The Philippines enjoys a tropical climate year-round, with two main seasons: dry (December to May) and wet (June to November). Expect warm temperatures ranging from 25°C to 32°C, with coastal areas like Boracay and Palawan offering plenty of sunshine, especially between January and April—our peak travel months.Luggage
Guests are responsible for their own belongings throughout the tour. This includes carrying and transporting luggage to and from vehicles and accommodation. We recommend packing light and bringing luggage that’s easy to move around.Tipping
Tipping in the Philippines is not expected, but it is always appreciated. Many locals are modestly paid, so even small gestures go a long way.

Our Tour Leaders will never expect a tip, but it’s entirely up to you if you wish to show your appreciation.Passport Validity
