Absolute Asia/China/Skyline to Seascape: Hong Kong & Philippine Luxury Tour

Overview

Set out on a 15-day journey that marries cosmopolitan flair, mountain vistas, and pristine island idylls. Begin with three leisurely days in Hong Kong – wandering neon-lit streets, sampling dim sum, and marveling at the Dragon Bridge – like skyline views. Then fly south to the Philippines’ highlands: cool Tagaytay’s Taal Volcano rim, the exhilarating rapids and lush gorges of Pagsanjan Falls, and a trek across hardened lava fields. Mid-trip, unwind at Amanpulo’s powder-white beaches and vibrant coral gardens, punctuated by spa treatments, diving adventures, and unforgettable private dining. Finally, return to Manila for nights at the elegant Makati Shangri-La, a guided stroll through Intramuros’ centuries-old walls, and a poignant tour of Corregidor Island’s wartime ruins. This carefully paced itinerary blends cultural discovery, thrilling outdoor excursions, and island relaxation into one seamless Southeast Asian escape.
