Hi all,
I'm going to plan my vacation to the Philippines as a combo package of 16 days between nature wild life and diving resort. Do you know any trustworthy local travel agency to suggest that I can contact to arrange all the tour? I'll fly from Italy to Manila by myself.
Once there, any suggestion on the itinerary?
Thank you very much
Giovanni

We have stayed and dived with Sea Explorers who have dive shops in several locations. They can do two or three centre trips plus transfers. We were extremely happy with them....their website and FB page contains all of the details. Our favorite island was Malapascua.
 
i can't recommend any agencies to take care of your planning like this, but i suggest you get moving on this quickly. the days before christmas and the week between christmas and new year is a particularly busy time to travel in philippines, and places fill quickly.
i'll pass your request along to a trusted local who might be able to point you in the right direction.
 
"Nature wild life and diving resort"
That is really difficult.
Philippine Eagle in Mt. Apo is the only one I can think of but that require couple of days of trekking. You can dive around Davao and General Santos afterwards.
If you can scale down the wild life but keep the nature part then Camiguin Island is high on the list. However, diving is NOT that great around the island. But if you love outdoor eg. cycling and hiking then this is the place. This island has 7 volcanoes.
 
a friend in manila has suggested manila based sarangani diver travel. i've never used them so can't vouch. but fees for hotels, travel, etc are paid directly to providers, and that at least is a plus. good luck.

Thank you for all suggestions. I'm struggling to get confirmation for my flight but I'll persist

If I have to come to Philippines during your suggested period(Christmas and New year) I would have bought the ticket at least 6 months ahead or even earlier.

Good luck.

Totally agree, they can also arrange the entire package starting from local domestic airport (cebu, tagbilaran or dumaguete), transfers between resorts, dive package, accomodation etc. . On their website you can find the contact details.
