Things to Do in the Philippines
If you’re ready to go beyond the country’s famous beaches, you’ll find a lush interior filled with culture, history and adventure. Here are top Things to Do in the Philippines:
Intramuros historic city tour: Wander the cobbled streets of Manila’s walled quarter, visiting Fort Santiago, San Agustín Church and colonial-era plazas.
Banaue rice-terrace trek: Hike through the Ifugao terraces-often called the “Eighth Wonder of the World” and meet local farmers who’ve shaped these mountainsides for centuries.
Palawan island-hopping: Cruise between hidden lagoons, dramatic limestone cliffs and vibrant coral reefs in El Nido or Coron’s emerald waters.
Boracay beach retreat: Relax on powder-white sands, swim in clear turquoise seas and try parasailing or paddle-boarding at sunset.
Bohol wildlife & Chocolate Hills expedition: Spot tiny tarsiers in the forest canopy, then marvel at the 1,268 grassy mounds that make up the iconic Chocolate Hills.
Each of these Things to Do in the Philippines can be blended into a tailor-made journey that reflects your interests and pace.
