Experiences

Island hopping, diving, surfing, street food and the small moments that make a trip.

Pacific swells in Siargao, gentle beach breaks in La Union, and waves somewhere almost all year if you follow the seasons.

A day on a bangka, hopping between lagoons, sandbars and reefs, is the classic Philippine trip. Here is how to do it well and safely.

Cheap, loud and gloriously decorated: the jeepney is the classic Filipino ride. Here is how to use one with confidence.

Sour, salty, sweet and smoky: the dishes every visitor should try, and where they taste best.

Turtles, sardine storms, thresher sharks and Second World War wrecks: some of the richest seas on the planet.
