What people love about Philippines Tours in October
- East Philippines Classic 10 Day - One Life Adventures
Well organised tour, perfect for water sports enthusiasts and partygoers. Gives a glimpse of what Philippines has to offer, to first time travellers to the country. Loved visiting the Badjao school and the Motag Living Museum. Didn’t enjoy going into Badjao people’s homes, felt it was intrusive. Other interesting activities included a visit to the Tarsier sanctuary and the Chocolate Hills. Accommodation provided is very good, better to opt for your own room if you are a solo traveller.The tour can be hectic at times, especially the first few days, some events require getting up at 3 am! The tour can be improved by including more Filipino tour guides who can give an indepth historical and cultural perspective, and ease the work for the main guide. Day 9 is free and Day 10 is just travel to the airport, so if you don’t have much to do in Boracay, you can leave on the 9th day. This was the inaugural East Philippines tour and it was well done for a first time attempt.
- Philippines Island Explorer 13 day
This trip was just amazing! We saw amazing islands with white beaches, crystal clear blue water, beautiful rock formations and impressive underwater world. Everything I expected from the Philippines, it looked like. We had a fun group, with top group leaders Josh, Sam and Jeremy. We all shared some incredibly beautiful moments together and will do it again in a heartbeat! Memories made for life!
- West Philippines Classic 10 Day - One Life Adventures
Derrick was truly amazing, he always got involved with activities and made us all feel very welcome. i couldn't have asked for a better group or tour guide. I felt very apprahensive prior to travelling as this was the first tour i had done where everything was included but with this experience i can honestly say this won't be the last :)
