Contiki has introduced its Philippines Island Hopping experience, giving travellers the chance to explore the country’s most famous tourist hotspots in under two weeks.
There are two versions of this trip – the nine-day version goes to Puerto Princesa, Port Barton and El Nido, while the 13-day version includes an additional sea safari adventure to the Coron Islands.
Both trips include many island adventures, such as a boat ride through the UNESCO World Heritage Site of Subterranean River National Park, an island-hopping day trip in Port Barton, a Jeepney ride to Nacpan Beach, and a Special Stay and Make Travel Matter experience at the Isla Experience in Daracoton Island – which directly contributes to the welfare of the locals.
The optional four-day Boat Expedition takes travellers to some of the undiscovered gems in the Philippines, including Palawan Calamian’s Group of Islands (Northern Palawan archipelago) and famous attractions such as Coron islands, Cullion and Linapacan. It includes a private boat, the chance to go snorkelling in Coral Garden, seaside camping in Coron, and a visit to Turtle Islands.
Among the included experiences is a Filipino-classic tricycle ride to Las Cabanas for a beach sunset, and a traditional boodle fight. Travellers will also have a chance to visit a local’s house for an authentic locally-grown Filipino Meal.
Both trips include internal flights, boat transfers and all other transport – along with all accommodation and various meals.
