Overview

About this Philippines trip

The Philippines packs some of Asia's most dramatic island scenery into a short, easy trip. Begin with a night in Manila to walk the Spanish-era walls of Intramuros, then fly to Bohol for the surreal Chocolate Hills, the tiny tarsiers and a lunch cruise on the Loboc River. The finale is three nights in El Nido, Palawan, where bangka boats thread between limestone cliffs to hidden lagoons, secret beaches and coral gardens. Indian passport holders can now visit visa-free for short stays, which makes this one of the simplest beach holidays outside the usual Thailand–Bali circuit.

Seven thousand islands of limestone lagoons, white sand and warm Filipino hospitality.

Duration: 6 Nights / 7 Days
Stay: 3-star and boutique beach resorts (4-star upgrade available)
Transport: Domestic flights; private air-conditioned van; shared bangka boats for island hopping
Best time: December to May (dry season); June to October brings rain and occasional typhoons
Departures: 8 upcoming dates

Questions

Frequently asked questions

Do Indians need a visa for the Philippines?

Indian passport holders currently get visa-free entry for a short tourist stay (14 days), extendable to 30 days if you hold a valid US, Japan, Australia, Canada, Schengen, Singapore or UK visa. You must also register on the free eTravel portal within 72 hours of arrival. We confirm the latest rules when you book.

Are there direct flights from India?

Most routings connect through Singapore, Bangkok, Kuala Lumpur or Hong Kong, taking 9–12 hours in total. Where a nonstop Delhi–Manila service suits your dates, we use it.

Is El Nido good for non-swimmers?

Yes. Life jackets are provided on every boat, the lagoons are calm, and you can enjoy most stops from the boat or the beach. Kayaking in the Big Lagoon is gentle.

Can island-hopping tours be cancelled?

The coast guard can suspend boat tours in rough weather, mostly between June and October. If that happens we reschedule within your stay or refund the tour value.

Is vegetarian food easy to find?

Filipino food is meat- and seafood-heavy, but El Nido and Manila have Indian and vegetarian-friendly restaurants. Let us know in advance and we will pre-arrange vegetarian boat lunches.
