Overview

See Philippines from the water and from the ground. This 6-night trip pairs a cruise leg with land nights across Manila · Palawan · Cebu, so you wake up in a new port without repacking, and still get proper time ashore at El Nido island-hopping, Palawan and Boracay White Beach. Cabin, excursions and port transfers are all arranged.

Nov – May is the sweet spot for Philippines (Southeast Asia), and we plan departures from Surat around it — flights via Mumbai or Ahmedabad, 4★ hotel + cruise cabin hotels locked in writing, and this itinerary from ₹76,999 per person on twin sharing.

Explera's Surat desk runs the whole journey end to end — flights, stays, transfers, guided sightseeing, Philippines visa assistance and insurance — with a written day-by-day plan before you pay and a human on call 24/7 while you travel. Every departure is fully customisable to your dates, budget and travellers.

★★★★★4.9/5· 903+ reviews
★★★★★
Manila was our first big trip and Explera made it stress-free — visa guidance, forex tips, a sensible day plan and a driver who knew the area. Came back with amazing memories and zero complaints.

Ami Shah

Vadodara · First trip abroad

★★★★★
Fantastic anniversary trip. The Manila package was customised to our dates and budget, the 4★ hotel + cruise cabin were lovely, and they even rebooked one activity when the weather changed. Five stars.

Darshan Savani

Rajkot · Anniversary trip

★★★★★
Great value for a 6-night Manila trip. Clear communication before travel, GST invoice for our records, and genuine 24/7 support. This is how a holiday should be planned.
