Fun-Filled 10-Day Nature Adventure to Cebu & Palawan Islands Package from Manila

On day 2, you’ll check out of your hotel in Manila and fly to Cebu. You will then be transported to your hotel in Moalboal after you land at the Mactan-Cebu International Airport. Once you’ve settled in your room, you’ll have the rest of the day to yourself. Some of the sights you can visit during your first day here are White Beach and Panagsama Beach. Both beaches are perfect for a chill afternoon by the sea, but Panagsama has a bigger selection of bars and restaurants to choose from for a meal or a snack before ending the day. 

For your third day, you’ll go on a tour of Moalboal’s top attractions. The excursion includes a snorkeling experience off Moalboal's shores, allowing you to witness the famous sardine run. You'll also explore Pescador Island, where you can find a historic lighthouse and snorkel among vibrant coral reefs. You will also be treated to a tasty lunch during your adventure. 

The tour concludes with a visit to Turtle Bay, where, if you're lucky, you can observe serene sea turtles while snorkeling. Afterward, you'll be escorted back to the port and returned to your accommodations, concluding a memorable island-hopping adventure.
 

The next morning, you’ll go on a whale shark-watching tour in Oslob. When you’re in Oslob, you'll board a boat and cruise to a popular feeding spot to see these gentle giants up close. However, sightings are not guaranteed as they are migratory animals. Afterward, you'll proceed to the Sumilon Sandbar, renowned for its ever-changing shape due to the winds and waves. Here, you can stroll along the sand or take a refreshing dip in the crystal-clear turquoise waters surrounding the sandbar.

The final stop of your day will be at Tumalog Falls, which features unique and picturesque cascades. You can swim in the natural pool at its base or simply savor the stunning scenery and tranquil ambiance. (Tumalog Falls is temporarily closed and will be temporarily replaced by a monkey-viewing activity in Oslob.) Apart from the tour, you’ll also move to a hotel in Cebu City today.

The following day, you’ll head back to the Mactan-Cebu International Airport for your flight to Puerto Princesa in Palawan. You will then have the rest of the day to yourself after checking in your new accommodations. During your free time, you can visit popular attractions like Mitra’s Ranch, Baker’s Hill, and the Puerto Princesa City Baywalk Park. You can also visit local establishments like the famous Palawaño Brewery, which serves a unique line of craft beers made with local ingredients like coconuts and mangoes, for a drink and some food. 

On day 6, you’ll go on a tour of the world-famous Puerto Princesa Underground River. Also recognized as a UNESCO World Heritage Site, this river is home to a diverse range of animals and features a “ridge-to-reef” ecosystem. You will also hop in a paddle boat and cruise through the cave that the river runs through. 

Afterward, you’ll leave Puerto Princesa and head to San Vicente via a land transfer. You will have the rest of the day to yourself after settling in your hotel here. Among the best attractions you can visit during your first day in San Vicente is the popular Long Beach, known as the longest white-sand beach in the Philippines. 
 

Today, you can go on one of four island-hopping tours. Tour A focuses on Fantastic Reef, Naonao Beach, and Pamuayan Beach, while Tour B will take you to Twin Reef, Exotic Island, and Paradise Island. Then for Tour C, it includes stops at White Beach, Aquarium Reef 1, and Aquarium Reef 2. As for Tour D, its highlights are Bigaho Falls, Wide Reef, and Lagoon Reef. 

Each tour is also inclusive of lunch and transfers, so you can expect a hassle-free trip regardless of which tour you choose for day 7. After the tour, you’ll be escorted back to your hotel so you can rest before your trip to El Nido tomorrow. 
 

For day 8, a driver will pick you up from your hotel in San Vicente and bring you to your accommodations in El Nido for the next part of your vacation. When you settle in El Nido, you’ll embark on an island-hopping tour to kickstart your time here. Today’s tour begins with a stop at Big Lagoon. This natural pool is encircled by towering karst cliffs, which provide shelter from strong winds and maintain tranquil waters.

Following your time here, your next destination will be Shimizu Island, known for its powdery white sands and azure waters teeming with vibrant marine life. Next, you'll proceed to Secret Lagoon, a secluded natural pool nestled along the coast of Miniloc Island. Your tour concludes with a visit to Seven Commandos Beach, a picturesque shoreline where you can relax and enjoy activities like beach volleyball. 
 

For day 9 of this itinerary, you have the option to explore El Nido on your own or consider booking additional island-hopping tours. Should you decide to embark on another guided island-hopping excursion, you have a choice among Tours B, C, or D.

Tour B includes visits to Snake Island, Cudognon Cave, Cathedral Cave, and Popolcan Island. Meanwhile, Tour C will lead you to Hidden Beach, Matinloc Island, Secret Beach, and Helicopter Island. Finally, Tour D will take you to Small Lagoon, Paradise Beach, Cadlao Lagoon, and Pasandigan Beach. 
 

On the final day of this vacation package, a designated driver will accompany you to the airport after you’ve checked out of your hotel. If your flight is scheduled for a later time, you can enjoy some last-minute souvenir shopping within El Nido or savor a meal at a nearby local eatery.
