Trip to the Philippines with Kids - Our Highlights

As part of a family trip in the Philippines, we emphasize the importance of building an itinerary that suits the needs of all family members, both parents and children. We usually focus on shorter trips, as long journeys can be tiring for children in most cases. For trips to the northern regions, we strive to provide flights and a combination of shorter travel to the famous rice terraces (on days when flights are available). There, we also select tours tailored to different age groups to avoid strenuous walks for children.

On the road, we plan stops at suitable and convenient places for a short break and refreshment, and of course, we provide courteous drivers who will make your journey enjoyable.

The trips to the islands are usually all adapted for children, and of course, we offer a selection of fun attractions and tours that will provide every family with an unforgettable experience. A family trip to the Philippines without attractions is not a trip!

For families who love challenges, we have Jeepney tours in the Philippines (in various places). For example: special trips to the Mindoro Islands, Boracay Island, Palawan Island, and the northern Philippines. These tours combine visits to unique tribes, drives along beaches and mountains that are not accessible by cars, and even places where tourists rarely go.

A family trip to the Philippines – also with older children/teens

We offer ATV tours in the most unique destinations in the Philippines, whether it’s in the Mindoro Islands, Puerto Galera, or at the Pinatubo Volcano, where you’ll have the opportunity to explore these places using ATVs instead of off-road vehicles. On various islands, we provide ATV tours to the most famous destinations on each island. All our ATV tours are conducted by trained staff, equipped with well-maintained vehicles, and have been inspected by our office team.

So how do you plan a family trip?

 

One of our travel advisors from our team in Manila will work with you to create a customized itinerary tailored just for you. This plan will include attractions suitable for children, hiking routes with varying levels of difficulty suitable for both children and parents, experienced guides and assistant guides accustomed to working with groups, and assistance at every stage of the journey. Additionally, the vehicles provided will be comfortable for long journeys during the trips.

The office team has been living in the Philippines for many years, immersed in the Filipino culture, and has a deep understanding of the country. They are well-equipped to advise on every step of the journey. Additionally, the local team has extensive experience, having conducted thousands of tours over the years, and will provide a quick and professional response to any inquiry.

 

  • In the context of family trips to the Philippines, we focus on destinations and tours that provide solutions for a wide age range and a broad range of interests as much as possible.For example, on the island of Luzon, your children can enjoy trips to historical sites while using bamboo bikes, tours with the help of a Segway, which can add more fun for kids who are less interested in the history of the place, and provide quality time for the family at sites with a different character.
  • In the northern Philippines, you will have the opportunity to ride the “jeepneys,” which are similar to the old American military vehicles and are widely used here in the Philippines. The jeepney will be entirely yours, and you won’t have to share it with anyone, allowing you to travel comfortably and in a “family” setting.
  • During the island-hopping tours, we use spacious boats designed for both small and large families. You’ll have the opportunity to enjoy meals on the islands or in the middle of the sea with special local dishes.

Each family trip to the Philippines includes unique experiences located near the main destinations. So, right after the exciting attraction with your family, you can easily and quickly reach the leisure area.

In the islands, you’ll have the opportunity to enjoy a variety of water sports suitable for all ages, from kayaking and special sea excursions to banana boating, jet skiing, and even scuba diving with a helmet. We offer special one-day to multi-day kayak tours that combine snorkeling, swimming, accommodation in unique places, and encounters with locals in various destinations.

A family trip to the Philippines combines not only attractions and fun on the beaches but also an effort to immerse you in Filipino culture, local cuisine, and breathtaking landscapes that you can only experience at the destinations we visit.

You can plan a trip with children in the Philippines for a few days or even longer trips lasting several weeks, depending on your preferences. From time to time, we receive requests for father and son trips, mother and daughter trips, and even trips for multiple generations of fathers and sons, for which we tailor trips to suit their style and character.

Frequently asked questions

Is the Philippines a good family vacation destination with kids?

Yes. The Philippines suits families because islands like Bohol, Boracay and Palawan combine calm beaches, short boat days and English-speaking guides. Tourismo Filipino, a Manila-based DMC since 2010, plans private family trips only, with your own vehicle and guide, shorter travel legs and child-friendly pacing. Email [email protected] or call +63-917-175-6678.

Which Philippine beaches are best for families?

For families we usually suggest Boracay's Station 1 or Station 3 on White Beach, Panglao in Bohol, and resort beaches around El Nido. These bases have calmer water in the dry months, short transfers and plenty of food choices. November to May is generally the more reliable window for beach and boat days.

Is the Philippines safe for kids?

Most family visitors have trouble-free trips on the main tourist routes such as Manila, Bohol, Boracay and Palawan. A private trip adds a layer of care: one driver and guide, no shared vans, and pacing planned around naps and heat. Check your government's travel advice for current regional guidance before booking.

What does a Philippines itinerary with kids look like?

A family itinerary usually starts with one or two nights in Manila, then one or two island bases of three to five nights each, such as Bohol and Boracay. We keep transfer days short, mix one activity day with one beach day, and use domestic flights rather than long road legs where flights exist.

Any tips for travelling the Philippines with toddlers?

Choose fewer bases and longer stays, so toddlers are not packing every two days. Book morning flights and boat trips before the midday heat, carry cash for smaller islands, and bring sun protection and any baby essentials you rely on. Private transfers let you stop whenever you need, and child car seats are available on request.

Do you organise private family trips for large or multi-generation groups?

Yes. Tourismo Filipino plans private family trips for groups of any size, from parents with one child to multi-generation reunions. Every trip is private and custom: we never mix families into joined or shared tours. Vehicles, rooms and guides are sized to your group. Email [email protected] or call +63-917-175-6678.
