Our trip was a shared one , we knew this and pick up was on time, Guide gave short introduction at each stop then group had a set time before we moved on. Lunch was initially to be very early 11.30 am but we alll agreed to make the river cruise and lunch last stop after chocolate hills. Viewpoint needs 200 plus steps so not for the lesss mobile. Pity that quad bikes below disturb peace of site. Excellent buffet lunch and river trip with music and bankside cultural show. Good value and varied if you can spare a day off the beach.

A day trip like no other. Hidden Valley Springs Resort in Laguna is a tropical rainforest paradise. This resort offers six natural pools can be enjoyed including two shallow kiddie pools and one natural Jacuzzi. Aside from swimming, another activity is hiking/strolling in the surrounding rainforest. Be one with nature and savour its peace and serenity: Follow the path to scattered springs and the “hidden waterfall” through wooden bridgeways and stoned pathways. After a daytrip here surely you will feel younger!!!!

We are a couple and we had a private full day tour to the Taal volcano area and Pagsanjan Falls. We had an amazing experience, the Yolo team was perfect, true professionals. Ryan, our guide, was so polite, with great knowledge of the areas and the English language. His English were so clear. This doesn't happen often in Asia. The areas we visited were superb and we had lunch at a traditional restaurant near Pagsanjan falls where we enjoyed the local cuisine and chatting with our guide and driver about life in Philippines. At our way back they treated us with Coconut pie! Fresh hot from the best bakery of the area. Yamy! An unforgettable experience. I totally recommend YOLO travel agency.

This is Manila. It’s a city filled with history from different influences: Spanish, Chinese, and of course, Filipino. Experience Manila like a local and explore the inner streets to get a first-hand glimpse of the everyday life of Filipinos. The Manileño Tour will take you around Manila in the best way we know how: via commute. A visit to Manila is not complete without riding a jeepney and a kalesa (Filipino horse carriage). Tour around the Spanish walls of Intramuros, busy markets of Divisoria, cultural streets of Chinatown, and momentous grounds of Rizal Park.

We did a Bangkok temple tour and visit to bridge over the river Kwai. Pete was our tour guide and he is exceptional at what he does. He is very well known within the trade and if you’re with Pete you are a VIP. Kom was our driver and shuttled is to and from airport and our adventures! He is a great driver I would not want to drive there!

I was travelling as a solo female and JB and his team put together a custom-made tour based on the places I wanted to see. From start to finish I was very well looked after, given additional experiences that I would not have thought of doing and felt very safe during the whole trip. The highlights for me were the caves tour and Rice Terraces/Waterfall walk in Sagada but the whole trip was amazing and I would recommend JB!

We’ve just finished the 6 day Clark Mountain bike tour and it couldn’t have been better. From our initial email enquiries all the way through to the tour, Allan handled things absolutely perfectly. The rides were great, challenging climbs and some fast technical descents all the while surrounded by absolutely awesome scenery. The bikes were excellent and very well maintained by Roldan (aka. Bruno) who doubled as our driver. On top of that they got all the little things right.. with an endless supply of fluids/food on the ride (much needed due to the heat).. using support for detailed local knowledge of additional guides on some of the more off the beaten-track routes. If you want some serious cycling in this part of the world go do this tour. It’s way more fun in the Philippines! It will last long in my memory and I can’t thank Allan, Bruno and all involved in Beyond Outdoor Adventures enough. I’m sure will be back for more in the future...
