Location: El Nido

Meals Included: Lunch, Dinner

Welcome to the Philippines! Start today by bidding farewel to El Nido and climbing aboard for an epic adventure! Over the next two nights, you'll explore the islands of the Philippines onboard a two-story motorized bangka boat, cruising past huge karst formations, white sand coves and through the Sulu Sea. After a day of cruising, we'll camp on a secluded beach in traditional Filipino huts.

TRANSPORT: Hop on a bangka boat and cruise from El Nido through the Sulu Sea.

ACTIVITY: Your opportunity to meet your CEO and fellow travellers, and learn more about your tour. Opt to join the group for a local meal afterwards. Don't forget to see the notice in the lobby (or ask reception) for the official time and place to meet up with the group.

Day 2: Sulu Sea

Location: Sulu Sea

Meals Included: Breakfast, Lunch, Dinner

Wake to the sound of the sea reaching the sand. Climb back onto the boat and continue exploring the beautiful turquoise water. We'll make stops along the way to swim and snorkel. Keep an eye out for dolphins, sea turtles, whale sharks and breaching rays before you reach your next secluded beach camping experience.

TRANSPORT: Enjoy a day out on the open sea! Island hop from one gorgeous, secluded beach to another.

Day 3: Sulu Sea/Coron

Location: Sulu Sea

Meals Included: Breakfast, Lunch

Awaken next to the beach after another night on a beautiful, secluded Filipino island. We'll board our trusty vessel for one final expedition.

FREE TIME: FULL DAY Explore this incredible island paradise however you'd like!

Rio de Janeiro to Buenos Aires: Waterfalls & White Sands

This tour was very good. I would reccomend it. It is great to see the difference in the three countries, Iguassu Falls definitely a highlight on my whole South America trip.

Galapagos

10-Jan-2023

This was our first trip with G Adventures. We took the 8 day trip around Galapagos on their ship Yolita II. The guide, Adrienne, was knowledgeable and very pleasant. Each day had a variety of activities to choose from so you could fill your day or pick and choose what you wanted to do. The guide knew where to look for various animals so we saw an abundance of wildlife - lots of different sea birds, sea lions, a few kinds of iguanas, and many kinds of fishes. The only negative, and it's not G Adventures fault, is that the little ship rocks and rolls and night which can make sleeping challenging.

The tour was great! Our guide Peter was very knowledgeable and gave us just the right amount of information about the sights and animals we were seeing. He was also very personable and had a great sense of humour. Our cook was great as well! They were both flexible and accomodated our requests to spend longer looking at some animals, to visit craft markets, etc. The lodge accommodations both inside and outside Kruger National Park were fantastic.

The tour was excellent! I think there was something for everyone on this tour... lots of hiking and nature walks for nature lovers, a plethora of optional activities for the adventurous and lots of downtime for the ones who just want to relax. I loved it!

Fantastic trip overall with very efficient staff on board. Fantastic food throughout. Deluxe cabin was disappointing and not as advertised and many problems with the air conditioning in our cabin meant we had 2 sleepless nights.
