I was super nervous before going on it as it was my first time out of the country but one life and our tour guide kate made sure everything ran smoothly and was always more than happy to fix any problem you came to her with. She felt like a sister away from home. It was great to explore more of Indonesia than just Bali and experience activities that are often not done by tourists when they visit. Our tour guide was as excited about every activity that we did as we were, which made me feel comfortable trying new things. At every meal we were given suggestions of the best things to get on the menu. The food was good for the most part considering the areas we were in. Each hotel experience was incredible with friendly staff. Transportation at times was long but worth it for each of the locations we went to.
I could not have asked for a better group of travelers or a better tour guide to lead us on this trip through Indonesia. I have made friends and memories with people all over the world. Kate did an excellent job to making sure everyone had the best time possible which is what truly made this trip unforgettable. Through this tour I have learned a great deal about the culture of Indonesia and have fostered a greater appreciation for responsible tourism and the importance of caring for the environment. It was evident that this is an issue that kate cares about deeply and it showed throughout the tour as we met with locals. I am ending this tour with nothing but good memories.

I chose to tour with One Life for a second time because everything is always thoroughly organised and runs smoothly without hiccups. The company chooses activities off the beaten track which makes it a more unique and special experience. The guides also educate everyone about being responsible tourists and don’t partake in any activities that are not ethical (ie. animal tourism) which is something I feel strongly about. Some travel days can be long but it’s far from not being worth it. Mt Bromo was breathtaking and I can’t say I would’ve seen any of Java if I didn’t go with One Life. I love an active holiday that includes a bunch of outdoor activities (snorkelling, hiking, waterfalls, surfing etc.) and I got all that with this trip.
Kate is honestly the best guide out. She’ll go above and beyond for all her guests to ensure they have the best experience possible. She felt like our best mate rather than our tour guide. I can’t fault her. She’s patient, funny, kind and so passionate about her job. Her love of the ocean and environment in general is evident and she’s a world of knowledge. You know you’ve had a great tour guide and crew when you’re incredibly sad to be leaving. The last 12 days have been unforgettable.
I’ll definitely be travelling with One Life again in the future!

I loved all the activities we did and felt very informed the entire time. I thought it was very well organized and the company definitely cared a lot about its guests and their tours. The accommodations, transportation, and food were all well thought out and great. The travel was a lot at times, but was definitely well worth it. Our tour guide, Kate, was amazing and made everyone feel welcome and included. She was very informed on everything we were doing and was willing to do anything to help you if you needed. She was like a big sister to all of us. I would love to take another one of her tours, she really made the group feel like a family. It was an amazing trip and I had so much fun. I also loved the eco tourism aspect of all their tours. It is clear they really care about the planet and it reinforced my own beliefs as well. I would highly recommend this tour and would do this trip over in a heartbeat.

I have never been on a better tour with better people, and Kate could not have been more incredible. I’m so grateful that our tour guide felt more like a friend but was also there for you for anything. I really enjoyed trying new/traditional Indonesian food, but it was also nice to go to restaurants that felt more like home at times. The food everywhere was honestly better than I had anticipated coming into this trip. Although there were long days of travel, every destination was absolutely worth it (especially Java). My favorite part of the tour was that it was more off the beaten path and wasn’t a classic Bali beach resort tour. I thoroughly enjoyed every activity and appreciated that we didn’t feel forced to participate if we didn’t want to. Every day and every activity impressed me further than the day before. My only suggestion is that the hotel in Gili T was a little tough, but every other accommodation blew me away. I’m so appreciative for this tour and Kate and I could not have asked for a better two weeks. Thank you so much One Life and Kate!

Many of the meals were included in the price which worked really well. So many activities included, as well as additional optional ones, and there was a very good balance of activity packed days as well as some more chill days. Tour guide Kate was satisfactory (she was ace guys!) And made the trip one to remember. 100% would recommend one life adventures and particularly the Indonesia tour. Loved it so much I'm coming back in July!

This trip is truly amazing and a real eye opener to what really matters in life. To experience such a vast variety of this beautiful country is absolutely astonishing. From white sands and clear seas in Permuteran to a breathtaking sunrise in our woolly hats in Java, it is impossible to chose a favorite activity.
What I love about OneLife is how we get to visit and experience 'off the beaten track' of Bali and Java and get a real sense of the culture. The philosophy of 'responsible tourism' is a huge unique point to this company as everything we do is mindful of the environment and the people who live here.
This trip is 110% worth the travel as the experience gained is invaluable and I will never forget my time here. I have had made once in a lifetime memories with my incredible boyfriend, but also met the most phenomenal people and I have made friends for life. Kate has been an incredible guide and we cannot wait to rebook onto the Philippines tour with her, she is my ozzie best chick!

But on that note, this is my first tour and it has opened up my eyes to seeing the rest of the world and i am already planning my next adventure with one life alongside my girlfriend who has also had the privilege of experiencing this trip. The people of this tour have been absolutely amazing and we have had the opportunity to experience so many things. I cant fault this tour if i tried and Kate our tour guide has been incredible, i don't want to book our next tour to the Philippines without her being there. Thank you ONE LIFE for this amazing opportunity and i would highly recommend this tour to anyone who wants to visit Indonesia.

This tour has been beyond i could imagine and seeing 2 parts of Indonesia (bali and java) has given me such a varied experience. Surprisingly, I think i may have enjoyed Java more than bali!! Mount bromo and red island where particular highlights.
My trip started off very stressful with flight delays and lost baggage, I was so lucky to be on this tour for them to help me sort this out.
Kate has been a fantastic tour guide and friend - she has helped us through the worst and provided us with the best experiences. Her knowledge on sea life is brilliant and makes the snorkeling trips extra special. Her food choices were also 10/10.
Maybe a downside is a couple of the long travel days but this cant be helped when you want to do Java and bali.
Overall, I would recommend anyone to do this tour, especially as a solo traveler - I would never had been able to plan a trip like this alone. You will meet friends for life who also enjoy traveling and the sangria on Gili T is great ;)

I booked the Indonesia Bali/Java tour and it has been incredible. Java was without doubt my favorite. I loved how you got to see local life and really get out of the tourist spots to experience the culture properly. The activities have been brilliant and well organized. I could go into detail but this review would be more like a story! The only negative is the 7 hour journey during the day after Mount Bromo. It was worth it in the end, but I'd probably prefer an overnight travel. This may not be possible, and understandably so. It's a long journey but it is broken up with toilet stops and lunch so it is doable for those who suffer with car sickness but just be aware before you book that there is early mornings and some long travel time. The early mornings are great as you make the most of the day. Kate, our tour guide, has been great. I feel like I have left the tour with new friends (Kate), along with the people in my group. We have made lots of amazing memories together. She has knowledge and lots of info on Indonesia which has been very interesting. Kate also has a lot of patience and is able to communicate with all the group as a group and individually. I will certainly miss my time in Indonesia and look forward to coming back soon. Next up, our reunion tour in the Philippines (Hopefully with Kate!) If you're thinking of booking a One Life tour, do it. You won't regret it.

We covered so many areas on this tour that I never would have been able to see on my own in this time frame and all do the adventures we went on were truly worth it. Kate was an amazing guide who was always checking in on us to make sure we were ok/happy/comfortable etc. and was able to quickly adapt to any hiccups that may have come up. I’ve used other tour companies, but One Life included so much more than their competitors. I also loved how eco friendly and responsible they strive to be with their water refill stations at each hotel and the beach cleanup (optional). I would highly recommend this tour and am looking forward to traveling again with them in the future! I would note that this isn’t a party tour, so if you’re looking for more of that over adventure, I would maybe go with another tour.

This trip was well organised and had the Indo experiance I was looking for. One of the examples of this was using the local train. Thanks to our tour Guide Kate who was awesome and made the trip extra special with her selfless acts of kindness and made the trip as smooth as possible for us all and shout out to Brooke who was also very suppotive and also assisted in making this trip a success.

All the accomdations were comfortable and spacious. Each twin room came with toilet and shower facilities which was great for privacy. There was a great balance between travel days and down time. It is also evident that the tour is well researched because there are hidden gems that we got to see outside of the big tourist areas.

During the 12 days you see and do a lot of things (waterfall, temples, monkey forest, riceterraces, etc..). My personal favourites were; the sunrise and hike to the Bromo volcano in Java, the surf lessons at red island and snorkeling with green sea turtles in Gili T! I really feel like I fully experienced Indonesia. To see all of this, a few travel days are necessary, but for me that was more than worth it and it definitely paid off. It also did not bother me since the transport was well organized (on time, and comfortable).
For me it was the first time to travel with a tour, and I really enjoyed it. It is so nice that everything is organized, that you know what you are going to do each day, and that you dont have the feeling you miss out on something.
I also liked travelling in a tour because you then travel with other people. I really liked the people in the group we travelled with. We really had a fun time and were a tight group. Now after 1 day, I already miss being around them, I hope we will meet up again one day..
I also think that the price for this tour is relatively cheap for what you get. You stay in some amazing accomodations (Kubuku and red islands were just a dream). And a lot is included (transport; jeeps, ferrys, trains, vans, boats and snorkel equipment, entrances, many meals/breakfast, guides, surflessons etc.).
And then finally (and maybe most importantly?) what really contributed to make this experience a "one life experience" was the tour guide, Kate Justice. She really made the tour amazing. Besides from having a great sense of humor and being a lot of fun, she informed us well about the planning, activities, things that could happen, culture and history. You really knew what to expect and I personally really value that to know what you are up to. She also made sure we had a good time, by organizing games, quizzes, good songs in the car, nice chats, etc. She also made sure everyone felt comfortable and got included. If there would have been a problem, I would for sure have approached her, and I think it is important that a guide has that quality. It is ashame that she doesn't do the Sri Lanka or Japan tour in the near future, otherwise I think I would have booked one again really soon (;
For now, I first have to finish my study , but after that it is most likely that I go on another One Life Adventure Tour again !

I can honestly say I am so glad I picked to have this one life adventure (no pun intented) with One life adventures. I was really out my comfort zone and the whole tour made me feel safe, comfortable and extremely happy with everything I experienced. I have to highly rate Kate Justice as a tour guide - she was understanding, empathetic and extremely knowledgable. Kate was a fantastic tour guide and on hand to support with no matter what, especially as I suffered from Bali Belly. The experience from a week before flying to departure was perfect and all I could ask for and more. Overall, I have never done this before and damn well will do it again with one life adventures.. thank you Holly.

I booked this tour and came on my own but ended up making friends in the group and truly having the most amazing time. I loved that this tour wasn’t just about doing super touristy things, we got a chance to travel all throughout Indonesia; Canggu, Bali, Mount Bromo, Red Island, Gilli T, these memories will remain with me forever. Also shoutouts to Kate, the best tour guide ever! She was sweet, funny, knowledgeable, always made sure everyone in the group was having a great time. If there were any issues Kate made sure it was fixed immediately. This will be the first of many group travel experiences to come.

They ensure that you enjoy your trip to the fullest as well as educating all it's guests how to be responsible travelers and how to implement what you learn into your lives.
Bali and Java are so diverse and One Life Adventures makes the most of its 12 day tour to make sure you experience all Indonesia has to offer. From snorkelling with turtles to climbing up to the top of a volcano crater to learning to surf on one of the only uncrowded surf breaks in Bali or East Java.
If you're looking for an authentic Bali experience and not just partying in Kuta, this is the tour you need to take.

Kate was always on top of it, always fixing any little hiccups we came across that we didn’t even notice, and always being her best self!!! I’ve truly found a friend in her and all of the people on my tour! The activities were super fun and perfectly spaced out so that we also had enough free time to do whatever our hearts desired. I will 110% be back to do more tours with One Life (and Kate)❤️❤️❤️

I loved how environmentally friendly the tour was and how eco it was! We got to see sooo many turtles and the snorkelling was bloody amazing! We also got to climb bromo which allowed us to see the most amazing sunrise! I also had the chance to climb mount Ijen which to this day has been the best thing I’ve ever done! It was amazing getting to see the blue flames!! Gili t was also a highlight with the accomodation being amazing and the day trips on the water! Even bike riding along the path with the group was amazing!
Red surf camp was the coolest place with so much personality.

I love that this tour goes out of Bali and into Java where there are hardly any tourists! In Java we were taken to a small village where we had dinner at a local’s home which was definitely a highlight as we were able to see the ‘real’ Indonesia. Bali and Java are amazing places and to have Kate show us around topped it all off. She was incredible and really showed how much her (and One Life) care about ethical tourism by doing the most for the local people and environment - something that means so much to me personally. :)

I would recommend this tour to people who want to experience real Indonesian culture and more than just the typical Instagram Bali spots. You get to visit 3 islands in total, Bali, Java and Gili T. To do this you get to experience different methods of transport, which include vans, trains, and ferry’s. This tour includes a range of activities, from walking Mount Bromo to snorkelling with turtles. Personally, I was really not looking forward to the mountain walk, but with help from the tour guide Kate, she helped me overcome my anxiety and got me to the top! I did not expect to enjoy it, but I really did! The accommodation was cool and everywhere was clean. Kate was an amazing tour guide, who made sure that we was having an amazing time throughout the tour. Without her, I would not have had so much fun. A big thanks to her and One Life so such a great trip!

Bromo, Red island surf camp, and Gilli T all being personal highlights. For the price, I cannot recommend it enough, and don't think anybody could have the same experience for the cost of this tour without doing it. Accomodation was great too. Kate made the trip flow very smoothly and was great to have around. Having a local guide, Ika, who was also with us during the whole trip is what set this tour apart from others as we can learn the culture, and the best tips and tricks for optimising my stay in Indonesia. 10/10!!

There was a god mount of travelling which allowed us to see different cultures but the travelling never seemed a chore as you'll almost always be crossing beautiful landscape. Finally, the tour guide was incredible - super helpful, will bend over backwards to make sure you get the best experience possible and makes sure every day is one to remember.

Don’t overthink it and book it right now!!

The itinerary had a fantastic mix of adventure days rest days and travel days. We were able to see a lot of Indonesia not just Bali and everything from the waterfalls to the volcanoes and beaches were stunning. Our guide Kate was also a lot of fun! She joined in with the group and was one of the team, with an excellent ability to adapt and improvise while making every experience the most enjoyable for each individual. The accomodation was way better than I expected and although there are some Asian differences we truly got pampered.
First tour I’ve ever been on and I would definitely go on another one with one life!

It is a life changing experience that I highly recommend to everyone! Our guide, Kate, was just INCREDIBLE! She took care of all of us in every second of the tour: fun, knowledgeable and very approachable. She is a lovely human being with a huge heart! We were very lucky to have her as a tour guide and all the gorgeous One Life crew around. Thank you for these fantastic 10 days! I will definitely travel again with OLA.

I really want to mention our guide Kate, who was always in a great mood even though the rest of us were a bit hangover sometimes. She also has the Best Bond with the locals, which translates to the rest of the trip. Loved it, truly an onelife experience!

This is what Kate done for me, and she exceeded my expectations. Every day there was something new and as the days went on it got better and better. She is such a fantastic person that just bonds everyone together from all walks of life. I am going back home to work and save for my next one life adventure tour and I cannot wait. A life experience I will never forget. Thankyou so so much for a trip of a life time

Talking to local business and how they have started was amazing especially Jackie and Rob at Mojitos in Port Barton and their amazing story and the way they help all the dogs ❤️
The Philippines Experience was also another favourite day for me and getting to make traditional Philippine food.
My favourite days of all have been the island hopping and camping overnight on the private island

Our time during this tour has been packed with fun activities, great food and amazing views! Our tour guide Kate did a great job of keeping us well informed on what's to come and how to be prepared, whilst also balancing and reacting to the general feeling of the group to ensure everyone is happy - not an easy job, but made to look so! I will be recommending this tour to my friends and those I meet on my further travels knowing they will not be disappointed.
Salamat One Life!

It was so amazing. Kate has been an amazing guide, I couldn’t have asked for a better guide than her. She made this entire tour so much better. I really feel like that I’ve had the best time of my life - no doubts about that. The Philippines is now my new favorite country!! I am going back here for sure, I want to do the tour all over. Loved being in Port Barton, dancing at the reggae bar - never have I’ve been happier doing that. Totally going back to port Barton! Loved island hopping and the amazing guys on the boat - they were just so nice. Loved the group! The best traveling group ever. There’s not a single thing about this tour that I didn’t loved. I would do this all over a 1000 times. Thank you so much Kate, you were an absolute legend !!!! And thank you so much one life - you really made us all feel like one big family! It was amazing walking around Port Barton and people were like: ‘Hey one life !!!’. Words can’t describe how I feel about this trip - I just want to say thank you - maybe I’ll see you on another tour ;)

I was travelling to philipines for the first time and was a little nervous however within 1 minute og arriving in Manila airport out guide Kate immediately reached out and helped getting ud to the first accommodation. Througout the trip Kate has been the absolute best guide ever, giving her genuine opinions and tips for everything. Our intenerary was fully booked all days and a little tirering but everyday i experienced a once in a lifetime experience that i will never try again. The onelife trip with Kate has been the best ever and had opened my eyes to the beautiful philipines. Love Kate and love One life

The Snorkeling is beyond amazing.. Kate was amazing with my 100 annoying questions and very knowledgeable and the locals love her which is great to see. this tour makes you feel like apart of the philipinneo family you get the full local experience... Cons: the admin id like the itinerary to include the specific dates of the tour from start to finish, i found i had to email/call to double check the dates for 1st/last days for flights and accommodation. other then that the tour was amazing and ive booked a Japan tour i loved it that much.

Jam packed with awesome activities and optional activities, but enough down time to do your own thing if you want to. My favourite meals were the lunches made on the boats during the island hopping days. Kate knew the best spots around for sight seeing and things to do, eat/drink and more. Small group made it even better!

We got to meet friendly locals in every town we visited and learned so much more about the Philippines and their culture. I really enjoyed our daily activities, such as, visiting Iwahig prison, island hopping in Port Barton and being lucky enough to even camp on one of the private islands. Kate is such a friendly and vibrant tour guide and is very helpful in providing any information we may need. She was really lovely to us and gave us all the insight on the best places to eat and things to do in the towns we visited. I really enjoyed this tour overall and I will highly recommend One Life Adventures to anyone who would like to experience a once in a lifetime tour in South East Asia.

From start (travel docs and contact before travel) during and to finish has been easy!
Kate was really easygoing making the trip chilled also. It was really lovely to see how amazing the relationship between the local suppliers and Kate was, really special!. The local suppliers we’re also amazing.
Look forward to my next trip

The main reason I was doing the trip was because the Puerto Princesa Subterranean River is one the New7 Wonders of Nature and I wanted to tick that box on my bucket list. To my surprise, the beaches and islands we visited throughout the trip were very impressive and the days included a lot of activities so there wasn’t a lot of downtime where I’d find myself bored and melting on the beach. Our tour leader Kate was always helpful whenever I had questions to ask her. This tour is a great way to see Palawan island in the Phillipines with a lot of included activities compared to other tour companies out there.

Made all the better by Kate being as great as she was! We got to see some truly beautiful parts of the country and the food included on the Port Barton island hopping in particular was delicious.
I really enjoyed my time in El Nido at Spin Hostel. It was really clean, well put together and much more spacious then most hostels. Kate made sure to show us around in each location and take us to all the good eating spots!
It was really nice how Kate got on with us all so well and felt like part of the gang rather than just someone who was showing us around. She knew how to have a good laugh and look after us all at the same time! She was also really good at engaging everyone and encouraging people to take part and get involved with things like games to break the ice.
Thank you so much for an amazing time and I will definitely be booking with OneLifeAdventures again for sure... I already can’t wait for the Japan tour I’ve already booked, if this tour was anything to go by, I’ll adore it as well.

The group was perfect, we all got along really well and everyone participated in all of the activities. Kate was probably one of the reasons we all got on so well, she made sure to include everybody and made everyone feel so welcome. I always knew what was going on and the plan for the entire day and tour as a whole, and Kate's energy and enthusiasm was so contagious, I always felt excited for the day ahead. I particularly appreciated the emphasis on 'responsible tourism' that Kate largely encouraged, it has definitely made me more aware for my future travels. Her love for the country is clear and has definitely spread! As an additional bonus, it was my birthday whilst out on the tour, and I never felt homesick for a second! The group sang to me and Kate arranged a cake for me too, definitely a birthday to remember! A massive thank you to One Life and Kate for an experience I will never forget and will definitely recommend!

If you want to get lost in paradise, explore lonely islands and swim in a sea that has all shades of blue you can imagine, all of this while getting to know the local way of life and keeping the environment in mind, go to the Philippines with One Life Adventures!

I definately recommend this tour!

Only other feedback may have been in the earlier parts of the tour talking through places to buy snacks etc once we got to El Nido it was fine as we were based in the same spot.

All the activities were amazing and well thought out. This was definitely the best way to see Palawan, getting to see both the cities and the more tourist-orientated towns as well as smaller villages.
Kate was amazing, always going above and beyond to make sure we were all enjoying ourselves. Special shout out to her for diving to the bottom of the ocean to get my gopro after someone dropped it!
Could not have asked for a better way to spend my first holiday in the Philippines!

It’s my second time in the Philippines having worked here a few years ago, and I was hoping to get to do some more exploring this time. This was certainly fulfilled, I got to see and do so much in just 10 days! The island hopping and underground river were two of my favourite activities, but there honestly wasn’t one activity that I didn’t enjoy.
My group was great and our tour guide, Kate, was fantastic. She was enthusiastic from day one and was always so helpful and knowledgeable, but also really fun and very good at bringing the group together.
I can’t believe how quickly the time passed and I’m already looking at the next One Life tour that I can book onto next year.

It was perfectly planned, allowed me to see the best parts of Palawan and experience the Filipino culture. This trip has been amazing!!

Could not have asked for anymore and although any travel through the Philippines would be an enjoyable experience, what really made this trip exceptional is the mix between responsible travel, great itinerary and the most awesome guide imaginable. I can not convey enough the support and interaction that was provided by our guide Kate. From helping to gel the group, always taking us to the coolest restaurants / bars and being the go to person on any issues we had.
I would highly recommend this tour to anyone seeking fun, adventure, supporting local communities and meeting awesome people.

I have never been to Asia before and I am very glad I did it for the first with One Life. The activities and the cultural experiences were once in a lifetime. I especially enjoyed the private island overnight stay in Port Barton and the zip lining over El Nido. Thank you to One Life for the amazing memories, the great group of people and, of course, Kate.

Kate was amazing, so welcoming, fun and made the whole trip effortless for us all. Each day was jam packed full of incredible once in a lifetime activities- but for me the two days island hopping in Port Barton and staying on our own private island was by far the most memorable moment for me. You are insane if don’t choose this tour.

Awesome tour with amazing tour guide!

There were so many activities and adventures that we would not have been able to do on our own. From the home cooked meals with adobo and spring rolls, to visiting a prison, to staying on an island over night, this trip was definitely worth it and I’m leaving with so many memories and new friends! Kate was on her A-game to make sure everyone knew what was going on. She balanced timing well and was super organized. Also, I dig the Paws in Paradise and Mabuhay shirts!! Thanks Kate!

If you are looking for something different where you don’t just see touristy places and beaches, then this is the tour for you. You get to full immerse with the local community as you visit the prison, schools and learn about their cultures.
Island hopping was amazing as you get to see many different places as well as snorkelling in beautiful spots. I wasn’t a fan of camping on a private island as camping is not my thing but Kate made it a pleasant experience.
If you want to explore the Philippines from a different angle, I highly recommend this tour.

From enjoying a sleepy seaside village vibe to (responsible!) drunk escapades by the beach, the tour has everything you could ever want if you're looking for a great time in beautiful Palawan with fun, like-minded travelers. Our tour guide, Kate, was also awesome! She's very professional and adaptable, but also really laid back and relatable. Thanks for a great experience, Kate! I'll definitely miss the banter we've had during the tour!

I’ve had the best 10 days exploring the islands with this group, it’s the perfect mix of chill & adventure and I would recommend it to anyone looking to spend some time in Palawan. The one thing that really makes this tour stand out is the overnight camping on an island that only onelife has a partnership with. It was the highlight of my trip and you can only do it through this tour. Everything from arrival, to spending money estimates to packing lists is provided before the trip & once you’re here all you need to do is turn up. Kate was our guide and she was organised, helpful and knowledgeable of what’s happening in the Philippines & it’s history which made a difference to if you were to book a trip on your own. You can tell she loves the country & the people which is important as the guide. I would 100% recommend this tour to my friends and anyone looking to explore the beautiful Philippines.

Each day had a different element or experience involved. There were so many surprise inclusions and activities, I thought the One Life team were generous and had planned out the itinerary with experience and knowledge of the local area.
All of the island locations were absolutley stunning! Port Barton was my personal favourite place - the days spent out on the water felt so private and adventurous at the same time.
All of the transport was really good. There were no hiccups with that, comfortable and fun!
Kate our guide was super efficient and had a great outlook to the tour! She made sure to address the whole group and gave us so many tips and advice when travelling. She was fun and friendly with us - very easy to hang out with for 10 days! Thank you Kate! Xx
And thank you One Life for an unforgettable experience! - Ellie.

It was 10 fantastic days with a really good group and a good guide!

The accommodation was good, rooms were clean and food was delicious everywhere we went - I didn’t have one bad meal whilst on the tour.
Kate is very knowledgable and you can see the fantastic relationships she has formed with the locals in each place we visited. Kate made me feel safe and well looked after.
I would definitely recommend OneLife for the Philippines and wouldn’t hesitate to use them again for another tour in the future!

I am genuinely ecstatic about my beautiful ten days with OneLife. I have been positively surprised by the whole thing - the organisation, the itinerary, the activities, the food, the people and of course our wonderful guide whom was always on hand for help. I am completely blown away by the whole thing. I have made wonderful friends and I have had my confidence boosted by the group's positive attitude. We all gelled so well with one another. I could not ask for anything more. An absolute perfect holiday which has taught me so much. Mainly, there is so so so much more to this life. Thank you Kate and thank you OneLife. I appreciate it all.

We stayed in some awesome accommodation from boutique hotels to camping on the beach, each place was unique and had such good vibes. All activities were included such as island hopping, prison visit, underground river cruise etc aside from the zip lining which was like under £10 to add on. I would say half your meals were included so you never felt like you had to dig into your pockets much. Overall I think I’ve spent about £200 and I wasn’t holding back!
The pace of the tour was just perfect, you felt like you were doing and seeing lots but it was super chilled and relaxed.
The group size was just right, we had around 16 people, who were all so lovely and really made this experience. Kate, our tour guide was an absolute legend. She was super knowledgeable, super chilled out but also got us where we needed to be on time so we didn’t miss any of the boss activities we had lined up. Kate in my eyes is everything a tour guide should be, loadsa fun, had all the banter but always had a sensible head on to ensure the smooth running of everything and made such an effort with everyone to make sure we all felt included.
Ten outta ten tour, can’t wait to do another, you’ve got a loyal custy for life!

To date, Philippines is definitely my favourite place in the world & already can’t wait to return in the near future.
Travelling with my best friend Amy, we knew we were going to make it a good trip but our Tour Leader Kate and Girls Group truly made this such an unforgettable, unique and once in a lifetime experience.
From day one, we all felt at ease with each-other, bonding over travels, life experiences, RUM and laughter day in day out. Working in hospitality, Kate has been a true ambassador for OneLifeAdventures showcasing warmth, positive personality, understanding & ensuring we are having the time of our life - the true glue to the group!
Every single activity, game, sing a long, friendship has been a true delight and there was never a moment of thinking “what shall we do now?” The organisation, detailed explanation itinerary & planning met and exceeded my expectations. Being quite an organised person, this was music to my ears and I never felt unsure, only looking forward and embraced every single moment in Paradise.
I would recommend OneLifeAdventures to absolutely anyone - a game changer in the Travel Industry. From restaurant reservations, private boats, complimentary water through the WHOLE tour (which is such a bonus) you really don’t have the lift a finger just relax, enjoy and absolutely submerge into the whole Philippine Experience.
If I had to choose a few main highlights during the tour it would be; spending a night on OLA’s Private Island, simply tranquility defined. “The Philippine Experience” in El Nido where we climbed coconut trees, cooked, danced, arts and crafts, tons of laughs and made fresh coconut oil. We were then met by a family of adorable puppies on the beach cuddling to our hearts content and showing the love toward Kates new business “ Paws In Paradise “
Followed by Zip-lining our way over the crystal blue waters and watching the sunset at Outpost Beach Bar.
Island Hopping perched on the front of the boat, swimming with turtles and exotic fish.
OLA, especially Kate - Thank you for everything & I hope to travel with you again soon.

We met Kate in Manila at Z Hostel, and from the very beginning she was super accommodating, a barrel of laughs and filled with the BEST and most organised days filled with fun! She honestly could not have made us feel anymore at ease! She filled us with consistent laughter, great recommendations & made our journey a complete breeze
Thank you to ONELIFE & especially Kate, for making this experience the best!

Everything was planned perfectly and I found it such great value for money! Travelled with an excellent group and felt that our guide Kate catered for our every need. Kate was a great guide, full of local knowledge, great recommendations and ensured everything was as smooth and easy for the guests as possible! Also loved her marine wildlife knowledge, she gave loads of great facts and insights during island hopping days and snorkel trips. Would absolutely recommend the tour to anyone thinking of visiting the Philippines! Compared to other tour groups we came across, One Life blow the others out the water! Had an amazing time!

The itinerary is well thought out and makes the most of the time frame (10 days is perfect, long enough to see plenty but not so long you get itchy feet). We had a really good insight into genuine Filipino life which isn’t always the case when travelling with a tour, and Kate’s passion about different destinations and the locals really made it feel like our money was benefitting the right people. The private island stay in Port Barton was an absolute highlight and something completely unique to OneLife. Having worked in the travel industry for a couple of years I can honestly say that in terms of value for money OneLife would be hard to beat, and imagining even attempting that itinerary as a solo travel made it seem even more worthwhile. Would definitely travel with OneLife in future :)

I do not feel that a single day was wasted or that there was nothing new about my experience from day to day. I feel that the tour had an excellent dichotomy between giving you the chance to explore on your own and having the guided experience that will give you memories for a lifetime. Transportation was great drivers and boat operators always very kind and made you feel safe. Even getting to experience local transportation such as the trikes. The accommodations were nothing special but only once did i not feel comfortable in my own room, which when expressed was sorted out in a timely manner by our helpful guide Kate. Most of the included meals all though good left a little to be desired in variety often being the same/similar meals from day to day. Once again our guide Kate comes to the rescue and will take the group to the best places in town for a delicious meal with a wide variety in styles. Kate's love for the Philippines was noticeable from day one, never seen without a smile. Kate was also very helpful with any questions or concerns you may have often getting them sorted out right away. Most mornings Kate could be seen helping the other guests out with their plans like transportation, destinations, or accommodations for once their tour was finished giving you a sense that she authentically cares about you and you are not just left on your own once the tour is done. Overall I would suggest this tour to any one traveling the Philippines, i have left very satisfied with my experience and plan on taking another One Life tour in the future!

It all starts before you even arrive in the Philippines. Our helpful guide Kate was able to answer any questions and get rid of any concerns you may have. She also gave us all of the steps that we needed so that once we were in the Philippines we could reach our first destination. (Z Hostel) Even arranging a car to come pick us up from the airport at the time we arrived. The destinations that we visited were all breathtaking. Everywhere we went we felt the need to take a picture so that we could remember the beautiful views there are in the Philippines. The Itinerary was excellent in balancing the dichotomy between keeping you busy enough that you felt that you could also do your own thing exploreing in your own way and guiding you through your adventure showing the stunning beauty that’s is the Philippines. Transportation is great weather it be from bus to boat all of the travel was comfortable and reasonable. On the long bus trips even playing games to help pass the time. Most of the accommodations we average I would say some are better some are worse there was only one time that I did not feel comfortable sleeping in the provided room, our guide was very helpful in getting us moved into a new room which was much nicer and got everything sorted out. The meals were very good but lacked in variety most days we had fairly similar lunches in the included meals. Any other meals Kate (our guide) would suggest a restaurant usually being a delicious meal with tones of variety. I do not thing that we could have had a better guide Kate was very helpful every step of the way, always able to sort out any issues or answer any questions you may have. I remember almost every morning Kate would be out helping our fellow travelers figure out there accommodations, transportation, and even destinations that they would go to after the tour was over giving a sense of ease where you do not feel that as soon as the tour is over you are just left on your own. You can really feel her passion for the Philippines in every activity you do, never seen without a smile on her face. I put my complete trust in Kate and feel that she drastically improved the experience that we had. Would 100% recommend this tour to anyone I know.

The trip is more of a budget style which is perfect for those on a budget and it has LOADS of inclusions!! I was super surprised to see that all the trike (Philippino taxi) and bus trips etc even to and from dinner where included as well as heaps of meals, the meals we had to pay for were also awesome, the restaurants recommended by our awesome tour guide Kate were “off the beaten path” and something I would have never chosen myself which was awesome and sooooo delicious!!!! I was travelling with my partner and we chose to room share and it was really fun as we had a really awesome group!! Just can’t recommend this trip any higher and our tour guide Kate was great very knowledgeable, down to earth, approachable and all round super cool! Knowing we were also supporting local smaller Phillipino communities was great and also heart warming as one life doesn’t pick the biggest business to go with but those that are smaller and create a better more inclusive environment which was great and heart warming to know! I had such a great time and can’t wait to travel with one life again!!!!!!

It’s everything I imagined and more. It was my first time travelling solo and I was extremely anxious when I landed in Manila but Kate couldn’t have been more welcoming. Everyday is packed full of activities which is great if you aren’t sure on what places are best to visit. I’m leaving the Philippines extremely satisfied in what I have done and seen. The food is great, the accommodation is way better than I expected and the people are beyond inspiring. Thank you thank you thank you One Life, you have made this the best week ever and I have made some friends for life. A big fat 10/10 from me!!! Also a big shoutout to Kate, this lady is a living legend and you’d be extremely lucky to have her as your tour guide.

The itinerary was really well organised, the activities were great and the inclusive food also brilliant. The tour didn’t have any hidden expensive costs and we felt it was really good value for money! We loved the Philippines and Kate made the tour so much fun. We felt there was a good balance between being super busy and having a few chilled days. The tour felt very local too, we experienced the local Filipino food and the locals were lovely! The Philippines experience day was a great experience - I would really recommend the tour and One Life!

Had the best time in the Philippines all thanks to Kate. She made this trip amazing with her positive energy, killer personality and enthusiasm for showing us the Philippines beauty.

The destinations we visited were amazing. The highlight for me was the private island camping, the Philippine sunsets and meeting some incredible people.

She has so much energy and was so much fun. It was different from other tours I’ve done because there was very little down time and everything was done in a group, even all the meals. It’s great for a solo traveler or new travelers because you’re very rarely by yourself. If you’re more of an experienced/independent traveler than it might not be your cup of tea. There’s a good amount of activity, but nothing too strenous that you need to be athletic. Our tour was 21 people and the age range was 19-30. There’s a lot of beach time, but the beaches were beautiful! I love how One Life is concerned about the environment and we were able to fill up our water bottles to cut down on the plastic waste.

Kate was very helpful and made the experience even more enjoyable.

Thank you!!

Kate almost felt more like a friend that knows all the dos and donts than a strict scheduled tour guide, she found the perfect balance and made me feel very happy and safe. The transport accommodation and food was all top notch and great value for money (amazing honestly!). I met some amazing people we all clicked instantly (as always with one life). I couldn’t recommend this tour more and I just want to say a big thank you to kate for putting up with my “no chill” anxiety I’ll miss you derely!
P.s everyone who I’ve met on this trip has made me learn something one way or another, you’re all very interesting and genuinely lovely people and I wish you all the best and to be safe on your onward travels,
I don’t like byes so... till we meet again❤️

Great itineraries, fantastic island, cozy and welcoming accommodations! Kate is lovely, she can fix every small problem and she’s so energized, sweet and organized!
Love the Philippines!

It was the perfect mix of island hopping, experiencing the Filipino culture, and fun activities like snorkeling, zipling, canopy walk etc. The tour is set up so conveniently and I couldn't have asked for a better tour guide than Kate. You can tell she loves the Philippines and wants everyone to enjoy their experience in every way. We had such a fun group to make everything about our trip just perfect. Don't hesitate to book this tour. You won't regret it!

The itenirary included a curated mix of cultural experience, activities and relaxation (highlights being an island zip line and two full days of island hopping). Meals always kept us well fed and the locally prepared lunches were especially delicious. The huge fresh fish grilled on the boat while we swam was worth a special mention.
Kate is a legend. She went out of the way to make sure everyone got the most out of the experience. Even with our particularly accident prone group. Kate’s love of the Philippenes islands and it’s people was obvious. We were lucky to see this beautiful place through her eyes and share her love for the country. By the end of the trip our group felt like a family. I don’t think everyone would have connected so strongly with a different guide.
The accomodation and transport had some minor issues, but nothing that impacted any parts of the trip.
Overall this tour was exceptional and far exceeded my expectations. I have already started recommending it to others. A group of us from this tour are already planning a One Life Sri Lanka trip.
Amazing 10 days. Beautiful country. Sea, Sun and Fun. Kate is a lovely person :-)

The activities were fantastic and all of them felt unique to island. Kate did an amazing job guiding us around and providing great tips throughout the trip. Her real skill was encouraging everyone to spend time together. The group became a family, and I hated saying goodbye.
I enjoyed this experience so much I got a tattoo to keep it with me.
This tour has a great Itinerary showcasing some of the most beautiful sites the Philippines has to offer. If you enjoy island hoping, snorkeling and being out on a boat, this is the tour for you.

Kate did such an amazing job, she knew her stuff, made everything fun but more importantly made everyone feel inclusive. If you’re a vegetarian there is still great food available and Kates recommendations of where to eat in the evenings were amazing. The accommodation is all great and exactly what you would expect from an island hopping tour, I love the private island especially.
IT WAS LIT.
Loved every day of it, great beaches, awesome people and chill vibes.

Kate made the trip so interesting. Had a problem with the booking through Radar Tour, I had selected a private room with my boyfriend but One Life Experience was NOT informed about it.
We ended up looking in different accommodations on our own expenses for the first night and the last 4 nights.
Highly recommend if you are looking for an adventure and not picky about your food nor your accommodations.

It was the perfect mixture of adventure, adrenaline and relaxation. Everyday was completely different and and filled with unique activities that you definitely don’t get to do in every day life. My favourite part of the trip was the underground river or the school visit, although some of the best parts were having a laugh with the group wether that was in a club or singing along in the bus together.
Kate is a ledgend!!!!! Everything you need in a tour guide, super helpful, funny and keen to really get to know everyone and join in the fun. She will be missed dearly by the group.

One of my favourite memories was the philipino day, climbing coconut trees and learning there traditional philipino dish, Chicken and Adobo, also meeting the tiny puppies.
Kate was amazing and so helpful throughout the whole tour, she also helped me get over my fear of zip lining across the sea. She made everyone feel welcome and part of a family, shes a great laugh and lovely to be around. I cannot wait to do another One Life Tour and would love to have Kate as my tour guide for next time when i return to the amazing Philippines. The Philippines really is amazing and im glad i got to experience all the things i achieved with Kate and the rest of the group.

The itinerary has a great mix of activities and inclusions that were well organised. There was only one activity was was not included (zip line) but, we were so spoilt for inclusions making this tour fantastic value for money. Some of my highlights were Island Hopping, School Visit, Private Beach Camp and some of the most beautiful snorkel spots in Palawan. A great mix of culture, adventure, beach and fun.
As a large group we had the coaster getting us around Palawan which Kate made sure everyone was comfortable as there are a few long journeys. They also include a few trike rides which are exciting!
In terms of accommodation Port Barton was one of my favourites, just do not expect hot water or wifi as we are going back to basics which is fab. I also really loved the One Life Exclusive beach camp. Expect no one but your One Life Fam, some amazing local guides and a few stars at night. A once in a lifetime experience.
We had so many meals included which was a mix of local and western food which was great. We even cooked our own local dish which was one of the best dishes i tried here.
Kate our tour guide is the best person to introduce you to this beautiful part of the world. She made everyone feel welcome and as a family we had some grewat laughs. She truly is passionate about the Philippines, very informative and is the best tour guide.
OL are about giving back as much as possible which was shown through-out the tour. After visiting the school project and meeting the locals it is easy to see why they are so loved here. They truly are creating a sustainable tourism company which gives back to the locals.
10/10 could not recommend this tour enough
GO ONE LIFE!

The days are fully packed and very well organized. That's why you see and learn so many things about the Philippines in a short amount of time. You also get the change to do things that you normally wouldn't do if you would plan your own trip. As example; sleep on a private island and see 6 different stunning islands in one day! I came alone to this trip but felt very welcome and I never was actually alone.
Kate our tour leader was really nice! It was good to see how passionate she is about the Philippines. She’s really fun and helpful as well! She showed us so many cool places.

Kate was exceptional, super organised, energetic, always willing to answer everyone’s questions and provided good tips and information on all places we visited. I couldn’t fault any of the restaurants or accommodation we visited and both catered everyone’s requirements. I couldn’t recommend this tour enough for solo travellers as camping on a private island wouldn’t have been an option for me otherwise and it turned out to be a really highlight for me.

If you are ever on tour and have any questions or issues I’ve found it is very important to communicate that clearly with your guide as they will do more then the expectation to suit your needs!
Would definitely do another One Life Adventure Tour!

It was amazing how much we could pack into every day! The accomodation well exceeded my expectations and the staff at every venue was so helpful and friendly. I think that the tour itself was a great balance of adventure, culture and fun.
Kate was a spectacular guide and could not have asked for a better person to introduce us to the phillipines. She was fun, easy going, full of knowledge and always such a spark of energy. Thank you for answering my constant stream of questions, you've given me plenty of tips to build my confidence to continue my solo journey through this beautiful country! It was also a privillige to be introduced to Kate's friends in Palawan and have the opportunity to learn a bit more about the culture and their day to day lives.
(Also, being from Perth credits her extra brownie points.)
Keep doing what you're doing guys and thank you for such a wonderful experience!

I have been able to explore and learn so much more about life int he Philippines than if I was travelling independently. The highlights for me must be the prison visit, school visit, island hopping and the over night stay on the island. These are all things that I would not have had the resources to do on my own- and they were all made so much more enjoyable by doing them with friends!
The food on the trip was absolutely amazing- the best parts must be the grilled fish, and bbq dishes that we ate on the beaches for lunchtimes.
Kate has been an exceptional guide and friend for this trip. Her knowledge of the Phillipenes is incredible, and I feel privileged that she has shared everything she knew about the local areas with us all. She was always on hand to answer any questions and queries off of people (however repetitive they may be!) and was always so cheery and bubbly.
Thank you so much Kate for the best trip ever!

I would highly recommend to anyone travelling solo or in a group. The itinerary has been detailed and any questions or queries Kate has been very accomodating and supportive to every individual needs. Flights, vans, boats and trikes have been a smooth travel especially when you have a guide who constantly ensures everyone is catered for. Each accomodation has had the loveliest staff. The meals provided have been authentic Filipino food which was delicious.
The highlight of my trip was camping on a private island. Would definitely do another tour with One Life Adventures!

The highlights of the trip have to be the days on the boats, swimming with turtles and visiting the starfish.
The food for the whole trip has been delicious, the best things we’ve eaten are the dinners on the beach front where we ate traditional food- the fish dishes weee just amazing.
Kate has been such an incredible guide and such a good friend for this whole trip. Every day has been so much fun and I genuinely don’t think that I have ever laughed so much in my life. She was so accommodating, had great banter and was always around to help if we had any questions! Her knowledge of the area was fantastic, and I have experienced way more than if I was here on my own.
I have fallen in love with the Philippines and a already making plans to come back. Thank you so much Kate and One Life Adventures!

Luckily the people whom we shared the tour with were lovely and Kate made for a great host . She was v.informative , helpful and her passion for the Philippines shone through as she guided and shared her expertise during our stay. Her positive and cheerful demeanor was infectious and I want to thank her for her efforts. The activities planned were all enjoyable and there was a lot to do and see ; I know that I would not have experienced so much had I not booked through One Life. The transportation provided was basic but was inclusive of the airport transfers which is a plus as it takes the stress away from having to plan that element of the trip. In terms of the accommodation, I think this could be improved in some locations, understandably some remote areas don’t have a lot of option however Elsa’s did have rooms with aircon and hot water which would have been the preferrable option. Again with the additional supplement paid for private accommodation, a higher standard would have been expected to justify the price. When it comes to the food, the eateries recommended by Kate were all very tasty and welcomed as some of the food provided within the tour was less than average. I think expectations need to be managed to accommodate western clientele for example specifying in advance that the Filipino food might not be suitable therefore offering the option to grab a packed lunch in advance to ensure all tastes are satisfied. All in all, I agree with the company values that you hold and I would highly recommend the tour as well as Kate as a hostess. With some improvements, this tour could definitely outdo the competition. Thank you for the memories.

It was amazing to experience all facets of life in the Philippines from school and prison visit to spectacular island hopping, wildlife and food. My tour guide Kate was a true star and made me feel super welcome and informed as well as her just being a super fun gal!

I can’t believe we fitted so much in in 9/10 days. Kate was a great tour guide - very enthusiastic and was always on hand to answer questions and made sure we knew what to pack/expect for each day which I liked. The Facebook group/photo sharing app she organised was really good. If I’m being honest I found the provided meals below average and unappetising but the dinners or lunches that weren’t included and we paid for ourselves were usually based on Kate’s personal recommendations which were very good and we had decent meals that I enjoyed. I like one life’s ethos of supporting local businesses i.e some of the eateries, however that should be based on a satisfactory level of standards that cater for western tastes instead of fish and rice every day which gets very monotonous. E.g the day of the underground river - a much better idea would have been to ask Canvas hotel to provide a higher standard of packed lunches rather than the lunch provided at the River buffet. The accomodation overall was basic, I found Z hostel very noisy, the hotel in Puerto Princesa was lovely but a bit of a waste considering it was the shortest stay we had and we didn’t really get to avail of the amenities like the pool etc. Higher class accomodation in El Nido/Port Barton would have been preferable as you actually spend much longer there. The hostel in El Nido had great staff, couldn’t be more helpful. Having paid the private room supplement approx 165 each (total £340 for a group of 2) there is no way the rooms we had in comparison to the standard dorms were worth £340 of an additional fee based on prices of the accomodation online which is disappointing given we probably could have had a higher standard of accomodation if we booked ourselves. the transport options included on the tour really do encompass everything and you get to experience the most amazing views on the boats, the coach options were quite cramped but understandably a necessary evil. Highlights were the Philippine experience day & boat party tour. I have seen more than I ever would have if I had of done this trip on my own but I do still feel there are aspects of the tour which could be improved - despite this I would still recommend one life to anyone who is looking to experience all the phillipines has to offer in 9 days with Kate an excellent, informed, enthusiastic guide and it is a great chance to meet new people and have a laugh while exploring a beautiful country.

Nice tour, with good food and incredible places we went to! Maybe improve the transportation because of lack of securety when it comes to the luggage attachment because we almost got the luggage smashed into our heads when the driver pushed the break. The toilet doors at the bungalows at «Elsa’s Beach Resort» should be improved because me and my roommate did not have a door.

The tour wasn’t as great as I expected it to be,but I still had a lot of fun and would recommend for solo travellers looking to step out into the world. The tour reminded me very much of a high school summer camp, which comes with both the good and bad. The meals were mostly decilicious, however, I did not enjoy the fish restaurant on the second night as it took hours to get food and was not the cleanest of places. The accommodation was mostly good, Port Barton was very basic, but the vibe was incredible and a highlight of the trip! Camping on the beach was also lots of fun and was a once in a lifetime experience! The biggest disappointment for me was the El Nido boat day. We couldn’t drink on the boat due to a new restriction. I was really looking forward to it and I feel it would have made the day a lot better. Another frustration was we didn’t get to go kayaking in the El Nido and do Tour C. This was due to both wind cancelling the trip and a new restriction limiting the amount of people in the area. Since this is one of the must sees of El Nido i was pretty disappointed not to be able to experience this, or informed of the new restrictions so I could have rethought my trip a little. All in all, Kate was an amazing tour guide. She constantly checked in with you and made you feel welcome and part of the group. Overall, I had a really fun time and fell in love with the Philippines.

I loved the experiences we had, especially the prison visit and our own private island camping, as these are things we would not think of if we are travelling independently. Onelife has a great outlook and I like how they try to give back to the community.
Our guide Kate was awesome as she was thoroughly organised, very friendly and had fun with us in all the activities. She had great recommendations, and helped us for any onward travel. I hope I can do another OneLife tour with Kate sometime very soon!

If people got sick she was always checking up on them and making sure they were okay. Some of the restaurants didn't seem prepared to cater for the large group so the service wasn't that great at times but the food was amazing. All the planned activities that we did were such an experience and not something I think I could have done on my own. I will definately recommend one life tours!

The whole experience has exceeded my expectations. The itinerary was well planned to ensure I experienced the full Phillipines experience. Our tour guide Kate was fantastic. She was a perfect blend of being fun, yet professional when necessary. We had bad luck with rain during the tour but she was quick to always find a plan B. She was very good at co-ordinating our large group (22) to ensure we were on time to everything. She showed great knowledge and experience when speaking about the history of the Phillipines. I would definitely consider One Life Adventures for future tours.

Even though the weather was unpredictable, Kate was forever upbeat and adaptable meaning we had the best time no matter the weather. She had the perfect balance between leading our tour and bringing all the fun which really trickled into every moment. I think the dynamic of the group and whole experience was exponentially better because of her authenticity. The private island was such a unique and breathtaking experience we couldn’t have gotten anywhere else. To be totally disconnected from the world, simply be present and bond for a short while was a rarely beautiful experience. You have to be open minded with the accomodation and really embrace it but as with the whole tour, you get out what you put in. Little touches like getting a delicious personalised cake for my husband’s birthday were very sweet. Overall, I’m so glad we booked this trip and would highly recommend taking this tour!

She provided enough information to make sure we could go out for the day and be prepared without ruining the surprise/experience. My only criticism here would be that it would have been useful to have worn closed footwear for the Philippine experience day and taken flip flops in the day bag, rather than being recommended that flip flops would be better. She managed to organise dinner on Christmas day and a private party for New Years for the whole group which was amazing and went out of her way to make bookings at restaurants for smaller groups based on everyone's preferences.
The itinerary has the perfect amount of downtime and activities, for the school trip I would have preferred this to have been more structured (i.e. assisting with teaching English in smaller groups) as I found it hard to engage with the kids. I scored the meals down as the general quality of service and food was not amazing although this is probably more a Philippines issue than a One Life issue, however with a group this size, splitting into smaller groups may have worked better even if the meals were staggered at the same restaurants as there were some long waits for food.

I don't think the canape walk was great and I would have preferred to have gone on an actual hike along one of the beaches.
I think we should have been a little better informed on what some of the activities were ahead of doing them, for example we arrived at the local school with no money so could not give them anything extra for them hosting us.
I would recommend this trip to my friends for sure and thought Kate was a good host, but couls as mentioned before, have been a little more informative of the activities in advance.

The tour was very well structured and organized; be it accommodation, bus rides or provisions for daily needs, there was virtually nothing we had to take care of ourselves. Credits for that go to Kate, our tour guide, who was helpful when we had questions, provided late night medical care and last but not least was extremely easy to get along with. If anything at all has room for improvement, the choice of local restaurants could’ve been more fortunate in some cases (long waiting times and limited offering). Overall, the amazing group experience I've had, combined with the impressions gained from the local activities, definitely left me with incredibly awesome, lasting memories.

To be honest, I was not to keen to take this trip with a bunch of people I did not know HOWEVER this tour has been a life changing experience and will now consider to do more Tour guided experiences more often. Kate, our tour guided was well experienced with wisdom and knowledge of the Philippines as well as the local towns and people. Kate also educated us with what one life adventures do alongside the local communities. It was not only a vacation but an educated experience.
Highly recommend to those wanting to experience something new with a twist and those on a budget! I will consider to do other one life adventures!!!

Very lovely and friendly and she had like six sense, she was able to read everyone's personality (likes/dislikes) within a day or two. I highly recommended this tour for those looking to travel to the Philippines on a budget or just wanting to experience something new. Its 100% one of my best experiences, whilst overseas, especially Port Barton, and the amazing overnight beach camping!

Kate was excellent - she was so fun and personable and so easy to get along with. She is so well informed about the country - she was able to answer every question we had and helped with anything we asked. She was super organised and professional, but also so much fun to hang out with and always up for a good time. She has a great rapport with the all of the people involved in our tour (hostel staff, the boat boys etc), which had a really positive impact on our tour. Cant rate everything highly enough! Such a great time :)

We saw and did some incredible things I would not have done without the tour. Point Barton was a big highlight for us - the local vendors were so friendly and kind (not to mention the food they cooked for us was the best I have eaten in the Philippines. I am sure it goes without saying that the island hopping was completely mind blowing - waking up to open the tent to face the island and ocean was the best was to start my day.
It was great to see the community and environmental aspect of One Life and in particular our amazing tour guide Kate. She was informative, patient, friendly and always caring. It was clear that Kate valued the ocean, the environment, the community and that she had already formed such a great connection to the locals.
I can't wait to see how One Life grows over the next few years and will be without a doubt booking another trip soon so a very big thank you to One Life and especially to Kate for giving me a once in a lifetime experience.

The food they provided was awesome. I got so many new experiences and I will miss the group, yaaaaaaas queen!

I love that the tour activities support local people and we really get to experience local life. I loved visiting Iwahig prison and the primary school in Port Barton and meeting everyone. I also love that the majority of the activities are included in this tour as I have found with previous tours with other companies a lot of the activities are optional. Island hopping in Port Barton and El Nido was so amazing and everyone I have met on this tour have become like a family! Our guide Kate has been the best, I can't thank her enough, she has well and truly made this trip one to remember. I will definitely book another trip with one life in the future!

Don't think about and just book this tour!...

My personal favorites were the visit to the children's school, the all-day island hopping tour and the camping trip on a remote island off Port Barton. Kate was an excellent resource for the tour participants, a fun guide that helped the group mesh together and was always there to help everyone take the most of their tour experience. I was a solo traveler but enjoyed making quick friends with all of my tourmates. This was my first tour experience, but I'll definitely be looking into more tour trips like this in the future.

I cant even fault one part of the tour, all activities and accommodation were really well organized. Ive seen so much in 10 days more then i excepted.

Our tour guide Kate did such an amazing job, will miss her so much as well.

One Life have a great ethos and live by it! The itinerary has given us a fantastic mix of what Palawan has to offer. Trying to think about what my fav part of the tour has been and to be honest I can't pick one thing! From the prison visit to spending time at a local school to camping on a private island, the Philippines experience, island hoping and the canopy walk it has all been amazing. Kate and the group we have had on the tour have made the trip all that much better. Kate has been a fantastic tour guide providing great insight into not only the Philippines but she has a fantastic knowledge of marine life!

Kate was super welcoming from the off with helpful tips even before we got there. The Philippines experience was definitely a highlight being taught to cook local food, climb coconut trees and learning all about local life. There were a few small changes to our itinerary due to bad weather and safety issues but Kate was quick to adapt things for us to make sure we got everything we wanted to do done. I had some pretty bad sunburn and travel sickness but Kate was always there with her first aid kit to help! #legend! I started the tour thinking the Phllippines wasn't for me but by the end I could easily consider moving here myself :) Thanks for an awesome tour Kate!

One life really manage to pack so many fantastic activities into 10 days and I'm gutted to be leaving it. Kate has been fab and getting us around to and from each activity all the while having a laugh with us. Met so many amazing people and had so many amazing experiences (including ziplining across the sea, climbing a coconut tree and camping on a secluded island), not to sound too cheesy but this really has been trip of a lifetime!!!! Book this tour you will not regret it!!

The itinerary gave us a huge variety of activities and allowed us an insight into traditional Filipino ways of life, took us to places I would have never gone to without the tour and gave us completely new experiences each day.
Kate as a tour guide was incredible. She was always willing to help and support us with any question or query and was always fun, enthusiastic and encouraging while also being very knowledgeable of the surrounding area. Thank you for making this trip even better.
I would recommend this trip to anyone who wants to see the Philippines. It is great value for money, the food is amazing and the people you will meet are incredible. One of the best trips I have ever done!

The itinerary allowed us to get a feel for traditional Filipino ways of life, took us to a number places to ensure that we felt we saw enough of the country and took us to places I would have never got to without this tour. The diversity of the activities meant that each day was different and new. This is one of the best tours I have ever done and I would recommend to anyone who wants to visit the Philippines to do this tour. It is great value for money, the food is incredible and the people you will meet are amazing.
Kate was fantastic as a tour guide - I literally couldn't have asked for anyone better to be our guide for the trip. She was always there to help and support us with any question or query and was also fun, enthusiastic and encouraging. Thank you for making the tour even better.

So many things to discover and to learn. What is amazing is that is not just laying around in the beach, the days are full of activities that try to show you how the life and culture of the Philippines really is and that was just priceless.
Kate was a momma, a big sister and a friend. She made the all experience even more worthwhile. Thank you Kat for taking care of us.
Looking forward for next year trip with one life

When we first arrived our own travel agents (not onelife) had made an error with our booking and the One life leader sorted it out within a matter of minutes for us, immediately making us feel at ease. The trip from start to finish was amazing! It was way above what I had expected. On top from all the amazing activities our tour guide Kate needs a special mention! Kate was amazing, from a nurse to a friend to an overall legend she had a solution for everything. She was never stressed (not that we knew) and lots of fun! I would deffinitly travel with onelife again!

Everything was faultless, the food amazing, boat trips fun, and the places you see in the Philippines are incredible. Kate our guide somehow made everything fall into place seamlessly, even when activities had to be re-arranged, she really has been the best tour guide I've had the pleasure of getting to know and spending time with. Thank you to both Kate and One Life for helping me have the best experience to date.

From partying on at first daunting streets of Manila to catching a stress free and pleasant flight to the palawan islands.
This tour was action packed with activities ranging from swimming with turtles to zip lining to a totally different island. The tour guide Kate was incredibly accommodating making sure i never felt left alone me being the only single boy and letting everyone know the best spots for food. This was my fourth guided tour of asia and has definitely been my favourite. Philippines has so much to offer and some of the friendliest people i've met in my life, usually these tours can be tedious but the end of this one life adventure just left me wanting more. Thanks for everything Kate you really did compliment the deal.

It honestly was a once in a lifetime experience and was all made possible by One Life and our amazing tour guide Kate, who was so knowledgeable and helpful throughout the trip, despite everything that was thrown at her! She went the extra mile for everyone in the group to make sure we got the most out of the experience and she was just generally one of the nicest people ever! The amount and variety of activities that were packed into the trip were incredible; it's so hard to pick just one highlight from the island hopping, the zip line or the private island experience to name just a few. I also thought the trip was perfectly paced, as I have done tours in the past where they have felt rushed but this one did not. What I especially love about One Life and what I think makes this company stand out from the rest is the fact that it gives so much back to the communities and prides itself on sustainable tourism. And to top it all off I got to spend 10 days with the best group of people! I would 10000% recommend this tour to anyone looking to visit the Philippines and hope to do another tour with One Life in the future.

I always felt comfortable, full, excited, and keen for more ! This tour showed respect for the local people, there culture, marine life and the enviournment. There was never a dull moment along the way, just packet with adventure. From boutique hostel to camping on a beach, this tour has it all. (Skinny dipping on the remote island at midnight is defiantly option but one of the highlights, just have respect for the locals and don't do it front of them !) Kate had all the right information, able to have fun with us as well as being caring and gently reminded us we have a huge day of activities the next day so dont get to carried away! 10/10

I’ve traveled with heaps of companies (G Adventures, Intro Tours, Contiki) and OneLife was by far the best company I’ve ever travelled with. They included so many activities I barely had to pay for anything. I have so much respect for the way their company operates, it’s clear the focus is on local sustainability and it’s such a pleasure to meet the locals, hear their stories, had be shown around by the experts. My favourite part was camping on the private island, sleeping under the stars, waking up to the beach sunrise then swimming with turtles. Best trip ever and I am so excited to do Sri Lanka with them next year!!

Amazing hilarious group of people, perfect mix of activities and chill time, and more things included than any tour I've done before. Felt more like a group of friends travelling together than a formal guide which I loved!

I had booked the trip last minute and hadn't studied the itinerary, I had also never been on a tour before but went with an open mind. This tour has blown my mind and every day has been a new adventure that I will never forget. The people I have traveled with and met have been so welcoming and brilliant company. Kate Justice, was our guide and probably the most down to earth and genuine person I've ever met. Going above and beyond everyday and making sure we get from A to B as safely and as fun as possible. At no point did I feel unsafe and bored, this was mainly down to Kate. Overall, if you're considering booking onto this tour - DO IT! You won't regret it and will have memories to last a lifetime.

However, after the time I spent with One Life Adventures I want to share my great experience with you. Personally, I think there would be no better way of experiencing the Philippines. What I like the most was that One Life made me feel like I was on vacation from the very first day with some good friends instead of being on some other impersonal, forced travel group. Last but not least, I wish you are as lucky as I was to have the lovely tour guide Kate, she was amazing! Don't miss that experience!

Honestly, I didn't know a ton about the Philippines before I booked this, but the experience exceeded all my expectations. A very well run, organized tour with a great tour leader Kate and a great group of other travelers. Every day was filled with so many incredible activities. Whether it was boating around little islands and snorkling with turtles and around stunning coral reef or interacting with local Filipino people at schools and a prison or learning about Filipino culture or waking up on your own remote private island after swimming in the ocean under the surreal starry sky the night before or kayaking around the most amazing limestone cliffs around El Nido and the list goes on. This trip literally had it all. With One Life Adventures we were treated so well by the local people who were genuinely excited for us to be here and supporting all the local communities. Super cool. And tour leader Kate was so helpful in making the experience so much fun for everyone and well organized. Can't say enough good things. Definitely will be looking into future tours with One Life Adventures.

As someone that has never done an organised tour before I was a bit skeptical, but to say my expectations were completely exceeded would be an understatement. Our tour guide Kate was nothing short of amazing. So knowledgeable, so caring, and just a downright amazing human. She looked after us so well and made sure we all had the most amazing time (which we did). We had a sightly smaller group but we were all like family by the end. The One Life tour itself was so well thought out. You get to do a bit of everything - my highlight being camping on a private island, sitting around a bonfire and midnight stargazing - absolutely amazing. Thank you One Life and thank you Kate for making me a complete tour convert. I can't wait to do another (the Japan one looks amazing).

Kate was like our Mama Bear who took such good care of us and only made the trip even greater for each and every one of us. She made sure that everyone was happy 24/7. Being a vegetarian I was worried about the food I might get but the food was just waaay beyond amazing. Each meal along the trip just got better and better. The pizza I got at Gorgonzola literally made me cry (not even exaggerating, there's a video for proof!) I have never drooled that much in my life. When you think of paradise, this trip will give you paradise like you wouldn't even expect. The people I have met along the way and the friends I've made on this trip is something I will cherish and remember forever. Highly highly recommend for anyone who just wants to get away, disconnect and have the best time of their life! Thanks for the memories One Life xx

We were lucky enough to have both Kate and Simen as guides, and both were outstanding! As a solo traveler, I also enjoyed getting to know and become friends with everyone on tour, which was a definite plus. I always felt safe and well cared for, and am so happy that I chose One Life for this Philippines experience. Could not recommend more!

OneLife manages to highlight not just the breathtaking scenery but also the beauty and kindness of the culture, making this an unforgettable experience. There are so so many reasons to do this tour, from the island hopping to the food to the puppies at almost every place we got to! None of this would have been possible without our AMAZING tour leader Kate, she brought energy to every activity, went above and beyond to ensure every person on the tour was having a great time and the group mascot (Kate's puppy Kali) wasn't a bad addition either!!
The entirety of the tour was brilliant from start to finish. Some of the highlights include island hopping for two days where we got to swim with turtles (twice!). One of the stops on island hopping was stopping off at a local school and where we got to chat to the children, all of whom then performed some dance routines for us, and ended up with all of us dancing on stage at the end. We then camped on a private island overnight which was a once in a lifetime opportunity which we wouldn't have got to do without OneLife. We also got to partake in the Philippine Experience where we learnt how to climb a palm tree, took part in a cooking lesson and learnt how to stick fight! Our tour leader Kate was absolutely brilliant, super knowledgeable and friendly, giving the best recommendations and advice - she definitely counts as one of the highlights!!

Theres almost no cons to joining on in this tour, you explore the true culture of what the Philippines have to offer on one of the best islands in the world, going into depth of the Filipino culture how they use coconuts for different benefits right down to the best place/time to view the sunset. Everything is thought of, all you have to do is show up.
As this is my second tour with OneLife, its obvious that I enjoy the way that everything is organised and how it promotes the motto of 'responsible travel' by giving back to the community in more ways than one - reusable bottles, sending support to local schools and communities through rubbish collection and using only local employees, something I hugely admire from an organisation that simply wants to express the love of travel in many different and unique ways whilst still supporting locals
The Philippine experiences gained from this amazing tour is just endless - from the way we live in each accomodation from Luxurious to Local, to the coral reefs explored during a snorkelling trip when island hopping. The local communities and schools we visited and supported throughout the tour only add one aspect of the adventure throughout. Trying different food and getting to know other people from all over the world that have come together for one reason - to explore the beauty of the Philippines and OneLife do exactly that
The people, the beaches, the food, the sunsets, the puppies, the culture, the way of life was a huge highlight to me but if I had to select 1 highlight from the tour to enclose the whole trip was the night away on our own private island off Port Barton, playing beach volleyball and finishing off with a feast and the some beverages around a fire playing games, it really couldn't get much better than that.

Second tour with this company in a different destination and still amazed at the quality and quantity of all things involved, reasonably priced, options to join or choose is always yours but if you don't complete you don't experience the One Life adventure have to offer.
Easy booking and communications between the tour company, guide and guests involved which made dealing with any questions or unforeseen circumstances so much easier and hassle free.

Highlight of the tour was our guide, Kate, she went above and beyond in all aspects of the trip, a genuine and kind person, who when a lot of the Philippines went into lock down at the end of our tour worked her guts off to make sure she got everyone where they needed to be safely. This meant spending 12+ hours of her time, effort and energy poured into her work and guests which proved she has a true passion for what she does and care for those she does it with. My highlight within the activities themselves would be going to the school and getting to meet, play and dance with all the beautiful kids who went there. Truely an indescribable experience!

You get to meet new people and, even do it’s not mandatory to join in activities, you should like to socialise and be around people. Be prepared for a lot of snorkelling and getting around on a boat, only smaller variations from day to day. The water is clear and reefs are flowering! You should like sun, salt water, nature and sand, and be prepared for simple accommodations, sometimes without hot water. But it’s all worth it!
The clear water and colourful reefs. I didn’t have the opportunity to swim with turtles, but that’s a cool thing if you get the chance! I was really looking forward to the prison visit, but due to the ongoing corona virus they closed down for outsiders, which is understandable but unfortunate. Apart from the water and snorkelling, the cultural day was really funny and interesting.

As expected from information
Island hopping and snorkeling

Excellent well organised tour with a very knowledgeable tour leader
Snorkeling was exceptional but snorkeling with green turtles and snorkeling into the Cathedral Cave was absolutely next level

Our guide was amazing.
I also loved playing card games, volleyball, camping, and the zipline!

Honestly couldn’t fault a thing! Every day just got better and better and I couldn’t wipe the smile off my face for the whole trip! If I had to pick though the island hopping days were personal favs and I loved the area we stayed in Port Barton - such a vibe!

Kate, our guide, was a LEGEND. You could approach her about anything. She was always on top of everything. You can tell she loves her job and this country so much!
Port Barton Island hopping days and beach camping!!!

It exceeded my expectations
We did many activities and had the opportunity to visit one of the 7th wonders of the world.

Not anything about religion or day by day life. Good girls, but only that. Another thing is that you need a good -moderate physical condition to go through some of the trekking and to manage your baggage by yourself and walk with it around local transportation like trains or ferry lines. Not easy if you have a carry one or a heavy back pack. It's ok. But they should let you know about it and let you decide first. And you will not receive any help from the guide. I fell down on the way out of a local ferry, and the guide never noticed that. They just keep walking with the rest of the group. For me the most disappointing thing was not be able to learn anything new. Only one of the local guides of one of the temple speak English fluently and gives us information about traditional rituals. Nothing else on a eleven days tour. Very sad.

The cultural experience you gain along the way is like no other, with tree climbing, local cooking and tasting the local liquor you’ll have an absolute blast! Perfect experience for a group or lone travelers! 100000% recommend, and you will meet some great people along the way!
Oh where to start, tour guide Kate was epic, the island hopping from Port Barton and El Nido, the sunset sundowners at Port Barton, the rooftop restaurants with amazing views, the sunset view restaurants, the crystal clear waters, the cultural experiences and the list could just go on forever! The group, even though with this one we were at max capacity, it was still lovely and everyone was adventurous and willing to give everything a go! Loved it all over! Might need better mattresses on the island camping though!

The Island hopping days were incredibly enjoyable and were an absolute stand out for me.
The restaurants and recommendations throughout the tour were all great.

The highlight from this tour for me was the 2 day island hopping from port barton. It was amazing to be on a island with the group alone!

I barely had to think about what we were doing during the days with one life taking care of everything for me and looking out for us from start to finish, effectively securing our own little one life family at the conclusion of the trip! It’s the best way to make sure you see everything and miss out on nothing !
Island hopping is insane !! Personally the tour guides made my trip what it was, with both Kate Justice as our tour leader and Tom Debenham as our tour guide in training they both ensured our safety throughout the trip, and made it enjoyable from start to finish. Considering he was in training... tom did a fantastic job at being both professional and friendly. The sights speak for themselves.. how can you not enjoy it !

Kate the tour guide was amazing and was super easy and friendly to talk to if anyone had any concerns or just to talk to as a mate. Experiencing the culture of beautiful country and getting amongst it with the daily outings.

I’ve done a few tours around Asia with different tour companies and this was definitely most exciting and well organised. There wasn’t a single day that I wasn’t looking forward to!
Our tour guide (Kate), was incredible and kept up so much energy throughout.
One of the main highlights was the island hopping on in Port Barton, I’ve never seen such clear waters.

Island hopping around Port Barton - PB is such a special place and you could spend days on end enjoying the white sand beaches and reggae bar.

The whole experience was really positive for me. Kate, our guide, was exactly what you needed in a tour mum - knowledgeable, passionate, approachable, caring, and protective of her 'kids'. The intinerary was more or less exactly what I expected and a good balance of the adventurous and the 'touristy' type stuff for the 'gram. The One Life team also thoughtfully scheduled things so we would get decent downtime to relax, do washing, catch up on life admin, etc. I'd totally recommend this tour to anyone who is keen to see Bali and beyond at a really affordable price with a bunch of people who care about travellers' experiences and the environment.
