25 February – Friday 5 March 2027
Let’s go to the Philippines! It’s one of my favourite places – I love the crystal clear white sand beaches, the stunning blue waterfalls, the ubiquitous palm trees and the aqua water where you can spot turtles and so many fish!
The people are incredibly friendly, the food is fabulous and a holiday here means you settle into island life where everything is slow and easy, and you relax as you enjoy nature and exploring at your own pace.
On this trip we will visit Cebu and the mystical island of Siquijor, both full of stunning waterfalls, palm trees and gorgeous beaches.
In Cebu we will stay in Moalboal and climb up waterfalls and canyoneer down them, swing from ropes and snorkel with turtles and schools of millions of sardines.
In Siquijor we will stay at our favourite resort, Coco Grove Beach Resort, and snorkel in its marine sanctuary, visit the stunning Cambugahay Falls, float through the underground river at Sambuluwan, and watch the most stunning sunsets every night.
We will have lots of time for rest and for play. I can’t wait! Numbers are limited to 10 so please grab your spot through

Everything is organised for you – so you have time to chill and play.
Once you land in Cebu just about everything is included in your trip. From airport transfers to meals (as listed) and accommodation, and all our fabulous activities and transport. All you’ll have to bring is spending money for shopping or anything extra you want to do, and for drinks and snacks you may want to buy. You can find a full list of the inclusions below.
This is going to be a really freeing trip. I want us all to enjoy nature and the ocean, the power of the waterfalls and the views from the top of mountains.
But most of all I want us to have FUN. Lots of laughs and getting out of our comfort zones with a supportive bunch of women.
We’re staying in two beautiful hotels just footsteps from the beach – and Coco Grove Resort in Siqujor is one of our absolute favourites. I know you’re going to love it.
I’ve organised lots of fun activities to do together, and if you love palm trees, waterfalls, the outdoors and beautiful beaches this is the trip for you.
When to arrive?
Day 1 of our trip is arrival day, and day 2 we depart for Moalboal. You can come in earlier if you like but make sure to arrive on day 1 – and be in time for the welcome dinner! Note that you fly into Cebu and out of Dumaguete.

When you travel with us, The Intrepid Foundation gives you more opportunities to support important causes in destinations you visit.
1. Complimentary airport arrival and departure transfers are included. You must provide your flight details to your booking agent at least 14 days prior to travel.
2. A single supplement is available if you’d prefer not to share a room on this trip. The single supplement applies to all nights of your trip and is subject to availability. Please speak to your booking agent for further information.
3. Entry to Bhutan is very strict and travellers can only enter Bhutan on a group visa as part of a tour. All travellers must arrive on Day 1 and depart on Day 11 to be eligible for a group visa. At time of booking, please provide your booking agent with a scanned colour copy of your passport, a scanned colour passport photo.
4. The Sustainable Development Fee, charged by the government of Bhutan, is included in your trip price.
5. Please provide your full name exactly as per passport at the time of booking (including any middle names listed on your passport). Fees may apply for adding or amending details within 60 days of departure, and in some cases you will be required to cover the cost of issuing new tickets.
6. All flights to and from Bhutan are operated by a Bhutanese national carrier which fly direct to several cities within Asia/Middle East. It is not uncommon for these airlines to make last minute changes to their flight timetables or be subject to delays. Therefore, it is recommended that you allow plenty of transit time both before your connecting flight to Bhutan, and after your flight from Bhutan ahead of your onward flight connection.

Hotel (8 nights), Guesthouse (2 night)
The style of accommodation indicated in the day-to-day itinerary is a guideline only and may change. On some occasions, alternative arrangements may need to be made due to the lack of availability of rooms in our preferred accommodation. In these cases, we will use a similar standard of accommodation.
Throughout the trip, we request that our properties prepare rooms in time for our arrival, especially if we’re arriving prior to normal check-in time. However, this isn’t always possible which means we won’t be able to check-in immediately on arrival at some hotels. Instead, we can store our luggage and explore our new destination or on some trips, have use of shared day rooms until all rooms are available.
