Solo-ish Philippines

The Philippines is a dream destination for a reason. Renowned for having some of the world’s best beaches, this stunning archipelago offers so much more than white sand and turquoise waters. Start your adventure with a foodie tour of vibrant Manila, then head into the jungle to connect with an Indigenous community dedicated to reforestation and sharing their culture with travelers. Venture off-road to the lush Avatar Gorge, a breathtaking canyon that lives up to its cinematic namesake. In Palawan, glide along the enchanting Puerto Princesa subterranean river, then unwind in El Nido with two days of snorkeling in crystal-clear waters. With a built-in crew of travel mates ready to join you, the Philippines is calling you to experience the adventure of a lifetime.
