Itinerary
Take a half-day private tour of Manila's most famous historical and cultural sites after breakfast at the hotel. Visit the Manila American Cemetery first, then make a stop at the nation's most important national monument, Rizal Park. Explore Fort Santiago, Manila Cathedral, San Agustin Church, Casa Manila, and Baluarte de San Diego as you proceed into the mediaeval walled city of Intramuros. Each of these structures reflects centuries of Spanish colonial history. A panoramic running drive through important contemporary areas, including the BGC neighbourhood, the Mall of Asia (MOA) complex, the CCP Grounds, the Intramuros neighbourhood, and the historic Neilsen Tower, is also included in the tour. After the tour, get back to the hotel and spend the rest of the day relaxing.
Check out and head to the airport for your domestic flight to Puerto Princesa after breakfast at the hotel (flight not included). You will be driven to your hotel for check-in after being picked up from the airport. You can unwind or explore at your own pace for the remainder of the day.
Explore the Puerto Princesa Underground River National Park, a UNESCO World Heritage Site and one of the New Wonders of Nature, on the Underground River Tour after breakfast at the hotel. Encircled by breathtaking rock formations and home to numerous endemic wildlife species, this incredible journey takes you along the longest navigable underground river in the world. Enjoy a delectable lunch following the tour before heading back to Puerto Princesa City's downtown.
Visit some of the most scenic locations in the bay, such as Luli Island, Cowrie Island, and Starfish Island, during a day of Honda Bay Island Hopping after breakfast at the hotel. Savour the breathtaking tropical environment while swimming, snorkelling, or just lounging on the smooth sands. Before heading back to your hotel, relax and enjoy a delectable picnic lunch on one of the islands.
