Planning a Philippines itinerary? Don’t worry! I’ve got you covered with this ultimate guide to 10 days in the Philippines!

Known for its tropical atmosphere, endless sunshine, pristine beaches, lush islands, and crystal clear waters, the Philippines is an incredible destination! And one that I simply can’t get enough of!

In fact, I’ve been to the Philippines twice now and am already planning a third trip back, hopefully next year (fingers crossed)! 

And I’m so excited to see that you’re interested in visiting this tropical paradise as well!

So, where should you go on your Philippines trip? What should you include on your itinerary? And how should you arrange it all?

Let’s dive in and discuss all this as we plan out the best Philippines itinerary for 10 days.

Best Time to Visit the Philippines

While most people think the weather in the Philippines is incredibly warm and sunny (which it is the majority of the time), the islands do actually experience a rainy season. This typically occurs between June and November and brings with it heavy periods of rain, winds, and storms.

Given this, the best time to visit the Philippines is during the dry season between December and May. This is when you’ll experience optimal weather conditions complete with clear skies and sunny days.

However, this period of time also coincides with peak travel season. Which means you’re likely to encounter more crowds and higher prices.

If you wish to avoid this, you can instead travel during the shoulder season in the months of May and November. Around this time, you’ll experience mostly pleasant weather with fewer crowds and more affordable prices. 

On the other hand, if you have no choice and must travel during the rainy season, definitely be prepared for some rain, but don’t stress out about it too much. I’ve actually visited the Philippines during this time of the year. I went to both Boracay and Palawan during the rainy season and, while I did get hit with a few rain showers, my trip was largely unaffected.

The important thing during this time of the year is to remain flexible and have a few backup plans in place.

Typhoon Season in the Philippines

It’s important to note that the Philippines does experience a typhoon season. This technically coincides with the rainy season; however, the most active period for typhoons in the Philippines is July to October.

If you plan to travel during typhoon season, you’ll want to keep an eye on the weather and be flexible with your plans in the event of a storm. It may also be worth it to purchase travel insurance, especially if you intend to visit the Philippines between July and October.

How to Get to the Philippines

For the purposes of this Philippines itinerary, you’ll want to fly into Ninoy Aquino International Airport (formerly known as Manila International Airport). 

This is the largest airport in the Philippines and one that the majority of visitors fly into. It is serviced by several major airlines, including United, Emirates, Korean Air, and Philippine Airlines.

The airport lies just outside the city center, so you’ll need to take a taxi, private transfer, or bus to your hotel. All of these options are very affordable; however, a taxi or transfer is typically much faster. Generally speaking, it takes about 30 minutes to reach the city center by car and an hour by bus.

How to Get Around the Philippines

Although the Philippines is quite spread out (it’s home to over 7,000 islands!), it’s still relatively easy to get around.

Traveling Between Islands

When traveling from island to island, you can typically fly or take a ferry. Both of which are usually pretty affordable.

Your decision here will really depend upon how much time you have and how far you plan to travel. 

For longer distances, it’s generally easier to fly. Meanwhile, short trips (like Coron to El Nido) can be completed by ferry, as it’s usually cheaper and a bit more fun.

Traveling On Island

Once you’ve reached your final destination, you’ll have several ground transportation options to choose from.

Most major cities offer some form of public transportation that includes buses and jeepneys. 

For those who’ve never seen them before, jeepneys are former military jeeps that have been converted into minibus-like vehicles. They’re very unique to the Philippines and quite fun to ride!

In addition to this, shuttle vans, tricycles, taxis, and ride-shares are available for hire pretty much everywhere you go.

You can grab tricycles and taxis right off the street. Meanwhile, shuttle vans can be scheduled ahead of time through your hotel or online. And ride-shares can be booked through the Grab app.

Last but certainly least, you can also rent a car or moped, depending on your destination. 

Tourists to the Philippines are allowed to drive in the country for up to 90 days using their home licenses. However, your license does need to be in English. If it’s not, you will need to obtain a translation of your license or apply for an International Driver’s Permit.

A quick word of caution: If you opt to drive in the Philippines, be prepared for off-road conditions in rural areas and heavy traffic in the cities (Manila is the worst I’ve ever seen)!

10 Day Philippines Itinerary: Explained

Stop 1: Manila – 1 Night

We’ll begin our 10 day Philippines itinerary in the country’s capital, Manila!

As the capital city of the Philippines, Manila is a lively and bustling destination that offers a plethora of attractions, restaurants, and entertainment venues. Simply put, there is so much to do and see here!

However, you’re only here for one day, and you’ll probably need a bit of downtime to adjust to the time change. So don’t pressure yourself to overdo it. 

Instead, pick a couple of things that interest you (or join a short city tour) and then spend the remainder of your time resting up for your next destination.

Best Things to Do in Manila

Here are some of the most popular things to do in Manila:

  • Explore Intramuros: Known as the walled city, Intramuros is one of the oldest districts in Manila. Built by the Spaniards in the 16th century, it’s home to several notable attractions, including the Manila Cathedral, San Agustin Church, Fort Santiago, Casa Manila, and the ruins of Baluarte de San Diego
  • Visit the National Museum of the Philippines: One of the most popular museums in the Philippines, the National Museum actually consists of 4 establishments. This includes the National Museum of Fine Art, the National Museum of Anthropology, the National Museum of Natural History, and the National Planetarium.
  • Wander the Grounds of Rizal Park: Encompassing nearly 150 acres of open lawn, this historic park is Manila’s largest and most important green space. Here, you’ll find a variety of monuments and statues dedicated to Filipino heroes, including José Rizal, for whom the park is named.
  • Travel to Italy at Venice Grand Canal Mall: Inspired by the Italian city of Venice, this mall features a life-sized artificial canal. There are even gondolas that you can take for a ride, as well as several delectable Italian restaurants. 
  • Go On a Manila City Tour: There are numerous guided Manila city tours that you can join! Many of them visit the most important historic attractions within the city. This is a great option if you’re short on time or prefer a more informative experience.

Where to Stay in Manila

Manila is a large metropolitan area that is actually made up of 16 separate and distinct cities. So deciding where to stay here can really be quite difficult. 

That being said, I generally recommend Makati City, as this is where I’ve always stayed when I’ve traveled to Manila. 

Known as the financial district, Makati lies in the heart of the city and offers a variety of hotels, international restaurants, trendy bars, and high-end shopping malls. 

It’s an especially great option for first-time travelers, as the area is very safe and friendly towards foreigners.

Aside from this, there are a few other areas that are pretty popular among tourists. These include:

  • Bonifacio Global City: Known locally as BGC, this newer city boasts a variety of high-end modern amenities, accommodations, and several green spaces.
  • Intramuros: The historic center of Manila, Intramuros offers easy access to some of the area’s oldest and most historically significant attractions.
  • Malate: Located along the waterfront, Malate is a lively city known for its flourishing nightlife and popular eateries. 
  • Quezon City: A trendy, up-and-coming city, Quezon is home to several universities, boutique stores, and quaint cafes.

Stop 2: Coron, Palawan – 2 Nights

The second stop on our Philippines 10 day itinerary is Coron! Photo by Sam Balye via Unsplash.

Situated in Northern Palawan, Coron is a group of islands known for its majestic limestone landscapes, stunning freshwater lakes, world-class wreck diving, and pristine sandy beaches.

While island hopping is by far one of the most popular things to do here, the archipelago also offers a wealth of interior adventures and activities. 

To get a feel for both land and sea, spend a day exploring the main island of Busuanga, and then head out for a day on the water!

How to Get to Coron

Direct flights are offered between Manila and Coron and generally take a little over an hour.

You’ll fly into Francisco B. Reyes Airport, which lies on Busuanga Island and is the main airport for Coron. Once here, it’s about a 30-40 minute drive to Coron Town. 

Transportation is provided to town via public shuttle vans. You can grab one when you arrive at the airport. Or you can book a transfer ahead of time – both private and shared options are available.

Best Things to Do in Coron

Here are a few fun things you can do in Coron:

  • Join a Coron Island Hopping Tour: Coron offers a number of island hopping tours for you to choose from. Destinations include a variety of popular spots, including Kayangan Lake, Twin Lagoons, Skeleton Wreck, Barracuda Lake, and CYC Beach.
  • Hike Mount Tapyas: The hike up Mount Tapyas only takes about 15-20 minutes but offers incredible views of Busuanga and the surrounding islands.
  • Relax at Maquinit Hot Springs: Located about 20 minutes outside Coron Town, Maquinit is a saltwater spring that lies in the middle of the jungle. It’s a great spot to relax and watch the sunset.
  • Explore Coron’s Beaches: The islands of Coron are home to countless incredible beaches. Some of the most popular include Banul Beach, Atwayan Beach, and Smith Point Beach.
  • Go Shipwreck Diving or Snorkeling: Dubbed the wreck diving capital of the Philippines, Coron is home to a number of shipwrecks dating back to WWII. Whether you’re a diver or a snorkeler, there are opportunities for you to check them out.

Where to Stay in Coron

Most visitors opt to stay in Coron Town Proper, as it’s the easiest to reach and offers the most amenities.

Here, you’ll find a variety of accommodation options, ranging from budget hostels to upscale resorts. 

In addition to this, the area is home to countless restaurants, bars, shops, and even a few historical attractions. 

Coron Town Proper is also where most island hopping tours depart, so it’s very convenient for those who wish to explore beyond Busuanga Island. 

Apart from this, other popular areas to stay in Coron include:

  • Busuanga West Coast: A less developed area of Busuanga Island, the west coast is home to several laid-back accommodations that offer easy access to outdoor adventures.
  • Outer Islands: Dispersed among the smaller islands of Coron, you’ll find a mix of secluded, high-end luxury resorts and eco-friendly lodging accommodations.

Stop 3: El Nido, Palawan – 3 Nights

Next up on our 10 day itinerary for the Philippines is the beautiful region of El Nido! 

Dubbed “Heaven on Earth,” El Nido is a municipality that lies just south of Coron on Palawan Island.

Home to the famous town of El Nido and several surrounding islands, the area is celebrated for its towering limestone cliffs, pristine secluded beaches, stunning turquoise waters, and flourishing coral reefs.

While this area of the Philippines has much to offer, you only have three nights here. So, my recommendation is to spend your first day exploring the town, your second day out on the water, and your third day in the jungles of El Nido.

How to Get to El Nido

You have two options to consider when traveling between Coron and El Nido. You can either fly or take the ferry.

Non-stop flights to El Nido Airport are offered exclusively via AirSwift. These operate a few times a week and take about 40 minutes.

The fast ferry, on the other hand, departs daily and arrives in El Nido in as little as five hours.

The ferry, however, is known to fill up quickly, especially during peak travel season. So, you’ll want to book your ferry reservations in advance if you decide to go this route. 

When you arrive in El Nido, whether at the airport or the ferry terminal, you can hire a taxi or tricycle to take you into town. Or, you can check with your hotel to see if they offer a shuttle service.

Best Things to Do in El Nido

Here are a few popular things you can do in El Nido:

  • Go On an El Nido Island Hopping Tour: Similar to Coron, El Nido offers a variety of island hopping tours that feature kayaking and snorkeling. Popular destinations among these tours include Big Lagoon, Secret Lagoon, Seven Commando Beach, Secret Beach, and Small Lagoon.
  • Discover El Nido’s Beaches: El Nido is home to countless beaches that you can explore. Some of the most famous include Nacpan Beach, Calitang Beach, Las Cabanas Beach, and Lio Beach.
  • Travel by Zip Line Between Islands: At Las Cabanas Beach, you’ll find a zip line course that travels over the water to a nearby outer island. 
  • Take a Canopy Walk Up Taraw Cliff: Offering incredible views of El Nido and the surrounding bay, the Canopy Walk travels 75 feet above sea level across hanging bridges and up steep cliff sides. 
  • Plunge into El Nido’s Waterfalls: El Nido is surrounded by a plethora of stunning waterfalls. Some of the most popular include Nagkalit-Kalit Falls, Bulalacao Falls, and Kuyawyaw Waterfalls
  • Enjoy the Town’s Nightlife: The town of El Nido is home to a thriving nightlife. Here, you’ll find a number of beach bars that offer cheap drinks and live music.

Where to Stay in El Nido

If you’d like to be in the midst of all the action, then plan to stay within El Nido Town Proper

Not only are there a variety of accommodations available here, but you’ll also have easy access to several restaurants, bars, shops, and tour operators.

In addition to this, many of the diving and island hopping tours depart from El Nido Town, so it’s a very convenient location in that sense. 

Aside from this, other popular areas to stay include:

  • Caalan Beach: Situated just down the road from El Nido Town, Caalan Beach offers incredible oceanfront views as well as easy access to the town’s amenities.
  • Las Cabanas: Known for its amazing sunsets, Las Cabanas is a popular romantic destination for couples looking to get away.
  • Nacpan Beach: Along the sandy shore of Palawan’s most famous beach lie several high-end resorts and glamping accommodations.

Stop 4: Bohol – 3 Nights

We’ll wrap up our 10 day Philippines itinerary with a final stop in Bohol!

Located in the Central Visayas region, Bohol encompasses a set of islands known for their incredible landscapes, unforgettable beaches, crystal clear waters, and historically significant landmarks.

Popular among beach lovers, history buffs, and adrenaline junkies alike, Bohol certainly offers much to be explored. And thankfully, you have three days to do just that! 

To get a sampling of it all, I suggest dedicating a day to the beach, a day to the countryside, and a day to the ocean. This will allow you the opportunity to experience some of Bohol’s most celebrated attractions.

How to Get to Bohol

Given Bohol’s distance from Palawan, your best option is to fly between the two destinations.

Direct flights are offered exclusively via AirSwift from El Nido Airport to Bohol–Panglao International Airport. 

While this is the fastest way to reach Bohol, as flights take less than two hours, service between the two islands is only offered a few times a week.

If you’re unable to line up your schedule and can’t fly directly to Bohol, you can instead fly to Cebu and then take the fast ferry over to the main island.

Flights from El Nido to Mactan-Cebu International Airport are offered daily via AirSwift and take about an hour and 40 minutes. 

When you arrive in Cebu, you can hop in a taxi and transfer over to the Cebu Ferry Port. 

The ferry ride, which takes about 2 hours, is offered several times throughout the day. You can purchase ferry tickets online or buy them upon arrival.

Once you make it to Bohol, whether by plane or ferry, you can hire a taxi or tricycle to take you to your hotel. Private transfers are also available for those who fly into Bohol Airport.

Best Things to Do in Bohol

Here are some of the top things to do in Bohol:

  • Explore Bohol’s Chocolate Hills: The Chocolate Hills are by far one of the most famous attractions in Bohol. Celebrated for the scenic imagery they provide, these hills appear bright green during the rainy season and chocolate brown during the dry season. 
  • Visit the Philippine Tarsier & Wildlife Sanctuary: Tarsiers are some of the smallest primates in the world, and Bohol is one of the very few places on Earth where you can find them. At the Tarsier Sanctuary, you can view this endangered species in its natural habitat.
  • Join a Bohol Island Hopping Tour: Like many other destinations on our itinerary, Bohol offers a variety of island hopping tours. Most of these tours include dolphin watching, as well as visits to popular spots such as Balicasag Island and Virgin Island.
  • Go For a Boat Cruise Down the Loboc River: Traveling through the jungles of Bohol, Loboc River cruises offer incredible views of Bohol’s jungles.  
  • Discover the Rice Terraces of Bohol: Similar to those you’d find in Bali, the Cadapdapan Rice Terraces are incredibly scenic and beautiful!
  • Spend an Afternoon Chasing Waterfalls: Bohol is home to numerous stunning waterfalls. Some of the most popular include Can-Umantad Falls, Dimiao Twin Falls, Camugao Falls, and Ingkumhan Falls.

Pro Tip: You can combine many of Bohol’s inland attractions with a countryside tour!

Where to Stay in Bohol

While you can stay on the main island of Bohol, I recommend booking accommodations on Panglao Island.

A smaller island connected to Bohol by bridges, Panglao is home to some of the area’s best beaches.

Here, you’ll find a variety of hotels ranging from luxury resorts to budget-friendly hostels. 

In addition to this, the island offers a variety of restaurants, bars, and tour operators. In fact, many of Bohol’s island hopping tours depart directly from Panglao.

Apart from this, a few other popular areas to stay include:

  • Carmen: Located near the Chocolate Hills, Carmen is a great place to stay for those more interested in exploring Bohol’s countryside than its beaches.
  • Anda: A bit off the beaten path, Anda is a quiet coastal town that offers tranquil and serene accommodations. 
  • Tagbilaran: As the capital city of Bohol, Tagbilaran offers a wide array of urban amenities and easy access to several nearby beaches.

Alternative Stop 4: Boracay – 3 Nights

White Beach in Boracay

Boracay is a great alternative if you’re looking to wrap up your Philippines trip with a beachy escape!

If you’d prefer to spend your final days lounging on the beach, then you may want to adjust your Philippines itinerary and swap out Bohol for Boracay. 

Situated within the Western Visayas region, Boracay is known for its white sandy beaches, turquoise waters, and unforgettable sunsets.

With three days here, you’ll have plenty of time to soak up the sun, lounge on the beach, and partake in a few water sport activities.

How to Get to Boracay

Similar to Bohol, AirSwift also offers direct flights from El Nido to Boracay. However, these flights are only available a few times a week. 

If you’re unable to get a direct flight, you’ll need to fly to Manila first and then on to Boracay.

Because the island of Boracay doesn’t have its own airport, you’ll need to fly to Panay Island and take a ferry over. 

There are two airports in Panay that you can choose from: Kalibo International Airport and Godofredo P. Ramos Airport, also known as Caticlan Airport

I recommend flying into Caticlan Airport, as it’s located just down the road from the ferry terminal. Meanwhile, Kalibo is about two hours away. 

To get from the airport to the ferry, you can hire a taxi or tricycle or, if you’re coming from Kalibo, a van. 

Once you reach the ferry port, it’s a quick 10-15 minute ride to Boracay, where you can again hire a tricycle to take you to your hotel.

Alternatively, you can also book a private or shared transfer when coming from Kalibo Airport or Caticlan Airport.

Best Things to Do in Boracay

Here are some of the best things to do in Boracay:

  • Discover Boracay’s Beaches: Boracay is known for its beaches, which are believed to be some of the best in the Philippines. Of course, White Beach is the most famous, but other popular beaches include Tambisaan Beach, Puka Beach, and Diniwid Beach
  • Join An Island Hopping Tour of Boracay: Boracay is home to several outer islands, and the best way to see them is on an island hopping tour. Popular stops along these tours include Crocodile Island, Magic Island, and Crystal Cove.
  • Partake in Watersports: Boracay offers a plethora of water sport activities, including snorkeling, diving, kayaking, parasailing, kiteboarding, and more.
  • Take a Sunset Cruise: The sunsets in Boracay are absolutely amazing! And there’s no better way to see them than from a sunset cruise.
  • Enjoy the Nightlife: In addition to its stunning beaches, Boracay is known for its nightlife. Home to a variety of bars, pubs, and dance clubs, there’s a party experience here for everyone!

Where to Stay in Boracay

White Beach is not only the most famous beach in Boracay, it also happens to be the best place to stay on the island.

Spanning 4 kilometers in length, this incredible beach is broken up into three stations, each of which offers a different experience.

Station 1, which is considered the most upscale of the three, provides a quieter and more serene atmosphere. Here, you’ll find a variety of high-end beachfront resorts and hotels. 

Meanwhile, Station 2 is in the middle of the beach and at the heart of the action. This is where most bars, restaurants, and shops are located.

And finally, Station 3 is a bit less developed and more secluded. While there aren’t as many accommodation options here, the area is the most laid back and also the most affordable.

Aside from this, there are a few other areas that are popular among tourists. These include:

  • Diniwid Beach: Situated north of White Beach, Diniwid is popular among families as it’s much quieter and less crowded.
  • Bulabog Beach: Offering an abundance of water sports, Bulabog is ideal for those looking to spend their vacation out on the water.
  • Puka Beach: Located off the beaten path, Puka offers a handful of luxury resorts with fewer crowds.
  • Tambisaan Beach: Known for its marine life, Tambissan is popular among locals and visitors alike.

More Than 10 Days in the Philippines

Interested in extending your Philippines itinerary beyond 10 days? Then you’ll need a few more destinations to visit.

Here are my top suggestions:

  • Manila & Tagaytay: Prolong your stay in Manila and spend more time exploring all the city offers. You can even throw in a day trip to Tagaytay. This mountainous city offers incredibly scenic views of Luzon Island, including Taal Lake and Taal Volcano.
  • Port Barton & Puerto Princesa: Spend a few more days in Palawan and visit Port Barton and/or Puerto Princesa. While Port Barton is known for its beaches and island hopping, Puerto Princesa is the historical capital of Palawan. It’s also home to the Puerto Princesa Underground River, which is a UNESCO World Heritage Site.
  • Bohol & Boracay: Don’t choose between these destinations – add both Bohol and Boracay to your itinerary! You can even catch a direct flight between the two via Cebu.
  • Cebu Island: On your way to or from Bohol, spend a few days exploring the island of Cebu. Here, you’ll find a plethora of attractions, including stunning waterfalls, pristine sandy beaches, unforgettable island hopping experiences, and some of the oldest historical landmarks in the Philippines.

Frequently Asked Questions About Planning a Philippines Travel Itinerary

Here are my thoughts on some commonly asked questions about planning a Philippines itinerary for 10 days.

Is the Philippines Worth Visiting?

Yes, the Philippines is definitely worth visiting! Between its tropical climate, endless sunshine, pristine beaches, and crystal clear waters, the Philippines (in my opinion) is literally paradise on Earth. It’s, without a doubt, one of my favorite countries and a destination that I know I will continuously return to.

Is 10 Days Enough in the Philippines?

While you could easily spend months exploring the Philippines, 10 days is the perfect amount of time to visit the country’s highlights and get a feel for its culture. With 10 days, you’ll have the chance to explore four destinations (plus several outer islands) and experience some of the islands’ best beaches, landmarks, and attractions.

Is the Philippines a Cheap Country to Visit?

Compared to many other destinations around the world, the Philippines is an incredibly affordable country to visit. Honestly, the most expensive part is flying there, especially if you’re coming from the US or Europe. However, once you’re in the Philippines, everything is super affordable. From food to transportation, accommodations, and tours, it’s all very reasonably priced.

What is the Cheapest Month to Travel to the Philippines?

The rainy season is, without a doubt, the cheapest time to visit the Philippines. Between June and November, there are significantly fewer tourists, which means prices are much cheaper. However, the rainy season also brings with it unpredictable weather. As such, your plans are more likely to get interrupted, delayed, and possibly canceled. If you intend to travel around this time of the year, it’s best to be flexible and have a few backup plans in mind.

What Are the Best Months to Visit the Philippines?

In my opinion, May and November are the best months to visit the Philippines. Known as the shoulder season, both of these months typically offer great weather with fewer crowds and more affordable prices.

What Are the Most Popular Foods in the Philippines?

Food in the Philippines is delicious and definitely worth trying! I, honestly, suggest sampling as much of it as you possibly can. However, some of the most popular Filipino dishes to try include pancit, lumpia, sinigang, kare-kare, sisig, and my personal favorite, adobo.

Final Thoughts: 10 Days in the Philippines Itinerary

And that wraps up my recommendations for 10 days in the Philippines! Hopefully, this guide is helpful in planning your own trip to the islands.

Wherever you decide to go, I’m sure that you will have an incredible time. After all, the Philippines is literally paradise on Earth – so you really can’t go wrong here!
