A Balabac Private Tour is for you if:
This is best for couples, families or group of friends who want to visit Balabac together. Although there is a standard itinerary, we can customize it to fit your needs.
However, if you want to spend less, then you can join our Balabac Group Tour where we pool people together for a specific travel schedule!
As long as your travel date allows you to have minimum of 3D2N in Balabac, then we can accommodate you.
Pick from 3D2N, 4D3N and 5D4N.
3D2N – For travelers who have limited time. Visiting all islands in the inclusions is not guaranteed, but you still get to go to the most beautiful ones like Onok Island, Candaraman Sandbar, Mansalangan Sandbar and Punta Sebaring beach and sandbar. If you want to visit all destinations in the inclusions, then you should go for 4D3N.
4D3N – Ideal length of time to travel the highlights of Balabac. You get to visit all the top destinations without hurrying to leave for the next.
5D4N – More laid back than 4D3N. You will still visit the same set of islands (plus a bonus) but spend more time in each one.

Your lodge/hotel in Puerto Princesa
Since it is difficult for guests to arrange their own transportation from Puerto Princesa to Buliluyan port where our private boat picks you up, we are including the van transpo in our package. We only outsource the van and driver, and coordinate/mediate between guest and driver for the pick up.
For tours with 5 people or less, the van is shared (which means the driver picks up other passengers along the way. If you don’t like the idea of this, you may opt to book a private van which will incur additional cost.
For tour 6 and above, the van is private. Sometimes our crew with supplies will ride along with the van.
Given this, please expect that there may be late notice in the pick up time if the 3rd party transport group adjusts their schedule. If any changes happen, we will update you.
Our Balabac Private Tour itineraries are rough estimates only. It is highly subject to change due to weather, wind, wave condition. Don’t expect a perfect itinerary in Balabac.

Note that our standard itinerary suggests that you should arrive to Puerto Princesa a day before (Day 0) that start of your tour to maximize Day 1.
Starting your tour on the same day of your arrival to PPS is possible only if you take the earliest flight which arrives to PPS at 6-8am. We will then pick you up from the airport and send you to Balabac and visit 1-2 islands before arriving to our beach campsite. This counts as Day1.
If you arrive at 9-10 am, you may still start the tour but you will not be able to hop to an island before arriving to the campsite. This still counts as Day 1.
If you arrive later than 11 am, you will not be able to reach the campsite by daylight, so it is best to start the tour the next day.
All payment transfers for our Balabac tours, whether local or abroad should be done in any of the following methods.
Once ready to pay, kindy message us in FB messenger (this is where we monitor bookings) so we can send you the account details.

Super hassle free! Our Balabac tour was super worth it!
Balabac. One for the books 🙂 The locals (our guide/s and babysitters ) were very friendly Shout out to Ate Nini, Nanay and Ardee. organized and the food was great!
Thank you Wander Walkers for the experience of a lifetime! The islands of Balabac is simply breathtaking and our trip was made even better by your hospitable staff, simple but delish food and our funny and accommodating boatmen. Worth every penny!
Best experience ever. Balabac is really a paradise. If you want to spend some days totally dip in unspoiled nature that’s the right place. Thank to Jonai of The WanderWalkers we were able to make our trip to Balabac. She organized everything in detail in an impeccable manner. Visiting Balabac is completly safe, we didn’t have any problems thank to The WanderWalkers who will ensure that guests are always safe and away from danger (you will not visit places where there is malaria or other places at “risk”). Another special thank to the family who hosted us in Punta Sebaring, they make us feel part of the family. Really one of the deepest and beautiful experience ever. Maybe impossibile tho explain with words.
Our trip to Balabac Island is just so unforgettable. The WanderWalkers arranged the tour smoothly and we didn’t encounter any problem because everything is already taken good care by them and you don’t need to worry what to eat for meals because everything will be served by their assigned tour guide. The experience is simply amazing and not to mention the island’s breathtaking scenery (powdery white sand, crystal clear water, majestic sunset and amazing sunrise).Thanks for everything Ms. Jonai. Thumbs up!
For those people who are afraid to visit the island, then sorry to tell you but you won’t be getting any further. If you let your fears hold you back from enjoying then you will surely regret it. Because of our courage and determination despite of negative rumors, we experienced the feeling to be in an island that we considered a real paradise. By the way, we returned home SAFELY
