About this trip
Nine days across Manila, Puerto Princesa and El Nido, covering a fair spread of the Philippines without hanging about in any one place too long.
You start with an overnight stay with an Indigenous community outside Manila, cooking alongside your hosts, before heading south to Palawan for the Underground River and the islands around El Nido.
It's a guided group trip built around a steady run of standout stops rather than downtime, so expect most days to bring something new.
