Follow these steps to quickly create the perfect vacation package to the Philippines. With this guide, you will be able to build your personal itinerary, tailor made for your specific desires. Our website is designed to be as interactive as possible, as we aim to give you the flexibility that most travel agencies lack. This is what other agencies commonly refer to as a “VIP treatment” and price it accordingly, while here you’ll get it for free.
Step 1: Find the best vacation spots
Above all else, the Philippines is famous for its large variety of stunning beach destinations. If you check any poll of the best beaches worldwide, we can virtually guarantee the country will get a mention, and it frequently tops the list. That being said, the Philippines is not all about beaches. There is so much do to and see, and the best way to get the full scope of it is to go through our full list of Philippines destinations.
If you feel overwhelmed, don’t worry as we will help you figure out where in the Philippines to vacation. We cover all the popular islands and offer unique tours and attractions in each. So, let us take all the planning off your mind and help you create the best summer holiday possible.
Once you get a basic sense of what each place is about, you’ll be able to focus on the locations which interest you the most. If you already know which places you’d want to visit on your trip, have a look at our featured packages below. It might be that we already offer a package that meets your expectations. If you are more interested in a specific activity, browse down and you’ll find assorted theme-based packages

Mango- Guimaras
Step 2: Book the Best tours and hotels with our exclusive holiday deals
If you’re here then you already decided that you want a customized tour. You can contact us, add any locations you like to your inquiry, and we’ll do our best to create the best itinerary out of your requests. Alternatively, you can build your own personalized package by adding relevant items to your wishlist, and allow our experts to review your order afterwards.
We’ll let you know if we feel something is missing or can be improved, to make sure you enjoy the best deals and experience the most exciting day tours any location has to offer.
We believe that once you choose the destinations you’d like to visit, it’s better to let your travel expert find the best hotels and tours, we do allow handpicking of specific items from our catalogs. If you’re not that particular with your demands, it’s better to just write general requests in the description box of the inquiry form. You’ll then get a detailed proposal based on your interests, but it will still be possible to adjust any part of it until you are fully satisfied.
To choose specific tours or resorts, go through our tours catalog and hotel catalog, and start adding the items you want to your wishlist. When you finish you can continue to the inquiry form and all of the items you added to your wishlist before, will be automatically sent to us once you submit your inquiry.
Another way to go about it is selecting a package according to your budget. Trip costs for the whole vacation can vary quite a lot depending on the standards you set. Luckily, we cater to every type of client from backpacker to all inclusive – so you shouldn’t have any problem finding something that works for you.
Step 3: Stay flexible and keep an open mind
A vacation in the Philippines should be dynamic and flexible. The weather is very unpredictable, and its influence on domestic flights can cause delays and disrupt your plans. That’s why it’s important to not get fixated on a specific location and ignore the circumstances altogether. It might not be the right time to visit a certain island, or it may collide with the rest of your plans and itinerary.
We help you plan a trip that’s both feasible and fun, while incorporating contingency for unforeseen events. We’ll also help you as much as possible in changing your plans in the middle of your trip, although cancellation fees may apply. For instance, you might decide that you want another night in a specific destination, so we’ll do everything we can to help you with dealing with the hotels and altering your vacation plan.
Our team of experienced agents is well trained in handling any problems that might arise during your vacation and are always available to offer support. We will also keep you updated on the latest deals, local events and festivals. Use our guides to plan your holiday, or simply contact us now – either way, we got your back!
