How fit do I need to be?
Each tour says how hard it is. Easy means short walks most people manage; moderate means two to four hours a day with steep steps; challenging means long days and a night climb. If you are unsure, write to us with what you usually do and we will tell you honestly.
Can I come on my own?
Yes. Most of our travellers come alone or in pairs. Rooms are shared with one other traveller of the same sex unless you ask for a room of your own, which costs extra.
What about food?
We eat what the villages eat: rice, vegetables, chicken and pork, with fruit and coffee. Tell us about any diet or allergy when you book and we plan around it.
How cold does it get?
In the mountains, nights from December to February can drop below 10 degrees, and close to freezing on Mt Pulag. Each tour lists the layers to bring.
Can you run a private trip for our group?
Yes, on any date we have guides free, for four people or more. Write to us with your dates and group size.
Can children come?
On the easy and moderate tours, from age ten, with an adult. The Pulag climb and the Cordillera loop are for adults.
Do I need travel insurance?
We strongly advise it, with cover for hiking and for trips cut short by weather.
How do I pay?
By bank transfer or GCash. We send the details with your confirmation; we never ask for card numbers by email.
