Philippines adventure holiday

Planet

We use public transport for majority of the trip – this way our travellers can keep their carbon footprint low while getting a taste of how the locals travel in the country. For some, it’s also an excellent way to get to know some locals. Our activities include hiking and walking tours which are an excellent way to see the places we visit, get some exercise in and also use less resources.

The hostels we choose are keen on doing the best they can to stay as eco-friendly as possible. On this tour you’ll stay in hotels, guesthouses & spend 1 night at a beach camp. The beach camp is particularly sustainable – as it uses up as little recourses as possible and discourages the need for more hotels. We always encourage our travels to use the local services on offer while at these lodgings, as this is a great way to give back to the local community and economy.

We introduce our travellers to the natural wildlife – as we believe this will teach them about the animals meanwhile also learning to respect them. On this trip the travellers will be seeing the Philippine Tarsier, at one of the island's protected wildlife sanctuaries. We always emphasise that there should be no flash photography, that they should follow the instructions from the sanctuaries and not disturb or scare the animals.

Travellers should not drink the tap water in the Philippines however we still suggest packing a reusable water bottle in case they come across refill stations, which can help minimize the trail of plastic left behind. We also recommend packing as light as possible, to help keep your carbon footprint low.
