If you're heading here, make sure to check out Kayangan Lake, the Twin Lagoons, Barracuda Lake, and Smith Beach. If you're feeling extra adventurous, go diving/snorkeling to see Japanese shipwrecks. (Those ships sank due to an air-attack on the Imperial Japanese Navy during World War II.)

4. Cebu
There are a number of places to check out and things to do in Cebu. Apart from going on a historical tour to see churches, you can go to Oslob to swim with the whalesharks or go on an easy hike to see Tumalog Falls.

7. Subic
Channel your inner nature/adventurous girl when you go to Subic! Ride a horse at El Kabayo Stables, learn hardcore survival skills at Jungle-Environment Survival Training (JEST) Camp, and go trekking in the Pamulaklakin Forest Trail.

You can't go to Baler and not surf or take surfing lessons (if the weather and current are just right, that is). Aside from that, you gotta check out the 600-year-old balete tree at Balete Park, the Ditumabo Falls, and the Diguisit Rock Formations. There's also a lighthouse you can climb, and at the top you'll have an amazing view of Dicasalarin Cove.

10. Hawaii
If you're not interested in Hawaii beaches because you have great beaches here in the Philippines, check out Hawaii's volcanoes. It is, after all, a volcanic archipelago. There's the Haleakala, which makes up 75 percent of Maui Island. And there's the Hawaii Volcanoes National Park, where you'll find hiking trails to craters, rain forests, a museum, a walk-in lava tube, and two active volcanoes. Talk about having an adventure!
