Philippines East 10 Day Adventure Tour

Welcome to Cebu! Arrive at any time and you will be met at the airport. After you have settled into your accommodation, take the day to explore Cebu City or rest and refresh before joining the rest of the group in the evening for a delicious welcome meal at one of our favourite spots!

Moalboal Bound! Today we will take a scenic drive through Cebu’s countryside as we make our way to Moalboal. We will make our first stop at the beautiful Simala Shrine along the way to get our first taste of Filipino culture. Here we will spend time exploring the stunning architecture and religious significance of the Simala Shrine before stopping for lunch at a nearby restaurant. Once we arrive in Moalboal we will check into our beachfront accommodation before grabbing our snorkels to head to the famous natural phenomenon – the Sardine Run. Get ready to snorkel amongst thousands of sardines, and if we’re lucky we will even spot a turtle or two!

Today we have an early start as we head to Osmena Peak to catch the sunrise. It’ll be a short hike to the top where we can settle in and wait for the sunrise and experience the unique jagged hills and surrounding landscape. After the sun has risen, we will make our way to Cambais Falls where we will meet a local family that will prepare our breakfast picnic right by the waterfall. Spend the next few hours here swimming and enjoying this tropical multi-layered waterfall before heading back to Moalboal. The rest of the day is free for you to relax, explore or seek an adrenaline rush by opting to do canyoneering.

After breakfast, we will begin our journey to Bohol. Taking the scenic route back to Cebu City, we will then embark on our ferry ride to Bohol where you’ll have the opportunity to relax and take in the views of the sea. In the afternoon we will reach our accommodation where you can unwind by the pool or opt to head for a cocktail at Alona Beach which is known for its stunning sunsets.

Get ready to embark on our journey across Bohol’s breathtaking countryside. Our first stop is at the iconic Chocolate Hills where we can enjoy panoramic views of the area. We then continue our journey through the Mahogany Man-made Forest, a serene and picturesque road lined with towering mahogany trees. Soon after, we will reach the Tarsier Sanctuary, where you will be able to observe these tiny primates in their natural habitat. Enjoy lunch at an open-air restaurant overlooking the Loboc River. After lunch, get ready to make a splash and connect with nature as we spend an hour stand up paddle boarding or kayaking down the Loboc river. Here you’ll be surrounded by lush greenery, tropical vegetation and riverbanks rich with coconut palms. We finish the day with a cooking class where we learn how to make some delicious traditional Filipino desserts.

Today, we travel to a nearby school to spend some time interacting with the local students. We have the unique opportunity to engage in conversations as we learn about their daily activities and education while being toured around their classrooms and sharing schoolwork. In the afternoon, get ready for your sunset tour around some of the most spectacular tropical waters. Stopping off to snorkel amongst the coral reefs and marine life, Bohol is known for its vibrant underwater world. In the late afternoon we’ll arrive at Virgin Island, a magical white sandbar in time for sunset where you can enjoy a fresh coconut whilst watching the sun dip below the horizon. This evening we will enjoy a traditional Filipino ‘boodle fight’ for dinner, a communal meal with various Filipino dishes served on banana leaves. Have a few cocktails and enjoy one of those ‘life is good’ moments with your One Life family.

Today we are heading to Boracay, famed for its white powder sand, crystal blue waters, and some amazing nightlife. We’ll take our flight over to Caticlan Airport and after arrival a short 10 minute ferry to our accommodation where we will spend the next 3 nights. After arrival we’ll show you around the best local spots in the area before making our way to the iconic White Beach to finish up the day

After breakfast we will take the short ferry over to the mainland island of Malay where we visit the Motag Living Museum. This is a One Life exclusive and a one of a kind cultural experience that showcases the traditional lifestyles of the locals in Caticlan. Dive deep into what it means to be Filipino and interact with the locals who are proud to show you the real side of rural Filipino life. We will head for a local lunch and return to Boracay in the afternoon. Spend the rest of the day on the amazing White Beach, grab an optional massage, or get a kayak and explore the clear waters.

Boracay has so many more beaches than the most famous one, so we will spend this morning exploring some of the lesser known areas of the island. Think deserted beaches, tiny islands, villages, and more idyllic tropical scenery. We’ll meet up for lunch and go on a cruise where we’ll snorkel and finally enjoy sunset drinks together. We’ll head back to Boracay and enjoy the final evening together with dinner and drinks.

Sady it’s time to say goodbye to this beautiful part of an amazing country, and hopefully see you another time, to your new travel buddies. After breakfast, the day is yours. Choose to stay on in Boracay, or maybe see more of the Philippines by joining one of our other tour options.
