Philippines tour experience
✈️ Arrival in Manila – Colonial City Vibe
Our Filipino adventure begins in Manila, the lively capital where tradition meets modernity. We get to know the legendary Jeepneys, colorful and unique public vehicles that are a symbol of the Philippines. We visit the historic Intramuros district, where we’re enchanted by Spanish colonial architecture and the story of Filipino national hero Jose Rizal. We end the day with a visit to the Shrine of the Black Nazarene and a stroll through a local market – the scents, flavors, and colors of Filipino street food overwhelm the senses.
🗿 Sagada – Hanging Coffins and Mysterious Caves
We take an overnight bus north on Luzon Island to mystical Sagada, home of the famous hanging coffins, an ancient tradition of the mountain tribes. Led by a local guide, we venture into a cave system filled with narrow passages, eerie silence, and a true dose of adrenaline. The afternoon is for relaxing – we explore the town, buy local souvenirs, or simply enjoy a beer with a view.
🌾 Banaue – Trekking Through Ancient Rice Terraces
Our journey continues to Banaue, the heart of Filipino tradition and home to the UNESCO-protected rice terraces. On a multi-day, but easy trek, we lose ourselves in nature – walking ancient paths, sleeping with locals, marveling at waterfalls, vibrant views, and timeless serenity. A breathtaking panorama awaits us at the amphitheater-shaped terraces – a sight that stays with us forever.
🏝️ Boracay – White Sand, Nightlife, and Halloween
After returning to Manila, we fly to Boracay Island, known for its paradise beaches and vibrant vibe. We settle near the famous White Beach, where delicious food, sunset cocktails, and lively entertainment await. The next day is all about relaxation – beach, massage, or water sports… the day is yours.
🌊 Palawan – Underground River and Island Hopping from El Nido
The adventure continues on the beautiful island of Palawan. First, we visit Sabang to explore the Underground River, one of the seven natural wonders of the world. Then we head to the northern part of the island, to El Nido – a traveler’s paradise surrounded by limestone cliffs and turquoise sea. Two days of island hopping await – exploring lagoons, hidden beaches, and coral bays. We spend one night on a deserted island, far from civilization – under the stars, to the rhythm of the waves.
🐋 Cebu – Encounter with the World’s Largest Fish
Finally, we head to Cebu Island for an unforgettable experience – swimming with majestic whale sharks (Butanding). These gentle giants feed on plankton and captivate us with their size and serenity. After this magical ending, we return to the city, refresh ourselves, and prepare to depart – full of unforgettable memories.

We have made every effort to experience all the diversity that the Philippines has to offer in the time you spend in this beautiful island country.
About the country
The Republic of the Philippines is an island nation, consisting of as many as 7,107 islands, located in the tropical western Pacific Ocean. Less than half of the islands are inhabited, about 2770 to be exact. The two largest islands, Luzon and Mindanao, represent two-thirds of the territory. The climate is tropical, high humidity, characterized by high temperatures and heavy rain. The Philippines has a population of approximately 110 million and is growing rapidly. The population is mostly Catholic 85%. The second largest religious community is 10% Muslim. The diet in the Philippines is, like most Asian countries, home-grown rice.
This one comes to the table always accompanied by different sauces. The side dishes and sauces are both vegetable and meaty and there are usually several different flavors that mix well. Among the meat, pork is the most popular. In addition to the staple rice, which is annexed rice, the Philippines is also known for its excellent seafood, which is not surprising, given that it is surrounded by the Pacific Ocean. There are as many as 90 languages spoken in the Philippines and they also have many dialects. Tagalog is the most widely spoken language, spoken by just over 40% of the population and is the official language of the Philippines in addition to English. Tagalog indicates the language and inhabitants of the area in central Luzon, and the modern version of this language also contains inherited words from Spanish and English from the colonizers.

Potovanje na Filipine je bilo res TOP❤?. Nepozabno, megafantastično…Filipini so res raj na zemlji in s takim programom ti je omogočeno, da vidiš ogromno in uživaš v vsakem trenutku(ok na transferjih malo manj,a so pač nujno zlo ?).Na kratko je težko opisati vsa doživetja..Ljudje so gostoljubni, prijazni in srčni Narava je enkratna,od riževih polj,gozdov,rek,slapov in kristalno čistega morja s čudovitim podvodnim svetom.Vsak kraj,ki smo ga obiskali ima svoje dragulje, a nedvomno mi bo ostal v srcu in duši samotni otok,kjer smo doživeli fantastičen sončni zahod in prespali pod milijon zvezdami. Aja,pa nastop,ki so nam ga priredili Filipinski otroci.,pa Taizejke,pa vožnja med monoliti……
…..
Programa ne bi spreminjala,saj ponuja raznolikost in se za vsakega najde biser.Za mojo bolj uživaško dušo,bi si želela več poležavanja na plaži,a istočasno bi se s tem odpovedala drugim nepozabnim doživetjem.
Matic je TOP vodnik.Od 1 do 5,bi ga ocenila z 10. Profesionalen,odličen organizator, motivator, predvsem pa srčen človek.Za vsakega v skupini si je vzel čas in videl,kdaj kdo potrebuje pogovor, pomoč,ima krizo.. V zahvalo njemu,je bilo to potovanje čarobno.
Skratka na Filipine bi se še vrnila, zagotovo,bi jih priporočila vsem,ki si želijo okusiti zemeljski raj.
Moje naslednje potovanje,bo po trenutnem navdihu in terminu,ki ga lahko uskladim s službo..Ogromno krajev je na tem planetu,ki si jih želim videti,sploh,če imajo poletje,ko je pri nas zima.
Hvala za vse Char ekipa.Res ste “zakon”
Lep pozdrav

Živjo,
ko sem se precej neplanirano in hitro prijavila na potovanje, sem pričakovala tisto klasično Azijo (s templji, prijaznimi ljudmi, ki bi zmeraj raje evro več kot manj, tonami riža…), a dobila sem precej drugačno, nepričakovano potovanje, ki bo še dolgo ostalo v spominu.
Poleg mogočnih in nepredstavljivo zelenih riževih teras (waw efekt), pisanih tržnic, ki me zmeraj povlečejo med domačine, lepot lokalnega prevoza, ki nikoli ne prikrajša za kakšno zgodbo, lepih plaž in podvodnega sveta, ki smo ga odkrivali z ladjico, so tu še pristni in topli ljudje, ki jih ni strah pogovorov s turisti in so ti na vsakem koraku pripravljeni pomagati, tudi na najbolj nemogočih krajih in urah brez da bi v zameno zahtevali karkoli. Skratka ne da se vse strnit v par vrstic. Definitivno pa je to eno izmed potovanj, ki so me, ne samo zaradi ljudi (s špansko preteklostjo), ampak tudi narave, pozitivno presenetila in bodo še dolgo pustila sledi.
Matic… kot je bilo rečeno že na uvodnem sestanku, nam z njim nikoli ni bilo dolgčas. Vsakemu v skupini je namenil svoj čas in se zmeraj prilagodil najšibkejšemu členu. Skupaj z nalezljivim smehom in smislom za humor je skrbel za dobro voljo v skupini in nas na vsake toliko s čim presenetil ali pa mi njega. Poskrbel pa je tudi za enega izmed lepših, če ne najlepših, sprejemov na letališču v Manili. Hvala, bilo je … 🙂
Vsem, ki razmišljajo/te kam bi se odpravili, ste ljubitelji zelenja, morja, latino glasbe in druženja z domačini, ki dajo precej več od tistih že preobremenjenih s trumami turistov, priporočam, da se odpravijo v ta del Azije, ki je vse drugo kot tipična Azija.
Lep popočitniški pozdrav,
Tjaša
Pozdravljeni.
Potovanje je bilo nepozabno. Doživela sem veliko prijetnih stvari, spoznala nove ljudi in nove kraje, kamor bi se z veseljem ponovno podala. Meni ste polepšali leto in pokazali, da se z dobro voljo, vztrajnostjo in potrpežljivostjo da premagati vse ovire. Za vse skupaj sem izredno hvaležna organizatorjem, skupini, ki me je lepo sprejela in še posebej Maticu in lokalnim vodičem.
Lep pozdrav, Mateja
Pozdravljeni!
Potovanje po Filipinih je bilo zelo lepo in sproščujoče
Lepo zato, ker je narava na Filipinih nadvse čudovita in omogoča, da pozabimo na vsakdanje skrbi, pa tudi domačini so zelo prijazni ljudje.
Tudi oddihi na peščenih plažah so bili prijetni, je pa bilo še mnogo ogledov in aktivnosti tako, da ni bilo preveč časa za lenarjenje.
Zelo se mi je vtisnilo v spomin križarjenje med otoki in obiski skritih plaž v okolici El Nida, pa tudi vožnja po reki Loboc in zipline čez reko.
Vodenje in organizacija sta bili odlični tako, da lahko z veseljem dodelim Maticu oceno 5.
Potovanje bi priporočal popotnikom, ki uživajo v pohodih po lepi naravi in si radi ogledajo zanimive kreacije narave.
Lep pozdrav Marjan
Živ, živ,
malo je trajalo pa vendar, še moje mnenje 🙂
FILIPINI – potovanje nasploh, odličen program. Super potek, da se gre najprej med riževe terase na sever in potem proti morju, po otokih. Najlepši spomini, ko so se otroci naučili in nam zapeli “Mi se imamo radi …”, super doživetje Cave connection v Segadi. Žal se zaradi slabega počutja nisem spustila v vodo s kitovci. Sicer bi lahko trdila, da je tudi to top doživetje. Tudi prijeten Port Barton je ostal v lepem spominu in čudovit podvodni svet ter s kajaki po lagunah …. Pa še bi Iahko naštevala ….In seveda super skupina sopotnikov ter fajn vodnik.
Vodenje in organizacija je potekala gladko. Pohvale Maticu, ki se je se trudil za celo skupno in vsakega posebej.
Matic je super vodnik, obvladuje vse situacije, zasluži oceno 5+ 🙂
V prihodnje bi potovala še marsikam 🙂 luštno je prekinit naš zimo in it v toplejše kraje sicer pa menjava med kontinenti. Enkrat na en konec drugič na drug.
Za potovanje sem se odločila, ker me je ta destinacija še čakala iz must see liste in seveda odličnega programa. Priporočam!
LP, Bojana
Spoštovani,
opravičujem se za pozni odgovor.
Na Filipinih je bilo odlično. Vse se je lepo odvijalo, organizacija je tekla. Matic je svoje delo odlično opravil.
Mogoče samo namig za kakšeno informacijo o biserih, kje se jih najbolj ugodno dobi, glede na to , da je to dežela biserov. To ne podajam kot pripombo, (ker gre za treking potovanje), pa vseeno, če si prvič tam, informacija prav pride.
Lepe pozdrave Anica
