Description of Philippines small group tours

Combine twelve days exploring Luzon with three nights of relaxing on a beach in Bohol: the perfect introduction to the fascinating Philippines.

Your adventure on Luzon starts with Manila and its old town. Next you’ll fly to Laoag in the north and then head back south via Sagada, Banaue’s extraordinary rice terraces and then down to Mabalacat, where you’ll explore an active volcano. Returning to Manila, you’ll fly to Alona beach on Bohol for three nights of snorkel, scuba and sunbathing.

A highlight on this trip is spending time with local people. You’ll spend time meeting the Indigenous people who farm the 2,000 year old rice terraces of Banaue. Another highlight comes at Mabalacat, staying on a family-run farm, where you’ll find yourself surrounded by nature.

This small group trip moves you through Luzon at a moderate pace, and features a couple of easy walks. You’re led by local guides, travelling by minibus, and occasionally 4x4 jeepneys – iconic Filipino transport. All in all, it’s a great way to explore the northern Philippines.

In the Philippines we use skilled local leaders that are passionate about showcasing their country and its rich heritage. We provide extensive training opportunities for our Leaders, with many of our Filipino leaders travelling to the UK for an intensive training course, empowering them with the skills and knowledge they need to become industry-leading Tour Leaders.

The 2000 year-old rice terraces of Banaue are quite rightly a UNESCO World Heritage Site, where the local Ifugio people still live and harvest their rice using traditional methods passed down from generation to generation. We aim to visit this ancient marvel of engineering and the hardy people that work here in a responsible manner, employing the services of an expert local guide known and respected within the community. This brings an authentic experience ensuring local interaction is positive and genuine. We also have the opportunity to purchase locally made artwork and crafts, ensuring our money is put directly into the community, right at the source.

As a company we have valuable and longstanding partnerships with UK charities Toilet Twinning and Send a Cow, plus many smaller initiatives and projects around the world. We’re members of the UK travel industry body AITO because we believe it’s important to share our knowledge and experience, as well as learn from other operators.
