Hong Kong & Philippines Island Hopping

Once you have arrived at Hong Kong International Airport, a private car takes you to your accommodation in the city, a journey of around 90 minutes. The next two nights are spent in Hong Kong, with the rest of today free to settle in after your flight.

Today is yours to explore Hong Kong independently. For the city's best views, head up to Victoria Peak via the historic Peak Tram, or explore the colonial-era buildings of Central, set among the city's uniquely modern, mirrored towers.

A private transfer collects you from your accommodation for the 37-minute journey to Hong Kong International Airport, ahead of your 9:25 am flight to Manila with Cebu Pacific, landing at 11:55 am. A representative meets you on arrival and takes you by private, air-conditioned vehicle to your accommodation in Manila City Center, with a bottle of water provided for the journey. You spend the night in Manila.

Please note: This flight includes a 20kg checked baggage allowance per person, plus one item of hand luggage.

At 8:40 am, a private transfer collects you from your accommodation and takes you to Ninoy Aquino International Airport for your 11:40 am flight to Puerto Princesa with Philippine Airlines, landing at 1 pm. A representative welcomes you on arrival and arranges your private transfer to your accommodation in Puerto Princesa, where you spend the night.

Please note: This flight includes a 20kg checked baggage allowance per person, plus one item of hand luggage.

You are collected from your accommodation at 6:30 am for the drive by air-conditioned van to Sabang Wharf, passing through scenic countryside and along the coast - it's worth being ready in the lobby a little early.

At Sabang Wharf, you transfer onto a motorised outrigger boat for a short ride past limestone cliffs and rainforest to reach the Puerto Princesa Subterranean River National Park, a UNESCO World Heritage Site and one of the New 7 Wonders of Nature. Here, a guide leads a paddle boat tour through the Underground River, one of the world's longest navigable underground rivers, passing dramatic cave formations and ancient stalactites and stalagmites along the way.

Back at Sabang, a buffet lunch is included at a local restaurant before you head back towards the city by road. Depending on time and interest, you can also opt to extend the afternoon with spelunking and zip-lining at Ugong Rock, a separate zip line experience at Sabang X, or a paddle through the mangroves. You arrive back at your accommodation in Sabang this evening, where you spend the next two nights.

Please note: Return transfers for this tour are synchronised for the whole group, so if you don't join an optional side activity you'll wait for the rest of the group before heading back.

Please note: A transfer surcharge applies if your hotel is outside the designated pickup zone near Puerto Princesa Airport; you can arrange your own transfer to the main pickup point to avoid this.

This is a free day to enjoy Sabang independently. Relax on the beach beneath the palm trees and mountains, or head out to explore the surrounding jungle on foot.

After breakfast, you make the overland journey from Sabang to El Nido, a drive of around 5 hours through Palawan's countryside. A representative welcomes you on arrival and transfers you to your accommodation, where you spend the next three nights.

This morning, make your way to the designated meeting point in El Nido for an 8:30 am start, before boarding a boat at 9 am for a full day of small-group island-hopping around the Bacuit archipelago with a local guide.

The first stop is Snake Island, named for the winding, snake-like sand bridge that appears at low tide and lets you walk out into the middle of the sea. From here, you continue to Cathedral Cave, a dramatic sea cave with towering rock formations and shafts of natural light illuminating turquoise water inside, though swimming here is not advisable.

Cudugnon Cave comes next, a limestone sea cave once used as a burial site by the ancient Cuyonon people and of real archaeological significance, before a stop at Entalula, known for its towering limestone cliffs and white sand. The final stop is Popolkan Island, a small rocky outcrop with clear water that makes for excellent snorkelling, in a quieter corner of El Nido with fewer boats and visitors.

A picnic lunch is included during the day, along with the use of kayaks, snorkelling gear and beach towels. The tour returns to El Nido at around 4 pm.

El Nido is yours to enjoy freely today, with no activities planned. Relax on the beach, or spend some time exploring El Nido town.

After breakfast, you're collected from your accommodation for the transfer to El Nido Airport ahead of your 12:55 pm flight to Bohol, landing at 2:35 pm. A private transfer then takes you to your accommodation in Panglao, where you spend the next three nights.

Please note: This flight includes a 20kg checked baggage allowance per person, plus one item of hand luggage.

At 8 am, you head out on a four-hour private tour with a driver-guide to the Chocolate Hills, where a viewpoint offers panoramic views over the thousands of unusual, dome-shaped limestone mounds that give the area its name.

From here, you swap to an all-terrain vehicle for a ride along the mud trails around the hills, an exhilarating way to explore the landscape up close. The tour continues with a visit to the Tarsier Conservation area, home to the tiny, wide-eyed Philippine tarsier, one of the world's smallest primates, where you can learn about the conservation work being done to protect them.

Please note: Wear comfortable clothing and closed-toe shoes for the ATV ride, and bring sunscreen and water.

Today is free to spend independently in Panglao. Relax on the beach, or take the opportunity to explore Panglao's renowned diving spots beneath the surface.

After breakfast, a private transfer takes you from your accommodation to Bohol-Panglao International Airport for your 11:40 am flight to Manila, landing at 1:10 pm, where your tour comes to an end.

Please note: This flight includes a 20kg checked baggage allowance per person, plus one item of hand luggage.
