Preface
Phe Philippines is an archipelago of seven thousand islands. Palawan in the west for the lagoons and the wreck-dives, Boracay in the centre for the white-sand sunsets, Cebu for the heritage. Three Palawan days, two Boracay, two for the second island. Best between November and April for the dry season; the typhoons blow through June to October.

A small note
on how we work.
6Years of routing the Philippines
2Routes, none repeated
12 / 24Hours we tend to reply within
Tibro has been routing the Philippines since 2019. Six years of Palawan lagoons, Boracay sunsets, and the three-island sweeps that travellers come back wanting to repeat.
We work with a Manila-based partner who handles the inter-island flights and the boat-day arrangements.
Two routes is what we currently maintain. The Palawan-and-Boracay eight-night is the most-requested; we route Palawan first because the lagoon mornings are the trip's loudest and the Boracay sunsets close it gently.
Warmly,
The Tibro studio , Mumbai, Manila (partner), El Nido (boat liaison)

Palawan & Boracay, eight nights, February 2024
Five Palawan nights split between El Nido and Coron, three Boracay. The Big Lagoon at six in the morning with a private boat was the trip's loudest silence. The only sounds were our paddles and the cormorants. The Boracay end was the right kind of slowing.

Three-island sweep, ten nights, November 2024
Palawan, Boracay, Cebu. Three different paces. The Cebu whale-shark morning at Oslob the studio routed with an ethical operator was the responsible-tourism note that mattered to us.
