Great experience, made some friends for life. Booked last minute with my best friend and it was the best decision ever. Would recommend our guides Ruby and Yaz!
Gregg (June 2024)
I have had a fantastic time, it was very well organised and can’t speak highly enough for the work they do. Just lovely people! The tour itself allowed for plenty of free time along with pre-planned activities which meant we were kept busy but not too worn out! 5*
Jay (June 2024)
Meeting my group was an amazing day, we all got on straight away. We have done amazing activities and had some amazing nights out. Our guides were great and I love them both.
Rebecca (June 2024)
From start to finish, my experience was amazing and we were all welcomed and supported by our guides. They really made the trip and it would definitely have not been the same without them. Always on hand for anything you needed and were there to have a laugh and make the whole trip enjoyable.

Starts
Puerto Princesa (PPS)
We recommend arriving between 9am – 5pm on day 1 so you can meet your local guide in the arrivals hall. They will be wearing Camp t-shirts and will be holding a sign (You can’t miss them!). If you can, we think arriving earlier rather than later on the start day is better to allow for some down time at the hotel before the orientation and evening activities.
If you do not arrive in the selected window, you will be responsible for making your own way to the accommodation. Your local guide will be able to advise on this in the group chat. If you are planning to arrive a day earlier and want to stay near the airport in a hotel at your own cost just let us know and you can come back to the airport for the pickup window.
Ends
Francisco B. Reyes (USU)
Your trip will finish in Coron and we recommend departing from USU Airport.
You will see the airport listed as Francisco B. Reyes Airport! On the last day of Camp we recommend a flight after midday, to give yourself time to recover and make sure you have time for any onward travel arrangements. Remember you’ll need to check-in at the airport 2-3 hours prior.
When confirming one of our tours, you will be responsible for booking your own flights. We do this to provide you with the most flexibility on where you fly from, and also so you can find the best price for your journey.

Yes, Wi-Fi is available, whether it be in a communal area or in your room. However, we try our best to ensure that Wi-Fi is available in most areas of your accommodation. You can also buy a local SIM card or e-sim so you have data on the go.
This varies depending on the programme. Check the schedule section above on this trip page to see which meals are included.
There is an abundance of inexpensive, fresh and delicious food from the many food stands and small family restaurants. On the days where a meal isn’t included, we recommend trying the local street food!

The choice is yours, but a backpack is definitely more suitable for travelling around Philippines. Plus, you don’t want to look like a starry-eyed first time traveller dragging around a heavy suitcase, looking like you just landed at a 5* resort in Europe!
