Important Travel Note: Flexibility & Force Majeure Policy
Due to the Philippines' geographical and climatic conditions, events like typhoons, severe weather, sea
conditions, or airline issues may occasionally affect transportation, including flights and ferries.
These situations are considered force majeure, and any resulting costs are not included in the tour
price.
In such cases, we will assist by adjusting the itinerary, arranging alternative transport where possible, and
minimizing the impact on the travel experience.
Any additional costs will be handled transparently, and our team will help coordinate the best possible solutions.
Strongly recommended to purchase travel insurance in your home country in advance, and ensure it covers claims for
flight and ferry delays and cancellations.

embracing the journey with an open mind and a spirit of discovery.

advance—for instance, dietary restrictions or any mobility considerations. We are happy to assist with arrangements.

When is the best time to visit the Philippines?
The best time to visit the Philippines is during the dry season (November to April). During this period, the
weather is generally sunny, with minimal rainfall, making it ideal for island-hopping, diving, and other outdoor
activities. The peak tourist season is from December to February, so it’s advisable to
book accommodations and activities in advance. If you prefer fewer crowds, consider visiting in November or
April.
What to pack when in the Philippines?
- Clothing: Light, breathable clothes, swimwear, and a hat.
