Holiday Suggestions


Illustrated here are just a few of our holiday suggestions - destinations which, in our experience, link up well.

Many of our clients like to pick and choose their own elements, and we then devise an itinerary to make that work.

Planning Your Tour


Throughout this website you'll see small white boxes like this one, which will hopefully help give you an idea of what destinations link best with others. As far as possible, we'll also advise a minimum period of stay for each place.

Some destinations lend themselves to being incorporated in a fluent itinerary more than others. If a combination isn't entirely practical, we'll let you know. Be assured though, we'll do our best to make a tour of the Philippines as smooth as it can be!

If you want a guide to travel with you, this is entirely possible - just ask. In several areas - Leyte, for example, we incorporate this in your trip.

Throughout the Philippines, you will be met at most points of arrival by our representative, or that of your accommodation provider.

We can make a package from most destinations you choose, so if the itinerary you desire is not here, please ask. Further destinations can be viewed here.

Why we don’t include International flight costs in our quoted holiday prices...

Some operators include an ‘assumed’ flight cost with their holidays, giving an overall package cost. These prices therefore may not be accurate as the cost of flights can vary wildly depending on many factors. By quoting separately we believe we are giving our customers a more honest price.
