Itinerary
Day 1 Manila
Arrive at anytime and dive right into the bustling city life of Manila. There's nothing planned today until your Welcome Meeting this evening, so spend the day how you'd like. Manila is the biggest, brightest and liveliest city in the Philippines so start your adventure off on a high note by exploring the neighborhood near your hostel
Day 2 Manila/Mount Purro
After breakfast in Manila, travel with your group to Mount Purro Nature Reserve, a G for Good project. You'll be greeted by your local hosts for the next 2 days before heading out on an afternoon jungle waterfall hike and swim. In the evening, join the local Dumagat people to cook over the bonfire. Together, learn to make rice and Filipino tom yum soup over the fire in bamboo before sitting down to dig in to the meal together
Day 3 Mount Purro/Manila
We know it's early but you don't want to miss this. Wake while it's still dark for a hike up to the peak of Mount Purro for an amazing view of the sunrise. Take it all in, maybe a selfie or two, before hiking back down. Enjoy breakfast at the reserve and enjoy your final jungle moments. Late morning, we'll drive back to Manila and enjoy some free time in the city
Day 4 Manila
In the morning, choose to join your CEO and visit many must see points around the city like Fort Santiago, Manila Cathedral and Postigo del Palacio. Or just take it easy and have a wander around Makati. In the afternoon, hop in a legendary Filipino jeepney and eat your way through Chinatown. It's known as the culinary center of the Philippines, so try their street food - a blend of typical Chinese and Filipino food
Day 5 Manila/Puerto Princesa
This morning, we'll head to the airport and catch a flight to Puerto Princesa. After arriving in the early afternoon, spend a free afternoon in this seaside paradise. Opt to go on the Puerto Princesa City Tour and visit notable spots like Immaculate Conception Cathedral and Baker's Hill
Day 6 Puerto Princesa/El Nido
This morning, put on your adventure hat, grab your camera and visit the famed underground river on a boat ride through Puerto Princesa Subterranean River National Park. In the afternoon, we'll drive to El Nido. Great ready for the next few days: forecast calls for crystal blue water, karst cliffs, and perfect island life. Not too shabby
Day 7 El Nido
If you came to the Philippines for island life, today will be your day. Hop aboard for our very own private island hopping tour. Epic right? We'll cruise, swim and snorkel our way through perfectly clear water, stopping at iconic beaches like Hidden Beach and Secret Beach. A pretty dreamy day if you ask us
Day 8 El Nido
Spend your last day in El Nido doing exactly what you want! There are so many things to do to make for your perfect day! You could hike to the top of Taraw Peak for a gorgeous view or visit Kuyawyaw Falls. Looking for more of a beachy vibe? Opt to kayak through the crystal clear water or relax on the white sand and enjoy a beach day
Day 9 El Nido/Sulu Sea
Say goodbye to Palawan Island and climb aboard for an epic adventure! Over the next two nights, you'll explore the islands of the Philippines onboard a two-story motorized bancas boat, cruising past huge krast formations, white sand coves and through the Sulu Sea. After a day of cruising, we'll camp on a secluded beach in traditional filipino huts. Talk about living the island dream
Day 10 Sulu Sea
Wake to the sound of the sea reaching the sand. Climb back onto the boat and continue exploring the beautiful turquoise water. We'll make stops along the way to swim and snorkel. Keep an eye out for dolphins, sea turtles, whale sharks and breaching rays before you reach your next secluded beach camping experience
Day 11 Sulu Sea/Coron
Awaken next to the beach after another night on a beautiful, secluded Filipino island. We'll board our trusty vessel for one final expedition. Take in the view from the bow one last time before arriving to the Island of Coron. After you disembark, check into your hotel. It might just be happy hour!
Day 12 Coron
After a few days at sea, today is a day of land exploration. In the morning, join your CEO to hike Mt Tapyas. Get your blood pumping and catch incredible vistas across the island. Then zip over to the Maquinit hot springs where you can dip a toe-or more- into the hot water. In the evening, choose to join your fellow Roamies and CEO for a final night out in Coron
Day 13 Coron
Say goodbye to your Roamies and depart at any time
