Philippines travel Q&A
Trying to combine Palawan, Cebu, Bohol and Siargao without backtracking.
A common low-backtrack route: fly into Manila → Palawan (El Nido + Coron) → fly to Cebu → ferry to Bohol → fly Cebu to Siargao → fly out via Cebu/Manila. Group by region to minimise flights. Try our Island Route Builder at /route — it shows real ferry/flight legs with cost and time between each stop.
