Magical 6 Days 5 Nights El Nido Holiday Package

The Clipper Hotel Makati 3

Welcome to Manila! Your tour begins with a 6 pm welcome meeting at your central hostel in the Makati City. When the formalities out of the way, head to a nearby restaurant for an included dinner with your fellow travelers. Let your local leader take the reins when it comes to ordering, then feast on a selection of regional dishes served family style. Once you/’ve lined your stomach, venture out to popular nightlife district Poblacion. Once regarded as a fairly seedy area, Poblacion has undergone a makeover in recent years and emerged as a hub for bars, art and eclectic dining.

San Juan Treasure Resort 3

Rise and shine for a very early check out a private transfer to the bus terminal. Board a local bus to San Juan, a suburb in coastal La Union (approximately 6 /– 7 hours). A book or a few podcasts will help the time pass quicker, as will the promise of sinking your feet into the sand and kicking back on the beach once you get there. Arrive in the afternoon and take some free time to soak up the beach side vibes. Later, you can choose to grab a dinner with the gang at one of your leader/’s favorite local spots or make your own plans.

San Juan Treasure Resort 3

There/’s nothing scheduled until dinner, so you can decide whether you/’d like to embrace the laid-back life on the beach or head out on an optional adventure to nearby Luna. This optional morning excursion includes a visit to the Miraculous Shrine of Our Lady of Namacpacan, a 19th-century icon of the Virgin Mary which several local miracles have been attributed to. You/’ll also visit a centuries-old Spanish watchtower, enjoy a tasting of bibingka and tupig (local rice cakes) and finish with a stroll through an open-air art gallery on the beach. If you decide to partake in this optional excursion, return to San Juan in the afternoon with plenty of time to relax on the beach before sundown. Enjoy a barbecue on the beachfront with your fellow travelers for dinner tonight.

El Nido Royal Palm Inn 3

Check out of your accommodation and catch a direct flight to El Nido (AKA paradise), which should take under 2 hours. Enjoy a day that/’s as clear as the waters in El Nido/’s reefs to do whatever the heck you/’d like. An island-hopping adventure is included tomorrow, so today you might just want to relax. Maybe walk or hire a bike and ride to Las Cabanas beach. Keep in mind it will take over an hour if you want to go on foot, so pack water and shield yourself from the sun! For dinner it/’s hard to go wrong with seafood, so maybe ask your leader for a restaurant recommendation.

El Nido Royal Palm Inn 3

This morning head out on a full day of snorkeling and island hopping. Witness jagged limestone islands, rocky coves, virgin rain forest and white sandy beaches. The snorkeling is just as spectacular, revealing beautiful coral and many different species of fish. After an included lunch, venture to the area/’s spectacularly clear lagoons. Your evening is then free to do as you wish.

Your tour comes to an end this morning, but that doesn/’t mean your adventure has to. El Nido is captivating, and plenty of travelers decide to extend their time here.
