Operated by One Life Adventures
OUR STORY: At One Life, we’ve always seen tourism as an opportunity to make a difference. We wanted to prove that tourism was more than seeing places you could have never imagined and to show people that travel could be impactful, ethical and quite literally, life changing. So that’s what we did; we put local communities, the environment and personal development at the heart of our operations and five years later, we’ve run life changing trips for thousands of travellers and are currently rated #1 worldwide. We started out in the Philippines, moved over to Sri Lanka just a year later and then launched Japan the following year. All three tours are now multi-award winning and our Japan trip was even rated #1 worldwide in 2019. We just opened two brand new tours in Indonesia and India and extended the massively popular Japan trip by another four days (we just had to make it longer!). HOW WE OPERATE: We choose to keep our group sizes small, to allow for more meaningful connections to be made between our guests and the local communities we travel through and to keep your experience as personal as possible. Immersing our guests in the local culture, while offering the opportunity to relax and reset in some of the most stunning locations the planet has to offer is what it’s all about. We’ve searched high and low to find unique activities and one off, special accommodations that will leave you with memories to last a lifetime. From kendo classes in Japan with a descendent of a real samurai, to waking up on your own private beach at our beach camp in the Philippines, these are unique adventures you’ll be talking about for years. All inclusions are listed on your booking page and you’ll receive all the info you need for your travels before you even step foot in the country. No hidden costs and plenty of time to prepare. Your epic One Life group leader and our legendary local guides are there to help you have the time of your life, every step of the way. Sit back, relax and enjoy the ride - we promise it’s a good one! WHY TOUR WITH US: We put our money where our mouth is and put our guests, the local communities and the environment at the very centre of what we do. Our guests have rated us so highly over the years that we’ve won multiple awards both for our life changing trips AND for the guides that run them. 2 of TourRadar's top 3 Guides of the Year in 2018 were One Life Adventures guides and all 3 of our longest running tours are rated #1 in their respective destinations. We are committed to keeping our tours environmentally friendly by keeping plastic waste to a minimum. On our tours you’ll find our suppliers providing eco-friendly alternatives where possible, our accommodation providers providing refill stations and you’ll even be able to buy our plastic free merchandise. We stock reusable water bottles, tote bags, metal straws and even washable bamboo cotton face masks. What’s more, the profits from these items go towards the community projects we set up and run in each country - from school development projects to spay/neuter programmes for stray animals! When you tour with us, you know your money is going back into the local communities you're visiting - where it's needed most. OUR COVID POLICIES: All our tours are operating under the direction of local COVID regulations, with reduced tour numbers in the majority of our destinations and all tour guides having had specific COVID training to ensure the safety of our guests and the remote communities we visit. All guides and suppliers are equipped with hand sanitiser and hand washing stations, all transport is private-only where possible and all dorm rooms are operating at a reduced capacity. Should you wish to upgrade into a solo room, this is also possible in some of our destinations. Both our policies and those of our local suppliers have been updated due to COVID and these will be strictly adhered to in order to protect everyone as much as is possible when travel resumes.

- Aaron· June 5th, 2023Sheena our guide was excellent. I thought the first night was a waste of time meeting in Manila for dinner, then getting up at 1.30am to catch a flight. But overall good value for money.One Life Adventures commented on this reviewThank you Aaron for your review and feedback. The first night in Manila is essential to have everyone arrive at the same time in Palawan. We also get an awesome view of the city when we have our rooftop welcome meal in the heart of Manila.

As a tour booking website, TourRadar cannot organise visas for you on your behalf as the visa requirements are regularly being updated and vary for the nationality of one traveller to the next. It is for this reason that we recommend checking with your local embassy or consulate website for the latest up to date information.
- When and where does the tour start?
The tour generally starts from Z Hostel in Manila at 5 pm on the first day, which means that you can arrive at any time before that.
Please note this is subject to change until your booking is confirmed. - Do you offer payment plans?
Yes, we definitely do! TourRadar does provide a free flexible payment option for you to pay by instalments provided full payment is not due at the time of booking. This means you can slowly pay down the balance of the tour before the final payment due date. The minimum instalment amount you can pay is stated on your booking conversation page.
- Can you assist with booking additional accommodation?
Of course, we can! Once you have a confirmed booking on this tour, we can request additional accommodation before or after the tour with the tour operator.
- Can I finish the tour one day early?
Of course you can, however, it would mean you would miss out on the final day with the group and the tour operator is unable to offer a discount for choosing to do this as the tour cost is a set package.
- What does the tour price include?
To see what is included on the tour, please click on 'Whats Included' on the tour page.
- Do you arrange airport transfers?
One Life Adventures provides a complimentary arrival transfer on the first day of the tour. Departure transfers are not included and are unable to be pre-booked, however, we would recommend speaking to your tour guide on day 1 of the tour as they will be able to offer additional advice for you.
- Will this tour involve a lot of physical activity?
There are some physical activities on the tour however as long as you have no issues with limited mobility and are up for a good time, you will have a great time!
