What people love about touring Philippines solo
- PhiIippines in a Week
This was such a fun trip! Philippines is such a beautiful country and friendly people. The food is diverse, delicious and very affordable. The canyoneering in Cebu was incredible. Swimming with whale sharks was magical. All the beaches we visited were all beautiful. I can't wait to go back!
- 10 Days Philippine Tour
While no tour is perfect, this was very good. Excellent itinerary and ticked all the boxes on what we wanted to see and do. Jin from the agency was in constant contact keeping us updated on pickup times and scheduling. If you are looking for 5 star hotels, this is not your tour. The hotels however were clean and very adequate, in good locations. Considering this tour included 4 domestic flights, excursions and hotels, it was an excellent deal and worth the money. They exceeded my expectations.
I had a great experience, the person that I was in contact all the time Moya was amazing. All the places I stayed I was happy with, the tours and transport excellent, everyone was always on time. I stayed in pretty good places can’t complaint really, and never had a worried about anything. From the beginning until the end no hiccups. I would recommend this tour.

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."
