Scenic Serenity and Thrill-Seeking in the Philippines

The allure of the Philippines lies in its array of natural wonders that promise both tranquillity and thrill. Picture yourself riding the waves along Siargao, known globally as a surfers' haven. Here, the turquoise curls of Cloud 9 invite surfers of all levels, transforming every ride into an exhilarating escapade. If waves aren't your turf, the Sierra Madre Mountain Range beckons with its dense forests and rugged trails, perfect for hiking enthusiasts eager for Philippines adventure travel.

Dive into the Abyss: The Visayas and Palawan

Beneath the vibrant surface, the Philippines reveals an underwater treasure trove. The Visayas region, home to Apo Island, offers pristine diving spots. Swim alongside majestic sea turtles and marvel at the reef's kaleidoscope of colours. Palawan's Coron Bay, with its mystic shipwrecks and limestone cliffs emerging from emerald waters, provides a surreal scuba diving experience. This destination asserts the Philippines’ status as a top contender in adventure vacations worldwide.

Cultural Encounters: A Tapestry of Traditions

Complementing the natural beauty is the Philippines' rich cultural tapestry. In Cebu, join the locals as they celebrate the Sinulog Festival in a fervent display of dance and faith, paying homage to the Holy Child. Meanwhile, the Banaue Rice Terraces, often dubbed the "Eighth Wonder of the World," invite you to explore a living testament to the ingenuity and resilience of Filipino ancestors. Such cultural gems transform Philippines vacations from mere relaxation to an exploration of heritage and human spirit.

A Culinary Journey: Flavours that Tell a Story

No exploration is complete without indulging in local cuisine. The Philippines serves a feast for the senses, with each dish narrating a chapter of its history. Sample adobo, a savory concoction of marinated meat, or the sweet and unique halo-halo, a dessert layered with vibrant ingredients like ube and jackfruit. These culinary experiences enrich your journey, making every meal a cultural discovery.

Practical Tips for the Adventurous Traveller

Planning your Philippines adventure travel involves more than packing for tropical weather. Consider these tips to enhance your journey:

  • Travel Smart: Inter-island flights and ferries are common means of transportation. Opt for domestic airlines like Cebu Pacific or Philippine Airlines for efficiency and convenience.
  • Weather Watch: The dry season, from November to April, is ideal for outdoor activities, ensuring sunny skies and calm seas.
  • Local Etiquette: Embrace the warmth of Filipino hospitality. A simple "po" or "opo" when conversing expresses respect. Engage with local customs for a deeper connection with the communities you encounter.

The Philippines beckons with an irresistible combination of natural beauty, cultural richness, and thrilling activities, making it a prime destination for adventure seekers. Whether navigating the thrilling waters of Siargao, trekking through ancient rice terraces, or diving into the depths of Visayan seas, your journey promises unforgettable memories and new stories at every turn. So pack your bags, and let the vibrant islands of the Philippines inspire your next great adventure.

Everything was expertly planned, from the drivers to the hotels to the tours to the flights. We particularly enjoyed Hobart and the animal sanctuary, Adelaide and the trip to Kangaroo Island, Melbourne and the evening tour with dinner and drinks, and Sydney with the private boat cruise of the Harbour. We will definitely use Goway again.SARA Wiebe

There were 4 travelers on this trip. All of us were in our late 70's. We started planning this trip 6 months prior to our travel date and had a lot of questions regarding this trip. Our Goway Travel Specialist, Karen Larrota, always answered our questions in a timely and complete manner. We traveled to Quito, Ecuador, the Galapagos, The Sacred Valley in Peru, Machu Picchu, and Cusco in Peru. Not only were the destinations and accommodations excellent, but every tour guide and driver were beyond excellent. The entire trip went smoothly every step of the way, which was amazing given the fact that there were numerous flights and hotels included in our package. We found out that the tour company that Goway used, Condor Travel, checked on us with our guide to make sure we were doing OK which we thought was very nice but also amusing as we are fairly fit older adults. Would also like to mention that we did a cruise thru the Galapagos on the Galapagos Legend which was arranged thru Go Galapagos - Kleintouurs. This portion of our tour was also excellent as were the wildlife guides and staff. We continue to discuss how wonderful this trip was with our family and friends and how wonderful this experience was. Would definately use Goway for our travel needs in the future.Dianne

After spending some time with our agent, we felt that she understood exactly what we had in mind as far as the level of service, etc, we were hoping for. The trip exceeded our expectations. Lori kept us busy(not too busy!) and we had many, many very exciting experiences. Bruce Belshaw

Aylin is an exceptionally proficient advisor. Coordinating my clients simultaneously often feels like herding cats, but she has remained patient and accommodating through every modification and delay. Goway continues to be my go-to for complex itineraries, and they never disappoint.Nick Cron, ACC

My daughter and I had a wonderful 2 weeks in New Zealand! The country is so beautiful and the people so friendly. Our destination specialist did a great job with planning and organizing the itinerary, choosing our hotels, and organizing transportation. The hotels were absolutely beautiful and we had great views. We felt right at home and found all of the staff to be friendly and accommodating. There were no issues with our itinerary and our excursions we were always on the list. Our transportation was always ready and waiting for us. We want to thank Goway Travel for their hard work and patience with us in planning this trip. Any changes that needed to be made were communicated timely. We also want to thank you for the beautiful weather during the entire 2 weeks it was perfect every day 😀. It was a memorable trip that we will never forget and we will think of Goway when we plan our next adventure. Because it was not just a vacation; it was an adventure!Connie Wenhardt

Brigitta Fuller is Amazing! She was my group coordinator. She understood the assignment and all the nuances I was trying to achieve. The itinerary she curated was fantastic. If you want someone who truly cares about her group and what they are trying to achieve. I will always reach out to Brigitta first for Europe groups. Kathryn Walker

My clients had a wonderful time on their trip to Easter Island. They were very pleased with the Hare Nua Hotel Boutique and especially noted the warmth and hospitality of the hotel staff as well as their excellent breakfasts. Jaime Vargas-Hendandez was an exceptionally gracious and knowledgeable agent, who went out of his way to ensure that my clients had the best possible experience. I will definitely contact him for future bookings and will recommend him to my colleagues.Alethea Kardas
