What people love about Philippines Tours for Young Adults
- East Philippines Classic 10 Day - One Life Adventures
Previously completed the West Tour with One Life in May 2023 and had to come back to do the East Tour. Bono & Christian made it a trip to remember, their knowledge and commitment to community and education is a key highlight of the tour, recommend!
- Philippines Island Explorer 17 Day
I did the 17-day Philippines tour with Intro Travel & honestly had the best time! The company was super flexible & everything felt really well organised leading up to the tour. Zoe - Our tour leader, honestly made the trip. She was fun, knowledgeable, provided lots of laughs & made everything feel so easy. A great tour guide really does take a trip from good to unforgettable & I couldn’t fault her one bit! My favourite part of the whole experience was, without a doubt, the boat expedition. The food was incredible, the islands were absolutely stunning & I loved that the accommodation had a unique, non-traditional feel to it - it really added to the adventure! I also loved visiting the school & watching the local dancers in Calibangbangan. One of the other highlights was when a group of us went to a local basketball game in Coron. I love getting amongst the local culture whenever I travel & this was such a cool way to do that.
- Philippines Siargao Adventure
Had the best trip with Orty as the tour leader! Couldn’t fault him in the way he led the trip and the extra activities he added into the itinerary. Was very accommodating to food restrictions!
