2 Weeks in the Philippines - 5 Unique Itinerary Ideas

With two weeks in the Philippines, you can delve into the country's culture, nature, and islands on a highlights tour featuring Dumaguete, Bohol Island, and Cebu City, or opt for an active adventure that gets you out hiking among terraced rice fields, dramatic valleys, and to serene waterfalls. You can also pack in stays in six different destinations on a fast-paced tour. Or, if it's beach time you're after, set your sights on an island paradise trip featuring Bohol, Palawan, and Coron.

Spend two weeks hopping between Philippine islands like Palawan

Highlights include meeting the world's smallest primates on Bohol, snorkeling over the World War II shipwrecks off El Nido, and cruising around the hidden lagoons and islets of the Calamian archipelago.

Sample the white-sand beaches and vibrant nightlife of the Philippines

Round out the trip with visits to Cebu and Coron to trek to waterfalls, and discover World War II shipwrecks.

Relax on the white-sand beaches in Boracay

Continue to the islands of Cebu and Coron to hike to waterfalls and snorkel with shipwrecks, then end with a quick shopping tour back in Manila for the perfect souvenirs.

Hi Noah,

Thank you so much for your beautiful review.

It was an absolute pleasure helping you and your family plan this trip, and I’m so happy to hear everything came together so well. I’m especially glad the Manila driver made that part of the trip feel smooth and stress-free, and that the private yacht in Boracay was such a highlight.

Raffles Makati and Shangri-La Boracay are both such special properties, so it’s wonderful to hear they exceeded your expectations and gave you the experience you were hoping for.

Thank you again for trusting us with your Philippines holiday. We’re so grateful for your kind words and would love to help you with another trip in the future.

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.

Hi Jeff and Chris,

Thank you so much for this wonderful review.

It was an absolute pleasure planning your Philippines adventure, and I’m so happy to hear the trip struck the right balance for you — plenty of adventure, but with enough breathing room along the way.

I’m especially glad your local guides and crew made such a strong impression. Edmond in Bohol, Jason in El Nido, Jen, Curly, your Coron captain and the crew all sound like they helped bring the trip to life in such a special way. I’ll be sure to pass on your kind words where I can, as feedback like this means a lot to our local partners too.

It’s also lovely to hear that Angela’s support gave you that extra peace of mind while travelling, and that the itinerary and communication all ran smoothly.

Thank you again for trusting us with your Philippines trip. We’d absolutely love to help plan your next adventure when the time comes.

Warm regards,

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.
