Itinerary
2 nights – Manila,
6 nights – Boracay
6 nights – Cebu
✈️ UK to Manila (2 Nights): Upon your arrival at Ninoy Aquino International Airport in Manila, we’ll transfer you to your hotel where you will be staying for two nights. Manila, the capital city of the Philippines, offers a wonderful blend of modernity and rich history. Make sure you visit the city’s most popular historical landmark, Intramuros, the walled city that showcases Spanish colonial architecture, and also explore Fort Santiago, a significant historical site located within the walled city. If you need some green space and tranquillity, take a leisurely stroll in Rizal Park, with its landscaped lawns, named after the country’s national hero, José Rizal. If you have time, head to San Agustin Church, a UNESCO World Heritage site, known for its intricate Baroque architecture. Explore the vibrant streets of Binondo, Manila’s Chinatown, and immerse yourself in the lively atmosphere and delectable cuisine.
✈️ Manila to Boracay (6 nights): After 2 nights in the capital, you’ll hop on a short flight out of Manila and head to the beautiful island paradise of Boracay, located in the heart of the Philippines. As you set foot on this tropical haven, you’ll realise that this is where the relaxation really starts. Spend your days sunbathing on the beach, such as the stunning White Beach, swim in the crystal-clear waters and explore the underwater life by snorkelling or scuba diving around the coral reefs that surround the island. Take a boat tour to nearby islands, including Puka Beach (known for its beautiful shells) Crystal Cove Island (offering scenic caves and crystal-clear waters for swimming) and Crocodile Island which, fear not, despite its name, derives its moniker solely from its shape, resembling a crocodile when observed from certain angles and not because it is inhabited by snappy creatures! In the evenings, explore the vibrant beach scene nightlife of Boracay, with beachfront bars, restaurants and live music.
✈️ Boracay to Cebu (6 nights): The adventure continues, and you’ll take a short flight to the island of Cebu for the next 6 nights, which is an island located to the west of Boracay. Whilst it will be tempting to spend your days basking in the sun or exploring the coral reefs on one of the pristine beaches such as Malapascua and Bantayan Island, Cebu has an abundance of attractions and activities that would be a shame to miss. Cebu City, the provincial capital, has a rich history and colonial heritage with fascinating sites such as Magellan’s Cross, Basilica Minore del Santo Niño, and Fort San Pedro. Beyond the city, the island is home to picturesque waterfalls including Kawasan Falls and Tumalog Falls. It is also a gateway to nearby destinations including Bohol, with its iconic Chocolate Hills which is a series of more than a thousand cone-shaped hills that turn chocolate brown during the dry season, creating a breath-taking sight. Another highlight of Bohol is the chance to see the adorable Philippine tarsier, one of the world’s smallest primates. The Tarsier Conservation Area provides a sanctuary for these endangered creatures, allowing visitors to observe them in their natural habitat.
✈️ Cebu to Manila to UK: After 2 weeks exploring the Philippines, it’s time to head home and you’ll catch a flight from Cebu via Manila then onto 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.
