Trekking the Banaue Rice Terraces

Navigate the breathtaking terraces of Banaue with a local guide, learning about the ancient rice farming techniques that have shaped this UNESCO World Heritage site.

Our trip with Sundowner Holidays was unforgettable! We explored the rice terraces in Banaue, cruised the rivers of Palawan, and enjoyed island hopping around El Nido. The hotels were comfortable, the guides knowledgeable, and every connection was seamless. Highly recommended!

Laura and Mark Stevens, Philippines

We had an amazing family adventure in the Philippines! Bohol’s Chocolate Hills and tarsier sanctuaries were incredible, and we loved snorkelling and diving in Cebu. The excursions were well planned, the guides friendly, and the hotels perfect for relaxing after busy days.

Rachel and Tom Davis, Philippines

Sundowner Holidays made our Philippines trip effortless and fun! We island-hopped around Coron, kayaked through lagoons, and soaked up the sun on Siargao’s beaches. The accommodations were excellent, the guides attentive, and every day was full of memorable experiences. We can't wait to book our next holiday.
