Examples of the
Philippine tips & insights
you will learn in my guide

Banaue Rice Terraces
The ideal period to visit is winter to early spring. Low lying clouds can obscure the slopes during the summer-and-fall rainy season. And landslides can block roads (particularly in July and August).
Pamalican Island
This high-end resort island is about one hour from Manilla by air service. This is the only way for guests to get in and out, which enhances the isolation appeal.
Tubbataha Reef
Most divers book a berth on a live-aboard dive boat. The tour is typically 5 nights and 6 days. Space is limited. Demand is high. Usually, you must book months ahead.
