Many Islands Itinerary

• Day 1: After landing in Manila, take a few hours to settle down or take a nap to get over your journey before a transfer to Naga in the south east of Luzon in the Bicol region starting in the evening aboard a luxury air conditioned bus.

• Day 2: A morning arrival at Naga will be started off with a drop off at your hotel - the Camsur Watersports Complex (CWC). Naga City in Camarines Sur province is about 450 kilometres south of Manila and a 9 hr-drive from Manila. Located in the Bicol region, the area is generally hilly and mountainous with a flat central area known as the Bicol plain. Mt. Isarog with an elevation of 1, 976 metres and Mt. Iriga at 1,196 metres are also present. Naga City boasts one of the most modern wake boarding facilities and just a few hours away is the Caramoan Peninsula, a rugged finger of land extending into the waters of the Maqueda Channel. Notable are several islands with white sandy beaches and towering marble cliffs just off the coast. In the afternoon you can take a wakeboarding clinic. Overnight in Naga.

Day 3: After breakfast you can enjoy more wakeboarding activities. Then in the afternoon you're driven to Legazpi in Albay province (½ hours). You check into your hotel then proceed on a tour of Legazpi including a visit to the Cagsawa Ruins, Lingnon Hill and Pili farm. Overnight in Lagazpi.

• Day 4: Transfer to jump off point. Mt. Mayon volcano is one of the 11 active volcanoes in the Philippines and is known as a perfect cone volcano. Beautifully symmetrical, Mayon which rises to 2,462 m above the Albay Gulf is the Philippines' most active volcano. The structurally simple volcano has steep upper slopes averaging 35-40 degrees that are capped by a small summit crater. The historical eruptions of this basaltic-andesitic volcano date back to 1616 and range from strombolian to basaltic plinian, with cyclical activity beginning with basaltic eruptions, followed by longer term andesitic lava flows. Eruptions occur predominately from the central conduit and have also produced lava flows that travel far down the flanks. Pyroclastic flows and mudflows have commonly swept down many of the approximately 40 ravines that radiate from the summit and have often devastated populated lowland areas. Mayon's most violent eruption, in 1814, killed more than 1200 people and devastated several towns. The first part of the climb is a 5-hour trek to the base camp. Camp lunch and dinner. Tent accommodation. (Breakfast, Lunch, Dinner included) Overnight in camp accommodation on Mt Mayon.

Day 5: After having a camp breakfast we then commence the trek to the peak. After reaching the peak there is the descent to Legazpi city with a transfer back to the hotel with the rest of your day free. Overnight in Legazpi.

• Day 6: After breakfast and a transfer to the airport you fly to Tagbilaran on Bohol island and transfer to the resort of Panglao Island just off the west coast of Bohol connected by a bridge. Overnight on Panglao.

• Day 7: After breakfast you depart the resort for a full days countryside tour. The tour begins with an easy drive along the coastal road making the first stop at the Blood Compact Marker (a monument of friendship between the Spanish colonisers and the local tribes). Then continue to the oldest Catholic Church in the Philippines, the Baclayon Church. You then stop off at Loboc to see tarsiers in a wildlife sanctuary. From the coastal road, the drive takes an uphill climb through an impressive manmade forest leading to the town of Carmen where nearby lie the "Chocolate Hills", which are hundreds of hills whose colours change from green to brown during summer, thus the 'chocolate' term. You then proceed to one of the hills offering a vista to see all the others rising from the surrounding valley floor. You'll then be driven back to Loboc and board the floating restaurant for a cruise of Loay River with lunch. You then return to the resort on Panglao. Overnight on Panglao.

• Day 8: Early morning coffee or tea at the resort. Board the motorized boat for dolphin watching. Full breakfast on board the boat. (and we mean full folks!)

Picnic and lunch are served returning to Panglao in the afternoon. Overnight on Panglao.
