We'll start off with the island of Palawan. Palawan was voted #1 island in the world in 2014 by Conde Naste. We will be staying in the area of Puerto Princesa. It is the most biodiverse islands in the Philippines. Palawan is an archipelago with 1,780 islands on the western part. Due to amazing landscapes and high bio-diversity, Palawan island is known as “The Last Ecological Frontier of the Philippines”. The northern part is characterized by incredible clear waters, white beaches, and many species of flora and fauna. Palawan is a sliver of an island that teems with exotic wildlife, quaint fishing villages, and UNESCO World Heritage Sites.

The capital, Puerto Princesa, is known for the biodiverse Puerto Princesa Subterranean River National Park, where boats run along an underground river through vast caves. Off the east coast, Honda Bay’s islands are dotted with resorts. Farther out in the Sulu Sea, Tubbataha Reefs Natural Park has reefs teeming with marine life.

Our first tour there is the underground river tour where we will take a motorised Banka to the entrance then a canoe tour in to the Cave itself. The tour takes you into the first 1.5 kilometres of the Underground River cave. Experience the beauty of Stalagmites and Stalactites, which took thousands of years to form, and the Swift and Bat populations that inhabit the cave. The Puerto Princesa Subterranean River is one of the top natural wonders of the world.

Our next tour is a 3-island hopping in Honda Bay. Each island at Honda Bay offers different thrills but Luli Island, Starfish Island, Panden Island and Cowrie Island are all great for swimming and snorkeling. Dive sites abound here, as the entire area is studded with patches of coral and sand. Submerged reefs may be found close to the surface down to 24 meters.

Next we travel to El Nido, known for white-sand beaches, coral reefs and as the gateway to the Bacuit archipelago, a group of islands with steep karst cliffs. Miniloc Island is famed for the clear waters of its Small and Big lagoons. Nearby Shimizu Island has fish-filled waters. The area has many dive sites, including Dilumacad Island’s long tunnel leading to an underwater cavern. El Nido is renowned as the "Heaven on Earth", and it comprises 45 islands and islets (Bacuit Archipelago), many of which are uninhabited. We have 3 days of tours set up here that will feature visits to these incredibly beauiful islands and amazing snorkeling.

Our last stop is to Boracay Island where we'll have another island hopping tour and a beautiful 5-star hotel on a private beach.
We went direct once again to give you the best rate on this trip that includes 3-domestic flights, daily breakfast, most lunches, transfers and wonderful hotels.

Then we will take a ride on the Sagano Scenic Railway is a sightseeing train line that runs along the Hozugawa River between Arashiyama and Kameoka. Its charming, old fashioned trains wind their way through the mountains at a relatively slow pace, taking about 25 minutes to make the seven kilometer journey and giving passengers a pleasant view of the scenery as they travel from Arashiyama through the forested ravine and into rural Kameoka.

From there we will take a little hike to a place called Monkey Park Iwatayama. Located in the Arashiyama mountains, the entrance to the monkey park can be found just south of the Togetsukyo Bridge. After hiking uphill for about ten minutes, visitors will find an open area with over a hundred monkeys roaming freely. There are also nice views down onto the city.
The day is not over! From here we'll visit Saga-Toriimoto Preserved Street. Much of this street along the way to the Adashino Nenbutsuji Temple has been preserved in the style of the Meiji Period (1868-1912).

The Fiji Islands in the South Pacific are an archipelago of over 333 islands packed with attractions that can be found no where else. Fiji has an unspoiled, unique environment of extreme beauty and tranquility.

We spend 3-nights on the mainland of Viti Levu at Denarau Island followed by 6-nights on Mololo Island (AKA Plantation Island). It's a perfect mix with a reasonable flight time and great accommodations.

Located in Nadi, Denarau Island is also a harbor that's very convenient for all of our tours, dining and nightlife. There are several amazing adventure tours in the jungle including 4x4 and jet boating, hiking to a great mud pool, cave and village and even zip lining. If you're anxious to scuba, then you can also arrange that while we're here in Denarau. On these mainland tours we will visit remote villages to meet the natives which makes for a very cool experience as the Fijians are the warmest people you will ever find. On our tours you will learn about their culture, ceremonies and beliefs. They will make us feel welcome with their kava ceremonies.

We'll be kicking this trip off with a bang by visiting Tivua Island for a day trip upon our arrival. Since we get in at dawn and our rooms won't be ready this is the perfect plan that we'll repeat from our last trip. This is the most idealic island of your dreams!

This amazing property is nestled on the 553 acre island of Malolo LaiLai, part of the Mamanuca Group of islands and is just 10 miles offshore. Malolo is renowned for its pristine white sandy beaches and crystal blue waters.

Besides snorkeling and diving, other activities include golfing, massage and even surfing. We will also offer an optional full day private island hopping tour that will take us to several idyllic, very picturesque islands. There's even a really fun tour we added last year to this awesome party-type barge called Cloud Nine sounded with a beautiful reef and now a second party barge called Seventh Heaven.
