With 7107 islands, many uninhabited and untouched, the Philippines offers a wealth of outdoor experiences for the intrepid traveler. Trekking, rock climbing, and hiking opportunities are abundant, from the rugged Cordillera of Luzon to the volcanic hills of Batanes. Kayakers can paddle around the karst cliffs of El Nido, while more relaxed travelers can take a leisurely float through virgin mangrove forests. With the world’s 2nd highest concentration of coral reefs, there is an abundance of world-class dive sites, including the famed Tubbataha Reef and the Japanese wrecks of Coron.

Global Nomad offers insider access to these sites and more, and makes special arrangements to achieve the highest level of comfort in remote locales.
