One of our favorite islands in the Philippines. Out of the 7,641 islands that comprise the Philippine archipelago, the beautiful island of Boracay has been one of the top tourist destinations. It has been named one of the World’s Greatest Places of 2022, according to the prestigious yearly list of international magazine TIME. Here, you'll find white sand beaches and crystal blue waters. Whether you just want to relax and take a dip in the beautiful waters, or go on the many excursions the island offers. We went island hopping and jetskiing the last time we were here!
Ready to deep dive? Palawan, yet another one of our favorite islands. Known as the last frontier of the Philippines, this biodiversity hotspot with its coral reefs, most especially the Tubbataha reefs located in the middle of Sulu Sea, is the ultimate diver's paradise. In Coron, you'll find breathtaking tourist spots like Kayangan Lake and the very secluded Blue Lagoon amongst many others. You may enjoy a whole day of lagoon hopping and snorkeling and when you're ready to wind down, take a dip in the Maquinit Hot Springs or watch the sunset on top of Mt. Tapyas.
