Safari 3 nights and a week in Zanzibar. Big thanks to Chris again, his knowledge helped organise and plan this vacation. This is the second long haul holiday he has booked for us. Each holiday has been faultless even though we have changed the itinerary to suit . The Safari he recommended on this trip, Ivory Tree in Pilanesberg was 5 STAR and made the holiday, another tick on the bucket list. Eshores customer service is second to none. I recommended this company to my daughter who is presently on a Canadian fly drive with them and is thoroughly enjoying it. Based on previous experience Chris has now helped us book Australia, Hong Kong & Dubai for next February, can’t wait. All their trips are good value for money, would not have any hesitation in recommending them.

Very happy with what we booked, ( we asked for a trip/experience to Egypt), and Rachel put something together and within the budget we asked for. Once we reviewed it, we tweaked it several times for what we wanted in parts and Rachel did the rest. Very personable and pleasant to deal with. I think we will be looking at other experience holidays through E Shore in the future rather than your standard package holiday.

Booked with eshores last year. Holiday was excellent and everything ran smoothly. We had one problem with one of the transfers in which we missed the plane and had to pay for the next flight but that was sorted and refunded when we returned home. Booked with them again for next year. Matt has been extremely helpful (and patient. We are a nightmare). Eshores are very competetive and I would not hesitate in recommending them and I hope to be using them for years to come.
