Embark on the adventure of a lifetime with a 9 day, 1,300km / 810 miles bike tour. Travel coastal highways, hugging pristine shores, over volcanic lahars to the breathtaking beauty of Hundred Islands and on to the historic city of Vigan. The tour will conclude with a 2 day ride in the mountains as you experience the true heart of the Philippines.
Pick up from Manila International Airport or your Manila Hotel and bring you up to XPLR PH HQ in scenic Tagaytay. Sitting at about 600–700 meters above sea level, Tagaytay is famous for its stunning views of Taal Volcano, one of the smallest active volcanoes in the world, located within Taal Lake.
Here you will complete the paperwork, participate in a safety briefing and get your merchandise kit. After this you will be introduced to your bikes and take a brief ride around the surrounding area to get acquainted with your new steed, then we’ll check you in to your accommodation.
The day will conclude with dinner and an early night in readiness for an early start in the morning.
From your Tagaytay accommodation we ride down to Taal Lake taking-in the incredible views of the Taal volcano. We will join the southern expressway and take the Skyway over the top of Manila onto the northern expressway.
Leaving the expressway at San Fernando we will detour along the Mega Dike Access Road and enjoy lunch at a local eatery before continuing up the northwest coast of Luzon. We travel through the province of Zambales, over volcanic lahars and on to our beachside accommodation.
After a delicious breakfast taking-in the sea air we will head north, maybe stopping at a roadside bamboo cafe such as Kopi Kubo, or a local fruit vendor to enjoy some fresh mango, coconut or rambutan.
Lunch will taken on the river at “The Deck” before visiting Stephen at the “The Red Baron Bar & Vintage Motorbike” establishment.
We will rest our heads for the night in Alaminos the gateway to the majestic Hundred Islands National Park. Dinner will be taken overlooking the waters of the Hundred Islands.
The Hundred Islands National Park is a famous island-hopping and eco-tourism destination. It consists of 124 islands at low tide and 123 at high tide, spread across 1,844 hectares in the Lingayen Gulf.
We will take a local boat (bangka) and enjoy a full day exploring the largely deserted islands, allowing plenty of time to swim and snorkel, or just sunbath on the pristine white sand.
Today is one of the longer rides on the tour so we will set off early, initially heading east along the coast then turning north. We travel through the provinces of Pangasinan, La Union (pronounced La Onion) and Ilocos Sur to the UNESCO World Heritage historic city of Vigan. Here we will settle into our accommodation before exploring the cobbled streets of this beautiful town.
Dinner will be taken at the majestic Calle Crisologo, a short but famous cobbled street lined with preserved Spanish-era mansions, antique shops, and horse-drawn carriages (kalesas).
Today we head back south for a while before turning east to climb up into the mountains, stopping at the Quirino Skyline View Deck to wonder at the spectacular view. Once rested we will continue to tackle the never-ending twisties until we reach Sagada our destination for two nights.
Here we will have a free day to allow you to explore the Banaue Rice Terraces, another UNESCO World Heritage Site, or the world famous Hanging Coffins, or visit Apo Whang‑Od, the country’s most renowned traditional tattoo artist (mambabatok), born in 1917 and still practicing into her 100s, or any of the other local attractions and activities.
On paper this looks like a short ride, but when you factor-in the endless twisties and numerous photo opportunities, the journey will take the whole day.
Highlights include the 2nd Highest point on the Philippine Highway System, the Half Tunnel, Flower Farm & delicious lunch stop.
Then on to Baguio, the Summer Capital of the Philippines, so called because of its cool climate, pine-covered hills, vibrant arts scene, and rich colonial history.
We travel out of Baguio down the spectacular Kennon Road to pick-up the expressway and head south to finish our tour in Manila.
After checking-in to our city accommodation we will partake in a few well-earned cold beers at Handlebar Bar & Grill, the famous biker’s hangout in Makati.
