5 THINGS YOU MUST DO IN THE PHILIPPINES

5 things you must do philippines

If you are looking for serene beaches, animal encounters, and undiscovered islands, you must visit the Philippines.

The Philippines is made up of more than 7,000 islands, each more stunning than the next. Planning a trip – especially on a strict timeline – is no easy task.

Here are our top 5 picks.

Go island hopping in El Nido

Hire a private boat to whisk you away for a gorgeous day of island hopping. A colorful array of fresh fruit, whole fish, and barbecued chicken is prepared by the crew for lunch. So don’t fret. You’re not likely to starve on a desert island.

From private lagoons to secret beaches, the scenery is as eclectic as it is breathtaking. Don’t be surprised to have an entire island to yourselves.

El Nido, Palawan – voted the most beautiful island in the world – tops our list.

Swim with whale sharks in Cebu

In 2012, a tourist nearly fainted when he spotted a school of whale sharks just offshore. Today, people flood to Oslob, Cebu each year to swim with these majestic creatures.

The time you have to get up close and personal with these massive leopard-spotted sharks will feel like a lifetime. You won’t forget it in yours.

Dive into Kawasan Falls

Though the Philippines has hundreds of waterfalls, none is more spectacular than the famed Kawasan Falls on the western coast of Cebu.

A walk alongside an emerald river will bring you to the first and most impressive waterfall. Hire a bamboo raft or take a swim in the impossibly blue water. But be warned, it does not taste like Gatorade as you might expect. Venture upstream a bit further to discover breathtaking falls, natural pools, and picturesque canyons.

Scoot to the Chocolate Hills

From Alona Beach on Panglao island, rent a scooter and drive 50km to the Chocolate Hills, named for their striking resemblance to chocolate truffles.

Make pit stops at the Loboc River, Man-Made Forest, and Tarsier Sanctuary before finally arriving at the hills themselves. You’ll think you’ve just stepped into Willy Wonka’s chocolate factory.

Go snorkeling in Coron

The only thing more gorgeous than the water itself is the majestic world that exists just below its surface. While starfish line the beach, the coral reef just offshore is home to hundreds of fish and the occasional sea turtle.
