Explore the undiscovered pristine island paradises of the Philippines and Indonesia with pioneering small ship expedition cruise company Heritage Expeditions as you sail well off the traditional tourist route aboard their luxurious 140-guest expedition ship Heritage Adventurer.
Lying like pearls scattered across the equator the archipelagos of the Philippines and Indonesia`s undiscovered islands are the postcard definition of paradise where impossibly blue waves gently lap white sand beaches and friendly locals welcome you into their world, where primordial jungles and untouched coral reefs abound with astounding wildlife and myriad adventures await both above and below the water.
In addition to being among some of the most biodiverse regions on the planet and home to rare and endangered wildlife, these remote tropical outposts boast incredible history, heritage and ancient cultures. Escaping the tourist boom due to their hard-to-reach locations makes them perfect for exploration by expedition ship. Highlights of this Philippines and Indonesia cruise includes visiting the `Whale Shark Capital of the World` and swimming with the gentle giants and discovering the `eighth wonder of the world` on Bohol Island.
Discover one of the Philippines best kept secrets on Ticao Island where the towering Catandayagan Falls tumble down sheer stone cliffs into the ocean in a dramatic display of unrestrained nature. Delve into the fascinating history of the Spice Islands at Banda Neira and explore the iconic five-sided Fort Belgica built in 1611 and pending World Heritage Site status as well as the famed palace of the Sultan of Ternate.
At Tojoman Lagoon observe thousands of stingless jellyfish, look for the critically endangered Crested Black Macaque, known for their distinctive pink rumps and jet-black mohawks and the world`s smallest primate the saucer-eyed Tarsier at Bitung.
Marvel at the sacred, perfect cone of Mayon Volcano, explore the tropical paradise that is the Lease Islands which are largely undiscovered by modern travellers, snorkel pristine coral reefs, sample local delicacies and experience thrilling cultural exchanges at villages where traditional life continues unchanged.
Set sail where few have gone before and join Heritage Expeditions on an authentic expedition as you expedition cruise the untouched beauty of the Philippines and Indonesia on this unforgettable voyage.
