Best travel and tours! We enjoyed our stay even though the weather is not so favorable. The team who assisted us (shout out to Jeremy!) were very accommodating and super fun. Balabac is a place where you can relax from the city life.

Just book the trip
Solid experience. The boat crew was awesome... Daryl , I miss you ! 😂 if youre reading this, thanks for making this a great experience even for the solo traveler. The food was AMAZING, the weather was great, the waters amazing and the locals I met were very kind. I learned alot about the islands from conversing with people that live there, it was interesting. Altogether 10 out of 10. My advice is bring a book, download movies to your phone or just bring something you enjoy for downtime . This is a RELAXED venture, so dont expect all these crazy activities. It was a great way to step away from my "on the Go" travels.

Best campsite in Balabac
Our experience with WanderWalkers was absolutely memorable, and I have zero regrets about booking with them. From the very beginning, the communication was seamless. All guidelines and reminders were so organized and helpful, and they were incredibly flexible when I needed to add my brother to my solo booking just a few weeks before the trip.Once the tour started, our guide, Jeremy, was a true professional. He took such great care of us, always prioritizing our safety above all else. The campsite was a dream - we had a gorgeous beach with super fine sand all to ourselves. The food was great: tasty, plentiful, and always included fresh fruits and veggies. Our TP hut was reasonably comfortable and I appreciate that there were plenty of clotheslines to dry our wet clothes.It was a surprise that there were comfort rooms with flushing toilets and bidets, but I loved it! Their small store was really handy when my sandals broke and I needed a replacement.Lastly, the dogsssss! I love all of them!I’m definitely coming back 🥰

The Best 4 Days of My Life – A Piece of My Heart Stays in Balabac ❤️
I have no words to truly describe my experience on this tour. I’ve left a piece of my heart there. I think these were the best four days of my life, and if I could, I would stay there forever.The camp was simply wonderful – I don’t even know where to start. The places we visited were the most beautiful I have ever seen, with the most stunning beaches I’ve ever set foot on. And trust me, I’ve been to many beaches in my life, but nothing compares to this.The most important part? The people at the camp were AMAZING! So kind, so helpful, always smiling and making us feel at home. The food was absolutely delicious – so good that my fiancé was looking for the chef to kiss his hands (haha!). We had everything: delicious meals, coffee all day, breathtaking views from our little cabin, and the best company.Our guide, Darel, was fantastic – so helpful, knowledgeable, funny, and always making sure we had the best time possible. He answered all our questions and knew everything about the area. The boat crew was also incredible – such kind people and so good at what they do.We met the most wonderful people during this trip, and leaving the camp to return to Puerto Princesa made me so sad… I realized we had been to paradise and then left (haha!). I truly hope I can come back one day.If you’re thinking about doing this tour – don’t think, just book it now!Thank you for everything – this was the best experience of my life!

Beautiful beaches without the crowds
The most incredible experience. The island life was unforgettable, the islands are beyond beautiful and so quiet. Each place was amazing with onuk being a particular highlight as swimming with turtles was a bucket list item for our group. We loved exploring all day relaxing back on sebaring in the evenings, we found our hut reasonably comfortable and slept well. As listed on booking facilities are basic but were more than we expected as there was a block with flushing toilets and showers, though these weren’t open the whole time they were a welcome surprise as we had been expecting bucket showers. We loved the food and it was plentiful. The people were fantastic and so friendly too, our guide Jeremy was brilliant and would always point out cool things when snorkeling. Thank you to the wonderful walkers team!
