Take the scenic route: Discover hidden summer getaways on two wheels

Sometimes, the most memorable summer escapes are not the ones packed with crowds, but the quiet destinations waiting just beyond the city.

As the season invites people to pause, reflect, and explore, riding on two wheels offers a different kind of freedom — one that turns even nearby trips into meaningful adventures. From cool mountain roads to sun-drenched coastal highways, every ride becomes a chance to rediscover the beauty of the journey itself.

For riders balancing weekday commutes with spontaneous weekend getaways, the ADV160 makes every trip more exciting and rewarding. Designed around the lifestyle concept “The SUV Pride,” this adventure-style scooter blends power, comfort, smart technology, and everyday versatility, making it the ideal companion for summer rides beyond the usual.

If you are planning to head out during the reflective days of Holy Week or simply looking for underrated places to explore this summer, here are some destinations best experienced on two wheels — and why the ADV160 is built for the road ahead.

Antipolo, Rizal – A Ride for Reflection and Fresh Air

A favorite among riders, travelers, and pilgrims, Antipolo remains one of the most meaningful escapes near Metro Manila. During Holy Week, many visit the Antipolo Cathedral for prayer and reflection, while others are drawn to the city’s cool breeze, scenic overlooks, and winding uphill roads.

The ADV160 is well-suited for this kind of ride, thanks to its 157cc eSP+ engine that delivers smooth and responsive performance on both city roads and open highways. Its adjustable windscreen also helps reduce wind fatigue, making the ride to the mountain city more comfortable and enjoyable.

Batangas Coast – Chasing the Sea This Summer

For those craving sun, salt air, and wide coastal views, Batangas offers an easy and refreshing escape. Routes leading to Nasugbu or Calatagan reward riders with scenic drives, relaxing beach stops, and a welcome break from the city heat.

With the ADV160’s Subtank rear suspension and Anti-lock Braking System with wavy disc brakes, riders can take on Batangas’ winding roads with more confidence, stability, and control. Whether climbing uphill stretches or cruising along coastal highways, the scooter is built to deliver comfort and safety throughout the ride.

Dingalan, Aurora – A Hidden Gem by the Pacific

Often referred to as the “Batanes of the East,” Dingalan is one of those destinations that makes the journey just as unforgettable as the arrival. With dramatic views of mountains meeting the Pacific Ocean, it offers riders a raw and breathtaking escape that feels far removed from the pace of the city.

The ADV160 is designed for longer scenic rides like this, equipped with Honda Selectable Torque Control for added confidence on varying road conditions. Its fuel efficiency of up to 45.0 km/L under WMTC test method also gives riders the endurance they need to go farther and enjoy more of the road.

Kaybiang Tunnel, Cavite – A Rider’s Favorite Escape

Kaybiang Tunnel has long been a popular route for motorcycle enthusiasts, and for good reason. Its smooth curves, mountain scenery, and peaceful early morning atmosphere make it one of the most enjoyable quick escapes from the metro.

For riders exploring new routes, the ADV160 adds convenience to the adventure through its 5-inch TFT meter panel and Honda RoadSync connectivity, keeping essential ride information accessible while on the move. It is a machine built not just for performance, but for a more connected and enjoyable ride.

Where the Road Leads, Discovery Follows

Sometimes, all it takes is one decision to ride somewhere new. A quiet road, a hidden viewpoint, a coastal breeze, or a mountain stop can turn an ordinary day into something memorable.

With the ADV160, every ride becomes more than just travel. It becomes an experience defined by freedom, confidence, and the pride of riding a machine built for both everyday journeys and the adventures waiting beyond the city.
