  Davao, Palawan experience
We went to Mindanao and Palawan. We are a group of 7 We hiked , trekked and camp in the southern part of Mindanao which was excellent as these trails and destinations were prinstine and less trodden. And thanks to the E-Philippines for its professional arrangements with the guides locally and transportation. We were well looked after in the mountains with good food. We then went to Puerto Princessa, El Nido and Coron. Daily activities with island hopping and the UNESCO wonder of the Puerto Princessa Subterreanea river system is something that one must not miss when nearby. Last but not least , Tamilok is a must tried delicacy in Palawan. We thoroughly enjoyed our trip, and it would not be possible without the smooth organisation by the E-Philippines.👍👍👍👍👍

  A stunning trip and amazing Service from Russell and Team
We are just back from a stunning trip booked via E philippines Adventure - we decided to use a local travel agent as they would have better knowledge than UK companies - the downside is you are a little nervous dealing with a company the other side of the world. After detailed research on the company and the reviews, we decided to make the booking with them. From start to finish they have been amazing ! - tailoring our trip to our requirements, making suggestions on activities and hotels and in constant touch via email and whatsapp. They booked everything including transfers - checked us in on all flights - seat 1A and 1B !!, a nice touch, whatsapped check in details - they couldn't have done more. If you are planning a trip to the Philippines i would 100% recommend Russell and his team ! We did a 17 N - 4 island trip - My one tip would be to stay at Cauayan Island off El Nido - one of the most beautiful hotels and islands we have been to - amazing !! - but start saving the pennies for this hotel !

  Amazing!!!
The tour package organized for my group was truly remarkable. As it was my first solo trip to the Philippines, this itinerary provided an ideal way to experience the country. Even two of my friends, who had visited the Philippines in recent years, were impressed by the activities included in our itinerary. I also greatly appreciate their patience and prompt responses to all my inquiries and concerns throughout the trip. Their assistance ensured a smooth flow of events and contributed to the group's overall comfort and enjoyment. I highly recommend ePhilippines Adventure Travel and Destinations to anyone considering a trip to the Philippines.

  A great trip to the Philippines!
We wanted a trip of 12 days in the Philipines. Russell from ePhilippines Adventure planned our whole time there from A to Z. He was always available for consultation and sent us all our tickets, pick-up times, hotel reservations and daily programs as agreed. We highly recommend Russell to anyone planning a trip to th Philippines. Haggai

  Well-planned and organized tour
We were a group of more than 100pax. EPhilippines was able to deliver such that the trip to Camiguin, Cagayan de Oro and Bukidnon was enjoyed by everyone in the group.

  The 40 years of friendship rekindled.
The group package was catered to make us comfortable except the banca ride because of the waves. The tourist spots we went were amazing. But because we have to travel by sea and land, we did not get to enjoy fully the last stretch of our tour in Bukidnon. Being a big group is great because we get to rekindke our school days abd creating new memories after 40 years.

  Trustworthy, stress-free, and good value-for-money travel experience
Communication was excellent throughout the process. They were responsive, informative, and patient, ensuring I felt confident and well-prepared for the trip. The itinerary itself was perfectly planned, offering a perfect balance of adventure and relaxation for both me and my mom.

  Fun & Adventure
My husband & I went on this trip for our 29th anniversary celebration. Russell was very receptive & easily accessible. He answered all my questions and requests. He arranged all the hotels, transfers, tours, so we didn’t have anything to worry about. We ended up with a romantic dinner celebration on the beach & a fun- filled adventure tour in Palawan. Thanks, Russell.

  Excellent travel operator in Philippines
We just finished the two weeks private tour in Philippines planned and organized by ePhilippines Adventure Travel. The trip included hiking, snorkeling, kayaking, canyoning, and other activities. We stayed on 5 different islands and visited a few more. We are very satisfied with the trip. Everything ePhilippines booked for us worked flawlessly. The activities were top notch, the transfers were on time, the guides were experienced and very helpful. We enjoyed working with Russell. He is a very knowledgeable and experienced operator. He spent time learning our priorities and constraints and offered the tour that matched our needs perfectly. We traveled the world a lot and worked with many operators in different countries and regions. What differentiates Russel is his responsiveness to any requests and situations. When we were planning the trip, he responded to our questions within a day. When we were on the trip, he made himself available to us in real time. Any questions, any requests, any concerns we communicated to him, he responded and resolved the matters immediately. We are very satisfied with the services ePhilippines provided to us and strongly recommend them for your travel needs in Philippines.

Our Experiences in Davao

May 28, 2024

We had a very exciting and memorable experiences during our tour last May 10 to 12, 2024. The private van we had and the most patient and very understanding Kuya Mike, as our driver helped us to know the Davao’s culture. We’re able to see the city and countryside tourist spots as well as the Samal island clear water beaches and resorts. The famous durain fruit tasting that we had, (kuya Mike offered to us all the kinds of durian for tasting) and learned that there were so many varieties of durian fruits.

The Royal Mandaya hotel where we had checked in, was okay except for the triple occupants in one room, it was not comfortable for 3 people, but their food were amazing and delicious.

All in all, we had a wonderful and happy moments with the 3 day tours we had in your company, thank you and we will book again for other places and i will refer your company to my friends

  Apart from the Philippines exceeding our expectations, the main thing that kept coming up in conversations during our trip was the excellent service we received from our travel agent Russell at ePhilippines Adventure Travel. We were doing island hopping which obviously involved us having to stay in different hotels every few days. Although we had the detailed itinerary in hand, Russell kept in touch to see that everything was going well, informing us when we would  be picked up and seeing to any problem we faced. On the last day Russell met us at the Dampa Seafood Market to help us negotiate the buying of fresh fish which we then had cooked at The Royal Kitchen Restaurant . Could not recommend this agent enough.

  Planning a relaxing vacation just got easier!

From the initial inquiry to receiving my detailed itinerary, everything about booking with e-Philippines Adventure Travel and Destinations was incredibly smooth and efficient. They took the stress out of vacation planning completely, which was especially valuable since I was traveling with my mom to Cebu and Bohol and wanted a tour tailored to her needs :)

  From Palawan to Davao to Bohol and back to Palawan, e-Philippines has been my go to travel partner. They never failed to make our adventures fun and enjoyable! Their coordinators are easy to reach, and always ready to help and address concerns (if and should you have any). 'Til the next adventure!

  We had the Sagada adventure plus Baguio Dec 29, 2023 to Jan3, 2024.Am still in awe with the scenic and calming mountain valleys, rice terraces with stories behind it, adtenaline adventure to the caves, trekking down the falls, hanging coffins and much more. The local guides so helpful down to pur safety. The New Year buffet at the Log Cabin was a thumbs up: had to mention the wild mushroom soup. Thanks to our experienced driver cruising to that majestic, rugged terrain back safe to Manila with load of memories!!

  We have booked for travel in Bohol last November and we are very disappointed with the travel agency. They have a miscommunication between the agency and their staff that we have to suffer the consequences. On our island hoping trip, we were told that we have to pay the ride (since everything has been paid for prior to our vacation). We were at a loss looking for the boat driver. We don't know where the beach is since we are not from Bohol. Very poor experience! I will not recommend the service to anyone!

 recommendsTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Facebook. Based on their very positive TripAdvisor reviews, we booked a trip to the Philippines and used e-Philippines Adventure Travel and Destinations to arrange our visit.
I found the service and response of this travel agency to be excellent. Easily 5-stars. My emails were promptly responded to, communication before and during the trip was outstanding and everything was well organized.
Rusell and the team are very knowledgeable, and their affiliations and personal connections will ensure you receive superb service.

I would highly recommend this company to anyone wanting to visit this interesting country.

 recommendsTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Facebook. I reached out to Russell and his team to arrange our dream family vacation to Boracay. The process is seamless and well communicated. Russell patiently worked with me to check the best package for our big family of 17 people. He always followed through, thereby avoiding any worries during our planning. 

I highly recommend E-Philippines Adventure Travel and Destinations. They know very well the tourism business! 

I will definitely hire them again to arrange our future trips. 

Thank you, Russel,l for making our dream vacation hassle-free and very enjoyable!
