What people love about touring Philippines solo
- West Philippines Classic 10 Day - One Life Adventures
One of the best calls I've ever made in booking this trip. Right from my pre trip initial questions through to getting off the plane back in Sydney I experienced nothing but exceptional service. Fantastic value for money and Joe was brilliant with the group. From one stop to another everything was ready and waiting for us. If you want to travel with a big group of like minded people I would highly recommend these guys!
- Wanderlands Philippines - 12 Days
The best tour I've ever done. The phillipines is such an amazing country with so much to offer. I booked this tour as I really didn't know much about where to go, the itinerary is so good. From jumping off cliffs to swimming with whale sharks I did so much in 12 days. We stayed in some unreal hotels just seconds walk from some of the worlds best beaches. Our tour guide shel was really cool. She was good fun and had a lot of local knowledge about her home country which was good. This is my second tour with wanderlands travel and I couldn't recommend using them enough.
- North Philippines Explorer
Ronnie, our guide, was absolutely fantastic. Always available and attentive to our needs. He went above and beyond to ensure that the group felt comfortable and his attention to detail was next to none and even by going that extra mile to ensue we tasted the local delicacies. Would highly recommend this tour and hopefully you will have the extra perk of having Ronnie as your guide. Some parts of the itinerary had to be changed but the back-up plan suited everyone and was very enjoyable.
What our customers ask about Philippines Tours for Solo Travelers
How easy is it to meet other travelers as a solo traveler on Philippines group tours?
Meeting other travelers comes naturally on Philippines group tours. The shared experiences from island hopping in El Nido to snorkeling at Balicasag Island create easy connections between travelers. Most tours include group meals and activities where conversations flow freely. Places like Bohol Beach Club are set up with common spaces that make mixing with fellow travelers effortless. A TourRadar traveler noted: "The small group size made it easy to bond with others while exploring beautiful places like the Underground River in Puerto Princesa."
Which areas of Philippines are most solo traveler-friendly?
Boracay El Nido and Bohol stand out as the most welcoming spots for solo travelers. These destinations combine well-developed tourism facilities with plentiful group activities and safe environments. El Nido's daily island hopping tours bring together travelers naturally while Cebu City offers both heritage sites and modern comforts. Places like La Natura Resort serve as comfortable bases where solo travelers often cross paths. A TourRadar traveler shares: "El Nido was perfect as a solo traveler - the group tours to lagoons and beaches made it easy to meet people while feeling completely safe."
What type of accommodation can solo travelers expect on Philippines tours?
Accommodations range from upscale hotels to beachside cottages. You might stay at the Seda Bonifacio Global City in Manila one night and find yourself in a traditional Filipino beach hut the next. Popular choices include Hotel Covo in El Nido and District Boracay on Boracay Island. One TourRadar traveler mentioned "the accommodations were perfectly situated to experience both city life and island paradise." Solo rooms are available for an extra fee though shared rooms offer a budget-friendly option.
How much spending money should solo travelers budget for additional expenses?
Plan for 30-50 USD daily beyond tour inclusions during a 10-day Philippines trip. This covers extras like the 250 PHP boatman fee at Pagsanjan Falls additional meals and personal expenses. City meals in Manila cost 5-15 USD while beach activities in El Nido such as kayaking or extra island tours range from 20-40 USD.
What's the typical group size for solo traveler-friendly tours in Philippines?
Palawan and Boracay offer excellent infrastructure for solo travelers with regular group activities. El Nido's island hopping tours to Hidden Beach and Secret Lagoon bring travelers together while Coron's snorkeling at Kayangan Lake attracts groups. Manila's Intramuros district works well for solo exploration with guided walking tours available. A TourRadar traveler notes: "El Nido was perfect for meeting other travelers while still feeling safe to explore independently."
Is it safe to travel alone with a group through Philippines?
Group tours provide a secure way to explore the Philippines. Local guides handle logistics between islands like Palawan Boracay and Cebu while arranging stays in established hotels such as Seda Lio in El Nido. As one TourRadar traveler shared: "Having a knowledgeable guide made me feel completely secure even in more remote areas like the Underground River in Puerto Princesa."
