Yes! Once you&rsquo;ve booked and before you travel we&rsquo;ll help put you in touch with the rest of your group, so you can start chatting and getting to know each other.

All of your internal flights, activities, accommodation, transport and some meals are included throughout the duration of the tour, so you&rsquo;ll just need money for any extra meals, drinks, shopping, and any onward travel. We recommend you bring at least $300 AUD spending money for the trip.

We always recommend traveling with a backpack and packing light! 10-20kgs of stuff should be plenty. It&rsquo;s almost always very hot in the Philippines so it is never fun to drag around a big suitcase!

Mabuhay! Welcome to the Philippines!

It&rsquo;s time to experience the ultimate group adventure tour in The Philippines!

Starting in Manila and ending in Coron, in 10 days you will explore the bustling nightlife in Manila, snorkel in crystal clear waters, camp on the beach under the stars, discover the Filipino culture and enjoy the best sunsets of your life. Meet the locals, kayak through caves, enjoy endless beers and sunsets on the beach and the best part is that you&rsquo;ll be doing it all with a group of like-minded travellers &ndash; so if you are planning to travel solo, no need to worry as 90% of travellers that join us do so solo as well! If this trip sounds great but you&rsquo;re looking for something even longer, you may like to check out our&nbsp;16-day Philippines Island-Hopping Tour.
