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.

As always, Chris was extremely helpful and knowledgeable. He gave me good advice on my travel plans and booked the holiday on my behalf. I've used eshores a number of times, and will continue to do so.

We haven’t been on our trip yet but based purely on the experience of booking the trip we are pleased with the result. It started with a bit of a hiccup as we spoke to a member of staff who never came back to us but when we reached back out again we were placed in the hands of Andy who has helped us book a 2 week trip to India including the golden triangle and then a few days on the beach. Andy was very patient with us with our changes to our tailor made holiday, even when we asked him to explore different areas only to revert back to the original plan. He also recommended moving the holiday back one week which created a saving of over £700 which meant we could upgrade the room for our beach stay in Goa. Andy was also available on weekends if we wanted to speak and regularly picked up the phone as opposed to keeping it to purely email dialogue. Hopefully the holiday will be amazing but based on the booking experience I would recommend eShores if you’re looking to book a tailor made holiday

We have booked two big holidays this year for a group of 8 and a group of 10, Rachel has coordinated our holidays with the utmost excellence, during the consultation we changed countires hotels and even flights but it did not phase Rachel one bit. Exceeds customer expectations by helping advising and supporting throughout the holiday. We are off to Thailand and Dubai in August and then followed by India and Thailand in November, I have rang emailed Rachel many times during the booking and I got very prompt responses even on her days off. Rachel is a credit to EShores and EShores is setting standards regarding customer focus.

I can’t praise Lynette at EShores enough. She has organised my trips perfectly to the point that I wouldn’t use anyone else. She listens to what I want or to the problem I have and comes up with a solution. Nothing is too much trouble. Try them out yourselves and I bet you become a repeater too!
