Some of the most accessible tourist attractions in the Philippines are the various islands. Corregidor Island is one of the many places regarded as a must-see. It is the spot where American-Filipino soldiers fought to keep their land from the Japanese in World War II, so most of the island is devoted to that event. The main stops on this tour include the Lorcha Dock, Pacific War Memorial Museum, and Malinta Tunnel. Very much different from its war days, the island is nothing but peaceful and provides decent education on Filipino history and culture.
There are many educational day tours available in the Philippines. Some of the stops on these day tours could include a Filipino TV Studio, Manila Zoo, Eco Park, the lantern factory, Luneta Park, Nayong Filipino, and more. A total of three stops can be chosen for these day tours. They are a good way to learn about Filipino history while still experiencing the beauty and relaxation that the Philippines has to offer.
If neither of these options match up to your expectations, another option is to create your own tour. Even though some places in the Philippines do not offer guided tours, that does not mean that you cannot tour those places on your own. One of the many places to facilitate a self tour could be with the various ethnic tribes that inhabit the Filipino territories. There are many tribal villages within a short distance from the town of Davao. Another opportunity for self touring is the region of South Luzon, specifically Bicol. This volcanic region is known for its beauty and the good thing is that it is often neglected by tourists, so you will almost have the whole mountain range to yourself. There are also marine tours to see the numerous whale sharks in the village of Donsol.
