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

Just wrapped up the most incredible 17-day tour through the Philippines, and it exceeded every expectation!
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:
Massive shout-out to Jay, our tour guide! 🙌
Jay was absolutely legendary — super friendly, organized, and always full of energy. He brought the whole group together like a family from day one, and his love for the Philippines was contagious. 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!

With so many islands to choose from, how does one even begin to decide on the ideal cycling route in the Philippines? This 13-day adventure set in the central island group of Visayas is our answer. We traverse four islands, riding on paved roads through countryside, jungles, and highlands, as well as skirting picturesque coastlines overlooking the Pacific. The cycling experience is enriched by plenty of stops at cultural sites, natural wonders, palm-fringed beaches and nights spent at lovely accommodations.
We meet in bustling Cebu City and take a boat to the neighboring island of Bohol. Here we spend the first three days heading into a forest for a chance to encounter the world’s smallest primates (tarsiers), marveling at the iconic Chocolate Hills and climbing into the highlands of Sierra Bullones where rice-terraces are draped over the mountainsides. After a rest day near the beaches of Anda, we discover a hidden waterfall, ride along the coast with sweeping ocean views, and visit a beautifully-preserved Spanish coral stone church. On Day 8 we ferry from Bohol over to Siquijor, a small yet beautiful island renowned for its natural charm and mysticism. Here we treat ourselves to a three-night stay at a fantastic beach resort while we explore the island’s coasts, jungles, and villages. From Siquijor, we leapfrog by boat across one island, Negros, to then get to another, Cebu! Here we saddle up and ride along the stunning coast to Moalboal, where you have the opportunity to swim with schools of millions of Sardines. A final ride takes us up and down farm-studded mountains before concluding the tour back in Cebu City.
They say “it’s more fun in the Philippines” - we say it’s even more fun on a bike! Join us on our island hopping adventure and we’re sure you’ll agree. We even wrote a blog about it; check it out here.

Tour in traffic congested Manila was a nightmare, best part of the tour was the lunch and shopping. A Venue hotel was very dirty and air conditioner spits out dust and more Dust. Costabello in Cebu resort was very clean and food great. The tour in Bohol was outstanding, loved the Chocolate Hills.

There was a lot of activities and a balance of time to rest and meet people. The hotels were nice and the transport was always ready and arranged well. I like the visit to the dog sanctuary and the beautiful beaches although the weather did not always hold up.
