skeleton red dragon snorkel and discover the fascinating history of the sankenship after that it's time to relax at cyc beach although we had cloudy weather on the stop the beach was still beautiful finally we will end our tour at the twin Lagoon where you can soak up the most beautiful landscape I have ever seen in my life what an unforgettable day foreign Island and today we are renting a

the few saltwater hot springs in the world and a perfect destination for relaxation ah and it is our last day here and I recommend going on the island hopping tour you will visit Three stunning

on the itinerary is El Nido to get there you can hop on a ferry which will take approximately 4 hours we will spend here three nights El Nido is famous for its island hopping tours and gorgeous beaches ferries usually arrive around noon so after lunch I recommend starting your exploration of El Nido from the top through canopy walk after climbing stairways and Crossing hanging Bridges a jaw-dropping view of El Nido will make all the Sweat worth it [Music] in the evening explore the vibrant City Center on the second day in El Nido it's time for a scooter Adventure head to nakpan Beach and give yourself some time to relax [Music] enjoy some fresh seafood and continue your journey tonight waterfalls it's quite a hike to get there but the views along the way are spectacular [Music] and it is magnificent day by catching the sunset at Las Cabanas Beach [Music] our third day in El Nido is dedicated to Island hoping I recommend both tour a which is the most popular one and for a good reason the absolute highlights are the big and small lagoons with some fantastic kayaking [Music] other top sites on tour a include the sacred Lagoon shimitsu island with delicious picnic lunch and seven Commandos Beach Just Another Day in Paradise time has come to leave El Nido and continue to Puerto Princesa to get there book your seat in a van for only 500 pesos it takes four and a half hours to get there once you arrive explore Puerto Princesa and then rent a car for 24 hours because you will need it the next day good morning today is a special day we will drive to sabang a coastal town from where we will embark on a boat to reach the Puerto Princesa underground river which is one of the new Seven Wonders of Nature and a UNESCO world heritage site embark on a small boat to explore the impressive 8.2 kilometer long underground river system with stunning cave formations it will be just you on a tiny boat in the dark surrounded by beds such a cool experience that is definitely worth it just know that you need to head to the Puerto Princesa underground river management office in Puerto Princesa to book your tour at least one day ahead otherwise you will not be allowed to enter the park we are now leaving palavan behind and continuing to Cebu the flight takes only an hour and a half after landing take a bus and head to moaba which takes around 4 hours in and near the coastal town of Marlboro you can find the best that Cebu has to offer [Music] the first reason why people visit Cebu is for ziplining and canyoniring in kawasan Falls which definitely made it into my top three of our Philippine trip you can book a tour or like us go with your rented scooter and get a guide on the spot this was so much fun an adventure you will never forget people also visit Cebu to swim with thousands and thousands of sardines it was a bit challenging to capture but you can imagine how awesome this experience was the Sardine run is only a couple of meters away from the shores of panaxama Beach and this stunning Day by watching the sunset at White Beach on the next day you definitely have to rent a scooter and drive to the stunning mantayuban Falls [Music] this is without a doubt one of the most beautiful waterfalls I've seen in my life after a refreshing swim heads to osmania Peak which is only a 15 minute hike it is beautiful but make sure to go a bit earlier in the day unlike us when the sun had already set [Music] on the next day we will embark on a mission to travel from Cebu to our next destination Bohol to reach Bohol take a taxi to oslob and then catch a ferry to pangol [Music] the ideal place to stay is around Alona Beach where you can explore the area and enjoy the beach in the afternoon wake up to a beautiful morning and rent a scooter for a full day of exploring Bohol the first stop is the famous Chocolate Hills they are called The Chocolate Hills because during dry season the grass on them turns brown [Music] continue then to the beautiful pangas Falls for a refreshing break [Music] next on the list is the impressive Belair man-made Forest where locals planted mahogany trees to combat deforestation and set a positive example the last destination for today is the Magnificent baclion church one of the oldest churches in the mostly Christian country on the following day in Bohol we will hit the road once again starting at the Philippine tarsier Sanctuary to witness the adorable Tarsiers tarziers are one of the smallest primates on planet Earth and they look like aliens they are super cute their eyes are bigger than their brains and they can turn their heads around 360 degrees but their eyeballs can only stare still from there we will proceed to the lombok river for a stunning river cruise with lunch and spectacular views [Music] after lunch hop back on your scooter and head to the central part of Bohol to admire the breathtaking Rice Terraces you will not find these views in Europe what a remarkable day on our last day here we will take it easy at Panglao island in the morning we will visit the hinagdanan cave before heading to the beautiful beach of Bohol the best way to enjoy the beach is from the beach bar in the South Palm Resort Bangalore order some refreshment and you can enjoy their sunbeds for free the beach is stunning and let's face it we need a day to relax [Music] the last Island to explore is probably the most famous One in all of the Philippines yes you have guessed it we are heading to the stunning Boracay to reach Boracay take a ferry from Bohol to Cebu and then a quick flight from Cebu City to Boracay we will spend here three nights and it is the perfect time to enjoy a luxurious resort with refreshing drinks relax by the pool and experience one of the most breathtaking beaches I have ever seen in my life in the evening heads to the town and make sure to witness at least one sunset at the white Beach this place is truly incredible once you are done absorbing vitamin C let's head back to Manila [Music] some peoples give this part of the trip but I think it's a big mistake because this city has so much to offer you must visit the famous historic world city of intramuros which was an important part of the city in the Spanish era make sure to visit Fort Santiago Manila Cathedral and San Augustine church there are two main ways of public transportation and that's tricycles and also Japanese there are these Jeeps that were produced by U.S military during World War II they kept them they renewed them they put some ornaments on them locals use them quite a lot and they're very cheap my favorite part of Manila was definitely the Chinatown make sure not to skip the iconic benondo Church this is definitely one of the coolest experiences so far here in Manila another must is to enjoy The Nightlife preferably in one of the manila's famous rooftop bars I can only recommend the penthouse 8747 inspired by The Great Gatsby so this is it I hope you found this video valuable for More Travel inspiration and detailed information from each occasion check out my upcoming Philippine travel vlogs thank you for watching and
