What people love about Luzon Island Tours
- Philippines Classic 14 Day - One Life Adventures
This trip is life CHANGING. We saw all the best that Palawan has to offer. Everything was perfectly planned from start to finish. I have been on tours before but never have I been on a tour where it was so clear that the company really cares about the communities and the people they have contact with. I thought Palawan was beautiful but Coron was mind blowing! I can't wait to book my next trip with One Life. Coron was incredible!
- Sagada & Banaue Rice Terraces 4-Day Tour
Amazing, rich tour with a lot packed in- serious value for money! Rohan was one of the best guides I have ever had, and he clearly loves this part of the Philippines!
- A Week In Palawan, Philippines
Hello, It was organized well but still I want to underline some facts. The hotels and the hotel personel were fine, nice and always trying to help. The van was very crowded and we had an unconfortable transfer from Puerta Princesa to El Nido. And half of the passangers were not wearing face maskes. We had some little problems in El Nido part. The islands tour was cancelled because of bad weather but there should be a plan B for our only full day there, in El Nido. So with the help of hotel stuff we aranged an inland tour to visit different beaches there. The day we have left the Hotel in El Nido, we were told that a van would be waiting for us. Some time later we had learned that actually it is a treike that was waiting to pick us for the airport. On the wat to airport it just fell down a lagguage of us. It was broken. Anyway we have good memories and nothing very very important has occured. Thanks
Travel Luzon Island your way
Our Luzon adventures are really hitting the mark with travelers who want to dig deeper into the Philippines. The 4-day mountain expedition is particularly popular - you'll head into the Cordillera range where the UNESCO rice terraces spread across the slopes, and then venture underground in Sumaguing Cave. It's properly active stuff; you need decent fitness for the cave exploration and mountain trails. For a longer journey, there's our 10-day Northern Philippines route that includes a trek to Mt Pinatubo's crater lake, where you'll get your hands dirty learning from local communities. If you're after something more off-grid, we run tours to traditional Ifugao villages like Cambulo and Batad. You'll sleep in basic guesthouses right in the mountains - it's simple accommodation but you're living right in the heart of authentic mountain culture.

Best places to start your Luzon Island tour
Manila is where most Luzon tours kick off - we've got 33 different trips starting there. You can also begin from Puerto Princesa with 7 options, El Nido with 3 tours and also Coron with 2 choices. Looking at how our customers book, we suggest getting your spot about 39 days before you want to travel, particularly for those popular rice terrace tours in peak season. The accommodations can be simple in some spots along these routes, so it's good to know what to expect when picking your tour. Our past travelers really value having English-speaking guides; they often tell us how these local experts made such a difference in understanding the indigenous customs and historical places. Most tours let you cancel with a full refund up to 7 days before you leave, which takes the pressure off your planning.
Discover Luzon Island tours for every budget
Looking to explore Luzon without overspending? Our 4-day mountain trip through Sagada and Banaue fits the bill perfectly. Our travelers tell us they love how it mixes hands-on culture with active outdoor time - you'll join local women's craft workshops, venture deep into Sumaguing Cave and walk the beautiful Batad rice terraces. There's also a solid 3-day Manila option that includes Pagsanjan Falls; it's a nice blend of city life and nature. Most guests really enjoy riding traditional jeepneys through old Intramuros before hiking up to Pinatubo's crater lake. Both tours include local lunches and cultural demos, which our customers say adds great value to the experience.

Small Group
13 tours in Luzon IslandSmall-group tours through Luzon deliver impressive cultural immersion while keeping things flexible and personal. The 14-day routes blend overnight beach bungalow stays with authentic local experiences, where you'll practice stick fighting with village experts, join El Nido families for cooking sessions, and set up camp under starlit skies on private Port Barton beaches. Our 4-day mountain expeditions have earned high marks from TourRadar guests, especially for weaving together Sagada's hanging coffins with traditional weaving sessions and also Sumaguing cave discoveries. Guides like Zohan share deep cultural knowledge, keeping groups small enough to visit remote village schools and pitch in on community projects. The 10-day northern circuits combine volcano treks with village homestays, where travelers learn traditional crafts alongside local families. What makes these tours special is the personal touch - you'll share meals with Aetas tribes near Mt Pinatubo, learn ancient burial traditions from Ifugao elders and build lasting connections with both locals and also fellow travelers.
Private / Personalized
14 tours in Luzon IslandWant your own private Philippine experience? Our 5-day Palawan trip lets you control the timing. Guests tell us they love how it combines guided activities like the Underground River tour with plenty of free time to discover El Nido's lagoons, beaches and hidden spots. The 8-day Manila & Palawan Explorer is another top pick - you'll pedal bamboo bikes in Intramuros, swim with dugongs in their natural habitat and paddle through Coron's caves by kayak. Having a dedicated guide makes all the difference; they'll share local knowledge and adjust the schedule to match what interests you most. You can linger at places you love and move along when you're ready.
Top Luzon Island travel itineraries to fit your plans
Spend a week in Palawan and you'll see why it's so special - starting at the Underground River (it's UNESCO listed) before heading up to El Nido's dramatic cliffs and crystal waters. Our TourRadar customers really like how these trips mix guided activities with free time to explore. You'll hop between lagoons on traditional banca boats and catch sunset from Mount Tapyas. Hotels get nicer as you head north, though El Nido's places are pretty basic. It works really well if you like meeting new people but also want some time to yourself.
TourRadar recommends visiting:
Manila, Banaue, Bontoc, Sagada, Baguio
Ten days up north lets you really get to know the Philippines and its people. You'll walk through centuries-old rice terraces, learn weaving from mountain communities and cook with families in their homes. Most of our travelers say nothing beats camping under the stars on Port Barton's private beaches, followed by swimming with turtles and rays. The cultural side is rich - you'll visit small fishing villages, learn local spearfishing and share meals in indigenous communities. These tours hit a sweet spot between active exploration and genuine cultural exchange.
TourRadar recommends visiting:
Manila, Puerto Princesa, Palawan, Port Barton, El Nido
Two weeks on our Philippines Classic tour combines all the best bits of Palawan with deeper local connections. Our travelers love visiting schools in Port Barton, joining cooking classes and staying in beachside bungalows. The journey continues to Coron for snorkeling above WWII wrecks and includes nights camping on Pass Island. What makes it special is the time spent with local people - you'll try stick fighting, climb coconut trees and learn traditional dances while staying in villages. Having two weeks means you can really settle into each place and build real friendships with both your group and local communities.

Manila, Port Barton, Puerto Princesa, El Nido
Demographics
Our 14-day Philippines Classic tour through Palawan gets great feedback from solo travelers who like having both guided activities and free time to themselves. The guides take care of all the practical details while creating a friendly group atmosphere where you can connect with others. You'll stay in beach bungalows, get hands-on with Filipino cooking and visit local schools in Port Barton. The cultural side includes learning to climb coconut trees, practicing traditional stick fighting and joining native dance sessions. If you prefer a shorter trip, the 10-day option features snorkeling with turtles, exploring the Underground River and also relaxing with beachside massages. Solo guests tell us they really value having most meals included and enjoy meeting people at our carefully picked hostels.
Our northern Philippines tours are popular with couples looking for both romance and culture. The 4-day Sagada and Banaue trip takes you through ancient rice terraces, into mysterious burial caves and up to mountain viewpoints for sunset watching. Couples often pick our 7-day Palawan journey where you'll paddle crystal lagoons, find hidden beaches and also enjoy private island-hopping trips. Our travelers like how we mix active exploring with quiet moments - there's time for hot springs, cooking classes together and also sharing drinks while watching the sun set over pristine beaches.
The 17-day island explorer really appeals to younger travelers with its mix of canyoneering at Kawasan Falls, swimming in massive sardine schools at Moalboal and camping on remote beaches under starlit skies. You get three full days sailing between uninhabited islands, meeting local tribes and exploring untouched reefs. Many guests in their 20s and 30s go for our 14-day classic route which includes cultural workshops, beach camping, traditional massages and also nights out in lively beach towns. Our younger travelers often tell us they make lasting friendships while learning stick fighting, trying local foods and also diving shipwrecks together.
Our North Philippines Explorer works really well for senior travelers who appreciate its comfortable pace and cultural focus. You'll see Spanish colonial buildings in Vigan by traditional horse-drawn carriage, visit historic churches and learn from local potters. We provide walking sticks for the gentle trails and always have transport ready when needed. The 4-day mountain trip is another senior favorite with its quality lodging, amazing rice terrace views and also visits to indigenous craft makers. Travelers often mention how our guides pay attention to mobility needs while making sure everyone can fully experience the local markets, customs and also scenic spots.

Best time to visit Luzon Island
- Spring 2025
Spring weather creates ideal conditions for exploring Luzon's natural sites. Our 10-day northern circuit consistently gets great feedback, mixing volcano hikes with authentic village stays where you'll learn stick fighting, cook with locals and sleep in family homes. Up in the Cordillera mountains, travelers join community projects, trek to hidden waterfalls and experience genuine highland culture. The 4-day Sagada trip fits in cave exploration, weaving demonstrations and mountain trails - it's quick but covers all the essentials. Photographers particularly love spring visits to the rice terraces, when newly planted paddies create patterns of bright green against the misty peaks.

Summer in Luzon's highlands offers rich cultural experiences.

- Fall / Autumn 2025
Fall brings clear skies and comfortable temperatures to northern Luzon. Travelers often choose heritage journeys through colonial towns combined with treks to Sagada's hanging coffins and burial caves. Our mountain adventures are particularly popular, mixing hikes through terraced landscapes with village life - you'll craft traditional items, share community meals and stay in local guesthouses. Some trips line up with local festivals and harvest celebrations, while others focus on capturing the rice terraces when they turn golden just before harvest. Looking at the tour options in Luzon, Abraham Tours offers good value with their 4-day Sagada and Banaue Rice Terraces package - it's popular with our budget-conscious travelers who want to really understand local culture. Just keep in mind some people mentioned basic accommodations and hygiene standards that weren't quite what they expected. If you've got more time and budget, TourRadar customers who've taken One Life Adventures' 14-day Philippines Classic tour say it changed how they see the world. The company puts real effort into working with local communities and plans everything down to the smallest detail. TruTravels has also built up quite a following for their Philippines West tour. Their guides bring tons of energy and enthusiasm, and travelers particularly love spending time at Camp Carabao for what they call the "Castaway" experience - it's a chance to disconnect and live simply on a remote beach for a while. Each option lets you experience Luzon differently - from quick cultural immersions to longer journeys that really let you settle into local life. The key is picking the length and style that matches what you're after.

- Winter 2025 / 2026
Our winter tours in Luzon really shine during the dry season, offering a perfect mix of culture and outdoor exploration. The trip everyone keeps booking combines a trek through the UNESCO rice terraces of Banaue with genuine encounters in Ifugao villages - you'll learn directly from locals about their ancient burial customs and meet skilled weavers at work. Another solid choice takes you from historical Manila up to Mt Pinatubo's crater lake, where you'll share a traditional lunch with the Aetas tribe, served on banana leaves just as they do it. The heritage route through Vigan lets you travel by horse-drawn kalesa past Spanish colonial buildings and also explore churches built from coral stones centuries ago. In Sagada, you can trek to see the mysterious hanging coffins and venture into limestone caves, while over in Manila, cycling through Intramuros reveals layers of colonial history.
