Ultimate Manila & Cebu - Philippines Island Hopping (Independent Tour)

Start & end in Manila 12 days Up to 6

About this trip

Twelve days moving through the Philippines at your own pace, from Manila down through Bohol, Moalboal, Dumaguete and Cebu, with no group and no fixed schedule beyond the route itself.

The days are built around water and landscape — snorkelling, paddling, hiking, canyoning — with side trips to Siquijor for cliff jumping and Kawasan Falls for canyoning through its turquoise pools. It suits people who want structure sorted for them but no one telling them when to get up.

Flights and transfers link the islands together, so you cover real distance without the logistics headache of planning it all yourself.

What you'll do

  • See the Chocolate Hills in Bohol
  • Snorkel with sea turtles off Cebu
  • Cliff jump in Siquijor
  • Canyon through the turquoise waters of Kawasan Falls
  • Island hop between Manila, Bohol, Moalboal, Dumaguete and Cebu
Good to know
  • Self-guided and private — you set the pace, not a group leader
  • Involves internal flights and transfers between islands, so some days are travel-heavy
  • Suits travellers who want an active, water-focused route without the planning
