Arrive at any time on day 1 and your guide will be there to meet you at the airport. Weave through the streets of one of Asia’s most frenetic cities straight to your accommodation. Time to settle in and meet the group! If you arrive earlier in the day, you can use your time to explore the city and do some last-minute shopping. In the evening we’ll get to know your new One Life family over dinner and a few drinks.

Palawan here we come! Today we take a short flight to the southern end of the Palawan Islands. We check in to our guest house and then head to the Iwahig Prison. This is a strange ’prison without walls’, where inmates control how the prison functions. They even have a mayor! Meet and interact with some inmates and hear their stories. We then have the opportunity to kickback by the pool whilst making the most of 2 for 1 cocktails before enjoying a traditional Filipino meal together.

After a quick breakfast, we head to the famous Underground River. We go by boat through the incredible subterranean river system. In the afternoon we make our way from Puerto Princesa to the stunning fishing village of Port Barton. This is when you will truly feel like you’ve arrived in paradise but trust us, it gets better! Spend your evening sipping fresh coconuts on white sand while listening to some island reggae in the background. Accommodation here is basic but comfortable and in a great location, right on the beach front.

Jump on our custom-built One Life boat to take you island hopping finishing at our tropical island beach camp. No ordinary camp, we have built this especially for our guests complete with hammocks, volleyball nets and even a tree house! Tucked away on a secluded beach, the camp has everything we need. Snorkel with turtles, explore the island or join in on our beach games over a couple of beers. This is your time to truly experience idyllic island life. We have our own boat, which allows us to explore the surrounding islands and experience how the local island communities live. In the evening, we get together around the fire by our own little beach ’bar’ and watch the spectacular sunset that this area is famous for. Perfect! For the more adventurous, we visit a secret rain forest waterfall for a dip on the second day to wash off all that sand and salt. Don’t worry about food either, our local guides will be catching fish during the day while we explore the area and cook up feasts for us! Condition permitting, we will visit one of the small schools on neighboring islands to meet the kids and find out what it’s like to grow up in a remote area of the Philippines.

In the morning we all jump into a bus and we are on our way to El Nido When we arrive, you will see why Palawan was named the most beautiful island group in the world. Surrounded by islands and cliffs, El Nido is a secret paradise we are lucky enough to share. Once you pick your jaws up off the ground, we will check in to the funkiest hostel in Palawan. Exclusive to One Life, this slick hostel looks more like a boutique hotel than a backpackers Settle in, then head out to one of our favorite beach bars in the evening for food and fun.

We spend today outside El Nido in small villages with the local people. We learn to climb a coconut tree, learn about the many uses they have for coconuts, discover the secret for cooking a perfect ’Adobe’ (national dish of the Philippines), try your hand at weaving with palm leaves, and finish with a Halo-Halo (Filipino iced dessert). When you are feeling brave enough, it’s time to take a hike up to the top of the mountain overlooking the beach. Why? Because this is your time to know how it feels to fly across the ocean between two islands over beaches and corals reefs. Once you finish your zip line, wade across the water and join the crew on the beach, we’ll then head to one of our favorite sunset spots before heading back to town for dinner.
