About this trip
This ten-day trip moves across four islands in the eastern Philippines, mixing early starts on mountain trails with slower stretches on the water. It's a small-group trip built around a string of varied sights rather than one big draw, from waterfalls to reefs to sandbars.
You travel with local suppliers along the way, so some of what you spend goes back into the communities you pass through. The pace shifts between adrenaline and downtime — a sunrise trek one day, paddleboarding down the Loboc River the next, then sailing into a sunset over Boracay's White Beach.
What you'll do
- Trek to a mountaintop for sunrise
- Swim beneath waterfalls
- Paddleboard down the Loboc River
- Snorkel reef areas around the islands
- Spend an afternoon on a private sandbar with a meal cooked in front of you
- Sail into sunset over Boracay's White Beach
- Covers four islands in ten days, so travel between them is part of the rhythm
- Works with local suppliers, so part of your spend supports the communities you visit
Worth it if you want a relaxed yet varied Philippines experience with strong local insights. Think twice if you need a large group dynamic.
- Guide quality makes or breaks this tour; Bono and Sheena consistently went above and beyond with local knowledge and personal care.
- Water activities and island hopping genuinely excellent with varied itinerary hitting all the main highlights without feeling rushed.
- Small group sizes (4 people mentioned) mean intimate experience and local access, but you won't get the larger group social dynamic.
- Trip balances recovery time with packed activities, showing both tourist highlights and how locals actually live daily.
