I have now completed 4 intro tours, and each trip just gets better! We have just finished the Philippines tour, and the expeditions are out of this world, but what made this trip stand out most was our tour guide Zoe! she always went above and beyond, to make sure everyone was catered for and having the best time. Zoe was full of knowledge and ideas, and had more patience than I thought was possible. I would redo this trip all over again if possible with Zoe! I highly highly recommend this trip if you;re an adrenaline seeker, and looking to have a once in a life time trip

The itinerary was packed with unforgettable experiences — island hopping, snorkeling with turtles, cliff jumping, kayaking, and so much more. But what truly made the trip unforgettable was the people… and one person in particular:

Whether it was teaching us local phrases, finding the best street food, or making sure every detail of the trip ran smoothly, Jay went above and beyond in every way.
Can’t wait for my next adventure with this team!
