Start Rugged

You have just arrived at the airport and you are ready for adventure! This is the time to tackle the most rugged destinations and opportunities available. Your energy and excitement are high, and you should take advantage of that to hike up mountains and explore the deep recesses of caves. There are several tours available, ranging from moderate to intensely challenging, to kick off your tour of the Philippines. Perhaps trekking through the Cordillera region and capturing breathtaking vistas and some of the most famous sights the Philippines has to offer, such as the rice terraces. There are plenty of opportunities for spelunking in Sagada, where you can scramble, climb and explore caves to your heart’s content.

Go Deep

With your newly sore muscles, it’s time to explore other famous and beautiful regions of the Philippines below the surface. There are some of the most exotic and wonderful scuba diving and snorkeling locations found in the Philippines. Whether you want to explore coral reefs, swim with sea turtles, or investigate sunken vessels for World War 2 artifacts, there is an adventure waiting for you. Take the ultimate diving trip to Tubbataha in a protected nature preserve, or swim through shipwrecks in Northern Palawan. Your days spent exploring beneath the waves will be the perfect way to see some of the most unique and beautiful marine life in the world.

When you have finished hiking, trekking, spelunking, and diving, it’s time to relax! One of the most beautiful destinations for relaxation is the Huma Island Resort. While there are still opportunities for adventure, the wonderful thing about Huma Island are the holistic services they offer, such as yoga, facials, and massages. Work out the knots and release the tension from your days of travel while staying in a gorgeous villa over the water, dining on world class food, and luxuriating in therapeutic spa services. Huma Island Resort is only one of many Philippine resorts available for booking, and there is sure to be a perfect location for you to cap off your vacation in beauty, relaxation, and luxury.
