  • S

    Suzanne

    Asked on January 8th, 2026

    I am definitely keen to do either one tour that covers those areas around Cebu and the areas around Palawan. Or two tours that do it separately. The only thing is that we land in Cebu from New Zealand so is it possible to cut out the Manila part of the trip we enquired about or is there a different one leaving from Cebu?

    Flights / Transfers
    Tour Details
    • INTRO TravelOperatorWritten January 2026

      Our 13-day Philippines tour is priced at $3,699 per person. As all of our tours are sold as set packages, we're unable to shorten or split the itinerary to adjust the price. You're very welcome to join the group in Cebu on Day 2 (4th Feb), however the tour price would remain the same even if you miss the first day.

    • S

      Suzanne

      TravelerWritten January 2026

      do you have any options leaving from Cebu or from the Palawan area? I just don't want us to fly from Cebu to Manila to then fly straight back. A tour that covers the Cebu area (Maolboal canyoning, Boroquay, Sunilon island), Palawan / coron area, or one tour that does both. Budget ideally, doesn't need to be fancy. So dont mind 3 star accommodation. My partner and I will be sharing a room

    • INTRO TravelOperatorWritten January 2026

      if you're happy to join us on Day 2 of our tour (4th February) you can meet us in Cebu. We offer two itineraries within the Philippines, our 13 day Philippines Island Explorer trip, and our 17 day Philippines Island Explorer trip. The 13 day tour still covers Cebu and Palawan and includes canyoning. Although we do not visit Boroquay or Sunilon Island on this trip, if you'll be continuing your travels around the Philippines after your INTRO tour ends, then your Group Leader will be able to help you organise all elements of your onward travel. all rooms are twin share, you'll be sharing with your partner throughout the tour.

    Jeremy

    Asked on October 16th, 2025

    What is the maximum number of people that can be accommodated in one room on this trip? I'm a solo traveler and I don't want to sleep in a dormitory.

    Accommodation
    • INTRO TravelOperatorWritten October 2025

      Most of our trips use twin share rooms, which means you'll only ever share with one other traveler of the same gender. No dorm rooms at all, so you can rest easy knowing you'll have a comfy space to relax after each day's adventure.

      TravelerWritten October 2025

      How old will my roommate be? I'm over 40 and I don't want to be a killjoy for younger people, when I go to bed earlier because of the jet lag. They should go out as long as they want to.

    • INTRO TravelOperatorWritten October 2025

      The majority of people on our tours are aged 18 to 40, but we regularly have people in their 40's travel with us and have an incredible time! We wont be able to tell you how old your roomie is until you have a trip chosen and were close to the start date, however we will do our best to room you with someone of a similar age.

    Age Range
    • INTRO TravelOperatorWritten October 2025

      The majority of our group members on our Philippines trips are in their 20's and 30's, so unfortunately I don't think our tours would be suitable for you.

    Abigail

    Asked on May 30th, 2025

    What time do we all meet on day 1 in Manila for this tour?

    Tour Details
    • INTRO TravelOperatorWritten May 2025

      On Day 1 of your trip, there are no planned activities during the day as this is when most people choose to arrive. The group meets around 7pm for a welcome dinner, so we recommend arriving before then if possible. If not, no worries! We can still arrange your airport pickup, and you can meet up with the group afterwards.

    Ann

    Asked on April 26th, 2025

    I am interested in this trip. I am a 30 year old guy solo traveler. I wanted to ask, is there a possibility to know how many males and females are already booked for the trip on 7th of May and for the trip on the 10th of May ( or more or less if exact number cannot be given)

    Group size
    Tour Details
    • INTRO TravelOperatorWritten April 2025

      Our 7th May tour has 21 bookings, 4M + 17F! Our 10th May tour has 19 bookings, 6M + 13F!

    • A

      Ann

      TravelerWritten April 2025

      So how many spots are still left? Because I already see 21 people already booked. Is it usually around 20-25 people?

    • INTRO TravelOperatorWritten April 2025

      We have just 1 space remaining on the 7th May tour with a maximum capacity of 22 people!

    • A

      Ann

      TravelerWritten April 2025

      Please let me know if there is any specific deadline day to register for that spot ( if it will still be available) as I am still considering my trip and not 100% sure about it. And for the trip on 10th of May, do you have the same number of total spots (22 persons)?

    • INTRO TravelOperatorWritten April 2025

      We're unable to request or hold a space without a deposit/booking so if you'd like us to check availability please do let us know ASAP. Our 10th May tour does also have 22 spots available but due to the start date approaching, we'd just need to confirm we can accept a late booking.

    Teresa

    Asked on March 1st, 2025

    My husband and I are interested in taking a tour with this kind of itinerary. We would also like to add more snorkeling sites, if possible. We are both elderly, but very agile and are too old for this particular tour. Do you have other tours that might be appropriate for us?

    Tanya

    Asked on January 29th, 2025

    Is a private or shared room in this price?

    Accommodation
    • INTRO TravelOperatorWritten January 2025

      The price quoted is based on sharing, and throughout the trip we room you with another solo traveller of the same gender and do our best to room you with someone of a similar age. All of the accommodation on our Philippines trip is twin share. If you would like to have your own room throughout the trip, this would come at an extra cost.

    • T

      Tanya

      TravelerWritten January 2025

      how much would cost a private room? is this price twin share, right?

    • INTRO TravelOperatorWritten January 2025

      it's based on twin share with another group member. What currency would you be paying in and I can let you know the cost to upgrade to a private room.

    • INTRO TravelOperatorWritten January 2025

      It would be an extra $500 AUD to upgrade to a private room. If you would like to proceed with a private room upgrade, please let me know your preferred start date and I can check availability for you

    • INTRO TravelOperatorWritten January 2025

      Yes, we currently have availability for a private room on this start date. Once you've secured your spot on this tour, just let us know and we can add on the private room to your booking, as there isn't an option to include it during the booking process.

    Asked on January 19th, 2025

    Is there any additional fees for single travellers?

    Price / Availability
    Single supplement
    • INTRO TravelOperatorWritten January 2025

      There are no addtional fees for single travellers, the price you see is per person :)

    • T

      Timothy

      TravelerWritten January 2025

      is that price for shared accommodation or private rooms? If it is shared, how many people in the room?

    • INTRO TravelOperatorWritten January 2025

      You'll stay in a variety of amazing accommodation whilst on tour in majority twin rooms. We don't charge single supplements on our trips as most of our Group members are solo travellers. For this reason, the trip price is based on you sharing a room with another solo traveller of the same gender and similar age. It's worth saying as well that Group Members are in their hotel rooms for a very limited time throughout the trip, as there are activities most days and things planned most evenings.
