Philippines

Comprising over 7,000 islands, the Philippine archipelago is home to a large number of endemic flora and fauna. Due to being part of the Coral Triangle in the tropical western Pacific, the waters around its many islands sustain highly diverse marine ecosystems. It comes as no surprise that the Philippines is a popular destination among beach lovers and scuba divers.

Philippine rainforests have an array of flora that provide habitat to over 20,000 animal species. Avid birders patiently trek in the forests and swamp areas just to get a glimpse of a rare endemic species. If you’re into heights, the mountain ranges scattered all over the country present a variety of options to the climbing enthusiast.

Most importantly, Filipinos are well-known for their warmth and hospitality. Being Filipina herself, Tanya is proud of this fact and strives to stay true to the nature of her people. To experience Filipino culture first-hand, why not spend time in a local village on your next visit to the Philippines?

We usually personally guide our own trips to the Philippines. However, if we’re not able to travel with you for some reason, we’ll make sure to connect you with our community for your Philippine local experiences.

Some unsolicited advice from us

Book well ahead of time. This gives you a headstart on planning your itinerary as some activities are quite popular and fill up 6 months to a year out. Longer expeditions also need to be organized in advance in order for all the moving parts to work together.

Purchase travel insurance. We may not want it, but we might need it sometime. Unforeseen events, while they make our experience more interesting, can cause financial strain when they affect our travel plans. Get your trip covered and get peace of mind.
