3 Day Manila Itinerary, incl. Intramuros and Pagsanjan Falls

Arrival & Manila Orientation
- Day 2
Historic Manila Deep Dive
Start your day at 8:45 AM before traffic picks up. Your first stop is Quiapo Market. Wear good walking shoes and keep your belongings close in the busy market streets. Next up is Binondo, the oldest Chinatown in the world. Take a local jeepney ride to reach Intramuros around midday. In the afternoon, hop on a bike to explore the 64-hectare walled city. The cobblestone streets can be bumpy, but biking is the best way to see everything while staying cool. You'll finish around 3 PM with plenty of time to relax before dinner.
- Day 3
Pagsanjan Falls Adventure
Leave at 7:30 AM sharp to make the most of your day trip. You'll ride a trolley through Los Baños, getting a glimpse of local life in the countryside. The highlight is an exciting canoe ride to Pagsanjan Falls. Bring water-resistant clothes and waterproof bags for your electronics. Remember to bring 250 PHP (about $5 USD) in cash for the boatmen fee. Most groups return to Manila by 5:30 PM, but traffic might stretch that timeline.
3 Day Bohl Itinerary, incl. Pamilacan Island and Chocolate Hills
The coastal route spans 261km of Bohol, taking you to the historic Baclayon Church, iconic Chocolate Hills, and pristine Pamilacan Island. Your base at Abraham Bohol positions you perfectly to immerse in three distinct cities: Bohol, Panglao Island, and Loboc. The itinerary balances guided activities and two major island excursions across three days.
- Day 1
Arrival in Bohl
- Day 2
Pamilacan Island Adventure
Leave from Dumaluan Beach at 6 AM. Early morning boat rides give you the best chance to see dolphins and enjoy calmer waters. If you get seasick easily, bring motion sickness medication for the 1.5-hour boat trip. Listen to your guide during snorkeling - the reef areas can have strong currents. When you visit the village in the afternoon, wear appropriate clothing that respects local customs.
- Day 3
Bohl Countryside Tour
Start your day at 8 AM at the traditional salt factory to see asin tibuok (whole salt) production, a rare local craft specific to Bohl. Next up is the Chocolate Hills Viewpoint. One visitor noted: "Visit the viewpoint before 10 AM when the hills cast beautiful shadows—the light is perfect for photos and it's less crowded." Visit the Tarsier Conservation Area in the afternoon. These small primates are very sensitive to noise and camera flashes, so move quietly and follow your guide's rules carefully. After that, try paddleboarding on Loboc River. Go after 2 PM when most tourists have left and the river is quieter. Your final stop is Baclayon Church, one of the oldest churches in Asia. Some parts are still under repair after the 2013 earthquake, but the museum offers interesting information about Philippine colonial times.
3 Days in Manila, incl. Binondo and Mall of Asia
Three-day Philippines journey covers key Manila sites: historic Binondo Church, bustling Chinatown, iconic Jones Bridge, modern Mall of Asia, and Okada entertainment. Includes daily breakfast and private transfers across multiple city districts.
- Day 1
Arrival in Manila
Try to arrive in the morning at Ninoy Aquino International Airport (NAIA). Manila's traffic can stretch a 30-minute airport transfer into 2 hours during rush hour. Most hotels start check-in at 3 PM but will store your luggage if you arrive early. Book your stay in Makati or BGC for convenient access to amenities and safe areas to walk at night.
- Day 2
Historic Binondo and Modern Manila
Start your day at 8 AM before the heat and crowds pick up. Visit Binondo, the oldest Chinatown outside of China. The Binondo Church, built in 1596, shows off a unique mix of Filipino and Chinese architecture. The food scene here is incredible. Stop by New Po-Heng for fresh lumpia (spring rolls) and get hand-pulled noodles at Lan Zhou La Mien. Remember to bring small bills since most traditional vendors only take cash. Head to Mall of Asia in the afternoon to see modern Manila in action. This massive shopping complex gives you great views of Manila Bay. The best time to visit is around sunset. Watch the Okada Manila fountain show to wrap up your day. Get there 30 minutes early to find a good spot. One regular visitor shared: "The fountain show rivals the Bellagio in Las Vegas, but time it between 6-7 PM to avoid the intense humidity of later shows."
