Picturesque natural wonders, warm hospitality, and unique cultural identity – this is the Philippines, offering something for everyone. It’s no wonder millions of foreign tourists continue to visit the country.
Whether you are a balikbayan seeking to reconnect with your roots or a foreign tourist eager to explore the local hotspots and hidden gems, one thing’s for sure: the Philippines is the place to be this summer.
As you plan your next summer getaway, getting around easily, safely, and affordably matters more than ever. That’s where inDrive comes in. From late-night food crawls to early morning island trips, inDrive fits seamlessly into any kind of local trip. It’s not just a ride; it’s your key to unlocking summer’s best memories — at your own pace, on your own terms.
Don’t know where to start? Here are inDrive’s top summer destinations this 2025:
Revel in Metro Manila’s nonstop energy
Despite being the country’s capital region, Metro Manila is still quite underrated as a tourist destination for foreign travelers. However, this region breathes nonstop energy both day and night. Catch an inDrive ride for a day trip around historical sites like the Walled City of Intramuros and the world’s oldest Chinatown, Binondo. If you prefer to shop until you drop, Metro Manila is full of expansive malls such as the SM Mall of Asia. Travelers can also watch the metropolis light up at night thanks to its many karaoke bars and exotic street food night markets.
Food-trip around Bacolod
Bacolod City is a foodie’s paradise. As the capital of Negros Occidental, the country’s largest sugar producer, the city is home to many delicacies including chicken inasal, cansi, and piaya. Not to mention, food-tripping around the city’s bustling street food scene and top restaurants has become more seamless as you can simply hitch a ride in inDrive.
Explore Cebu’s natural and historical wonders
Cebu is where the rush of city living and the peace of island life intersect. The Queen City of the South boasts pristine white-sand beaches and multiple waterfalls, such as the Kawasan Falls. Despite its urban growth, the island still exudes old-world charm as it is home to historical landmarks such as Magellan’s Cross, Basilica Minore del Sto. Niño de Cebu, and Fort San Pedro. And getting to these landmarks is now easier than ever, as travelers can simply book an affordable ride with inDrive.
Beat the heat at Baguio City
Baguio provides travelers respite from the heat in the south, as its location along the Cordillera Central Mountain Range creates a cool and temperate climate. True to its title as the Summer Capital of the Philippines, Baguio entices travelers with its lush green spaces, such as Burnham Park and Baguio Botanical Garden. They can also hitch an inDrive ride heading to indigenous sites such as the Tam-awan Village and Ifugao Woodcarvers’ Village.
Relish in Iloilo’s old-world charm
Just a ferry ride away from Bacolod is Iloilo, a province rich in colonial history. It is home to religious landmarks such as the Sta. Ana Parish of Molo and the Jaro Metropolitan Cathedral, and heritage sites such as the Nelly Garden Mansion. Travelers can also experience Iloilo’s underrated beaches by island-hopping around the Gigantes Islands. So whether you are going on a city heritage trip or you need to head to your island-hopping meet-up spot, inDrive has your back.
Smarter and more affordable summer escape (with a heart!)
inDrive offers a refreshing ride-hailing experience that puts fairness and transparency first. Passengers can view fixed rates upfront, while drivers get clear visibility on routes and fares — helping both parties move with more confidence and ease.
inDrive also endeavors to make this summer season (and beyond!) more inclusive and fair for all to enjoy. inDrive fully shoulders the government-mandated 20% discounts for senior citizens, persons with disabilities (PWDs), students, and national athletes and their coaches. Not only does it make rides more affordable for these groups as they see the Philippines, but it will also help drivers take home more of their earnings.
With inDrive, you can get around these travel destinations easily and comfortably. Not only that! Your ride with inDrive can also help make the Philippines a more traveler-friendly place as the app teamed up with mapping network Hivemapper to constantly upgrade existing maps. Here, inDrive partner drivers’ Hivemapper devices will track their routes while on the road, this data will then be used to update existing global maps and provide peace of mind to travelers. It’s a win-win all around: more accurate maps, extra income for drivers, and safer trips for passengers.
“Filipino travelers value flexibility and a sense of safety—especially during holidays,” said Sofia Guinto, Business Lead of inDrive Philippines. “By offering choice at every step, we aim to deliver a ride experience that feels empowering and human.”
