Philippines Travel Guide 2026: Places to Visit and Filipino Culture
The Philippines has more than 7,000 islands, and most trips between them are made by plane or boat. The dry season runs from late November to May. From June to October the risk of rain and typhoons rises, so plan a trip for the dry months.
Places to visit
- Bohol: the Chocolate Hills, and the forest where tarsiers live.
- Loboc River: river cruises with a meal on board, on Bohol.
- El Nido: Bacuit Bay on Palawan, ringed by limestone cliffs.
Planning tips
Flights between islands can be delayed by the weather, so leave generous connection times. Sun protection is needed on beaches and boats. In typhoon season, take out travel insurance and keep the plan flexible.
MBD Travel and trip notes
MBD Travel has 3 tours in the Philippines, of 10 to 11 nights, and 16 hotels. All three pass through Bohol, Loboc and El Nido. Turkish Airlines flies from Istanbul to Manila without a stop; check the current schedule. Entry rules depend on your passport, so confirm them with an official source before you travel.
