Maganda Experience Avis 

Friendly and warm people. All as advertised.

Traveling to the Philippines with this amazing women-led travel group was truly one of the most empowering and healing experiences of my life. I formed real connections with inspiring women from all corners of the world — we shared stories over local food, surfed everyday, and motivated to always PADDLE through life
We felt safe, supported, and genuinely seen — something every woman deserves when she travels.
Huge shout out to Maganda ! You were amazing

Sending so much love, sunshine & waves, Mich 🧡🌺🌅✨

I had such an amazing experience on my trip! Silvia really delivered with her promise of a wholesome, warm, welcoming space where we could share our love of adventure with likeminded girls. I found it a really safe space to step out of my comfort zone and learn new skills (surfing) — the views and magic of the Maldives was just a bonus! Definitely consider maganda experience if you’re wanting to try new things, make new friends, and make many long-lasting memories! 🌺💗

Hey girlies! 🌊✨

I went to the Maldives with Maganda and honestly, it was the best decision ever! Every moment was incredible. The girls I traveled with were absolutely amazing — such a safe and supportive group to be around. I don’t think I’ve ever felt this safe before.

Surfing was such a highlight — even if you’re a total beginner, it’s so worth trying! Just watch out for the “washing machine”… learned that one the hard way haha 😅

Huge thanks to everyone who made this trip happen. Leaving was definitely the hardest part, but fingers crossed we’ll all reunite soon!

Massive love to the Maganda team — thank you for everything! 💖🏄‍♀️🌴

Maganda Expirience was an amazing experience. I went there a bit nervous, not sure how it was gonna be to spend two weeks sorrounded by women I had never met before and from so many different countries and cultures. And I can just say I had the best time. The girls were so nice, the place was so beautiful and the people there were always helping us and making sure we ate amazingly and had lots of fun while surfing and outside the surf sessions. I would defenitely recommend this trip to everyone. Just book it. Being nervous and excited are amazing feelings, and once you are there you will see it was worth it.
If given the chance, I'm defenitely going back.
Thanks Maganda for this beautufl experience <3

Catanduanes is an island that once you visit, you will want to come back many times🏝️Especially when I joined the Maganda trip , I didn’t even expect that it’ll be so active, so much surf, fun and lots of impressions. We became one big family, I want to repeat this experience many more times! Thank you for this experience ❤️

It was a lovely experience, everything was very well taken care of, must recommended for anyone looking for a good break, I got to meet some wonderful girls and had an incredible time. Surfing sessions were beginner friendly which were perfect for me, infact I even learnt how to swim as I wasn’t very confident with my swimming skills, they gave me extra sessions and took great care of me! Very very glad that I booked the trip :)

I joined Maganda Experience at a moment in my life when I felt completely lost and unsure of what to do next. I just knew I needed an escape and what I found was so much more than that.

From the very beginning, I felt a sense of peace that I hadn’t felt in a long time. The girls, the energy, the slow rhythm of the days… it gave me space to breathe again.

What made it truly special was the group of like-minded girls I was surrounded by — supportive, inspiring, and each on their own journey too. It felt like the safe restart I didn’t know I needed.

I can’t recommend Maganda enough. If you’re looking for a reset, connection, or just time to come back to yourself, this is it. 💛

Had the best time on the all-girls surf trip with Maganda Experience in Catanduanes, Philippines April last year. The waves were fun, the island was beautiful, and the vibes were amazing. I learned so much, hit all my goals, and met the coolest group of women. Such an empowering and unforgettable trip—already dreaming about the next one! 🌊💙

I spontaneously booked this trip to end a 3 month traveling period and I couldn’t have chosen a better way to end it. Silvia has created an amazing environment for women wanting to travel and connect with likeminded people. I’ve met the most amazing woman and had the best chats.
Discovering this beautiful corner of the Philippines with this fantastic group will always have a special place in my heart.
You can’t compare the experience with any other group trip.

Maganda Experience is the perfect way to travel alone for the first time! I had the best two weeks with some amazing girls.
We had so much fun and i take these memories with me for the rest of my life.
I went on the girls surf trip in Catanduanes, and even though i had never surfed before i felt so safe doing it for the first time there. We had great instructors and just surfing with the girls was so much fun. I also loved exploring the islands and doing yoga and other activities with the girls💗

I would love to travel with Maganda again soon!

I absolutely love Magandas girls trips, they’re the perfect mix of wholesome and inspiring. I did the Catanduanes surf trip. There’s something really special about being surrounded by kind, open-hearted women. Getting to share laughs, adventures, and meaningful moments.

I had two of the most amazing weeks of my life — a truly authentic experience on a remote island with zero tourists. The team of surf instructors was incredible, and we had so much fun together. I absolutely loved learning to surf, going island hopping, playing beach volleyball, partying, and enjoying all the other activities.

The group of girls I met was amazing — we bonded so quickly, and I’ve already planned to meet up with two of them soon in the Netherlands.

This trip was right in the middle of my 3-month solo adventure, and it was without a doubt one of the biggest highlights. I truly couldn’t recommend it more!

Maganda experience is by far one of the best trips I’ve ever done. So well organised, so many fun activities, perfect location and most importantly a safe and wholesome time spent making lifelong friends from around the world. Couldn’t recommend enough, I miss it!

It was the first time I traveled alone, and it was the best decision of my life! This adventure has been etched in my memories. I had the chance to meet incredible people, as well as breathtaking landscapes. Everything was perfect for a dream trip! Thank you again Maganda Experience 🩷

My time with Maganda was truly eye-opening. It was the first time I traveled so far on my own, and joining this group turned out to be the best first solo experience I could’ve ever asked for.

From day one, I connected deeply with the other girls, and to this day, we’re still in touch, still close friends, and I miss them dearly.

Silvia was incredible. She made sure we were all comfortable, safe, and cared for every step of the way. One of the best parts of this trip was that it was an all-girls adventure. We could truly relax, be ourselves, and simply enjoy each other’s presence while learning new things like surfing, Filipino culture, and how to disconnect from the noise of everyday life.

I promised myself I’d come back one day, and I truly can’t wait.
