Our most recommended things to do in Philippines

  1. Alona Beach: Private Transfers to or from Bohol or Panglao

  Book your private transfer in advance and maximize your time at Alona Beach. The beach is one of the most popular spots in Bohol, thanks to its glistenining white sand, warm water, and rocky cliffs. Alona Beach is situated near a reef, where you can see coral and marine life without any equipment. Arrange for your private transfer to pick you up directly from your accommodation, or choose another convenient place in Bohol or the Panglao area. Sit back, relax, and enjoy the scenery as your professional driver takes you to Alona Beach.

  2. Boracay: Sunset Cruise with Water Activities

  Meet at the boat station by Astoria Boracay hotel on White Beach to board your traditional banca boat. Enjoy the picturesque scenery on a 2-hour cruise around the area. Accompanied by friendly crew members, you can sit back and relax as the sun sets behind the horizon. Cruise along White Beach to take in the beautiful coastline while you enjoy the spectacular arrays of color of the Boracay sunset. Stop off for a quick swim, try stand up paddleboarding, and snorkel in the clear water. Or simply chill on the boat, before heading back to Boracay to arrive at approximately 6:15 PM.

  It is what it is and most of these things are what you make out of them. Do it for the whole vacation-traveling-island hopping-ish experience if you haven't done this kind of thing before. Even though the weather was a bit cloudy and the waters were a bit rough, my friends and I had a great time snorkeling, looking at the fishies, hanging out with other travelers. You have the option of paying 100 pesos for a can of beer, a premium but nice convenience to have. The crew were friendly and professional.

  5. From Manila: Full Day Trip to Tagaytay Ridge

  About an hour and a half drive south of Metro Manila lies the picturesque City of Tagaytay. Located on a ridge 2,200 feet above sea level, it offers a panoramic view of Taal Lake and Volcano - a lake within a volcano. This awe-inspiring vista is best savored atop the Palace in the Sky - resthouse of former President Ferdinand Marcos. On the way to Tagaytay, you will stop by the San Jose Church in Las Pinas to see the world famous Bamboo Organ built by Spanish priest Father Diego Cera in the 19th century. Made from about 800 bamboo pipes, the organ is said to produce a sound unlike any other. You will also have a chance to visit a local jeepney assembly plant for an inside look on how this popular mode of transportation unique to the Philippines is built. Time permitting, you may also have a chance to stop by a pineapple or coffee plantation to sample the local produce or buy souvenirs ...

  We took the Tagaytay Ridge tour for a chance to get and see some beyond Metro Manila . It was a good day with an interesting variety of activities. We enjoyed seeing the ex-Marcos Palace and the views of the volcano in the lake were lovely. Then we stopped for a delicious lunch at Max's Restaurant. Finally, the visit to the church with the bamboo organ was also very interesting. We were lucky too, as there was a wedding that afternoon so were got to hear the organ played. Our guide was very knowledgeable, friendly and polite. All-in-all it was a great day out.

  6. Caticlan: Private Airport Transfer From/To Boracay

With this service, avoid the hassle of negotiating taxis fares or navigating the public transportation system with heavy bags. Meet your driver who will be holding a sign with your name on it, either at the airport or in your hotel lobby. If your accommodation is not accessible by a vehicle, you may be asked to wait on the main road.  If arriving at the airport, take the fast-track lane to process terminal fees, taxes, and ticket purchase for the public ferry ride from Caticlan Airport to the island of Boracay. Then, take a 30-minute electric tricycle ride between the ferry terminal and your accommodation in Boracay. (Itinerary is reversed for transfers to the airport). Choose to upgrade to an air-conditioned ferry or van ride instead of the tricycle as an add-on upon booking.
