What people love about touring Philippines solo
- A Week In Palawan, Philippines
I really had a great week !!! There is one thing for my feedback: I thought, understood from the information, that I should join a group from max 10 persons and a guide for the whole; the same group and a guide where I was travelling with and together doing all the tours !!! I was really looking forward to that, especialy Because Iam living on my own… It didn’t work like that ? The first evening I was eating on my own ; not What I wanted ? I was really confused: how does this work ??? It took me a few days to find out …. My ‘ mistery guide’ on Whatsapp told me What to do and where to be picked up… That worked well ?? So behalfe of the wrong expectations or the wrong information ??? I met Some challengis which worked out well!!!

My tour to the Philippines was incredible!! Tourrader was excellent!! They were responsive and organized. We were met at the airport by one of their friendly drivers who gave us envelopes with our full itinerary and flight vouchers. We were promptly picked up for every tour, every flight, and every hotel. They communicated well with the hotels and tour guides so that our trip was smooth. They checked in with us during the trip and sent a message every night to remind us of our pick up times and planned activities. They were wonderful and I highly recommend booking a tour with this company!!! They were great!!

The tour was great, we really enjoyed it, and the tour guide Rupert was amazing
What our customers ask about Philippines Tours for Solo Travelers
How easy is it to meet other travelers as a solo traveler on Philippines group tours?
Meeting other travelers comes naturally on Philippines group tours. The shared experiences from island hopping in El Nido to snorkeling at Balicasag Island create easy connections between travelers. Most tours include group meals and activities where conversations flow freely. Places like Bohol Beach Club are set up with common spaces that make mixing with fellow travelers effortless. A TourRadar traveler noted: "The small group size made it easy to bond with others while exploring beautiful places like the Underground River in Puerto Princesa."
Which areas of Philippines are most solo traveler-friendly?
Boracay El Nido and Bohol stand out as the most welcoming spots for solo travelers. These destinations combine well-developed tourism facilities with plentiful group activities and safe environments. El Nido's daily island hopping tours bring together travelers naturally while Cebu City offers both heritage sites and modern comforts. Places like La Natura Resort serve as comfortable bases where solo travelers often cross paths. A TourRadar traveler shares: "El Nido was perfect as a solo traveler - the group tours to lagoons and beaches made it easy to meet people while feeling completely safe."
What type of accommodation can solo travelers expect on Philippines tours?
Accommodations range from upscale hotels to beachside cottages. You might stay at the Seda Bonifacio Global City in Manila one night and find yourself in a traditional Filipino beach hut the next. Popular choices include Hotel Covo in El Nido and District Boracay on Boracay Island. One TourRadar traveler mentioned "the accommodations were perfectly situated to experience both city life and island paradise." Solo rooms are available for an extra fee though shared rooms offer a budget-friendly option.
How much spending money should solo travelers budget for additional expenses?
Plan for 30-50 USD daily beyond tour inclusions during a 10-day Philippines trip. This covers extras like the 250 PHP boatman fee at Pagsanjan Falls additional meals and personal expenses. City meals in Manila cost 5-15 USD while beach activities in El Nido such as kayaking or extra island tours range from 20-40 USD.
What's the typical group size for solo traveler-friendly tours in Philippines?
Palawan and Boracay offer excellent infrastructure for solo travelers with regular group activities. El Nido's island hopping tours to Hidden Beach and Secret Lagoon bring travelers together while Coron's snorkeling at Kayangan Lake attracts groups. Manila's Intramuros district works well for solo exploration with guided walking tours available. A TourRadar traveler notes: "El Nido was perfect for meeting other travelers while still feeling safe to explore independently."
Is it safe to travel alone with a group through Philippines?
Group tours provide a secure way to explore the Philippines. Local guides handle logistics between islands like Palawan Boracay and Cebu while arranging stays in established hotels such as Seda Lio in El Nido. As one TourRadar traveler shared: "Having a knowledgeable guide made me feel completely secure even in more remote areas like the Underground River in Puerto Princesa."
