Verified SURREAL EXPERIENCE I just want to share that daryll and his team did a great job making sure everything is enjoyable and safe for us. They're very friendly and always assisting us! In summary, we had a very great and pleasant experience in Balabac. We highly recommend this trip. 🩵🩷Verified Balabac tour The full experience (from the begin with the reservation until the end with the complete Balabac tour done) was simply perfect and amazing. The driver, the boat crew and the camp site were super professional, accomodant and gentle. We couldn’t ask anything better!Verified An unforgettable Balabac experience 🌴 Honestly, one of the best experiences I’ve had in the Philippines. The whole team was incredibly kind, helpful, and welcoming from start to finish. Leo, Mark, Henry, and Michael were absolutely amazing. They made sure everyone was safe and comfortable, and brought such a fun energy to the whole trip. It genuinely felt like exploring with friends while still being extremely professional. I’m definitely coming back just to see them again haha! (And the turtles ofc) The food was also absolutely delicious. The chef was so attentive and always took our requests into consideration. If we loved a particular dish, he would make it again for us when asked! Everyone was so generous, even sharing recipes with us at the end. They also made sure to accommodate different needs within the group, including our Muslim travelers who couldn’t eat pork and those who had difficulties eating rice/meat at breakfast. You could really feel how much they cared. The landscapes were breathtaking. Having done quite a few excursions around the Philippines, I can honestly say these were some of the most scenic I’ve experienced. The team was clearly proud of their region and genuinely happy to share it with us and show us around. Worth every peso, and honestly a dream come true for me. 🌊❤️Verified FANTASTIC EXPERIENCE The tour to Balabac with Wanderwalkers was a fantastic experience. Everything was organized to perfection, from the transfers to the days on the boat. The base camp at Punta Sebaring is basic, but well-maintained. Our guide Ayura (I apologize if I got the name wrong, but I don't know how to spell it ;) ) was very good and very nice, as was the whole staff. We really spent some beautiful days. And the Balabac archipelago is an authentic paradise!!! I recommend it to everyone!Verified Quick trip to paradise! Beautiful, rustic, and nomadic experience! We visited several islands of the Balabac archipelago, always accompanied by our guide and the boat crew. The staff was always kind and helpful, and the food was varied and abundant. The camp is located on a beautiful beach (watch out for sandflies): rustic facilities as presented, but clean. An experience to choose if you don't expect hotel comforts. We liked it a lot, and we were lucky enough to see the islands empty since it was low season.Verified The best part of our trip in the Philippines The islands and beaches in Balabac have been incredible, and even better alongside a good team, attentive, helpful, and fun, who make everything turn out perfectly! A pleasure of a trip; it really allows you to disconnect and enjoy every day.Verified An Unforgettable Balabac Adventure🌴🥥☀️🐢💚 Balabac is pure heaven on earth — crystal-clear waters, untouched beaches, breathtaking islands and unforgettable sunsets. A true paradise in the Philippines. The Wanderwalkers made the experience even better with great organisation, friendly guides and a warm, memorable adventure. Thank you for showing us the magic of Balabac!Verified Amazing experience of a lifetime We had the most amazing experience! The team really took the time and do extra for us all the time! The transport guy drove nice and safe to the port. We always knew what will happen next so they always gives good information. Our guide Jeremy was awesome in every way and even used his drone to take video of us! All the team was soo friendly! We were 10 strangers that got together for the Tour and left as good friends. We had soo much fun all the time! Soo clear waters, good snorkling with turtles and fishes, the most amazing beautiful beaches, makes this a wonderful memory I would love to have more of!Verified Go to Paradise, be amazed What an amazing experience! Expect remote islands, beautiful sunsets and endless clear water. Of course, accomodation is simple and it really is back to the basics, but it only adds to that remote paradise feeling. Mark and his crew did their very best to make it a wonderfull four days. Only downside is the sandflies, but that's not something the company can do anything about. Five stars all over!Verified A real highlight This tour with Wanderwalkers was a real highlight. Everything was superbly organized, from the pickup to the daily island hopping. Daryll, in particular, did a fantastic job leading the tour. The food was delicious every day. The long journey there is absolutely worth it. I’ve never seen such beautiful beaches before. I definitely recommend it.Load more
