Chocolate Hills
Depending on the departure path, catch a glimpse of Bohol's famous conical karst formations.
Marinduque Island
The distinct, heart-shaped island known for its volcanic geography and the Boac Cathedral.
Mount Banahaw
The majestic, 2,170-meter active volcano that dominates the landscape of Quezon and Laguna provinces.
Laguna de Bay
The Philippines' largest lake, offering a scenic transition into the dense urban sprawl of Metro Manila.
