Things to know before your Philippines trip
What does a trip to the Philippines look like?−
A typical Philippines itinerary blends big-name sights with places you’ve probably never heard of. You might start in Manila for street food and history, then fly to Palawan for limestone cliffs and island-hopping in El Nido. Cebu offers a blend of city life and waterfall hikes, while Siargao is the go-to destination for surfing and island vibes.
Looking for something quieter? Dive Apo Island’s coral gardens, cycle through Camiguin’s volcanoes, or visit Batanes, closer to Taiwan than Manila and worlds apart in pace.
