The Philippines is one of Singaporean's favourite travel destinations and it's easy to understand why once you look at the photos. Less than four hours away from Singapore, Philippines provides Singaporeans a respite from city life with crystal clear water, fluffy clouds and vast blue skies. Island hopping is a great way to discover new secret spots; however, the recent closure of Boracay pushed travellers, divers and photography enthusiasts to seek new islands — one that's as accessible and as beautiful as the beloved Boracay.

1) Siargao Island

Ride the waves in Siargao Island, the surfing capital of Philippines. Although the island only is a short ferry or flight away from Cebu City, Siargao pretty much explored — for now. Plan your holiday ASAP before an island as photogenic as Siargao gets populated.

2) Camiguin Island

Pristine beaches and lush jungles surrounding a volcanic island — how does it get better than this? Camiguin is the second smallest province in Philippines yet it offers tourists a perfect blend of off-the-beaten-path and tourist attractions. Whether you're looking to chill or party your stress away, Camiguin has both private resorts to exciting nightlife ready for you.

3) Bohol

Of course, how can we miss out Bohol? Bohol has always been a family favourite; ask any beach lover about island hopping in Philippines they'll recommend Bohol as part of your itinerary. Just look at that stunning sunset! Bohol is also home to exotic creatures like tarsier, one of the world's smallest primate.


With so many islands around Philippines, one is bound to get lost without a proper guide, especially if it's your first trip to the Philippines. To make the most of your time and holiday, I recommend you get a tour guide like https://philippinestravelpackage.com, which specialises in planning tours around Philippines for both seasoned and first time travellers.
