A group enjoying their welcome dinner on Khao San Road in Bangkok Thailand

Hop off the plane at MNL, That's Manila airport code (In case you didn't know) and take advantage of airport pick up. If you fancy meeting us directly at the hotel, that's cool too. Check in, relax, put your feet up and wind down before meeting up with your new TruFam and travel ninja. (That's what we call our tour guides, not someone who will continuously karate chop your dinner up for you every single night of your trip... I mean they might if you ask nicely) We grab some dinner before heading for a night on the town of Makati! One of Manila's liveliest cities, we'll show you to some of the best bars. Although we can't promise we won't bring some outrageous dad dancing, we can promise you'll have a sick time!

Welcome to Palawan, formerly known as the gateway to heaven. Maybe we made that part up but if you're looking for paradise then look no further, my friend! We start the day by jumping aboard a short flight to Puerto Princesa before getting picked up in our very own private minivans. Look up the word "unspoilt" in the dictionary, and you'll see a picture of Port Barton as the definition. The small, idyllic, fishing town is where we spend the next few days off the tour. We stop to have lunch with a local family, try out some delicious Filipino grub and chat about the workings of life in paradise. Check in to our beachfront hotel, yeah we're fancy. Watch the sun go down bev in hand, before venturing out to grab dinner and maybe even a sex on the beach! We mean the drink obviously…

If you think you've seen beauty, wait till you see Palawan's rainbow-coloured reefs, beautiful majestic turtles and the crystal clear colour of the waves. Great Barrier what? Head to golden sand beaches and reenact your best Baywatch scene whilst jogging out the water in slow motion. You've built up an appetite after a 'Shell of a good time' did you see what we did there? Because we saw turtles? No? Ok. We have lunch in a small fishing village. Have a few hours free time to chill, whether you prefer attempting to form a human pyramid on the beach with your TruFam or top up those tan lines whilst sunbathing in ya speedo. The time is yours to spend however you like! Sailing in the Philippines is 10 outta 10! We cruise back to Port Barton where we freshen up and check out the best bars and restaurants in town!

Think, crystal clear blue lagoons, kayaking with your new BFF in what can only be described as paradise. It's been scientifically PROVEN that jumping in the sea can cure pretty much any hangover. I mean maybe not scientifically but it's defo a long-living Tru theory we stand by. Grab your snorkel and dive under to see the magic of the Philippine Sea or re-energise sunbathing on the golden sands. We stop for a local style lunch before heading back to the hotel around sunset.

It's time to explore some shipwrecks before taking a guided tour of Daracotan Island, home to 88 full-time residents (including a pig or two). Hear fascinating tales of their heritage, meet a local family and learn how tourism positively impacts their lives today. In the evening we take part in a traditional local cooking demonstration where you'll learn how to eat Filipino style! We dine together, devouring the local delicacies we prepared shortly before and make a mental note to add "world renowned chef" to the CV when we get back home.

We check into the hotel for our last 3 nights so unpack your last pair of clean socks, that shirt that's now far too creased that you've been saving to wear and settle in. We arrive late afternoon, so let’s explore! Sunsets in Boracay are next level. We’re talking an ombre of golden oranges blending into lilac’s and deep purples. Yep, I-N-S-A-N-E. So we’ll watch the sun go down over a few beers on the beach or join a sunset cruise for cocktails. Afterwards, we see where the night takes us. Psssttt..

In the evening we head out for a farewell dinner over sunset cocktails. Our last Hurrah, the final act of the show. One last performance and we're not ending without a standing ovation!

Our 3-star hotel in Moalboal is super close to Panagsama Beach, the most famous beach in Moalboal to see the Sardine Run and turtles too! BUT the best thing about this hotel is that it has its very own private beach too so if you fancy a bit more of a secluded chill, we gotcha!

Our hotel has a restaurant, bar and a garden so you've got everything you need at your fingertips. It also has an outdoor swimming pool and free WiFi!

17-day Island Hopping with VJ!
I’ve done the 17-day Island Hopping tour in the Philippines with VJ as our guide. We had such an amazing time on this tour and saw the most beautiful places. The route is so nice, you get so see so much of this beautiful country. We did lots of island hopping, snorkelling and wandering around in different places. VJ was the best tour guide we could have wished for. Would recommend this tour to anyone!

17 Phillipines Day Island Hopping with VJ!
Wow what a tour, definitely recommend for anyone who loves sun, sea, adventure and beach life! And what can I say about the amazing VJ, he has been a superstar! So much more than our guide he's also been our mum, dad, nurse, manager and now new best friend. The kindest and friendliest human he's filled with laughs and enthusiasm. It's apparent from the relationships he's built not just with our tour groups but also all of the locals in all of the locations, this man knows everything and everyone. If I could pack him in my suitcase and take him home I would.

17 day Island Hopping with Vj
I love Tru Travel trips and always have such amazing experiences with all their tour guide but VJ has been absolutely incredible. From first meeting him and even just messaging prior to arrive he made everything so easy and stress free. He is such a lovely friendly bubbly person who is a ray of sunshine always keep the positive vibes strong within the group! This man is a huge credit to Tru Travels and they are so lucky to have him as a tour guide. I’m going to miss him so much, I’m not sure any of us know how to function without him now. Nothing was ever too much he was super helpful and always on hand to answer questions. He is such an amazing human being and I wish him nothing but the best and can wait to see him on his travels!

17 day island hopper Philippines with Jay
What an incredible tour, I don’t know why people miss out the Philippines. From the activities to the food to the amazing tour guide! Jay was very helpful from day one, even before the tour started he suggested places to go and very kindly helped me with my SIM card for many hours. With a lovely smile the entire time. You could honestly ask him for anything and he’d be happy to help. Cayoneering and Daracoton were clear highlights of the tour.

Incredible Island Hopping Experience In The Philippines
I visited the Philippines with no expectations and it completely blew me away with its kind hearted people, delicious cuisine and spectacular natural beauty. I still dream about Daracotan Island and its warm turquoise water. The Philippines is a slice of heaven that still feels like a hidden gem. From the bustling and chaotic capital called Manila, to the serene white sand beaches and idyllic islands of el nido, coron and Boracay. A group tours overall enjoyment is also impacted by the people you’re travelling with and your tour leader but lucky for me I had the most amazing bunch of people to share experiences and memories with. Our travel ninja Orty is an absolute star and honestly one of (if not the best) tour leader I’ve had on any tour and this is coming with someone who has done a lot of group travel. His infectious, energetic and positive attitude made our experience in the Philippines so much more enjoyable. Orty is ready to answer any questions. He is extremely well organised with making sure everything runs smoothly and is so much fun to be around. We couldn’t have asked for a better tour leader. I love the Philippines and would love to return someday 🫶🏽❤️❤️❤️
