Why Do We Love This

What to Expect
Mabuhay! Welcome to the Philippines!
It’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’ll be doing it all with a group of like-minded travellers – 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’re looking for something even longer, you may like to check out our 16-day Philippines Island-Hopping Tour.

In the afternoon we set off for Port Barton! Once we arrive in Port Barton we will be taken to our secluded beach, situated on one of the most beautiful white-sand beaches in the Philippines where we spend the afternoon sea kayaking, laying on the beach and of course preparing our campsite for the night. Our local guide will prepare dinner and build a fire and bust the guitar as we rock the night away under the stars.

At the end of each day we head to base camp and spend our nights chilled in front of the bonfire while all of our meals are prepared for us and our drinks are served cold!

Day 2 of the expedition is your day to explore the Linapacan islands, which have some of the cleanest and clearest waters on earth. It’s the perfect place to snorkel and relax on some of the most beautiful beaches in Palawan. The program for today includes exploring a turtle sanctuary, jumping from a 6 meters-high cliff (if you dare), and meeting the Tagbuana, the local people of Linapacan, to discover their culture and way of life. Again before sunset, we head back to base to spend the night chilling on the beach under the moonlight in front of the bonfire.

Frequently Asked Questions
Yes! Once you’ve booked and before you travel we’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’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’s almost always very hot in the Philippines so it is never fun to drag around a big suitcase!
