  The Tour was just amazing, everything was well organized and prepared for us. I enjoyed every day of it. Our Tourguide Jovain was excellent, he explained everything well and had always an answer to our questions. Over and all i can absolutely recommend this trip.

  This trip has been on of a lifetime! Where to begin... everywhere we visited was just pure paradise and the activities were all perfect for each place- it was the perfect balance of relaxation and adventure! Soo many amazing beaches we saw and the expedition took us to some remote islands which were so quiet it felt like a private island tour! Jovain our guide could not do enough for us all, answering any questions and always keeping us up to date on each days itinerary. There was a situation which arose with a fellow traveller where Jovain was getting spoke to very aggressively and he handled the difficult situation very professionally. Alongside this there was an elderly member of the group and he was by her side wherever she needed help being there to assist her and so kind. The accommodation was all clean and the camping was so cool! The food was brilliant along the way with so many options. Really enjoyed this tour and would do it allll over again if I could! Thank you Jovain and do you travel!!!

  The tour could be classified generally as below average. Bad things: The tour guide (Jovain) - this guy is not a real tour guide, but rather a man who likes to travel. He did not provide almost any interesting information about the destinations, instead of this he was talking about his travel to Vietnam, his plans for building his own house and some other random staff. He was always late for the day trips, but all the three times, when we had to catch a plane, we were at least 3.5 hours earlier at the airport with nothing to do there. He have bought a new drone and he took more attention to him than to the group. Accommodation in El Nido was not in El Nido - it was 20 minutes by tricycle from the centre, and despite having a great view to the shore, the place was very dirty and there was no running water. Do not be fooled by the nice pic of the pool in the itinerary. Accommodation in Moalboal - the room smelled like toilet. Generally they choose from the cheapest options for accommodation Expedition - the chosen company was doing the expedition for the first time and it was not very well organised; the boat was very very small and basic, comparing ti the other boats that were doing the expedition for the same time - I guess the simple have chosen the cheapest agency for that. Again don't be fooled by the picture in the itinerary. Good things: Not so much, at least we covered most of the places described in itinerary. Canyoneering was nice and also I liked the 3 ziplines. Things to improve - instead of doing the expedition you must make an island hopping in El Nido and in Coron - otherwise you miss the beautiful lagoons you can see, when writing "Philippines" in google. In Siargao definitely do the land tour instead of the island hopping - it is much better. Also 3 days are well enough for this island. As a conclusion - very beautiful country, but if you decide to visit it please choose another agency.

  Lexias Hostel and Workspace El Nido: The water at the sink did not work. The shower was turned off from 7pm to 7am. And there were rats and rat droppings in some of the rooms. The tour guide (Jovain) was late every day and subliminally tried to push through his own interests, which was very exhausting in the long run. His information about the length of the trip to the next attraction was always wrong. In contrast to other places, the stay in Siargao was relatively long, perhaps 1 - 2 days should be deducted there and distributed to other places. Nature: ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ General organization: ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Expedition: ⭐⭐⭐⭐ Gilligan's Barton Harbor: ⭐⭐⭐⭐ Restaurant selected by the guide: ⭐⭐

  This was a fantastic tour and I would recommend it to anyone who is looking to travel in the Philippines with a group tour! The itinerary was extremely well planned out and the activities planned exceeded all of my expectations, we got to see all of the biggest attractions that the Philippines has to offer along with many more that would not have been possible without going with a tour group. For anyone wanting to do as much as possible in a short space of time, this is the tour for you. The fun, excitement and friendly dynamics of the group would not have been the same without the hard work of our tour guide Jovain who made sure that everything ran seamlessly. I cannot thank him enough for sharing his beautiful part of the world with us and making sure that all of us always had a smile on our faces. I picked this tour because it was one of the longest trips to the Philippines available for the best price, my only complaint is that it should have been longer! There was a great mix of organised activities and free days to relax, and I made some friends that I will stay in contact for many years to come. The accommodation as a whole was well located, clean and safe, with some nights spent beachside camping and in huts on the expedition from El Nido to Coron (bring a battery operated fan, no aircon!!!) which made the experience truly feel like an adventure. I cannot recommend it more and would do it all again in a heartbeat. Thank you DYTravel and Jovain ??

Your review Nic 17 reviews · 10 photos a week ago One of the best experiences of my life! Do you Travels' 16 day Adventure Tour was most definitely one huge adventure! The itenary is well thought out and covers alot of the Phillipines most beautiful attractions and coolest activities, though I'm sure the Sardine run could be added in ;) Jovain is the best tour guide I've ever had the pleasure of travelling with. Him and our entire group will now be life long friends, despite the age gaps! I'm so thankful for Jovains help beyond the tour too 🙏🏽 For those who aren't cut out for down and dirty travel, I suggest you read the itenary closely. As we had 1 guest who almost ruined it for everyone with her negative outlook and 5 star living/ 1st world expectations, thankfully she ended up leaving. The Port Barton camping and Palawan Island Hopping Expedition were a huge highlight for me, along with the 3 optional ziplines and canyoneering but honestly it's so hard to put a favourite on so many amazing memories! I'm definitely one very satisfied traveller that's for sure 😊

  Alyssa is the best - she made this trip ome of my best life experiences she is dedicated, has alot of humour, is flexible and cool, also really did well particularly with the cotonavirus issues we had, making me feel safe and secure that we would not get stuck, and she ensured we were able to fly home with no issues. Highlights for me were partying in El Nido, the El Nido to Coron expedition which was just full of the most beautiful sunsets, beaches and cocktails! We had great company, bonfires and the whole vibe was just superb, this is exactly what you want when visting the Philippines. It was sad that because of the coronavirus we were not able to stay in siargao but now I have a reason to come back :) Alyssa did amazing it is not easy with a small group but i wouldn't change a thing regarding this tour and i would recommend it to anyone!

  Simply amazing, Sarah made my whole itinerary for me to cover the entire time i was here. Sadly we couldn't finish the whole tour because of the travel restrictions and domestic flights being cancelled. I have so my favourite places that i visited on this tour: Bohol the dolphin watching was amazing, Port Barton i just loved the island hopping and beach camping at Giligans. In Cebu the whale sharks and canyoneering was just so amazing!! These three things were my absolute top! All the hostels and hotels were good aswel, Alyssa helped with every part of the trip if we had any questions or troubles! I really appreciated everything Alyssa and Sarah did for me absolute dream team! I will definitely come back to the Philippines the locals are so nice and helpful, this whole experience has been fantastic, thank you DYT ❤️

  Overall this tour was fantastic and the icluded activities were unreal! I thoroughly enjoyed each one, particularly the whale sharks and canyoneering adventure. I felt it was very well orgnaised and ran smoothly throughout, only downside being it would have been better with a bigger group.
