Here are the fine details of this trip. VERY important to read these things!
If coming to the Philippines with a USA passport, you won’t need to get a Visa unless you are extending your stay in the Philippines for longer than 30 days. Other passports will need to research visa needs but odds are, you won’t need one.
The path of travel for this trip is as follows: Cebu City-Moalboal-El Nido (flight provided by ITW)-Coron. See Itinerary below for more information.
You’ll need to buy round trip tickets from your home to Manila, Philippines. You’ll need to buy a short one way flight from Manila to Cebu City that gets you there around 3pm on the 19th of June. And then you will need to buy a short one way flight for the 28th in the evening from Coron back to Manila. Once the group chat gets started when the trip is filled, we will discuss how to do these things :)
This trip starts in Cebu City at 3pm on June 19, 2026 and ends on June 28th in Coron in the evening. It will be up to participants as to whether they want to fly back to Manila that evening or stay in Coron, self funded.
Aside from your RT tickets from home to Manila (as discussed in #2), everything else is paid for with your ticket, except for alcohol and snacks. All meals and activities are included.
This trip has a specific packing list that we will give you early on.
The beachy and relaxing little town of Moalboal!
HERE IS An ITINERARY OF THE TRIP (GET READY FOR EXCITEMENT!) SUBJECT TO CHANGES/SHUFFLING ACTIVITIES AROUND.
June 19th: All participants arrive in Cebu at 3pm ideally. This day is all about collecting our new friends at the hotel in Cebu and having a lovely introductory dinner together. Rest up for the days ahead!
June 20th: Head to Moalboal town in the morning via van (about a 3 hour drive). Check into the hotel and relax on the beach and snorkel with turtles or try out the sardine run. We’ll have an amazing lunch and dinner in this cute little town and have some major relaxation if wanted.
June 21st: Today we will do an awesome and totally gorgeous Canyoneering tour at Kawasan. This experience is so fun and requires no experience! This lasts about a half day and includes lunch. We will head back to the hotel to have some free time and perhaps snorkel right off the beach. A lovely dinner at sunset will cap off our day.
June 22nd: Flight from Cebu to El NIdo in the morning. After we drop our things off at the hotel, we will either hire kayaks from El Nido Town and explore Cadlao Island, or hire a guide for the Taraw Peak hike. The hike is steep but not long, and provides a view of the entire town below. Gorgeous! We can decide during the trip which option we want to do- or split into two groups and tackle them both. Dinner and rest.
June 23rd: Today we will enjoy an all day snorkeling tour of some amazing locations, which includes lunch. We’ve chosen a less popular but equally stunning tour to cut back on potential crowds flocking to these epic sights! We’ll be back to town for our 6pm expedition briefing for the next 4 days’ boat trip.
June 24th-28th: Private sailing tour. How to describe this epic experience? Picture yourself island hopping in the day, snorkeling and paddleboarding to your heart’s content, or staying on board to read a book and relax. The crew is AWESOME and will serve you 3 amazing meals a day. There will be a service opportunity to help a local community on one of these days for a portion of the afternoon. Each night the boat will pull up to the sandy shores of a secluded and private island with adorable and quaint bamboo huts with cozy beds in them- you are truly experiencing the Philippines on this trip!
