- AAisha· May 11th, 2025Our guide Dian made the trip absolutely amazing! Traveling with her wasn’t just about seeing new places, it was about truly connecting and sharing stories. She has the ability to bring people together, make everyone feel seen, and is a wonderful person. Her karaoke and photography skills are seriously good. She took great pictures for everyone. She offered good recommendations for places to eat, drink or dance. Overall it was so much fun to have her as our guide, easily one of the best I've ever had. The trip had a good number of included activities. I found conyoning, kayaking, cooking class and snorkeling really fun. Although I can't swim, I felt so comfortable doing most of water activities thanks to our awesome boat guides. I’ll cherish many moments from this trip for a long time. l highly recommend it!Show moreWanderlands Travel commented on this reviewHey Aisha, so pleased to hear you had an amazing time in the Philippines with Dian, she always goes the extra mile to make sure her guests have a truly unforgettable experience.

- FFranziska· May 10th, 2025Really packed days in the first half compared to relaxing days at the end. Too many long traveldays with nothing to see, maybe you can put some small hikes or stops for viewpoints inbetween but very well organised with by the best tourguide one could wish for and the highlights were definitely the Islandhoppings for me. Our tourguide also shared a lot of knowledge of the country and helped us, whenever we had problems or questionsShow moreWanderlands Travel commented on this reviewHey Franziska thanks for your feedback!Trip date: May 2025

- Liam· May 8th, 2025The tour was a perfect balance between activities and relaxation. It would have not been the same without our tour guide, Dian. Dian’s bubbly and fun personality really brought the group together and made me feel extremely comfortable . Some highlights included the island hopping, swimming with whale sharks and of course, Dian’s awesome karaoke skills. The trip is ideal for those who are looking for fun activities during the day, sunset chasers, and food lovers.

- AArne· April 27th, 2025I would recommend the trip to the Philippines to experienced backpackers. Whether it was the diving with whale sharks, the sardines, the trips to the waterfalls or the canyoning alternative, as the main tour was being cleaned at the time we traveled, I thought it was great. I thought it was even better than the main tour, which you can see on YouTube etc. I would have liked there to have been more activities as I personally got bored in between, but there are enough alternatives here that you can do at your own expense. As a constructive point, I would have liked Jastwan to have been more responsive to the group and explained more so that the participants knew what was needed where and how. After talking to him, this improved considerably, so in my opinion there is nothing to criticize here. Nevertheless, I got to know Jastwan as a very likeable Filipino. I found him very funny and got on very well with him. If you want, he can also show you one or two good spots in the city or on the tour. He also made a lot of effort when it came to vegetarian alternatives, especially on the last evening when he changed the restaurant so that there was something for everyone. I found this very positive, as it meant we had a nice end to the trip together. All in all, I can recommend this trip with a clear conscience and felt that I was in good hands. There were many wonderful and unforgettable moments. Thanks you!Show moreWanderlands Travel commented on this reviewHey Arne! Thank you for your feedback.

Traveler•Written November 2024What is the nearest airport when we are in El Nido and when do we finish in the last day? It seems there is an airport in El Nido but it looks very limited compared to another airport in Porta Princesa.
- Wanderlands TravelOperator•Written November 2024
Yes there is only one airline operate from El Nido and that will be Air Swift. You only have two option whether to fly to Manila from Puerto Princessa or El Nido. If you're flying from Puerto Princessa, you will have to take a 6 hour bus ride first so make sure to book flight that departs in the evening after 7 PM. El Nido airport is only around 15 minutes from our hotel but only 1 airline operates.

Traveler•Written November 2024Is this going to impact the safety and Itenirary of the trip?
- Wanderlands TravelOperator•Written November 2024
Typhoon season in the Philippines typically runs from May to September, which is why we don't operate tours during that period. December, however, supposedly brings good weather and is outside of the typhoon season. That said, nature can be unpredictable, but worry not, of course we will find alternatives if it becomes unviable to operate the tour as per our itinerary in December.

Asked on October 4th, 2024Me, 24, and my partner,30, we are from Romania and visiting South East Asia in December and we would love to travel to Philippines and take this incredible tour, but we do not afford the full price of the january 20th tour that is 1,552 E, i love the 20% discount on the november's tours. 1,242 E is an incredible price and Wonderlands tours are the best. Are there any chances for a possible discount for the January tours, please?
