Philippines 10-Day Trips & Itineraries

Our trip was absolutely incredible from start to finish. Our personal driver in Manila was exceptionally friendly, professional, and helpful, making our time there stress-free and enjoyable.

We thoroughly enjoyed the private yacht experience in Boracay, it was one of the highlights of our trip.

Both Raffles Makati and Shangri-La Boracay exceeded our expectations, and the surrounding areas were beautiful and offered everything we were looking for.

A special thank you to Sarah for working closely with us and coordinating all the details. Everything was perfectly arranged, and we greatly appreciate all of your help in making this such a memorable experience.

From start to finish this has been an amazing experience. Sarah put together a trip that suited us down to the ground, which is not easy. We are 60+ love adventure and need a day off here and there and our Philippines experience was just that. Our guide Edmond on Bohol island was awesome, super friendly and very knowledgeable we really enjoyed our time together. The we had island hopping, fireflies and underground river in Puerto Princesa, my apologies I have forgotten the guides names. Then El Nido where Jason took us on speedboat private tour A and B which were both top shelf and we could adopt Jason, he's a beautiful soul. Then to top it all off the ultimate adventure in Coron with Jen, curly, the most handsome captain and the crew was a great way to finish. Angela was always on hand to assist if needed which was a great backup to have. The itinerary and communication was on point for everything. I could not be more happy with KimKim tours. I look forward to them organising our next trip. Cheers, Jeff and Chris.

Our trip was amazing but limited by time. The travel was excessive considering how much time we had. None of us like Cebu but loved the swimming with whale sharks and canyoneering. The Beach club hotel was nice but the beach was ugly and rocky. I wouldn’t stay there again. We had to do whale sharks on our own (your agency won’t book the one we did). Please tell future clients to be there at 7 AM. We arrived at 8 and had to wait 2.5 hours which was pretty miserable. I would highly recommend encouraging whale sharks in AM and canyoneering in pm. We also did turtles and sardines which I might skip. Puerto Princesss was very nice- the hotel was fantastic and incredibly reasonable. The beach was awesome. The hundred caves was fantastic- highly recommend. Underground river also very cool. Could have skipped mangroves. We also did a jungle tour which I would not recommend- no animals or birds seen at all. Encourage the guides to spend more time letting tourists see monkeys and lizard dragons- our favorite part and we were rushed through. El Nido was super cool and it would have been nice to have a. Couple nights in the town before going to Lagen resort. Lagen was extremely expensive but incredible. The lagoon tour was fantastic. Recommend guests to bring travel tissues- the toilets are frankly disgusting at a few places- no seats and you have to go on a hunt for toilet paper which is sometimes not available. Even though tons of places require cash only/ it was impossible to break 1000 bills- then it made tipping very hard. I would travel with my own snorkel mask in future- they only have one size and my head was too small.
Kimkim was excellent in their responsiveness (Ana) and the thorough itinerary. I was an idiot and didn’t realize the detailed advice and hadn’t read it beforehand. Big mistake. On the canyoneering everyone wore water shoes- not Tivas. Including the guides. Tell people to bring a go pro and waterproof floatable phone cases. I wished I had a GoPro.

Loved this hotels. I’m rating it a 4 because the room smelled horribly musty and there was zero water pressure in the shower. Beach was awesome and so were the masssges
