A 4-day private Balabac expedition from Puerto Princesa with tent camping, sandbars, reef time, and Molbog culture. Islands and value check.
“The islands are beautiful and the boat staff nice and helpful and some nice snorkelling, Onuk island was stunning with lots of turtles but on the whole the experience wasn’t great.”
4-day Sagada and Banaue rice terraces tour from Manila, with UNESCO views, caves, waterfalls, and local guides. $306.
“This was a fabulous trip. I was solo because no one else had booked the tour, but I was the winner. Zohan tailored everything to my interests, taking me to his village and sharing the indigenous practices of the Ifugao people with me. I was honoured to see the burial hut of his ancestors.

Brace yourself for the bus…”
