Having been a previous customer for INTRO, I was so excited to be part of their first trip to the Philippines and it definitely did not disappoint. As always from start to finish, the Group Leaders were there to help with anything and everything and the trip itself was just mind blowing. THE BEST way to travel a country and since doing my first group tour with INTRO over 3 years ago now I will never travel any other way.
My favourite activities were the 3 day boat expedition from Coron to El Nido which was just incredible, the waterfalls in Siquijor and all of the snorkelling!
The accommodation was comfortable and better than I expected as it was on all other INTRO tours. Already looking forward the next trip.

Yes, but first I forgot to mention about the first boat trip!! One of the guys suggested people could swim, and there were only two of us that really could swim, and there were people that had to be dragged back to the boat in their life, vest!!! Not really sure why someone didn’t stop them and give them a clear picture of what the swim would be like!!! So maybe next time on that first one it could be a kayak or a swim for strong swimmers!? Joseph was great, and the snorkeling and cave experiences are one of a kind!! Palawan is worth the adventure!!! Thank you for providing us the opportunity to explore new cultures & waters!!
