Cebu to Cebu – 11 Days
This 11-day journey offers a richly varied introduction to the central and western Philippines, combining wildlife, island scenery and soft adventure across Cebu, Bohol and Palawan. Beginning in Cebu, the tour includes birdwatching on Olango Island, an important sanctuary for migratory species, before continuing to Bohol, where the focus shifts to countryside landscapes, the Chocolate Hills and the island’s best-known wildlife resident, the tarsier. A stand-up paddle experience on the Abatan River adds a gentler, nature-led encounter with Bohol’s rural scenery.
The journey then continues to Palawan, where the emphasis turns to some of the Philippines’ most beautiful coastal and marine settings. In El Nido and Port Barton, island-hopping excursions reveal limestone cliffs, lagoons, reefs and quiet beaches, while the final stop in Sabang introduces a different side of Palawan through its famous Underground River and mangrove ecosystems. Altogether, this is a well-paced island adventure blending wildlife, scenery and active exploration.
OLANGO ISLAND BIRDWATCHING: Begin in Cebu with Olango Island Wildlife Sanctuary, one of the Philippines’ key wetland habitats for migratory birds. Reached by local banca and explored by tricycle, its mudflats, mangroves and coastal shallows offer a quieter, more nature-focused side of the Visayas. For birdwatchers and wildlife-minded travellers, Olango adds genuine ecological interest early in the journey, revealing the country’s biodiversity beyond beaches and reefs while setting a thoughtful pace for the island experiences to follow.
BOHOL TARSIERS, CHOCOLATE HILLS AND LOBOC RIVER: Bohol combines some of the central Philippines’ best-known natural and cultural sights in one rewarding section. Visit a protected forest area to see the tiny Philippine tarsier, travel through the island’s rural interior, and view the Chocolate Hills, one of the country’s most distinctive landscapes. With river scenery, historic churches and a gentler countryside rhythm, Bohol provides a well-rounded contrast to the coastal and marine experiences that follow, adding wildlife, geology and local character to the tour.
EL NIDO AND PORT BARTON ISLAND HOPPING: Palawan’s coastline is among the Philippines’ most celebrated, and this journey explores two contrasting sides of it. In El Nido, limestone cliffs, hidden lagoons and bright turquoise waters create one of the country’s classic island landscapes. Port Barton offers a softer, less developed atmosphere, with quieter beaches, reefs and an easier pace. Together, they balance headline scenery with lower-key charm, showing why Palawan remains one of the Philippines’ finest island provinces for coastal exploration, snorkelling and relaxed discovery.
PUERTO PRINCESA UNDERGROUND RIVER AND PALAWAN ECOSYSTEMS: The final section turns from beaches and reefs to one of Palawan’s great natural landmarks: the Puerto Princesa Underground River. Travelling by paddleboat into its vast limestone chambers reveals cathedral-like spaces, stalactites and immense cave formations beneath forested hills. A mangrove visit adds another ecological layer, showing the close relationship between marine, riverine and terrestrial habitats. It is a fitting finale to a journey shaped by wildlife, coastal beauty and the Philippines’ remarkable natural diversity.
The difference with the Asian Geographical is, that each of our holidays is designed with extreme precision of a mountaineering expedition.
Discover Cebu, Bohol and Palawan on this 11-day island adventure, with tarsiers, birdlife, river paddling, island-hopping, El Nido lagoons, Port Barton reefs and the Underground River experience.
Arrive in Cebu, where you will be met and transferred to your resort for check-in. The remainder of the day is at leisure to rest after your journey or begin settling into the relaxed atmosphere of the Visayas. Depending on your arrival time, you may simply enjoy the resort facilities or take in the coastal setting at your own pace. Cebu has long been one of the Philippines’ main gateways and offers an easy introduction to the country, combining island warmth with convenient access to some of its most rewarding natural and cultural experiences. Overnight at your resort.
Crimson Resort & Spa Mactan
Crimson Resort & Spa Mactan, Cebu is a polished beachfront resort in Punta Engaño on Mactan Island, around 15 minutes from the airport. Set across six hectares, it combines a private beach setting with a more intimate scale than some of Cebu’s larger resorts.
Accommodation includes 290 rooms and villas, with a contemporary tropical style and distinctive Cebuano touches. Higher categories include private pool villas, making it especially suitable for couples, honeymooners and travellers wanting a more self-contained resort stay.
Facilities include several restaurants and bars, a spa, infinity pool, fitness centre, kids’ areas and water-based activities. Overall, it is one of Mactan’s stronger upscale leisure options.
This morning, set out by local outrigger boat, or banca, for Olango Island, lying just off the eastern side of Mactan. On arrival, continue by tricycle to the Olango Island Wildlife Sanctuary, one of the Philippines’ most important wetland reserves and a vital refuge for migratory birds. Protected since 1992, the sanctuary supports thousands of visiting birds that pass through these coastal habitats on major migration routes. Spend time exploring this peaceful environment and observing birdlife in a setting that feels far removed from the nearby city. After lunch at a local restaurant, return by boat to Mactan and your resort.
Meals Included: Breakfast, Lunch
After breakfast, there is free time at leisure until your transfer to Cebu pier for the ferry crossing to Bohol. This sea journey links two of the central Philippines’ most appealing islands and provides a change of pace from the previous coastal stay. On arrival at Tagbilaran Port, you will be met and transferred to your resort for check-in. The rest of the day is left free to relax and enjoy the setting at your own pace. Bohol offers a different character from Cebu, known for its gentle countryside, river landscapes, unusual geological formations and distinctive wildlife, all of which you will begin to explore over the coming days.
Meals Included: Breakfast
Amorita Resort
Amorita Resort is a low-rise, contemporary coastal retreat set on a limestone cliff above Alona Beach on Panglao Island, Bohol. The layout is garden-led and open to the sea, with pathways and terraces designed to catch the breeze and make the most of the outlook over the Bohol Sea.
The resort has 98 rooms, suites and villas, ranging from spacious entry-level rooms to larger suite layouts, plus villa-style accommodation for those wanting more privacy and outdoor space. Interiors are modern-tropical in feel—light finishes, practical comfort, and balconies/patios in many categories.
Facilities include two infinity pools, several dining venues, a wellness spa and a gym, making it easy to settle in between island outings. It’s also well placed for Panglao’s beach time and boat trips, with the airport a short drive away.
Today introduces the varied character of Bohol, combining wildlife, heritage and landscape in a rewarding full-day excursion. Begin at the Philippine Tarsier Foundation in Corella, where these tiny and elusive primates can be observed in a protected forest setting. Continue to historic Baclayon, with stops at the Blood Compact site and one of the island’s oldest stone churches, noted for its museum and ecclesiastical collection. The journey then passes through the mahogany stands of Bilar Man-Made Forest before reaching the iconic Chocolate Hills, whose unusual formations are among the Philippines’ best-known natural sights. Later, enjoy lunch by the Loboc River before returning to your resort.
Meals Included: Breakfast, Lunch
Today offers a different perspective on Bohol’s countryside with a stand-up paddle experience along the Abatan River. This is a gentle but engaging way to explore one of the island’s quieter natural settings, gliding through calm waters bordered by lush vegetation and rural scenery. The pace is relaxed, allowing time to appreciate the changing light, reflections on the river and the sense of stillness that characterises this part of Bohol. Suitable for beginners as well as those with some prior experience, the outing combines light activity with immersion in nature. It is a refreshing contrast to the more conventional sightseeing of the previous day.
Meals Included: Breakfast, Lunch
After breakfast, there is free time at leisure until your transfer to Tagbilaran Port for the ferry back to Cebu. On arrival, continue directly to Mactan Airport for your flight to El Nido in northern Palawan, one of the Philippines’ most celebrated island destinations. Landing at Lio Airport, transfer to your resort and check in. The rest of the day is left free to relax and enjoy the setting at your own pace. El Nido is known for its dramatic limestone seascapes, hidden lagoons and island-fringed waters, offering a striking change of scenery from the Visayas and a new coastal character for the next stage of the journey.
Meals Included: Breakfast
Huni Lio, El Nido
Huni Lio, El Nido is a contemporary beachside hotel in the Lio Tourism Estate, set close to Lio Beach and convenient for the airport, making it a practical base for a shorter El Nido stay. Its setting feels more planned and relaxed than the busier town centre.
The hotel has 50 rooms with a clean, modern style, and most are designed around comfort and convenience rather than strong local character. Balconies, work desks and straightforward contemporary finishes make it well suited to couples and easy-going leisure stays.
Facilities include dining, a bar, pool and Wi-Fi. Overall, it is a polished, convenient El Nido base.
Today, explore some of El Nido’s most iconic coastal scenery on a full-day island-hopping excursion. Travelling by boat through Bacuit Bay, discover the dramatic limestone landscapes for which this part of Palawan is famous, where steep karst cliffs rise directly from clear turquoise water. Highlights typically include the magnificent Big Lagoon, enclosed by towering rock walls, as well as the hidden beach of Secret Lagoon, reached through a narrow opening in the cliffs. Other stops may include Shimizu Island, Payong-Payong or Entalula, and Seven Commandos Beach, combining opportunities for swimming, relaxation and enjoying the extraordinary natural beauty that has made El Nido one of the Philippines’ most sought-after island destinations.
Meals Included: Breakfast, Lunch
After breakfast, leave El Nido and continue by road south to Port Barton, a quieter and more laid-back coastal area of Palawan. The overland journey offers a transition from El Nido’s internationally known lagoon scenery to a more low-key and less developed part of the island, where the atmosphere is gentler and the pace more relaxed. On arrival, transfer to your resort and check in. The remainder of the day is at leisure, allowing time to rest, enjoy the beach setting or simply settle into the unhurried rhythm of Port Barton. This change of pace is part of the appeal, offering a softer and more understated coastal experience.
Meals Included: Breakfast
Holiday Suites Port Barton
Holiday Suites Port Barton is a modern beachfront resort in Port Barton, San Vicente, set directly on the bay and around 2.5 hours by road from Puerto Princesa. Its location is the key draw, giving easy beach access and a more relaxed feel than staying in a standard inland property.
Accommodation is simple, spacious and contemporary, with a cleaner and more modern feel than many small guesthouses in the area. The emphasis is on comfort, practicality and sea-facing relaxation rather than boutique character, making it well suited to easy-going leisure stays.
Facilities include a restaurant and bar, outdoor pool, Wi-Fi and direct beach access. Overall, it is a practical and scenic base for travellers exploring Port Barton.
Today, enjoy a full-day island-hopping excursion around Port Barton, exploring clear waters, small islands and vibrant marine habitats. This part of Palawan is known for its more relaxed, less commercial feel, and the day offers a rewarding mix of snorkelling, swimming and scenic coastal stops. Sites may include reefs such as Twin Reef and Fantastic Reef, where colourful corals and tropical fish can often be seen, as well as locations such as Exotic Island, Turtle Spot and a shallow sandbar or starfish area. The experience is about simple natural pleasures rather than spectacle: calm turquoise waters, marine life, quiet beaches and a slower-paced encounter with Palawan’s coastal beauty.
Meals Included: Breakfast, Lunch
After breakfast, continue by road to the Sabang area near Puerto Princesa, a scenic journey that links two distinct parts of Palawan’s coastline. On arrival, transfer to your resort and check in. The rest of the day is at leisure to relax before tomorrow’s excursion. Sabang is best known as the gateway to one of the island’s most important natural attractions, while also offering a quieter setting backed by forested hills and coastal scenery. This final stop adds an ecological dimension to the tour, shifting the focus from islands and reefs to limestone cave systems, mangrove habitats and the rich natural environments for which Palawan is internationally recognised.
Meals Included: Breakfast
Four Points by Sheraton Palawan Puerto Princesa
Four Points by Sheraton Palawan Puerto Princesa is a contemporary beachfront resort on Sabang Beach, well placed for travellers visiting the underground river area rather than staying in central Puerto Princesa. Its setting feels spacious and self-contained, with a more relaxed resort atmosphere than a standard city hotel.
Rooms are modern and comfortable, with a clean-lined contemporary style and a softer palette inspired by the surrounding coast. The emphasis is on practicality, comfort and an easy resort stay rather than strong local character.
Facilities include restaurants, a pool bar, outdoor pool, spa, fitness centre and meeting space. Overall, it is a polished upscale base for Sabang and northern Palawan touring.
This morning, visit one of Palawan’s best-known natural wonders, the Underground River. Reached by small paddleboat, the excursion takes you into a vast limestone cave system of striking chambers, stalactites, stalagmites and cathedral-like spaces carved by the river beneath the cliffs. It is one of the Philippines’ most impressive geological sites and a fitting finale to the journey. After lunch, continue to an old-growth mangrove forest, where local interpretation introduces the ecological importance of these habitats and the wildlife they support, from reptiles and birds to marine nursery systems. Afterwards, transfer to Puerto Princesa Airport for your flight to Cebu, where you connect with your onward international departure.
Meals Included: Breakfast
GROUP, SUPPORT STAFF & TRIP STYLE:
This is a small-group island-hopping journey linking Cebu, Bohol and Palawan, combining wildlife, coastal scenery and light adventure with a relaxed tropical pace. The trip uses a mix of private transfers, local boats, ferry crossings and domestic flights, with local guides and drivers used for included excursions and transfers. The style is experiential rather than luxury-led throughout, although some resorts may be more comfortable than others depending on location. A flexible approach is important, as island travel in the Philippines can be affected by weather, sea conditions and schedule changes. This is best suited to travellers who enjoy variety, nature and moving between contrasting island environments.
ACCOMMODATION, MEAL PLAN, FOOD & WATER:
Accommodation is generally in comfortable resorts or well-located tourist-class properties, chosen for access to the itinerary’s natural highlights rather than formal luxury. Standards may vary slightly between islands, especially in smaller coastal areas such as Port Barton and Sabang, where the atmosphere is more low-key and facilities can be simpler than in larger resort destinations. Breakfast is included daily, with lunch included on selected touring days. Other meals are left open, allowing flexibility and the chance to enjoy local restaurants. Cuisine is typically seafood-rich and Filipino-international in style, with more choice in larger destinations than in quieter coastal areas. Bottled or purified drinking water should be used throughout.
HEALTH, FITNESS & TERRAIN:
This tour is suitable for travellers with a normal level of fitness who are comfortable with light-to-moderate activity in warm, humid conditions. Activities may include birdwatching walks on uneven ground, boat boarding from beaches or jetties, short climbs to viewpoints, stand-up paddle boarding, snorkelling during island-hopping excursions, and getting in and out of small local boats. The Underground River visit also involves boat travel and some waiting, depending on visitor flow. No specialist fitness is required, but travellers should be comfortable around water, able to manage steps and uneven surfaces, and prepared for a more active pace than a purely beach-based holiday.
BOATS, ISLAND-HOPPING & WATER-BASED ACTIVITIES:
This journey includes several water-based excursions, including ferry crossings, local outrigger boats, island-hopping trips, stand-up paddle boarding and the Underground River visit. Conditions at sea and on rivers can affect timings, comfort and, occasionally, operations. Travellers should be comfortable getting in and out of small boats, wearing life jackets when required, and spending time on or near the water in warm, humid conditions. Some activities, including snorkelling stops and paddle boarding, are optional in practice depending on confidence and conditions. A flexible attitude is important, as weather and local regulations may occasionally require adjustments to boat excursions or timings.
SPENDING MONEY, CURRENCY & TIPPING:
The local currency is the Philippine peso. ATMs are available in major centres such as Cebu, Tagbilaran and Puerto Princesa, but access can be more limited in smaller destinations including Port Barton and Sabang, so carrying some cash is advisable. Personal spending will depend on drinks, dinners, optional activities, souvenirs and incidental costs. Tipping is customary and appreciated in the Philippines for good service. On a group tour such as this, travellers should budget for tips for guides, drivers, boat crews, hotel staff and restaurant teams where appropriate. Exact tipping guidance can be provided before departure, but a modest allowance for gratuities should be planned.
PASSPORTS, VISAS, BAGGAGE, CLIMATE & INSURANCE:
Travellers should carry a passport valid for the required period beyond travel dates and ensure they meet current Philippines entry requirements. This itinerary involves several transfers by ferry, road and air, so baggage should be kept reasonably manageable; a soft bag or medium suitcase plus a daypack usually works best. The climate is tropical throughout: warm to hot, humid, and with the possibility of rain at any time, particularly in coastal and island areas. Light clothing, swimwear, sun protection, insect repellent and a light waterproof layer are all advisable. Comprehensive travel insurance is essential and should cover medical expenses, cancellations, delays and all included water- and activity-based excursions where applicable.
