Uncover the wonders of Cebu, El Nido and Coron

Embark on an epic 10-day private adventure through three of the Philippines’ most iconic destinations: Cebu, El Nido and Coron. This trip features  extraordinary scenery and unforgettable wildlife encounters — from whale sharks and sea turtles to coral gardens and hidden lagoons.


Why Choose this tour?

This is not your average island holiday. This tour is a carefully crafted mix of raw adventure, jaw-dropping scenery, and extraordinary wildlife encounters that together create the kind of trip you will talk about for years. From canyoneering through Cebu’s dramatic gorges and swimming alongside whale sharks in open ocean, to drifting through El Nido’s iconic limestone lagoons and sleeping under the stars on a remote Palawan island.


Places You’ll Visit

Cebuis one of the Philippines’ most diverse islands, and this tour captures its very best.Moalboal is renowned across Southeast Asia for its exceptional snorkeling and diving. The adventure continues inland to the spectacular canyon of Kawasan Falls, where gorges, natural pools, and cascading waterfalls await. Then continue to Oslobfor a once-in-a-lifetime encounter with whale sharks that never fails to leave travellers speechless.

 

From Cebu, the journey continues to El Nido, widely regarded as one of the most beautiful destinations in the world. A full-day island hopping tour through Bacuit Bay reveals why — towering limestone karst cliffs rise dramatically from turquoise lagoons, hidden sea caves open into secret emerald pools, and pristine beaches.

The tour’s most extraordinary chapter is the 3-day boat expedition from El Nido to Coron — an epic sailing adventure through some of the most remote and untouched waters in the Philippines. Island by island, the bangka winds through the pristine archipelago of Linapacan, a hidden paradise of deserted beaches, glassy turquoise shallows, and warm local communities rarely touched by mass tourism. Overnight stays at beach campsites under a canopy of stars make this an adventure as much about the journey as the destination. Arriving in Coron, the expedition ends with a full-day tour of world-famous WWII shipwrecks and the breathtaking Lusong Coral Garden.
