It\u2019s one of the best countries on the planet for diving, snorkelling, hiking, and connecting with beautiful nature. But with over 7,000 islands, where do you begin? We\u2019ve got you covered, with seven of the best Philippines tourist spots to add to your bucket list.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-palawan\"><strong>Palawan<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-embed is-type-rich is-provider-instagram wp-block-embed-instagram\"><div class=\"wp-block-embed__wrapper\">\nhttps:\/\/www.instagram.com\/p\/CHo9wTDjo-G\n<\/div><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>Palawan is a group of islands and one of the Philippines&#8217; most incredible tourist spots. The area is home to some of the best beaches in the country, with white sandy shores, lush jungles, rocky cliffs, and clear turquoise water.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Puerto Princesa is the capital city of Palawan province, with the nearby Subterranean River National Park where you\u2019ll find towering karst formations and an underground river. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-embed is-type-rich is-provider-instagram wp-block-embed-instagram\"><div class=\"wp-block-embed__wrapper\">\nhttps:\/\/www.instagram.com\/p\/BtkgKw9DUZf\n<\/div><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>One of the most popular spots in Palawan is El Nido, a little town set between soaring limestone karsts and the gorgeous Bacuit archipelago. It&#8217;s home to clear waters, sandy islands, and excellent snorkelling spots. For incredible diving, head to Coron Island, where you\u2019ll find electric blue water and many shipwrecks from World War II.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong><em>RELATED CONTENT: <a href=\"https:\/\/www.trafalgar.com\/real-word\/hidden-gems-asia\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">11 hidden gems and secret paradises you never knew existed in Asia<\/a><\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-bohol\"><strong>Bohol<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-embed is-type-rich is-provider-instagram wp-block-embed-instagram\"><div class=\"wp-block-embed__wrapper\">\nhttps:\/\/www.instagram.com\/p\/CNE5mWZDQnp\n<\/div><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>The island of Bohol in the Visayas region is one of the best places to visit for a first time Philippines trip because it has everything from natural beauty to wildlife to historical and cultural sites. The most famous spot in Bohol is the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.nationalgeographic.com\/travel\/article\/bohol-chocolate-hills-natural-wonder\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Chocolate Hills<\/a> in Carmen, a geological wonder where hundreds of dome-like formations scatter across the landscape. The greenery coating the hills turns brown in the dry season, making them look like chocolate kisses. They\u2019re particularly beautiful at sunrise when the sun rays light up the hills.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>If you\u2019re a wildlife lover, you\u2019ll want to see the amazing Tarsiers that live in this area. They\u2019re the world\u2019s smallest primate with huge orange eyes and tiny fingers and you can visit a primate sanctuary in Bohol to see them up close.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-embed is-type-rich is-provider-instagram wp-block-embed-instagram\"><div class=\"wp-block-embed__wrapper\">\nhttps:\/\/www.instagram.com\/p\/BxjirFZDMSH\n<\/div><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>Of course, there\u2019s plenty of water activities in Bohol. With dozens of gorgeous beaches and nearby marine reserves off the Panglao and Pamalican islands, you can spend days snorkelling and diving \u2018til your heart&#8217;s content. You can take a boat up the Loboc River to see waterfalls or head over to Hinagdanan Cave. Or take a boat to Balicasag to see wild turtles and vibrant coral. And if you ever get tired of all the natural wonders, there\u2019s also a number of historical sites and Spanish colonial architecture to explore.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong><em>RELATED CONTENT: <a href=\"https:\/\/www.trafalgar.com\/real-word\/asia-bucket-list-once-lives\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Why everyone needs a bucket list trip to Asia at least once in their lives<\/a><\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-boracay\"><strong>Boracay<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-embed is-type-rich is-provider-instagram wp-block-embed-instagram\"><div class=\"wp-block-embed__wrapper\">\nhttps:\/\/www.instagram.com\/p\/B2V7YvuDXz0\n<\/div><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>Located in the west Visayas region, Boracay is one of the most popular stops on any Philippines tour&#8230; And for good reason. It\u2019s an incredible beach and water sports destination with dozens of soft white sandy beaches and bright blue water. You can go scuba diving, snorkelling, parasailing, kayaking, and more. And if you love to party, Boracay is famed for its buzzing nightlife scene.&nbsp;&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-embed is-type-rich is-provider-instagram wp-block-embed-instagram\"><div class=\"wp-block-embed__wrapper\">\nhttps:\/\/www.instagram.com\/p\/CR3Ml8dDF9O\n<\/div><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>For the best beaches, head to Puka Shell Beach where you\u2019ll find gorgeous shells.

There\u2019s also the central White Beach that has amazing views of the island and is close to lots of shopping, food and party spots.

If you have the time, you could also head to Malapascua, said to be the best dive site in the Philippines. It\u2019s a four-hour drive from the airport and a boat ride, but it\u2019s an extraordinary place. You can also go hiking and exploring in the beautiful nature of Sudlon National Park, just an hour from Cebu city.

Your trip will likely start or end in Manila and it\u2019s worth spending a few days exploring the city before you head off to the islands. Start with the National Museum of the Philippines to learn about the country\u2019s history. Then check out the cultural and historic sites like the walled city of Intramuros.
