Where to travel for a short vacation in philippines?

Question

Hi, I would like to take a break for 4 days in Philippines, any recommendation on where to go? Like nature and outdoor activities... no so much of city tour and shopping.

Answer 1

try to go here in koronadal city.. our city is not a big city and its not even an independent city.. its the capital of south cotabato... don't worry its not very chaotic here in our place.. the war that you here from news is in north cotabato which is far from here... before you reach koronadal you can ride an airplane via gensan (1 hr travel to koronadal) or davao (4hrs travel to koronadal) then ride a bus or van to koronadal... here's the site>>>

Answer 2

4 days is not long and you didn't mention what airport you are flying into. Assuming you are flying into Manila I would recommend heading either to Pagsanjan falls in Laguna, There is a great Nature park in Bicol, You could do the Hike up mount Pinatubo in Pampanga or head to the rice terraces in Banaue. There are many nice outdoor areas and parks but getting much further than those location and back in 4 days is stretching it.

Answer 3

Why will u be there?  Are u a die hard diver, hiker, camper, military historian, etc.  Do u go there just to have s*x?  

I'd recommend Bohol for the hiker nature lover, and I'd recommend Palawan for the Diver, and I'd recommend Angeles city for the s*x seeker, and of course Cebu or Boracay for the person who wants to lay on a beach and sip Margaritas, and of course Manila for 90% of the travelers.  From Manila u can do a day to Intramurous, a night to Malate and on the boardwalk, a day shopping at Mall of Asia, and a night on the town, as well as a day at the Luneta area.  I usually recommend hotels in Ermita and Malate area of Manila if there.  If u go to Cebu just stay at Shangra-la and enjoy.  

Answer 4

If you're in for beaches and the hot sun, try Palawan or Boracay. For outdoor activities and nature, you can always go to Baguio, Cebu, Bohol or Laguna.

Answer 5

You can visit Cebu. The airport is situated in Mactan island wherein you can experience a lot of outdoor activities (mostly watersports). The beaches are great and you can enjoy an ice cold drink while basking in the sun.  

Answer 6

You have unlimited choices.  For 4 days in nature I would go to Busuanga/Coron, Palawan.

Answer 7

Batanes group of islands, a province in the northern most part of the Philippines is a good choice to visit especially if you want a quiet place to relax. Crime rate is very low there and a very nice scenery. Like the green hills in the movie "Sound of Music" and the nice sound produced by the waves and breezes of the pacific ocean. Von Voyage!

Answer 8

I agree with Shiawase, visit Mactan, Cebu (Little Miami of P.I.) or perhaps Panglao in Bohol (The next Boracay of P.I.) where you can enjoy the value for your money. I'm pretty sure you would regret why you only booked a 4 day holiday.  

Answer 9

subic bay should be at the top of your list of possible locations, great wreck diving, nice beaches, jungle activities like hiking and survival training,great nightlife both for general audiences and some "adult" only, wide range of hotels and resorts, easy to reach from Manila and only 45 minutes from the DMIA airport at clark which has budget flights to nearby countries.

Answer 11

Coron, Palawan or Camiguin Island. From the capital Manila you have to book a flight to the provinces. But ask your travel agent for a good resort recommendation.
