What people love about Philippines Tours in October
- West Philippines Classic 10 Day - One Life Adventures
Definitely do it, it is a tour where people want to experience something no one else would experience. Which is amazing people, food and experiencing everything about the Philippines. Kate the tour guide was amazing and was super easy and friendly to talk to if anyone had any concerns or just to talk to as a mate. Experiencing the culture of beautiful country and getting amongst it with the daily outings.
- Wanderlands Philippines - 12 Days
A good trip that took in the best philippine sights, good beaches, etc. Had a good group of people who made the trip fun.
- West Philippines Classic 14 Day - One Life Adventures
So happy we opted to do the extra few days! It added so much to an already amazing experience. The first 10 days was a beautiful combination of seeing the best of Palawan and having some really eye-opening, cultural interactions. We loved the fact that One Life work closely with local communities to give the groups a taste of the "real Philippines". Some stand out moments of the first half of the trip was the underground river, island camp and island hopping, and the cultural day where the guys were super friendly. About half our group stayed on for the extra days in Coron and I HIGHLY recommend doing it if you want a deeper dive into the Philippines. The camping in Coron is a totally different vibe and Kayangan lake is incredible! I would 100% do this again
