Have an all-you-can-eat lunch buffet on the large rafts while cruising the lush and vibrant Loboc River in Bohol. The photos attached show the presidential villa of Eskaya Resort, which effortlessly accommodates six guests. Large doors from the common living room open up to the wrap-around deck. A part of the deck has glass floors perfect for photo ops while the rest of the deck allows you to lounge in an outdoor dining table, sun loungers, a big pool with a built-in hot tub, and a cushioned and shaded day bed. Take the stairs beyond the deck and it will take you down to the water and your very own private dock. While you're here, take time to visit the Tarsiers (a mammal that's unique to the Philippines) and the Chocolate Hills to see what makes Bohol unique.

Gather your friends and take a guided tour of the Kawasan Falls Cebu Canyoneering Adventure! This activity takes one whole day and will require a lot from you physically. But, saying the experience is "worth it" is an understatement. Going on this adventure will transport you to a world untouched. The cold canyon water, the breeze of fresh air, and the warmth of local tour guides are elements that will make your trip unforgettable and one-of-a-kind. Bring sturdy athletic shoes if you're willing to get wet, have a good night's rest, power up on your breakfast, and you'll be ready for one of the best adventures you'll ever have!

Arguably the most popular island in the Philippines for the longest time happens to possibly have the most breathtaking sunsets in the country, Boracay, known for its powdery white sand still has its allure to this day. From good food and various water sports to nightlife, you have it all!

Split into a few stations, my family, friends, and I swear by staying in station 1 as it has the most immaculate shoreline while still close to station 2's hustle and bustle. We particularly are loyal to Discovery Shores as it has the best service and location. For first-timers, I suggest having their first sunset at the shore of Station 1 followed by dinner at Los Indios Bravos, where you can have incredible food and local craft beer.  Jonah's Shakes is an island classic worth a try. 

If you appreciate rock formations and lagoons, El Nido in Palawan is a place worth your attention. 

The first and very important tip I've learned is to avoid going in the month of December. It gets really packed to the point it won't be enjoyable as you'd have to line up to get into lagoons when island hopping. 

Second, no matter how tempting it is to get the speed boat or modern-looking boats when island hopping, opt for the local boats called "bangka" that have outriggers that balance the boat. This will save you from nausea and seasickness as it's more stable for El Nido waves. 

Third, if you want to visit a relatively virgin beach, stay in Nacpan Beach, which uniquely has luscious dark brown sand.

Lastly, bring a waterproof case or jacket for your phone. And, have fun!
