Going on trips with your barkada, catching up with their lives and creating new memories is a great way to relieve stress. The possibilities and destinations are endless whether you go local or international, and with GetGo’s newest Points Booster Promo, traveling anywhere is definitely easier!
Here are 8 exciting trips you should add to your barkada travel bucket list:
Hanging out at Marina Bay Sands at night or visiting Universal Studios might be on the top of your Singapore bucket list but before all that, why not allot a day to discover Singapore at a slow pace? Rent an electric scooter through Klook and whiz through the city’s key sites: Gardens by the Bay, Marina Bay Sands, Singapore Flyer, and more. Who knows, you might even discover quaint stores and cafes that will be your barkada’s own little secret.
Break away from the city for a weekend and spend a little extra time catching up with your friends at Pico Sands Hotel in Batangas. Staycations give you time to relax and enjoy your surroundings while bonding with your friends. At Pico Sands Hotel, you can enjoy various water sports and ball sports activities, or even have a spa session, all while appreciating the scenic view of the beach and mountain.
The Philippines’ Ifugao Rice Terraces are recognized as a UNESCO World Heritage Site. Hiking with Trail Adventours lets you get a glimpse on the life and culture of the Ifugaos, meet locals, walk through the amphitheater-like Batad rice terraces, and swim in the cold and clean waters of the Tappiyah Waterfalls at the end of the day.
Can’t decide where to go? Let Experience Philippines decide for you! This local travel startup dares you to travel differently with their revolutionary travel concept ‘Random Road Trips’ where your destination is a secret and the lineup of activities is a surprise. They also organize trips according to your preference: Singles Road Trip, Pet Road Trip, Senior Citizen, etc. The road trips usually span 3-4 days, enough to let your hair down and enjoy the ride.
Tokyo is a bustling mega city that has so much to offer from culture, shopping, food, to attractions. If it’s your first time visiting, on top of the tourist spots in your bucket list, you and your friends might want to visit Instagrammable museums unique only to Tokyo. teamLab Borderless is a world-class digital interactive museum where you can roam different rooms and see the art change color, move, mingle with visitors, and communicate with other works. It’s definitely a must visit!
The Philippines boasts picturesque beaches and breathtaking natural wonders you won’t see anywhere else in the world. Book a flight to Busuanga and see these islands firsthand or discover a new side of Coron – underwater. There’s nothing like the thrill of diving colorful reefs, swimming with the fishes and turtles, or diving huge historic ship wrecks. It’s sure to be a memorable adventure with your barkada!
Watch the trees sway while seemingly on fire with their orange and red petals in Jeju during autumn, it’s the best time of the year to visit! Explore the island and discover tons of places to take IG-worthy pics from buckwheat fields to the tall Eulalia grass in Saebyeol Oreum. Autumn in South Korea is also a must-see. The streets are littered with gorgeous leaves and it certainly gives a happier mood to your street-food hunting and cosmetics shopping.
Face your fear and dive into the depths of Dubai’s 10-million litre tank! Experience the thrill of a lifetime swimming with Sand Tiger sharks, the largest collection in the world, while the Zoo’s other visitors watch you. This might go against every shark movie you’ve ever seen but Shark Dive at Dubai Aquarium is done in a controlled environment and enlists a Dive Master and Dive Instructor so it’s a guaranteed safe adventure. You can’t pass this opportunity up!
