Ride with Pride: Underrated Summer Destinations in the Philippines on Two Wheels

Sometimes the best summer escapes are the ones waiting just beyond the city.

As the summer season invites people to slow down, reflect, and explore, a ride on two wheels offers a refreshing way to rediscover nearby destinations, from quiet mountain roads to scenic coastal routes.
 
For riders who move between daily commutes and weekend escapes, the ADV160 makes every journey more rewarding. Built around the lifestyle concept “The SUV Pride,” this adventure-style scooter combines confident performance, smart technology, and everyday comfort, perfect for spontaneous rides beyond the city this summer.

 

 

So, if you’re looking for places to visit during the reflective days of Holy Week, here are a few underrated destinations that are best experienced on two wheels, and why The ADV160 makes the journey even better.

 

Antipolo, Rizal – A Meaningful Ride of Reflection

A classic destination for both riders and pilgrims, Antipolo offers a peaceful escape from the city. Many travelers make their way to the Antipolo Cathedral during Holy Week, while others enjoy the cool mountain breeze and scenic roads leading up to the city. Powered by a 157cc eSP+ engine, The ADV160 delivers smooth acceleration for open highways, while the adjustable windscreen helps reduce wind fatigue during longer rides.

 

Batangas Coast – A Summer Ride by the Sea

When the heat of summer calls for the ocean, Batangas offers a refreshing coastal ride just a few hours from Metro Manila. The roads toward Nasugbu or Calatagan open to stunning sea views and relaxing beach stops along the way. With The ADV160’s Subtank rear suspension and Anti-lock Braking System (ABS) with wavy disc brakes, riders can navigate Batangas winding uphill routes with confidence, safety, and comfort.

 

Dingalan, Aurora – A Hidden Adventure Facing the Pacific

Often called the “Batanes of the East,” Dingalan rewards riders with breathtaking views where mountains meet the Pacific Ocean. The winding roads leading to the coast make the journey just as memorable as the destination itself. Equipped with Honda Selectable Torque Control (HSTC) and fuel efficiency of up to 45.0 km/L (WMTC test method), The ADV160 provides the confidence and endurance needed for longer scenic rides.

 

Kaybiang Tunnel, Cavite – A Route Riders Love

The ride through Kaybiang Tunnel has become a favorite among riders seeking smooth curves and dramatic mountain scenery. The route offers a refreshing change of pace from city traffic, especially during early morning rides. With modern features like the new 5-inch TFT meter panel and Honda RoadSync connectivity, The ADV160 keeps riders informed and connected while navigating new routes.

 

 

 

The Ride That Leads to New Discoveries

Sometimes the best journeys begin with a simple decision to ride somewhere new. Because in the end, every road holds the promise of discovery, and with The ADV160, riders can experience the freedom, confidence, and pride of owning a machine built for both the city and the adventures waiting beyond it.
