Philippines Island Explorer — 13 Day

The Philippines knows how to do tropical beauty properly — think powder-white beaches, jade-green cliffs, and water so clear you can spot coral before you even dive in. On this 13-day Island Explorer, you’ll move from Manila into a string of sun-soaked island escapes, snorkelling turquoise bays, cooling off at waterfalls, and stepping into local villages where everyday life rolls on at an easy island pace.

The real magic kicks in when you head out on a multi-day boat expedition to discover quieter, less-trodden islands, with time to swim, wander, and watch the light change across the sea. You’ll travel with an experienced group leader and a ready-made crew of new mates, so the whole journey feels easy, social and full of stories worth sharing. And with Dundee Adventure Travel’s 100% carbon-neutral tours, you can soak it all up knowing your trip is a little kinder to the places you’re exploring. If you’re ready for warm water, big scenery and a proper island adventure, this is the one to lock in.

Know before you go: - Bring light, breathable clothing, swimwear, a quick-dry towel and comfortable sandals for hot days and boat travel. - Pack reef-safe sunscreen, insect repellent, a hat and sunglasses — the tropical sun is no joke. - A small dry bag is a smart idea for keeping your phone, camera and valuables safe during snorkelling and transfers. - You’ll need a valid passport and any visa or entry documents required for your nationality; check these before departure. - Some days involve boat transfers, sand, and uneven paths, so a moderate level of mobility will make the trip more comfortable. - Final meeting and check-in details will be confirmed on your travel documents, so keep an eye on your email before you fly.
