  • S

    Sara

    Asked on September 8th, 2026

    I arrive on Jan 7 2027. I am leaving the Philippines on Jan 28 2027.

    Flights / Transfers
    • UME Travel Co. LtdOperator•Written September 2026

      I've checked our available departure dates for January 2027, and within your travel period, the available date for this tour is January 11–22, 2027. Since you'll arrive in the Philippines on January 7 and depart on January 28, we can use this 12-day tour as the main part of your trip and arrange some additional hotel stays and/or private activities before January 11 and after January 22 to perfectly match your overall schedule.

  • G

    Gillian

    Asked on August 18th, 2026

    Is it possible to have better accommodations on this tour? There are a couple of hotels we'd prefer to upgrade (i.e. in El Nido and Puerto Princesa)

    Accommodation
    • UME Travel Co. LtdOperator•Written August 2026

      The hotels shown on the tour page are our standard accommodation option, which uses our standard hotel selections. We also have a comfort accommodation option available. The itinerary and activities remain exactly the same — the only difference is the hotel category, mainly for the Palawan area.

      Standard Hotels:

      Puerto Princesa: Costa Palawan / Aziza Hotel / Palawan Uno Hotel / Rema Tourist Inn
      Port Barton: Holiday Suites
      El Nido: Cuna Hotel
      Coron: Venus Royale Hotel / Sunlight Guest Hotel / Sunz En

      Comfort Hotels (Upgrade Option):
      (Only the Palawan section can be upgraded because the destinations are smaller and hotels are relatively close to each other, making this upgrade arrangement possible.)

      Puerto Princesa: Hue Hotel / Best Western Ivywall
      Port Barton: Holiday Suites
      El Nido: El Nido Garden Resort / Huni Lio
      Coron: Zuri Resort / Bacau Bay Resort

      If you would like to upgrade to the comfort hotel option, the additional cost would be USD 480 per person.

    • G

      Gillian

      Traveler•Written August 2026

      What would the price be for Feb 21 date for comfort option?

    • UME Travel Co. LtdOperator•Written August 2026

      The price for upgrading standard hotel to comfort hotel on 21st Feb is USD 205 per person.

    • G

      Gillian

      Traveler•Written August 2026

      So the total per person for the Feb 21 date? When would payment be due?

    • UME Travel Co. LtdOperator•Written August 2026

      For the February 21 departure date, the tour price is USD 1,875 per person based on the current standard hotel category.

      Once the booking is confirmed, I will add the Comfort Hotel upgrade, which is an additional USD 205 per person.

      Therefore, the total price including the Comfort Hotel upgrade will be USD 2,080 per person.

      Please note that this price is valid until August 22.

    • G

      Gillian

      Traveler•Written August 2026

      Can you tell me the maximum number of people in the tour?

    • UME Travel Co. LtdOperator•Written August 2026

      The maximum group size for the land transfers will be 16 passengers. However, for some of the island-hopping tours, the group size may be larger, depending on the specific tour and the number of guests joining on that day. In some cases, the group could be around 20 or slightly more passengers.

    Tom

    Asked on March 9th, 2026

    Is it possible to add flt from Manila to Puerto Princessa and from Coron to Bohul to this tour? Cost?

    Flights / Transfers
    • UME Travel Co. LtdOperator•Written March 2026

      We'd be happy to assist with booking your flights, but if you prefer to book them yourselves, you might find it more cost-effective. Please let me know the dates you're interested in, and I'd be happy to check flight prices for you.

  • E

    Eileen

    Asked on January 31st, 2026

    This tour says that it's fully guided and yet the daily itinerary says the guide will not be there for several transfers. Which is it?

    Tour Details
    • UME Travel Co. LtdOperator•Written February 2026

      In our itinerary, all sightseeing activities and guided visits are fully accompanied by a professional guide. Whenever there is a tour, attraction visit, or cultural experience included, the guide will be with you to provide explanations and assistance.

      For airport transfers or point-to-point transfers only (for example, hotel to airport, or city A to city B without sightseeing), these services are arranged as private transfers with a driver only, and a guide is not included for those segments.
