How long are beach tours from Manila?

Most people spend 8-10 days exploring the beaches, though some tours stretch up to 16 days. The sweet spot is often around 8 days - like the Manila, Bohol and El Nido trip - which gives you enough time to really enjoy each spot without rushing. One traveler told us "the tour duration was perfect to see multiple beach destinations without feeling rushed."

Which beach spots do most Manila tours visit?

You'll get to explore El Nido's beaches next to towering limestone cliffs, relax on Alona Beach in Bohol, escape to quiet Port Barton, and swim in Coron's blue lagoons. Many travelers fall in love with El Nido - one person told us "El Nido was absolutely breathtaking with perfect beaches." You'll likely stay at places like the White Banana Beach Club in Port Barton or Spin Hostel right in El Nido town.

Where do you stay on Manila beach tours?

You'll sleep in a nice mix of places right by the water - from small beach resorts to cozy bungalows and friendly hostels. Popular spots include the White Banana Beach Club in Siargao, Spin Hostel in El Nido, and simple beachfront cabins in Port Barton. As one happy traveler said, "the beachfront accommodations were clean, comfortable and in perfect locations for enjoying the beaches."

What meals come with Manila beach tours?

Your tour includes breakfast each day, plus some lunches when you're out island hopping - often fresh seafood cooked right on the beach. For example, on the Philippines Island Hopping West tour, you get 7 breakfasts, 5 lunches and 2 dinners. Previous travelers loved the food, saying "the included beach lunches during island hopping were fantastic with fresh local seafood."

How much should I budget for a Manila beach tour?

Tours cost between $1,500 and $6,000, depending on how long you stay and how fancy you want to go. A 10-day Philippines West tour runs about $1,595 ($160 per day), while a more luxurious 14-day Best of Philippines tour costs $6,275 ($448 per day). This usually covers your rooms, flights within the Philippines, getting around, some meals, and guided activities.

What are the hotels like on Manila beach tours?

You'll stay in different types of places throughout your trip. In Manila, you might be at the Marriott Hotel, then move to beachside spots like Marina Village Resort in Moalboal or Sea Cocoon Hotel in El Nido. Some tours include stays at smaller hotels like Bay Area Coron. One traveler mentioned, "The accommodations were very good, especially the hotel in Coron which exceeded our expectations."

What sea life will I see on Manila beach tours?

Get ready to see amazing underwater life. You can swim near whale sharks in Oslob, watch thousands of sardines swirling in Moalboal, spot sea turtles in El Nido's lagoons, and float above colorful coral reefs in Coron. One excited traveler said, "Swimming with the whale sharks and snorkeling with thousands of sardines took my breath away!"

Beach Tours from Manila

The Philippines' limestone cliffs are something else, and Manila has beauty in abundance. Don’t miss Puerto Princesa Underground River, exploring Boracay's finest white sand beaches, trekking and jumping in Badian's canyoneering adventure, andexploring the Subterranean River National Park. Relax on pristine Palawan beaches, enjoy a traditional Filipino boodle fight, watch sunset at Las Cabanas beach, and explore Manila with a local guide. The Philippines deliver in spades.
