Philippines Travel Guide
Kumusta 🙂 We're Chris and Bec (@salt.and.charcoal). As full time travellers who have spent months living in the Philippines and hosting AMAZING group trips here, we created the ONLY Philippines guide you’ll ever need.
With 7,000+ islands to choose from the key is knowing WHEN to go, WHAT'S worth seeing and HOW to get around...
Plus, we help you SAVE MONEY.
The Philippines can get expensive if you don’t know what you’re doing... but so affordable if you do. 💵
With this guide you get immediate access to:
✅ How to get around: ferries, flights & sailing adventures (this will make or break your trip)
✅ 8+ tested itineraries + the best places to go
✅ FULL budget for transport, food & stays + money saving hacks
✅ Hidden islands, our favourite beaches, unforgettable tours, epic diving, the best food & more
✅ Lifetime access
We regularly travel and update this guide with new spots, and answers to your questions! ✨
