Philippines Holidays from the UK
Over 7,000 islands, and no two trips the same. We build Philippines holidays around how you actually want to travel — whether that is two weeks island-hopping through Palawan, a family visit home to the provinces, or a first trip that takes in Manila, Cebu and a beach to finish.

Why book your Philippines trip with us
We are a UK-based agency and our team knows the Philippines personally, not just from a brochure. That matters when you are connecting from Manila to a domestic flight, a ferry and a tricycle to reach a small island — the sort of detail that turns a good itinerary into one that actually works. We speak English and Tagalog, we understand balikbayan travel and family visits, and we are contactable in UK hours.
Where to go
Palawan — El Nido and Coron, limestone cliffs and lagoons; the classic island-hopping trip.
Boracay — White Beach, easy flights, best for a straightforward beach week.
Cebu & Bohol — diving, waterfalls, whale sharks at Oslob, the Chocolate Hills.
Siargao — surfing and a slower pace.
Manila — Intramuros, food, and the gateway for onward domestic flights.
When to travel
The dry season runs roughly November to April and is the most reliable time for island-hopping and beaches. Late December to early January and Holy Week are peak — book early, especially for domestic flights. The wetter months bring lower prices and fewer crowds, but the typhoon season broadly runs June to November, so we plan those trips with more flexibility built in.
Getting there
There is currently no non-stop service from the UK to Manila; almost all routings connect once, typically through the Gulf or Asia, with a total journey time of around 15 to 17 hours. We book the connection that suits you — shortest total time, a longer layover to break the trip, or the airline you collect miles with — and we handle the domestic legs so your bags and timings line up.
Frequently asked questions
Do UK passport holders need a visa for the Philippines?
British passport holders can normally enter the Philippines visa-free for up to 30 days as a tourist, provided your passport is valid for at least six months beyond your stay and you hold an onward or return ticket. Longer stays can be extended in the country. Always check the latest guidance before you travel, as entry rules change.
How long is the flight from London to Manila?
There are no non-stop flights at present. With one connection, expect roughly 15 to 17 hours in total depending on the routing and layover.
When is the best time to visit the Philippines?
November to April is the dry season and the safest bet for beaches and island-hopping. December to early January is busiest.
Can you arrange domestic flights and island transfers?
Yes. Domestic flights, ferries and private transfers are where most Philippines itineraries go wrong. We book them as part of the trip so the connections actually work.
Do you help with family and balikbayan trips?
Yes. Extra baggage, multi-city routings and flexible return dates are very common on family trips home, and we plan around them.

Kausapin mo kami — talk to a person
Tell us where home is, roughly when you want to travel, who is going and what you are carrying, and we will come back with real options and the total price including bags. If it is easier for a parent or grandparent to explain the dates themselves, put them on with us — we do that every week.
