Island hopping in Palawan
This Philippine province of 1,780 islands recently grabbed international travel headlines when it topped the World's Best Islands list of US title Travel & Leisure this year. Palawan even beat the more popular party paradise of Boracay.
In Palawan, there are more stretches of white sandy beaches to discover and Funbassadors will get to experience a guided island hopping tour around Honda Bay. Just an hour out of the Palawan capital, Honda Bay is home to several islands where you can swim, snorkel, dig your toes into the creamy, soft sand, and enjoy an island lunch.
A trip to Palawan won't be complete without heading off to the longest underground navigable river, thePuerto Princesa Subterranean River National Park. In the past few years, with the tourist boom, it's been very accessible and safe for tourists. Caving gets a different take as winners get a guided boat tour of this natural wonder of cave chambers and limestone formations.
Nature tripping in Bohol
From Palawan, winners will be flown to Bohol, an island province that boasts two of the country's famous natural wonders. A guided tour will take you to the Chocolate Hills, where from an elevated deck one could see the bizarrely beautiful landscape of hundreds of limestone mounds that turn chocolate brown in the summer.
