Philippines Travel Recommendations for 2024 (Updated in Jul)

Boracay is still the best! 🤍🇵🇭

It’s my family’s second visit in Boracay Island and boy, it gets better every time. There are new restaurants and activities to try from paraw sailing, land tour, island hopping, etc. We ate at trending restaurants like Aria, Spicebird, Ice Flakes, Coco Mama and many more. For hotel, we stayed at Henann Palm and it is the best hotel for families with children! It is beachfront and near every thing you need! Facilities are so nice too even their food and drinks. We’ll definitely visit again! #itsmorefuninthephilippines #boracay #boracaytrip

Listen up! For summer water fun, head to Boracay Island~

Traveling to Boracay Island isn't just about lying flat; you can't miss out on the various exciting water activities available. The following water activities are especially popular locally, so hurry up and plan them! 🩵 Sunset Sailing The star attraction of Boracay Island, just make an advance reservation, and wait in line at the travel agency to board the boat. The basic package costs less than 100, which is quite cheap. Of course, whether you can see the sunset depends on the weather that day. I arranged it on my first day of arrival, not only did I see the sunset but also the afterglow, it was simply too perfect! 🩵 Stand Up Paddleboarding A water activity that has been 🔥 overseas for a long time, many locals and Caucasians play it there. Paddleboards can be rented locally. Personally, I think this is a project that tests your sense of balance. If you want to try, you can go to White Beach, where the 🌊 waves are not very big, relatively safer. 🩵 Kite Surfing A cool water activity that's off the charts, recommended for friends with surfing experience to try. The peak season for surfing is from November to March each year. It's okay if you don't know how to play, there are also kite surfing courses available locally, with a duration of about 3 days. If you are staying for a longer period or have plenty of time, you can participate. 🩵 Diving There are many diving spots on Boracay Island, a paradise for diving enthusiasts. If you want to learn to dive, you can also come here, there are many Chinese-speaking locals, so you can find Chinese diving courses, making communication barrier-free. Of course, friends who are not good at swimming can also try snorkeling, where you can see a lot of fish. In addition, there are other popular activities like parasailing, jet skiing, and banana boating available locally! Friends who love water activities should not miss out.

With few people and a romantic atmosphere, you must visit here in the Philippines!!!

🌊 Stepping onto Boracay Island for the first time is like entering the back garden of paradise. The water here is so clear that you can see the bottom, and the sand is so fine it feels like flour, making every step feel like walking on clouds. 🌞 In the morning, awakened by the first ray of sunlight, stepping out of the hotel, you can feel the gentle caress of the sea breeze on your cheeks. Strolling along the beach, watching the sun rise slowly from the horizon, the sparkling waves and golden light interweave, creating a scene as beautiful as a painting. 🍽️ For lunch, why not try some local specialties? Fresh seafood, tropical fruits, and special sauces make every bite an ultimate temptation for the taste buds. And those colorful drinks bring a touch of coolness in the hot summer days. 🏄‍♂️ In the afternoon, you can choose to participate in water sports, such as surfing, snorkeling, banana boating... Under the guidance of professional instructors, release your passion and vitality. Or, just find a quiet corner, lie on a beach chair, listen to the sound of the waves, watch the clouds in the sky, and enjoy a leisurely afternoon tea time. 🌟 As night falls, another charm of Boracay Island is revealed. Beach bonfires, street performers, night market snacks... Each place is filled with exotic atmosphere and joyful vibes. 💫 On my last night on Boracay Island, I chose to have dinner at a seaside restaurant. While tasting delicious food, I admired the sea under the starry sky, feeling deeply moved. This beautiful land has not only given me endless surprises and pleasure but also made me understand the meaning and value of life. It taught me that life is not just about survival, but also about experiencing and feeling the beauty of this world.

Sun, Sand and Sea! All for free!

#summerbreak It was one of the best trips I had in Bohol. I went to visit my uncle and aunt's home in Clarin. They owned a bamboo walk that led to the sea. At the end of the bamboo walk, our boat waited to bring us to the sand bar. There were so many starfish in the area. We had lunch in our boat and swam to our hearts' content. Who said bonding with the family is expensive? I was glad I booked that flight from Trip.com and I was able to enjoy time with my family.

Bohol at a glance

Cute, amazing island with just 2-hour travelling from Cebu city by Oceanjet ferry. Love the ride across the Bilar man-made forest while heading to Chocolate hills, the extraordinary greenary color of Loboc river, the tarsiers are amazing to observe as well. The only thing I didn’t like is the crowd at Chocolate hills which killed a bit of experience to me, as a nature-lovers 😂. Just wish I have more time in Bohol. #summervacation

Thank you Trip.com , I'm always satisfied in your service. ❤️❤️❤️

JAL business class redeye experience

My first JAL business flight ❤️ Even knowing it was a redeye and the airline’s oldest business cabin, I was still excited for this 4hr+ short hop from Manila to Tokyo Haneda ✈️ The 787-8 Shell Flat Neo is an angled recline instead of lie-flat and the seat is actually really comfortable! Seat was wide enough and with no neighbor beside me, the sense of privacy was much better than expected from a 2-2-2 cabin. 🍀 The Japanese meal was stellar and absolutely delicious and so pretty indeed - pairing it with both of the sakes on offer was the icing on the cake 🍰 Service was expectedly great and all smiley politeness with the crew actively walking the aisle 👩✈️ Great way to clock my status! 🌸

Fish be with you 🐟🐠🦈

Had an unplanned visit at The Manila Ocean Park. It was my first time visiting the place with my friends and the experience was great and memorable. Saw different kinds of fish and other marine animals. It was very fun especially the bird show and the sea lion show. There were many visitors as they were spending the holiday season with their loved ones. Will definitely be back soon. ☺️
