Day 2 Exploring historic Manila
Exploring the city's historic quarters by handcrafted bamboo bicycle offers a lively and engaging way to experience the capital, allowing you to move easily through narrow streets, hidden alleyways and key landmarks that are often missed on foot or by car. Led by an expert local guide, the route brings together Manila's most important historical sites with stories that illuminate its layered colonial past and vibrant modern identity. The bamboo bikes themselves are handmade by artisans from Gawad Kalinga communities in the Philippines, meaning your ride not only adds an element of fun and flexibility to the experience, but also directly supports the local villages behind their creation. At the end of the tour you will be transferred back to your hotel for a relaxing afternoon enjoying the swimming pool and spa, or perhaps venturing out to do a bit of shopping.

Day 3 Hiking at Mount Pinatubo
Today's adventure begins in striking fashion with a helicopter lift-off directly from your hotel, soaring above the dramatic landscape of Mount Pinatubo and its luminous crater lake. Touching down at the designated jump-off point, you'll transfer to a 4x4 for a 90-minute drive across vast lahar fields - the otherworldly plains of ash and hardened mud left behind by the volcano's powerful 1991 eruption. From the trailhead, a private guide leads you on a rewarding hike towards the crater rim, where sweeping views reveal the scale and rugged beauty of the landscape. The day concludes on a gentler note in Pampanga, widely regarded as the culinary heart of the Philippines. Dinner at a local restaurant showcases distinctive regional flavours and the best dishes to try in the region. You will then be driven the short journey to Clark for the night.

At the gorge, join your private guide for a guided walk through sculpted rock formations and river-carved passages. Continue your journey to the Puning Hot Springs, where soothing geothermal pools and spa treatments provide a wonderful opportunity to unwind after the morning's activities.
