13 DAYS
Bohol • Boracay
Family Islands
Two bases, one transfer day and calm beaches: Bohol's tarsiers, turtles and river, then Boracay's shallow water and sunset sailing. Built for children of all ages.
With children, the best Philippines trip is the one with the fewest moves. This route has just two bases and one transfer day between them. Bohol comes first, with the tiny tarsiers children love, the Chocolate Hills, a raft ride on the river and turtles at Balicasag. Then comes Boracay, with one of the calmest, shallowest family beaches in Asia, and easy restaurants, sailing at sunset and island-hopping by boat.
We choose family rooms or connecting rooms, hotels with pools and good food for children, and we keep tour days short. With toddlers, we can shorten the boat days. With teenagers, we add kayaking, paddleboarding and a first dive.

Questions travellers ask
1. Is the Philippines good with small children?
Very. Filipinos love children, the food is mild, and with two bases and short tours it is an easy trip. We plan nap times and pool time into the days.
2. Do children pay full price?
Usually not. Prices depend on ages and room sharing. Tell us your children's ages and we will quote exactly.
