- 10 Days Do The Philippines Adventure - Palawan Islands (Independent Tour)
This was an amazing 10 day tour of the Palawan islands in the Philippines. Starting at Puerto Prinsesa we journeyed up north through El Nido to Coron. Visiting must see locations with breathtaking views, it truly is an experience of a lifetime. The food was amazing and greatly exceeded all expectations, and our tour guide Jovian was excellent. He was so friendly and lively, doing his best to accommodate everyone, and make sure everything runs smoothly. He was very supportive of me and went above and beyond when I had an unfortunate injury at one of the beaches we went to. Overall the trip wouldn’t have been the same without him, he was one of the many highlights on this tour.

Amazing Trip Travelling around the Philippines with INTRO Travel is possibly one of the best decisions I have made. A trip that has been well thought out to provide an experience that offers everything you want to experience and more from the Philippines. Seeing both sides of nature from above and below the water the beauty that the Philippines holds will take your breath away. With a knowledgable group leader to guide you along everyday and travelling around with an amazing group of now best friends makes the trip with INTRO even more special.
