10 Days in Philippines West, incl. Manila and El Nido
A comprehensive 10-day tour visits Manila, Puerto Princesa, Port Barton, El Nido, Daracotan Island, and Coron. Features 8 breakfasts, 4 lunches, beachfront accommodations, and unique experiences from cooking classes to shipwreck snorkeling.
- Days 1-2
Manila & Travel to Palawan
Start your trip in Manila's Makati district where you'll find great nightlife options. "The neighborhood felt safe and welcoming, with plenty of great bars within walking distance." Take a morning flight to Puerto Princesa (about 1 hour) before heading to Port Barton. Book flights before 11 AM to avoid Manila's heavy traffic.
- Days 3-4
Port Barton
Port Barton gives you a more authentic experience than other spots in Palawan. Go island hopping to see beautiful beaches and swim with sea turtles. "Watching turtles swim gracefully in their natural habitat was humbling," one traveler said. Visit fishing villages for lunch to see how locals live. You can stay right on the beach, close to restaurants and sunset views.
- Days 5-6
El Nido
The trip from Port Barton to El Nido takes 4 hours on bumpy roads. Consider taking motion sickness pills. Once in El Nido, go island hopping through stunning limestone lagoons. "The kayaking through the small lagoon was breathtaking - just make sure to wear water shoes as the rocks can be sharp." Try the beach zipline for some excitement and visit Nacpan Beach, one of Asia's best.
- Day 7
Daracotan Island Experience
- Days 8-10
Coron
Take the ferry from El Nido to Coron (3-4 hours). The water can be rough during monsoon season. You can explore WWII shipwrecks, clear lakes, and hidden lagoons. "The Kayangan Lake visit was otherworldly - go early around 7 AM to beat the crowds," one traveler suggested. Finish your trip with island hopping around Coron's limestone cliffs before flying out.
10 Days in Philippines, incl. Manila and El Nido
The Philippine archipelago opens up in this 10-day tour through Manila, Puerto Princesa, Port Barton, Palawan, and El Nido. Highlights include UNESCO Underground River tour, 2 days island hopping, cultural immersion day, and beach camping, with stays at Z Hostel Manila and Spin Hostel El Nido.
- Days 1-2
Manila to Puerto Princesa
Enjoy a welcome dinner at a rooftop terrace in Manila overlooking the city lights. Take a short flight to Puerto Princesa the next morning with 20kg checked luggage included. One traveler's insight: "I wouldn't stress too much about getting to Manila prior to the tour starting. Manila doesn't have much going for it - the tour really starts in Puerto Princesa."
- Day 3
Underground River & Port Barton
- Days 4-5
Port Barton Island Experience
Spend two days island hopping with local guides. Visit a remote island school and bring school supplies if you can. You'll snorkel beautiful reefs and spend one night camping on a private beach. A traveler's memory: "Camping on the private island felt like something out of a dream. The boatboys cooked incredible fresh seafood and we played volleyball on the beach."
- Days 6-7
El Nido Cultural Immersion
Take a 4-hour trip to El Nido with its stunning limestone cliffs. Learn traditional skills like coconut climbing and Filipino stick fighting. You can also try the island zipline if you want an extra thrill. According to one visitor: "The cultural day with Mark & Shenny was a highlight - we learned so much about local life."
- Days 8-9
El Nido Island Hopping & Relaxation
Explore the beautiful Bacuit Archipelago by boat. Swim and snorkel around coral reefs and hidden lagoons. Start your next day with a morning canopy walk for great views of the bay. Treat yourself to a traditional Filipino massage afterward. The afternoons are better for activities since mornings can be quite hot.
- Day 10

Manila to Boracay
Land in Manila early and catch your morning flight to Boracay. After landing at Caticlan Airport, take a short boat ride to Boracay Island. "The port transfer can get chaotic, so keep your vouchers handy and follow the guides' instructions carefully." Once you've checked into your hotel near White Beach, spend the evening walking through D'Mall to explore the shops and restaurants.
- Day 2
Boracay Island Hopping
Book an early morning island hopping tour. "The water is incredibly clear at Puka Beach in the morning before the crowds arrive. Bring reef-safe sunscreen and water shoes as some areas can be rocky." The tour includes snorkeling at Coral Garden and lunch. Book activities like parasailing or helmet diving separately to avoid rushed schedules.
- Day 3
Boracay to Cebu
Fly to Cebu City in the morning. Plan for a 45-minute airport transfer to downtown or 2 hours during rush hour. After checking into your city center hotel, visit Magellan's Cross and Fort San Pedro. A local tip: "Skip the fancy restaurants - the best local lechon (roasted pork) is at small local spots like CNT."
- Day 4
Moalboal & Canyoneering
Your day starts at 4am with a 3-hour drive to Kawasan Falls.

My tour to the Philippines was incredible!! Tourrader was excellent!! They were responsive and organized. We were met at the airport by one of their friendly drivers who gave us envelopes with our full itinerary and flight vouchers. We were promptly picked up for every tour, every flight, and every hotel. They communicated well with the hotels and tour guides so that our trip was smooth. They checked in with us during the trip and sent a message every night to remind us of our pick up times and planned activities. They were wonderful and I highly recommend booking a tour with this company!!! They were great!!
