Eight days of island life
Aqua water, coral reefs, turtles and a week you'll talk about for years. We start in Cebu, share a lechon lunch with locals and swim through the Sardine Run in Moalboal. Then it's canyoneering to Kawasan Falls, before Boracay's white sand, paraw sailing at sunset and a boat party to finish. Head east. You won't be disappointed.

Itinerary
1
Hello, Cebu
Welcome to the Philippines. Yes, it's hot. Check in, cool off, then meet your group and your Local Legend, the person you'll soon wonder how you ever travelled without. This evening we head out for dinner together and get to know each other over a piña colada, or five.
2
Lechon Lunch And Simala Church
Today we travel to the seaside town of Moalboal, said mole-bowl. On the way we share a lechon-style lunch with locals, then visit Simala Church, a spectacular building said to be a place of miracles. In Moalboal we take a walking tour, then the afternoon is yours for an iced coffee, a Filipino massage or the local town.
3
Turtles And The Sardine Run
After breakfast, grab your snorkel. We head to one of the Philippines' best snorkelling spots, all colourful coral and marine life. Glide alongside the island's green turtles, then dive into the Sardine Run, where huge shoals move together beneath you. This evening we explore Moalboal's nightlife. Big fish, little fish, cardboard box, anyone?
4
Canyoneering To Kawasan Falls
An early start after breakfast, because we're canyoneering. Jump, climb, swim and rock-hop through aqua-blue water and waterfalls at your own pace, whether you're chasing thrills or happily floating downstream. We finish at the turquoise pools of Kawasan Falls. Once we're splashed out we head for a late lunch, then a lazy evening to recharge before Boracay.
5
Fly To Boracay
After breakfast, we head back to Cebu Airport for a short one-hour flight to Caticlan, then a ferry over to Boracay and its famous white sand. We check into our resort, home for the last three nights, in the early afternoon. We'll watch the sun go down, share a group dinner, then hit Boracay's nightlife if you're up for it.
6
Beach Day And Paraw Sailing
Wake up when you like. After breakfast, the morning and afternoon are free: hit the beach with your crew, soak up the sun or browse the local shops and cafés. Late afternoon we go paraw sailing on a traditional Boracay boat with two outriggers and two sails, gliding to the best spots as the sky turns gold, magenta and lilac.
7
Island Hopping Boat Party
Our last full day together, so it's a boat party. After breakfast we head out island hopping, snorkelling in crystal-clear water and lazing on our floaties with lunch on board. Then we squeeze in the last crucial tanning time before dressing up for our farewell dinner. Pop the bubbles, order dessert and toast the week.
8
Chilled Checkout
It's departure day and time to say goodbye. Your Local Legend can help with onward travel, wherever you're heading next. A week ago you were strangers. Now you're friends for life. So it's not goodbye. In the words of Arnie: we'll be back. Hasta la vista, baby.

I’ve just returned from an incredible trip to the Philippines with TruTravels, and couldn’t recommend them more!
I’ve just returned from an incredible trip to the Philippines with TruTravels, and couldn’t recommend them more! Everything was well organised for us so it took the stress out of travelling. Our tour guide, VJ was amazing! He was constantly looking out for us, making sure we were safe, happy, and having the best possible time. You couldn’t top him, miss you VJ!
Going away with a group of like minded people feels like travelling with friends from day one! I’ve made memories to last a lifetime and am looking forward to booking my next trip with Tru!
