Philippines (Cebu, Bohol, Panglao Island, Siquijor)

1 itinerary · 0 open departures · 0 missions

The Philippines is a Southeast Asian archipelago of over 7,600 islands, and the cluster of Cebu, Bohol, Panglao, and Siquijor sits at the heart of the Visayas region — one of the country's most visited and diverse areas. Cebu is the regional hub, known for its vibrant city life, historical Spanish colonial heritage, and world-class diving and whale shark encounters in Oslob and Moalboal. Bohol draws visitors with its iconic Chocolate Hills, slow-paced countryside, and tarsier sanctuaries, while neighbouring Panglao Island is famed for its powdery white-sand beaches and rich coral reefs popular with divers and snorkellers. Siquijor, once shrouded in mystical folklore, has emerged as a favourite for travellers seeking a quieter escape, with stunning waterfalls, clear waters, and a laid-back island atmosphere.

Essential Philippines: Self-Launched

Experience the best of the central Philippines independently — from colonial Cebu to the bizarre Chocolate Hills of Bohol, SUP yoga on the Loboc River, pristine Panglao beaches and the mystical island of Siquijor. This self-launched version follows the same route as Intrepid's Essential Philippines tour but replaces group-tour pricing with local ferries, public transport, self-bookable activities and budget hotels or guesthouses. All costs are approximate estimates per person and based on current backpacker/budget traveller rates.

Missions

Nobody's posted a Mission for Philippines (Cebu, Bohol, Panglao Island, Siquijor) yet — which, frankly, is an opportunity.

Wait, what's a Mission?It's not a scheduled trip with dates and a minimum group size like a Departure — it's a goal. Learn to dive, do a Muay Thai camp, live somewhere for a month and work on something, chase one very specific experience. Post it, and other people chasing the same thing find you.

Be the first to post one: "Learn a completely impractical skill from a local — fire spinning, competitive coconut opening, whatever — and become weirdly good at it."
