Things to Do in Zamboanga

If you’re ready to hit the beach the moment your feet leave the jetway, hop into one of our Zamboanga car rental options and catch a ferry to Great Santa Cruz Island. Start your Zamboanga holiday on the lovely pink (yes, pink!) sand that gets its colour from tiny bits of organ pipe coral. Tempted to test your sea legs? Float along the Zamboanga Strait on a Vinta—the region’s signature slender sailboat. Lined up along the shore, Vintas create a vivid rainbow with their striped sails. When you’re in a land-lubbing mood, drive out to Pasonanca Park, just south of the lush Watershed Reservation. At Pasonanca, wander around the peaceful gardens and climb up to the city’s famous treehouse—it receives thousands of visitors each year, and you can even rent it out for a tropical camp out!

Shopping, Dining & Nightlife

When you’re ready to haggle over treasures—from ceramics and snacks to jewellery and fashion—shop your way through the vendors at the Canelar Barter Trade Center. Load up on glittery scarves and patterned rugs inside its plain, businesslike exterior. You can’t judge a book by its cover after all. Get to know the local heritage one stitch at a time at the Yakan Village. You won’t be able to find these handwoven textiles anywhere else, so get ’em while they’re hot!

For many travellers, Zamboanga holidays mean food tours and lazy arvos stuffing one’s face. The old port area, Paseo del Mar, has a new lease on life as the city’s major food and social scene. The region’s cuisine is mostly a fusion of traditional Yakan, Spanish and Asian influences—all with heaps of shellfish, so diets be darned.

After watching a gorgeous sunset, make sure you’re in Paseo del Mar for the easygoing nightlife. Locals and travellers alike enjoy open-air drinks and snacking near the dancing fountain. For a little more neon in your night, catch a short commuter flight up to the Filipino capital. You can book a fab holiday package in Manila if you’re planning a really late night…
