Highlights
Itinerary
Day 1: El Nido/Sulu Sea
Location: El Nido
Meals Included: Lunch, Dinner
Welcome to the Philippines! Start today with an 8:00 am welcome moment, then bid farewell to El Nido and climb aboard for an epic adventure! Over the next two nights, you'll explore the islands of the Philippines onboard a two-story motorized bangka boat, cruising past huge karst formations, white sand coves and through the Sulu Sea. After a day of cruising, we'll camp on a secluded beach in traditional Filipino huts.
Additional Information: We highly recommend arriving the day before departure, as your first morning has an early start.
TRANSPORT: Hop on a bangka boat and cruise from El Nido through the Sulu Sea.
ACTIVITY: Your opportunity to meet your CEO and fellow travellers, and learn more about your tour. Opt to join the group for a local meal afterwards. Don't forget to see the notice in the lobby (or ask reception) for the official time and place to meet up with the group.
Day 2: Sulu Sea
Location: Sulu Sea
Meals Included: Breakfast, Lunch, Dinner
Wake to the sound of the sea reaching the sand. Climb back onto the boat and continue exploring the beautiful turquoise water. We'll make stops along the way to swim and snorkel. Keep an eye out for dolphins, sea turtles, whale sharks and breaching rays before you reach your next secluded beach camping experience.
TRANSPORT: Enjoy a day out on the open sea! Island hop from one gorgeous, secluded beach to another.
Day 3: Sulu Sea/Coron
Location: Sulu Sea
Meals Included: Breakfast, Lunch
Awaken next to the beach after another night on a beautiful, secluded Filipino island. We'll board our trusty vessel for one final expedition. Take in the view from the bow one last time before arriving to the Island of Coron. After you disembark, check into your hotel. It might just be happy hour!
TRANSPORT: Land ho! After 3 days at sea, arrive to the beautiful island of Coron.
Day 4: Coron
Location: Coron
Meals Included: Breakfast
After a few days at sea, today is a day of land exploration. In the morning, join your CEO to hike Mt Tapyas. Get your blood pumping and catch incredible vistas across the island. Then zip over to the Maquinit hot springs where you can dip a toe-or more- into the hot water. In the evening, choose to join your fellow Roamies and CEO for a final night out in Coron.
FREE TIME: FULL DAY Explore this incredible island paradise however you'd like!
ACTIVITY: MORNING Set out for a steady, uphill hike to Mount Tapyas. The 734 steps may seem daunting but take your time and climb. It is well worth it because reaching the top proves an incredible view!

-
Do you operate a “single share” option and how does it work?
Most of our trips do not have a single supplement. This means that the accommodation is on a twin share basis and, if travelling on your own, you will be sharing a room with another G Adventures traveller of the same sex. Some tours have an optional single supplement. An optional service that may be available is called "My Own Room". This service allows solo travellers to request their own room.
-
Can I join the tour once it has departed?
It's extremely difficult if not impossible to join a tour after it has begun. It is possible to leave a tour early however you will be responsible for your own arrangements from the moment you decide to leave the tour. You would also be responsible for all costs associated with joining a tour late or leaving one early. If you feel this may be necessary, please consult us before you book.
