Philippines: Activities

The Santa Barbara Golf Course in Iloilo province was established in 1908 and the Americans, enthusiastic about the game, have promoted golf ever since in Zamboanga province in Mindanao and Intramuros in Manila. Today the Philippines has some of the finest golf courses in the world with more than 50 courses across the archipelago.

Philippine waters attract growing numbers of scuba divers and most resorts are well-equipped with modern diving equipment. Facilities for water skiing, jet skiing, windsurfing, hobie-cat sailing, kayaking and other water sports are also available.

For nature lovers there's mountain climbing, bird-watching, cave exploration and photo safaris, while history buffs can visit museums, centuries-old monuments and churches spread across the country.
