- Makayla· May 27th, 2025I couldn’t have asked for a better tour guide! Jet made sure all accommodations were made and that every single person in the group was taken care of. Being picked up on day one from the airport made me feel comfortable and safe going from each destination to the next. We were lucky that he was a local so he was full of knowledge and great recommendations on where to eat or even watch the sunset. This was one of the best trips I’ve ever taken by far. The sight seeing, visiting the day care, and the FOOD was amazing. So much appreciation towards the boat crew we had. I had booked this trip for my birthday not having any expectations as far as celebrating and Jet along with the boat crew we were with went above and beyond to make me feel special. My heart is filled with gratitude I’m so glad I booked this trip. It was definitely a once in a lifetime experience and opportunity and I’m so glad I had Jet as my tour guide!!! He kept everyone happy and most importantly safe.

- TKTetiana· May 17th, 2025This tour was amazing, everything planned for you and taken care of! I loved the authenticity brought by our tour guide Jet & unique experiences in the itinerary (school visit - wouldn’t be able to do this otherwise). I really felt like i was being immersed into the Filipino culture by having a local tour guide that knew everyone and everything in Palawan (esp knowing the nice bars, restaurants, community shops etc to go to in the evenings! While our guide did his best to keep up from getting sick by taking us to safe food & drink spots, its inevitable that majoring our 8 people group did get sick on the last day (beware of food/rice in the sun and heat). Although if you do get sick, you’re the safest with your tour guide to look after you/get you medical care if needed!Show moreOne Life Adventures commented on this reviewThank you for your review Tetiana!

Trip date: May 2025 - IMIda· May 5th, 2025My friend and I joined the One Life 10-day group tour around Palawan with Jet in the beginning of April 2025 and we were so pleased by the experience. My first time trying a group tour and I found the schedule very well-planned with several different activities. We had some beautiful days island-hopping with an overnight stay and amazing boat-crew, that made delicious meals for us. Our guide Jet was great and even after the trip he helped us with recommendations when we stayed in El Nido a couple more days. Overall I enjoyed how we were introduced to Filipino culture on our culture day, as well as having Jet as a guide with guidance on Filipino manners and nice food recommendations. My first impression of the Philippines was lovely and I would definitely want to come back and recommend One Life to friends and other travellers.Show moreOne Life Adventures commented on this reviewThank you so much for your review Ida!

Janine
Asked on May 6th, 2025How many beach days/interaction with water and water activities does the tour have?
One Life AdventuresOperator•Written May 2025This trip is packed with beach time and water-based activities. You'll get at least 5 full days where you're in and around the ocean, with plenty of chances to swim, snorkel, and soak up those tropical island vibes. Here's a quick breakdown: Day 3: We visit the famous Underground River and spend the afternoon chilling on the beach in Port Barton. Day 4-5: Two days of island hopping with snorkelling, beach bonfires, and even a night camping on your own private beach! Day 6: Free time once we arrive in El Nido, most guests head straight to the beach or join a beach clean up or massage session. Day 7: After a short jungle trek, you'll spend the rest of the day at Las Cabanas Beach, with optional ziplining between islands. Day 8: A full day of island hopping in El Nido's famous lagoon and island spots, this is a big highlight of the trip. Day 9: Chill beachside massage day with optional extra water activities like another island hopping trip, paddleboarding, scuba diving or surfing.

Asked on April 14th, 2025I am looking at joining either the 10 day Classic tour, or the 14 day tour in May. What is the difference between the two? I am looking to island hop, do some activities, see the islands, relax and have fun. I am not a person who looks to drink, but I love beaches, socialising, am am very active. I want to come away feeling relaxed but having dine some interesting and fun things. Which do you feel is better for what I am looking for? I am not super picky about accommodations, but I would like it to be clean, and well equipped. I am also a vegetarian. What do you suggest?

Traveler•Written April 2025What time is the airport transfers at the end of the tour? And At the beginning of the tour, can the pick up be anywhere in Manila?
- One Life AdventuresOperator•Written April 2025
Both our 10-day Classic and 14-day Philippines tours are amazing, but based on what you shared, I'd recommend the 14-day one, especially since you love beaches, relaxing, and fun activities. The main difference is that the 14-day tour includes a 4-day expansion to Coron Island (days 10–13), where you'll get to enjoy more snorkelling, island hopping, hot springs, and even a beach bonfire night! It's a great way to unwind while still exploring more stunning islands. We can absolutely accommodate your vegetarian diet, just let your guide know at the start and we'll take care of the rest. Accommodation is clean and comfy, and we focus on making sure you're well taken care of throughout. On Day 1, we offer pick-up from Manila airport only. On the last day, you'll be in El Nido or Coron (depending on your tour), and your guide can help arrange your airport transfer based on your outbound flight.

Asked on April 7th, 2025I am a wheelchair user who loves to travel. I am mobile, positive and love new challenges and experiences. I love to stay in Youth Hostels and Camping. I am an experienced solo traveller.
- One Life AdventuresOperator•Written April 2025
We do want to be transparent about the nature of the trip. Many of our itineraries involve island hopping, getting on and off boats, and navigating beaches and uneven terrain. Due to these elements, as well as the types of accommodation and transport used, we unfortunately aren't currently able to safely or comfortably accommodate travellers who require the use of a wheelchair.

Asked on April 6th, 2025Would it be possible to change the flight? From coron to manila on the 10th june? Or puerto princesa to manila on the 10th june? If not, what is the new price of the tromip as the flights isn't included?
- One Life AdventuresOperator•Written April 2025
We are unable to change the ticket due to these being booked in groups once our tour group numbers have been finalised. Our tours are priced based on the fixed itinerary so tickets will still be purchased in advance, meaning that we would be unable to discount this from the original tour price.

Asked on January 16th, 2025If after the tour, I wish to go to Cebu or Coron, is there any way to get there from Palawan? What the weather look like in April? What is the domestic airlines do you use?
- One Life AdventuresOperator•Written January 2025
You can always fly domestically from Palawan, however these flights will need to be organised yourself. Weather in Philippines tends to be glorious sunshine, however can also be unpredictable due to the tropical climate. If the rain comes, it usually only sticks around for a short period of time before returning back to glorious sunshine! We do use a range of different airlines, however if you feel more at ease not flying, then you could always meet up with us on Day 2 of the tour in Puerto Princesa.
