10 Instagram Photos to Inspire Your Next Philippines Adventure
The Philippines has effortlessly made its way to the top of my “favorite countries to visit” list for many reasons. I spent a total of three and a half weeks in this tropical paradise, and after it was all over, I only wished for more time to explore the country. There’s a reason why #itsmorefuninthephilippines is a famous hashtag on Instagram and phrase among Filipino locals and its happy visitors.
On top of the Philippines being a fun and exciting country to visit, the country is also an Instagrammer’s dream! The whole country is beautiful, with so many nooks and crannies to discover.
With the thousands of majestic waterfalls with Gatorade blue water, all the white, powdery sand beaches, to the lagoons of massive limestone rocks, an Instagram photographer will never be bored. Or be without a good photo to show off to friends and family back home.
There are so many Instagrammable spots in the Philippines that narrowing it down to just ten is a challenge. But on that note, here are ten of my favorite Instagram photos of the Philippines to inspire your natural wanderlust!
1. Sunsets in Oslob, Cebu
One of the first places we visited was the quiet little town of Oslob on the island of Cebu. One thing I distinctly remember from this area is the breathtaking sunsets! If you plan on visiting the area, make sure to stop, take a breath, and enjoy a sight most people never get to witness in their lifetime! A gorgeous, Philippines sunset!

2. Sumilon Island Sandbar
This little island is its private oasis. It is home to some of the most exciting sea animals and coral reefs, making it the perfect spot for an Instagram photo!
The island is only a 15-20 minute boat ride from Oslob. Once arriving on the island, it is a small entrance fee of 50 pesos per person. You’ll encounter some of the whitest sand in all of the Philippines. And you’ll also swim in some of the cleanest, bluest water.
The island is also home to its own private resort, so if you’re looking to stay a couple of nights, check out the Bluewater Sumilon Island Resort!
3. Inambakan Falls
Dustin and I actually came to visit Inambakan Falls by total accident! With some downtime in our itinerary, we asked a few locals what they recommended we check out in Cebu. Without hesitation, our tuk-tuk driver for the day took us to Inambakan Falls, and we were not disappointed! I still remanence with this Instagram photo and still can’t fully believe a beautiful waterfall like this actually exists!

4. Tumalog Falls
Tumalog Falls is such an impressive waterfall that my Instagram photo can’t do it justice! even though it’s more of a “mist” than an actual waterfall, it’ll still make any photographer drool upon the sight of it. Tumalog Falls can be found on the island of Cebu, in Oslob by the whale shark encounters.
5. Nacpan Beach in El Nido, Palawan
Palawan is an island that needs no introduction. While in El Nido, Dustin and I rented a motorcycle for the day and explored the area. One of the most popular beaches, and for good reason, is Nacpan Beach. This place is totally Instagram worthy! Taking a dip in the water feels so refreshing after being in the hot, Philippine’s summer sun!⠀
6. Boracay’s White Beach
Voted numerous times as the world’s most beautiful beach, it’s hard not to get a great Instagram photo with all the white powdered sand and rows upon rows of luscious palm trees. This picture is actually one of my favorite’s of Dustin and I. It’s a product of us just being total goofballs and enjoying paradise together!

7. And Boracay’s Palm Trees!
It’s hard not to play around the palm trees when there’s just so many of them on Boracay! The country did a fantastic job cleaning and restoring this beach so future generations can continue to enjoy its beauty!

This super fun boat tour will have you living in paradise for three days in beach huts and camping tents, as well as kayaking and snorkeling in some of the most pristine water on earth!
I wrote a review of the three day, two-night tour here:
