Divergent Travelers

Ultimate Philippines Itinerary for 10 Days, 2 Weeks or 3 Weeks

The Philippines is a huge archipelago of over 7000 islands, so putting together the perfect Philippines itinerary means that you have a lot of different destinations to choose from.

Each island is different too, and while that means that there’s something for every type of traveler, it also means that it’s always a challenging crafting a Philippines itinerary. 

You need to factor in logistics, the time you have to explore, and whether you want to see beaches and palm trees, or smoking volcanoes and mountaintops.

We are here to help you sift through the overwhelm and share with you our thoughts and experience from several visits with a combined total of more than 3 months of traveling in the Philippines .

Without further ado, here’s our guide to planning the perfect Philippines itinerary, no matter the length of your trip.

Best Time to Visit the Philippines

The Philippines has a very tropical climate, and the year is predominantly split into a wet and a dry season. The climate varies of course, with mountainous regions enjoying a cooler climate, and the beaches having fiercely hot summers. 

The dry season is the best time to enjoy your Philippines itinerary. It falls between November and May, and you can expect clear skies, clear waters for snorkeling, and little chance of rain. 

The wet season sees huge storms hitting the Philippines, and these will often turn into large and potentially destructive typhoons. The wet season, between June and November, is not a good time to explore the Philippines.

Getting Around in the Philippines

This is a huge country, and with over 7000 islands spread out across a vast stretch of ocean, you’ll need to factor in some logistics when you’re planning your Philippines itinerary. 

The islands are spread over, and if you’ve only got two weeks, then you’ll need to fly between the major destinations. You can use Cebu or Manila as hubs, as from these airports you can reach almost any other city and island with either Air Asia, Philippines Airlines or Cebu Pacific.

If you’ve got longer, then you can take ferries and travel overland. Every island is connected by ferries, although these will vary in speed and level of comfort.

On land, you can take buses or minibusses between cities, while within cities you’ll either want to hire a tricycle or if you’re feeling adventurous, jump on a Jeepney. In Manila and Cebu, you’re best using the ride-hailing app Grab to get around quickly and safely. 

Costs and Budgets

The Philippines can be an inexpensive country to travel around, especially if you stick to local transport and food, and stay in dorms or budget hotels.

You can get away with spending as little as USD 20 a day, plus the cost of activities such as island hopping or snorkeling. 

On the other end of the spectrum, in destinations such as Boracay and even Manila, you can spend much more, and splurge on luxurious hotels and gourmet restaurants. 

Read reviews and check prices with our Hotel Search Engine , which gives you the best hotel deals found on the web. Our search engine pulls results from all of the major booking places, including Expedia, Hotels, Booking and more. All the options, all the deals, all in one place and just for you.

Safety Tips in the Philippines

The Philippines has a mixed reputation when it comes to safety because this is a country that often makes it into the news for its admittedly frequent natural disasters and internal conflicts. 

Yes, there are insurgencies in the south, and yes, there are active volcanoes and a fierce typhoon season. But plan well, and keep an eye on the weather and you’ll stay out of trouble. 

Filipinos are some of the friendliest and most hospitable people in the world, and you’ll soon find out why the country’s tourism slogan is ‘It’ s more fun in the Philippines’. 

Ideal 10 Day Philippines Itinerary

While these 10 days could be produced in more than a hundred varieties, I think it is important to note that we are building this route for first-time visitors to the Philippines.

This will include some of the most famous and popular places that you simply cannot miss when you come to the Philippines.

Of course, you’re free to substitute and head off to whatever places beckon to you, but no matter how you swing it, these places are a must.

10 Day Philippines Itinerary Overview:

10 day Philippines itinerary map

  • Day 1: Arrive in Manila – depending on time, do some afternoon sightseeing
  • Day 2: Fly to Coron in the morning – explore the area or book an afternoon tour
  • Day 3: Island Hopping tour around Coron Island
  • Day 4: Island Hopping tour around nearby islands
  • Day 5: Fly to Cebu in the morning
  • Day 6: Cebu – take a day trip to Kawasan Falls
  • Day 7: Fly to Caticlan and take the ferry to Boracay
  • Day 8: Boracay
  • Day 9: Fly to Manila in the morning – spend the day exploring the city and visiting its sites
  • Day 10: Depart the Philippines

With 7,000 islands, the options are literally endless. That said, we’ve been many times and this will give you a good taste of the best.

While at first glance the Philippines look easy and you may think that you can see a lot of areas in 10 days, this is not the case. Logistics are something most people overlook when planning a Philippines itinerary.

There are very few islands that are connected to each other by flights. This means that to change islands, in most cases, you will have to fly back to Manila and then onwards to the new place. This also has to be done as segments and you will not be able to book the flights on one reservation.

This requires a lot of planning and sadly, a lot of time spent in airports, especially if you have luggage. As you have to collect and recheck on each segment.

So the overview we provided above is one of the most seamless ways to see a few of the most famous areas in the Philippines without having to fly back to Manila. You’re welcome!

Manila: 1 to 2 Days

Manila is the sprawling, chaotic and hectic capital of the Philippines, and while most travelers need to pass through here to get elsewhere, few actually hang around for too long. 

It’s not all traffic and smog though, and it’s well worth hanging around for at least a day or two to get under the skin of the Philippines’ largest city because this is where you’ll find history and heritage in abundance. 

Popular Things to See in Manila

Visit the old Spanish colonial city, Intramuros, where you can see the stone bastions that defended Manila for centuries, and delve deep into the local heritage. 

Unravel the historical threads of Philippine culture as you stroll Manila’s 16th-century walled city, Intramuros, with a guide . Hear how Manila evolved through Malay, Spanish, American, and Japanese eras; learn about pre-colonization peoples and the national hero Dr. José Rizal.

The financial hub of Makati is Manila’s trendiest district. It’s a great place to stay, and a great place for fusion food and craft beers when the sun goes down. 

Discover historical information you may have missed, on a private half-day tour of Makati , a great introduction for first-time visitors. Check off highlights such as San Agustin Church and Museum, Rizal Park and Shrine, Fort Santiago and Intramuros, a UNESCO World Heritage Site.

No other district in Manila can beat Binondo when it comes to food. This is Manila’s Chinatown, and it’s an epic world of food, markets, and culture.

Coron: 3 to 4 Days

Travel to Coron to find one of the most spectacular places in the country. No Philippines itinerary is complete without at least 3 days in Coron, but to see everything, you’ll need to save as much as a week to explore. 

Coron is rapidly growing into a top destination, but it still remains beautifully rustic, and in many places, totally uncrowded too. There are towering limestone cliffs, clear freshwater lagoons, and remote, isolated islands . 

Popular Things to See in Coron

KAYANGAN LAKE

The most popular tourist attraction in Coron is Kayangan Lake . This beautiful, freshwater lake is steeped in local legend and is refreshingly clear and cool to swim in. 

Book this great full-day tour that takes in all the island’s highlights, including snorkeling at the Siete Pecados Marine Park and Coral Eden, a boat cruise around Kayangan Lake, and swimming at the Twin Lagoons, plus a delicious seafood lunch on Calachuchi Beach.

MOUNT TAPYAS

For a view over the islands, then hike up the steps that lead from Coron Town to the summit of Mount Tapyas. It’s the best spot in Coron for sunset. 

PASS ISLAND

Head to Pass Island to find one of Coron’s most remote, yet spectacular destinations. Maroon yourself on Pass Island, where you can enjoy white sands and relaxed Island vibes.

Cebu: 2 to 3 Days

Cebu is home to the Philippines’ second city, Cebu City, but away from the metropolis, it’s a verdant, green paradise brimming with waterfalls and beaches. 

Popular Things to See in Cebu

If you’ve ever wanted to swim with shoals of hundreds of thousands of sardines, then take a trip to Moal Boal. Jump into the water off the beach and you’ll be immersed in the sardine runs. 

KAWASAN FALLS

Head to Kawasan Falls, where you can find the most spectacular waterfall in the Philippines. You can swim in turquoise plunge pools, or jump from towering cliffs into the water far below. 

If you are looking for an adrenaline-filled tour, no trip to Cebu is complete without visiting the Kawasan Canyon. Explore the canyon in a safe and secure environment during a full-day excursion from Cebu in a small group .

Jump into pools from heights of up to 30 feet (9 meters) and swim through caves and rivers. Plus, you’ll hike through the forest and enjoy lunch at Kawasan Falls.

Boracay: 2 to 3 Days

The most famous island in the Philippines is Boracay. This is the original tropical paradise, where you can find white sand beaches and fiery sunsets. 

But Boracay suffered from over-tourism and was forced to close for 6 months for a massive cleanup. It’s reopened though, and the future looks bright. 

Popular Things to See in Boracay

WHITE BEACH

The most iconic place in Boracay is White Beach. This long stretch of sand is glorious, and one of the most famous beaches in the Philippines. 

D’MALL

Head to D’Mall, just off the beach, where you can find Boracay’s best bars and restaurants. 

ISLAND HOPPING

Boracay has great beaches and is surrounded by great islands and snorkeling spots. The best way to explore is to join an island hopping tour.

Ideal 2 Week Philippines Itinerary

Using the initial 10-day itinerary as our base from above, we are going to build on that for the 2 week Philippines itinerary.

Honestly, it won’t look a whole lot different, with the exception of adding additional destinations. As I’ve already mentioned, the biggest hurdle is logistics in the Philippines.

So you want to plan your itinerary in a way that minimizes your time on airplanes, in airports and instead maximizes your time out adventuring.

With that said, I want to show your two viable options to maximize your 2 week Philippines itinerary below. There is no right answer, it truly depends on your interests.

2 Week Philippines Itinerary Overview – OPTION A:

2 week Philippines itinerary map

  • Day 4: Island Hopping tour or start 5-day sea expedition to El Nido
  • Day 5: Fly to El Nido
  • Day 6: El Nido
  • Day 7: Travel overland to Puerto Princesa
  • Day 8: Puerto Princesa
  • Day 9: Fly to Cebu in the morning
  • Day 10: Cebu – take a day trip to Kawasan Falls
  • Day 11: Fly to Caticlan and take the ferry to Boracay
  • Day 12: Boracay
  • Day 13: Fly to Manila in the morning – spend the day exploring the city and visiting its sites
  • Day 14: Depart the Philippines

2 Week Philippines Itinerary Overview – OPTION B:

2 week Philippines itinerary map

  • Day 4: Island Hopping tour
  • Day 5: Fly to Bohol in the morning
  • Day 6: Bohol/ Panglao
  • Day 7: Bohol/ Panglao
  • Day 8: Ferry to Cebu
  • Day 9: Cebu – take a day trip to Kawasan Falls
  • Day 10: Cebu – island tour

As your Philippines itinerary gets longer, you’ll be required to navigate trickier logistics. With 2 weeks, though, you can still be pretty fluid and avoid going back to Manila between islands on both of the above itineraries.

Taking island hopping day tours and utilizing local ferries in each of these destinations will allow you to explore more of the area, as well.

Palawan 4 to 5 Days

To the south of Coron, you can find Palawan, an island that’s often been called the Last Frontier of the Philippines. While many places here are far from untouched now, few places can match Palawan for raw beauty. 

Visit El Nido for parties and island hopping, head to Puerto Princesa for beaches and underground rivers, or travel far south to get really off the beaten track. 

Popular Things to See in Palawan

Located on the northern tip of Palawan, El Nido is a must-visit for any Philippines itinerary.

A sleepy little fishing village has grown into the number one backpacking spot in the Philippines, and once you start island hopping, you’ll soon understand why. 

Enjoy the beautiful coastline scenery on this full-day sightseeing cruise from El Nido . Relax onboard the boat while traveling around the islands and beaches of Bacuit Bay.

This includes 7 Commando Beach, Shimizu Island, and Secret Lagoon. Stop for swimming and snorkeling using the provided equipment, and refuel midday with a buffet lunch.

PUERTO PRINCESA UNDERGROUND RIVER

Close to Palawan’s largest city, you can find an unusual UNESCO World Heritage Site. The Underground River is a remarkable network of waterways that have carved a route through limestone rocks. 

Visit the Puerto Princesa Subterranean River National Park, and paddle down the Puerto Princesa Underground River on this 8-hour tour .

Board a boat at the mouth of the cave at Sabang Wharf, and stop at the Buenavista viewpoint for views of the Ulugan Bay.

Located far south, Balabac is about as off the beaten track as you can go in Palawan. Think raw Island scenery and untouched beaches.

Bohol: 2 to 3 Days

Bohol is the perfect place to visit if you’re putting together your first Philippines itinerary. 

You can visit the famed Chocolate Hills, hang out on Alona Beach, and island-hop to beautiful natural spots. 

Popular Things to See in Bohol

CHOCOLATE HILLS

One of the most famous places in the Philippines, no one should miss out on these legendary chocolate-colored hilltops. 

Enjoy a full-day tour of Bohol Island while traveling with an informative guide around the stunning island. Relax during a lunch cruise on the Loboc River.

Here you’ll have the opportunity to spot indigenous Philippine tarsiers, some of the smallest primates in the world, and then take in the Chocolate Hills from several vantage points.

ALONA BEACH

Found on Panglao Island, Alona Beach is the best place to stay in Bohol. White sands, fiery sunsets, and great snorkeling and diving opportunities.

Ideal 3 Week Philippines Itinerary

Continuing to build off the above itineraries, we have an additional week to play with when we consider a 3 week Philippines itinerary. In my opinion, you still want to avoid routing back through Manila, if at all possible.

However, with a 3-week itinerary, you’re going to find yourself flying back through either Manila or Cebu to access some other places.

Unless, of course, you choose to use your additional week to extend your stays in Coron, El Nido/Palawan, Cebu, Boracay or Bohol. All of which are perfectly acceptable options.

If you want to know the truth, we’d happily spend 3 solid weeks just in Palawan! So each to their own, but there is still plenty to check out in the Philippines, so don’t be shy about island hopping either.

3 Week Philippines Itinerary Overview – OPTION A:

3 week Philippines itinerary map

  • Day 2: Take Bus & Ferry to Puerto Galera
  • Day 3: Puerto Galera
  • Day 4: Puerto Galera – afternoon ferry/bus to Manila
  • Day 5: Fly to Coron in the morning – explore the area or book an afternoon tour
  • Day 6: Island Hopping tour around Coron Island
  • Day 7: Island Hopping tour or start 5-day sea expedition to El Nido

  • Day 18: Ferry to Caticlan and fly to Manila
  • Day 19: Manila – spend the day exploring the city and visiting its sites
  • Day 20: Manila – day trip to Taal Volcano

A 3-week Philippines itinerary, no doubt, will give you a solid amount of time to see some of the best areas of the Philippines. You’ll get into multiple provinces and regions while having a nice balance of beaches, islands and adventure.

It is possible to venture further afield, and of course, there are still plenty of places in the Philipines that are worth a visit, even though they are not mentioned above.

Puerto Galera: 2 to 3 Days

Located just a short journey to the south of Manila, you can quickly escape the urban jungle with a trip to Puerto Galera.

Take a ferry from Batangas to the island of Mindoro, where you’ll find beautiful beaches, jungle-clad waterfalls, and excellent snorkeling and diving. 

Popular Things to See in Puerto Galera

The best beach in Puerto Galera is White Beach, known for its perfect white sands. 

Head inland to explore the crashing, towering waterfalls of Puerto Galera. 

SNORKELING & DIVING

Puerto Galera is surrounded by world-class reefs, and an unbelievable level of biodiversity is awaiting you beneath the waves. 

It is also a fantastic place to get your PADI scuba certification. So if you want to do some diving in the Philippines, or need a refresher course, Puerto Galera is a fantastic place to do this.

Siargao: 3 to 4 Days

Siargao is the most up and coming island in the Philippines. Made famous by Instagrammers showing off the rustic jungles and glorious beaches, this is a place where tourism is only going to increase. 

It’s also well known for its surfing opportunities and laid back island vibe. This has made it a popular backpacker hangout, but even is that isn’t your style, you should still add it to your list.

Popular Things to See in Siargao 

Siargao is the Philippines’ best-known surf spot, and there are plenty of great breaks to test your skills on. 

There’s not just one island here though, there are hundreds, and the best way to explore is on an island-hopping trip. 

Visit General Luna, Naked Island, Daku Island, and Guyam Island on a full-day tour of the Siargao Island area from Manila . Learn about the culture, history, and ecosystem of each distinct island through guided commentary as you travel.

Philippines Scuba Diving Itinerary

The Philippines is a scuba diving mecca, so I’d be remiss if I didn’t mention this aspect for building a Philippines itinerary. If it is the world-class scuba diving that you seek, then your itinerary is going to look a lot different.

This has a lot to do with the stipulations about flying after diving. So you have to be very thoughtful about how you layout your itinerary.

The best diving in the Philippines is found around Palawan and Cebu. This means you will want to plan your itinerary to maximize time under the water in these regions and utilize the ferry services that run to the various dive areas from the hubs of Coron and Cebu.

Overview of the Best Scuba Diving Locations:

best scuba diving in the Philippines map

  • Puerto Galera

Beginners or people that wish to get their PADI Open Water certification should look to places like Puerto Galera and Coron. Both places are also great options for getting your PADI Advanced Open Water certification.

Experienced divers will want to head to Coron to dive on WWII shipwrecks before heading to Cebu, where they can access world-famous dive sites in Malapascua, Dumaguete and Panglao, to name a few.

As you can see, the places mentioned vary a bit from those listed in the more standard itineraries above. Of course, if you’re scuba diving for fun, you’ll be able to find great diving almost anywhere in the country.

Putting it All Together

As I’ve said multiple times, there are hundreds of possible outcomes for building a Philippines itinerary that works for you. There is no right or wrong way to do it.

Where you go and what you do will have a lot to do with how much time you have and your budget. It is possible to experience the Philippines as a backpacker on a budget, in a high-end luxury way and everything in between.

Bilan de nos 6 semaines aux Philippines : itinéraire, budget et autres conneries

  • 💬 6 commentaires

voyage philippines routard

A la base, on devait partir un peu plus de 4 mois en Asie et finir par les Philippines. Mais on kiffe tellement cette vie ( faudrait être difficiles ), et surtout le temps passant a une vitesse complètement folle, qu’on a décide de rallonger notre voyage en y ajoutant le Vietnam et 2 semaines de plus aux Philippines ( les mecs ne se refusent rien, quoi ! ).

Vous vous dites que 6 semaines aux Philippines c’est peut-être beaucoup et que du coup pour une fois on voyage à un rythme « tranquille » ? Que nenni ! Il y a tellement à faire et à voir dans ce magnifique pays !

Itinéraire aux Philippines: 6 semaines au paradis

voyage philippines routard

Tout ça, plus les temps de trajet et le dernier jour d’attente à Manille, nous avons passé 41 jours aux Philippines. Mais on aurait pu rester encore des semaines !

Un budget mini pour un voyage inoubliable aux Philippines ( comment ça on en fait trop !? )

Pour 41 jours sur place, nous avons dépensé 1270€ par personne (frais bancaires inclus), soit un budget journalier de 31€ . On rentre donc dans les prévisions du très bon site internet  planificateur à contre sens qui indique 32€ par jour.

A ça il faut rajouter 53€ de visa, puisque nous sommes restés plus d’un mois (il s’agit en réalité d’un renouvellement d’exemption de visa : on en parle ici ). 

voyage philippines routard

Comme d’habitude il s’agit d’un budget « backpacker », c’est à dire que :

  • On dort dans les hôtels/guest houses/auberges pas chers (en moyenne 5,5€ par personne par jour)
  • On mange dans des petits «  restaurants » locaux (en moyenne 6€ par personne par jour en comprenant l’eau) sauf quand on craque ( on reste humain! ) en évitant de prendre des boissons sauf quand on craque ( une petite bière n’a jamais fait de mal! ).
  • On privilégie les ferries  aux vols internes, on prend des bus locaux et on utilise souvent nos petites gambettes pour se déplacer au lieu des tuks tuks.

En revanche on ne s’est pas privé sur les activités et notamment le island hopping, l’activité phare des Philippines : on en aura fait 10  en tout, auxquels s’ajoutent d’autres activités telles que la rando à El Nido ou la zipline à Bohol par exemple.

Autant dire que pour 6 semaines de folie , l’addition est d’une légèreté jouissive !

Nos coups de cœur des Philippines

  • Des paysages paradisiaques tout droit sortis d’une carte postale : on a encore du mal à croire tout ce qu’on a vu aux Philippines. Des îles incroyables, des nuances de bleus hallucinantes, des cocotiers absolument partout, des cascades de folie, des rizières !

voyage philippines routard

  • Nos rencontres : on a quasiment pas voyagé seuls pendant nos 6 semaines aux Philippines. On a rencontré des gens supers, avec qui on a bien rigolé et passé de supers moments ! Un grand merci à tous nos amis voyageurs rencontrés sur la route ( love love love ).

voyage philippines routard

  • Les island hoppings : on en serait presque devenu accro. Mais partir à la journée en Bangka, le bateau traditionnel philippin, et découvrir plusieurs sites exceptionnels à la journée et souvent mangé un bon petit repas sur une petite île canon, ça n’a pas de prix. En fait si ça a un prix, mais dérisoire : entre 20 et 25 € !

voyage philippines routard

  • Les philippins : on a tout de suite su qu’on allait adorer les Philippines juste parce que les locaux sont géniaux . Ils sont gentils, ultra chaleureux, ils veulent toujours vous aider et en plus la plupart parlent très bien anglais. La communication est donc ultra facile. Même quand ils ne parlent pas anglais, comme à Balabac par exemple, ils sont adorables.

voyage philippines routard

Ce que l’on a moins aimé aux Philippines

  • Etre bloqués pour le visa à Puerto Princesa . Mais cela peut être très rapide si vous n’arrivez pas un week-end suivi d’un jour férié ( #laloose ) ou juste que vous êtes plus doués que nous ( pas bien dur, donc ).
  • Les coqs : LE truc insupportable aux Philippines. On pensait avoir l’habitude après Bali et les autres pays d’Asie mais ici ils sont PARTOUT ! Et ils font du bruit tout le temps, mais surtout la nuit. Mais pas aux aurores, comme un gentil petit coq, non non à partir de 1h du matin . A fond, ils se répondent entre eux, et vu le nombre qu’ils sont, vous ne pouvez pas les louper. Boules quies indispensables, surtout si comme nous, vous dormez dans des petits hôtels pas chers, qui n’auront pas souvent de vraies fenêtres ( si si on vous assure ). Pour votre info, c’est parce qu’ils adorent les combats de coqs !
  • Le temps perdu dans les transports : l’autre point négatif des Philippines. C’est aussi pour ça que vous ne pouvez pas venir ici pour peu de temps. Pour changer d’île il faut compter quasiment une journée (gardez en tête que le soleil se couche à 18h). Par exemple pour faire Bohol – Balabac nous avons mis 2 jours. Mais vous ne serez pas déçus ! Prenez le juste en compte quand vous faites votre itinéraire.
  • Nos 2 hôtels pourris : notre pire hôtel des 6 mois en Asie c’est à Rio Tuba, la ville étape pour aller à Balabac . Le second c’est à Coron , alors qu’on avait justement décidé de payer un peu plus cher pour bien dormir ( la bonne blague ).

Anecdotes de notre aventure

  • Le karaoké : si vous aimez ça vous allez être servi. C’est tous les jours et partout ! Ils adorent ça. Chez eux, sur la plage, au restaurant… ils sont à fond ! Pourtant ils chantent tous très faux mais ils s’écoutent attentivement et avec bienveillance ( petite leçon de vie pour nous occidentaux ) et c’est marrant à voir.
  • Le rhum : ça aussi c’est un peu partout et tout le temps. Ils boivent pas mal les philippins, n’importe où ( sur la plage en plein soleil ) et n’importe quand ( à 9h30 au bord d’une cascade ). Faut dire qu’ici le rhum est moins cher que le coca . Si si ! A moins de 70 centimes la fiole de 375ml de rhum, et pas dégueu en plus, il n’y a plus trop d’excuses pour refuser l’apéro .
  • Le basket : c’est simple même dans le plus petit des villages, vous trouverez une église (dans les îles chrétiennes) et un terrain de basket. Parfois même sur les petites îles où il n’y a rien, il y a aura un panier !

Et la sécurité aux Philippines dans tout ça ?

Réputées pendant longtemps pas très safe, les Philippines ont pas mal changé. Bien sûr renseignez vous bien en amont sur vos destinations puisque certaines zones restent à éviter. 

On ne s’est pas senti en insécurité une seule fois, bien au contraire. Même à Balabac pourtant dans la zone déconseillée ! Avec des locaux adorables, c’est dur de ne pas se sentir bien.

voyage philippines routard

Il faut faire super attention à Manille , nous n’avons eu que de mauvais retours. On a choisi de passer la journée dans un centre commercial en attendant notre vol. Nous n’avons donc pas vu la ville mais apparemment c’est clairement à éviter.

Notre bilan des Philippines ( bilan du bilan, si c’est pas beau ça ! )

voyage philippines routard

En dehors de la Thaïlande, où notre bilan est plus mitigé, on a adoré tous les pays qu’on a fait. Des coups de cœur on en a eu un paquet. Mais les Philippines auront toujours une place particulière dans nos petits cœurs ( instant émotion ). Que ce soit les paysages à couper le souffle, une population absolument adorable, la facilité de communication, nos belles rencontres, tout a été grandiose. Pour un budget ultra abordable. Que demander de plus ? C’est sûr nous reviendrons vite !

Je viens de découvrir et lire longuement vos récits (pas tous, car il est 11h et je suis déjà en retard!!). Des voyageurs, il y en a plein(et j’aime croire que j’en fais aussi parti)…mais vous avez su me faire rêver un peu, par vos commentaires, votre récit, et votre humour…pensez à vous reconvertir dans l’écriture, donc(un bouquin pourquoi pas?)!!!!Merci infiniment pour ce retour d’expérience très précis et personnel!

Bonjour, Merci pour pour ton retour, ça nous fait extrêmement plaisir. On se fait souvent rire un peu tout seul (oui il nous en faut peu!) quand on écrit nos articles, alors c’est cool de voir qu’au fait rire au moins une autre personne 😉

Bonjour ! Merci pour votre super bilan ! Je souhaite partir environ 1 mois et J’hésite encore entre faire 2 semaines philippines – 2 semaines nord du Vietnam, ou bien me concentrer sur 1 des 2 pays. Auriez-vous une recommandation ? Je pars toute seule.

Hello Barbara, Merci pour ton message, ça nous fait toujours plaisir d’avoir vos retours ! 😉

Alors, nous notre gros coup de coeur c’est les Philippines. Mais attention là bas les temps de trajet sont vraiment à prendre en compte et changer d’île peut parfois te bouffer une journée. Donc on aurait plutôt tendance à te dire que ça va te faire beaucoup de temps perdu dans les trajets de faire 2 semaines 2 semaines dans 2 pays différents. Après tout dépend de tes envies, la période à laquelle tu pars, si tu peux/veux conduire un scooter…

Si tu veux tu peux nous écrire en DM sur Instagram, on pourra échanger plus en détails 🙂

bjr je ne connais pas les philippines si je pouvais avoir des conseils avec ma femme nous comptons partir 1 mois nous connaissons très bien la Thaïlande et on souhaite changer de pays . merci de votre aide

Bonjour, Merci pour votre message. Tout d’abord, voyager 1 mois c’est bien car aux Philippines il y a beaucoup d’iles ce qui veut dire pas mal de temps de trajet en bateau. Du coup, il ne faut pas avoir le mal de mer 😊 et cibler 3-4 lieux/iles maximum afin d’éviter de passer tout son temps dans les transports. Pour choisir ces lieux vous pouvez vous reporter à nos différents articles 😊 et si vous avez d’autres questions, n’hésitez pas à nous écrire. Dans tous les cas vous allez adorer les Philippines, c’est très beau et les gens sont gentils ! Bon voyage !

What are you looking for?

Our ultimate 4 week philippines itinerary {fresh for 2024}.

Bradley Williams

At the time of visiting the Philippines, I’ve now been to more than 60 countries all around the world; and I can still say this for sure…

The Philippines is by far the most beautiful place I have ever seen.

The water is so clear that you can see corals and fish below, even from a distance.

And from above, you can see how the water gets deeper and the shades of blue gradually evolve.

So, if you're looking for picture perfect oceans and the ideal spot to swim and snorkel, then The Philippines is the place to be.

And here is the ideal 4 week Philippines itinerary that you can copy for having an amazing time, just like we did!

Our 4 week Philippines Itinerary travel video

Interactive map of our one month Philippines itinerary

Travellerspoint

Our awesome 4 week Philippines itinerary

Stop 1: manila - 1 night.

The city of Manila, the Philippines

The majority of international flights will see you arrive in either Manila or Cebu.

For us, it just so happened that flights to Manila were cheapest, and it is well situated for your first proper stop (Coron).

Just as a heads up, Manila is a place you want to get out of as quickly as possible.

It is mostly just a large overpopulated urban city filled with noise and smoke.

I’m sure there are nice places further north, but for us, Manila was simply a place to spend the night before we caught an internal flight the next day.

That being said, there are some great spots to visit in the city if you don't mind the hustle and bustle. Some of the best attractions include Fort Santiago, the National Museum of Fine Arts, and Rizal Park.

This awesome Manila city tour only lasts for 4 hours, yet will show you the best of the city's historic and more modern areas. All your entrance fees are included and you'll have a licensed guide who will teach you all about Manila.

  • Where we stayed in Manila: OYO 105 Melbourne Suites

Stop 2: Coron - 4 nights

coron island hopping

As our first stop after Manila, it’s fair to say Coron is entirely different to Manila.

Sure, the main town area near the docks is a bit overcrowded and a little smelly, but this is because they can’t keep up with all of the tourists coming!

Seriously, there is a real shortage of decent, affordable accommodation in Coron, as tourists are coming quicker than they can build.

But nonetheless, you simply have to visit this place!

We truly fell in love with the crystal blue waters in the bay and the wonderful snorkelling spots located all around Coron Island.

To make the most of your visit, we'd suggesting heading out on a boat trip.

This fantastic boat tour is a top pick of ours, as it will take you to five popular destinations including Skeleton Wreck, Barracuda Lake, and Twin Lagoon. Not only is hotel pick-up and drop-off included, but you'll have lunch on the boat too.

However, by far the best reason to visit Coron is to stay at Paolyn Houseboats.

This is a small houseboat located out in a sheltered bay next to Coron Island, and it's literally paradise!

I won’t divulge too much as I could talk all day about how much I loved our time here.

Instead, you should read the full post I did on Paolyn Houseboats in Coron .

  • Where we stayed in Coron: Paolyn Houseboats

Stop 3: El Nido - 3 nights

el nido nacpan beach

After falling in love with Coron, El Nido had a lot to live up to!

In many ways, it’s a similar place to visit as the best thing to do here is to go out on guided tour packages around the various inlets and islands nearby.

But don’t worry, El Nido and Coron are each unique and both well worth a visit.

That being said, we did find that some of the most popular spots in El Nido are far less well preserved than in Coron and as a result the corals have died off and you have to swim further out to get the same snorkelling experiences.

What’s nice about El Nido’s more developed tourist industry is there’s a wider choice of hotels, hostels, cafes and restaurants in town.

Every night you can find a new bar or restaurant on the beachfront and watch the beautiful sunset.

To make the most of your time here, we'd recommend heading out on an island-hopping tour such as this one. With this private boat tour, your lunch is included and you'll visit some jaw-dropping locations including Bacuit Bay, the Big Lagoon, and Seven Commandos Beach.

Check out our El Nido Itinerary to help you plan our trip.

  • Where we stayed in El Nido: Mountainside Inn

Stop 4: Port Barton - 2 nights

port barton island hopping

Port Barton is the newest and most up and coming tourist spot in Palawan.

Well, put it this way, they only got 24 hour electricity at the end of 2018!

When we visited in early 2019, they still had no ATMs and there was a limited choice of accommodation (but there are tonnes being built all throughout town). They also have a few ATMs now too! 

What’s great about Port Barton is that you can find many scenic day trips and there aren't too many tourists crowding the beaches.

This will probably change in the coming years, but for now it is certainly worth a visit on anyone’s Philippines travel itinerary.

Here, once again the best thing to do is go on a guided day trip out to spots where you can snorkel and, best of all, swim with turtles!

This island hopping tour is a popular choice! You'll get to visit six different locations, all snorkelling gear is included, and you'll get to enjoy a traditional BBQ lunch too.

Also, the main beach is so scenic and it's the perfect place to have cheap drinks and enjoy the sunset.

  • Where we stayed in Port Barton: Eashanti’s Place

Stop 5: Puerto Princesa - 2 nights

Puerto Princesa

Next on our Philippines itinerary was Puerto Princesa!

The highlight of this spot has to be the Puerto Princesa Underground River and this full-day trip offers the best way to experience it. The tour lasts for 8-10 hours so offers great value for money, and it includes lunch, hotel pick-up and drop-off, a paddleboat cruise, and a pump boat cruise.

However, as a head’s up, I don’t really rate this stop very highly.

We decided to stop here for two nights before flying to Siargao, and in the end I was a little let down.

We hired a motorbike for two days and went far and wide discovering the best sights in the area; however, there wasn't too much to see.

So, instead of spending too much time here, I would recommend using that valuable time in the Philippines to discover more of the other wonderful locations.

  • Where we stayed in Puerto Princesa: Villa Skanderbeg Guest House
Read Also:   Check out our Palawan Itinerary to plan the perfect trip

Stop 6: Siargao - 5 nights

siargao island

If you’re stuck for time and want to experience a bit of everything in the Philippines, then I’d say Siargao is the place to go.

This wonderful island houses everything you could possibly want to find in the Philippines; including some of the world’s best surf locations, waterfalls, day trips to mangroves, cheap booze, places to party, incredible beaches, day trips to nearby islands and stunning reefs to snorkel over.

Looking back, it’s no surprise that Siargao is where we chose to spend the longest amount of time, as you really do need at least 4 full days to really soak up what’s on offer.

On that note, I strongly suggest you check out the 4 day Siargao itinerary post that Cazzy put together.

It honestly is the perfect way to squeeze in everything and make the most of your time there.

  • Where we stayed in Siargao: Nine Clouds Homestyle

Stop 7: Bohol - 4 nights

bohol chocolate mountains

Bohol is perhaps my second favorite island, only just coming up short of Siargao.

Once again, there is so much to see and do here, that it's perfectly suited to families, couples and backpackers alike.

I think we saw the most diverse array of travellers here and in the main tourist area in the south west, you will find plenty of hotels, resorts and hostels to choose from.

However, I would advise that you escape this tourist zone if you want to experience what Bohol truly has to offer.

The main tours that run from 6 am till 12 pm are now far too crowded and it’s really hard to enjoy any part of the beaches and sand bar that you visit.

Instead, as you head inland and towards the eastern coast you will uncover waterfalls, beaches and even cave pools that very few tourists go to.

Once again, I really do want to big up the post I put together for spending 3 days in Bohol as it’s the perfect way to squeeze everything in.

You'll also want to check out this full-day Bohol tour , which includes a visit to the famous Chocolate Hills and a Tarsier Conservation Area, as well as paddle boarding along the scenic Loboc River. It also includes all entrance fees so you don't have to worry about additional costs (apart from lunch and drinks).

  • Where we stayed in Bohol: Palm Rise Resort

Stop 8: Siquijor - 3 nights

siquijor waterfalls

Once again, if you are looking to visit one of The Philippines’ most up and coming destinations, then Siquijor is the place for you.

It’s been a hot spot for a number of years now but you can tell there are still far less hotels and resorts here compared to other islands.

In Siquijor, we spent 3 days discovering, just like elsewhere in the Philippines, hidden waterfalls, beaches, viewpoints and dive spots.

However, one spot still stands out to me as one of the highlights from our entire trip; and that is Cambugahay Falls.

In the last 3 years, Cazzy and I have been to A LOT of waterfalls all across southeast Asia.

However, for me, Cambugahay Falls are by far my favourite.

Because, they are so much fun!

Here, you find that the locals have built giant bungee swings into the falls where you can jump, swing dive and do tricks from, depending on how brave you feel.

I fell in love and ended up going twice.

  • Where we stayed in Siquijor: AMK Travelers Hub

Stop 9: Cebu - 4 nights

kawasan falls in cebu

The final island on our Philippines itinerary was Cebu.

Cebu is a relatively large island and you need a lot more than just 4 nights if you want to see it all.

As such, we decided to spend the little time we had left in the popular region of Badian.

It is here that you'll find Kawasan Falls; arguably Cebu’s best waterfalls and a firm contender as some of the best waterfalls anywhere in the Philippines.

Here, you can do guided trekking and waterfall jumping tours to these and a number of other waterfalls in the area.

This canyoneering and cliff jumping tour is a popular option! It takes place at Kawasan Falls and includes all entrance fees, safety gear, lunch, and hotel pick-up/drop-off.

Also, up the coast you have the chance to witness another spectacle I was keen to experience… the sardine run.

Just a dozen or so metres off the coast you will discover a giant hoard of hundreds of thousands of sardines.

You simply pay a local guide, grab your GoPro and a snorkel set and head out into the water to swim down and into them.

Don’t worry, they don’t touch you, but it does make for a cool experience and some great photos (just a shame we had a dodgy GoPro with us as our photos turned out terrible! </3).

Our last night was then spent in Cebu City, on the east coast of Cebu Island, as it is from here that we caught our flights back to the UK.

  • Where we stayed in Cebu: “TGH” The Guest House Badian

Total = 28 Nights = 1 month in The Philippines!

How do you get around the philippines.

Philippines is a rapidly developing backpacking destination , and it seems like transport systems are improving every year.

For example, when we were in Bohol, they had just recently opened a brand spanking new airport that will probably cause the number of tourists visiting to grow massively.

But for our visit, we had to get a ferry to a part of the island, further away from the main tourist area.

As such, just be aware that for each island, the ways of getting there should hopefully be getting better and better.

For now, your 3 primary modes of transport are...

getting around the phililpinnes

This is by far the quickest and easiest way of getting around the Philippines.

We took flights from:

  • Manila to Coron
  • Puerto Princesa (Palawan) to Siargao
  • Siargao to Cebu
  • Return flights to the UK (Outbound to Manila and return from Cebu City)

For us, the cheapest airline (usually) was Air Asia and we didn’t have any problems with them.

It’s worth noting that the cost of our flights around the Philippines was by far the biggest expense of our trip.

If you plan on moving quickly and visiting as many islands as possible, then you kind of have to shell out on flights, which will seem comparatively very expensive to how cheap everything else is in the Philippines.

To find the cheapest flights available between all islands in the Philippines, we used Skyscanner .

For many islands, you have no choice but to get a ferry to them as they have no public airports.

Ferry crossings were typically very cheap and were relatively comfortable (though this depends entirely on the weather on the day you sail).

For most ferry crossings, it's possible to pick up cheap tickets from a local ticket office a few days before you depart.

However, do be aware that in peak months boats can fill up quickly and you may not be able to get tickets.

As such, if you know your itinerary around the Philippines, then it could be worth booking tickets online a week or two in advance.

We used 12Go Asia for all of our online ferry bookings.

We had only one issue with them, which was in Coron where their system never mailed our booking to the ferry operator, and we very almost weren’t allowed to board.

3. Transfers

If you are going between stops within an island, then it’s possible to pick up some sort of transfer, either designed for locals or tourists.

For example, we used the tourist buses running between El Nido and Port Barton , and then Port Barton and Puerto Princesa.

They were each pretty cheap and the ride was comfy in a standard 12 seater minibus.

You can usually pick up tickets for these in the port town, but again try to book as far in advance as possible.

How about a 3 week Philippines itinerary?

philippines itinerary

I honestly really did love our 4 weeks spent discovering all of these amazing places in the Philippines!

But that being said, the whole point of travelling is to discover new places and along the way you will pick up on things you could have done better.

In this case, there are a couple of places I would recommend removing from your Philippines travel itinerary if you only have 3 weeks to explore.

In this case, those places are Puerto Princesca and Cebu.

Sure, we saw some awesome places in Cebu, in particular Kawasan Falls!

However, getting there is a bit more awkward and overall I just didn’t rate the places we visited as highly.

Of course, there are nice spots, but compared to the rest of the itinerary, they don’t stack up!

So, if you shorten this down to a 3 week itinerary, here’s a rough idea of what you’d have left…

  • Manila - 1 night (but if you can skip this, then you should!)
  • Coron -  3 nights
  • El Nido - 3 nights
  • Port Barton - 2 nights
  • Siargao - 4 nights
  • Bohol -  4 nights
  • Siquijor - 3 nights

You can check out our Philippines Travel Guide for some itinerary suggestions! 

Final thoughts on planning a 1 month Philippines itinerary of your own

When planning your own Philippines itinerary, I recommend first deciding what it is you want to see and do.

As you can tell, you will find incredible snorkelling spots on all islands, as well as the chance to do so much more, like:

  • Island hopping tour
  • Discover waterfalls

Our 1 month Philippines backpacking route gave us the chance to do all of these things and more, as you can tell from the individual location guides we wrote for each one.

However, if you are more inclined to do just a few activities, then feel free to cut out a few islands and spend longer uncovering each one to a greater depth.

I’d love to hear your thoughts on our route and to offer up any suggestions on what you might change.

Similarly, if you have any other questions, then just let me know in the comments below.
