Perfect for travelers looking to save and connect. Share a comfortable room with another traveler and enjoy all the same great experiences at a lower cost. If you’re traveling with a friend, let us know your roommate preference at checkout. Otherwise, we’ll thoughtfully pair you with someone of a similar age and teaching level.

Ideal for those who prefer extra privacy. Relax in your own room after each day’s adventure while still enjoying all group activities and inclusions. A great option for travelers who want a little more personal space.

Heads-Up, Snoozers!  If you snore like a bear, rock a CPAP machine, need white noise, or have any other quirky sleep habits, we totally understand — everyone has their bedtime vibe! But to keep things peaceful for your fellow travelers, please consider booking a private room.

Even better? Bring a friend you’ve already shared a room (and some laughs) with, and have them register too!

Let’s keep the Zzzs drama-free and the vibes just right. Thanks for being the considerate rockstar you are!

1. Pack light and casual clothes – It’s hot and humid most of the year. Lightweight, breathable clothing is your best friend.

2. Respect local customs – Filipinos are friendly and hospitable, but modesty and politeness go a long way, especially in rural areas.

3. Bring cash – Many places, especially on smaller islands, don’t accept cards. ATMs are available, but it’s smart to carry some cash.

4. Island hopping is a must – With over 7,000 islands, plan time to explore more than one! Each has its own charm and beauty.

5. Stay flexible with travel plans – Weather and transport delays are common. Build in buffer time and go with the flow.

6. Try the local food – Don’t miss out on adobo, sinigang, fresh seafood, and halo-halo! Be adventurous with street food, but choose busy stalls for freshness.

7. Use sun and bug protection – Sunscreen and mosquito repellent are essentials, especially when visiting beaches or rural areas.
