Best of the Philippines Adventure Tour

The Philippines offers a bit of everything, from jungles to seaside villages and pristine beaches. This 10-day adventure takes you from cascading waterfalls and lush jungles to idyllic islands. Spend a day with a local Indigenous community, exploring their land and sharing a meal. Sample bold flavors in Manila's Chinatown, then let Palawan dazzle you with the Underground River and El Nido's turquoise waters. This is the Philippines trip you've been dreaming of.

International Flights  

Check-in times and baggage allowances/restrictions vary by airline and can change at any time. For the most up-to-date information for your flight, please contact your airline. We recommend checking in online in advance to avoid potential delays at the airport.

Group Leader Description  

All G Adventures group trips are accompanied by one of our Chief Experience Officers (CEO). The aim of the CEO is to take the hassle out of your travels and to help you have the best trip possible. They will provide information on the places you are travelling through, offer suggestions for things to do and see, recommend great local eating venues and introduce you to our local friends. While not being guides in the traditional sense you can expect them to have a broad general knowledge of the countries visited on the trip, including historical, cultural, religious and social aspects. We also use local guides where we think more specific knowledge will add to the enjoyment of the places we are visiting- we think it's the best of both worlds.
