One Life Adventures Avis 

Had a wonderful and unforgettable experience in Japan with One Life Adventures.

We had a small but fun group. Each day was packed with activities as well as lots of free time to explore on our own.

Cozy and comfortable accommodations. Enjoyed exploring Japan with this group. Well organized tour. Got the most out of each day.

Dale, our tour leader and Georgi and Cameron, tour leaders in training were fantastic. They were always eager to answer our questions or make recommendations. Really cool, funny and awesome guides!

Will definitely be booking with One Life Adventures in the future!

Kevin and bono made the experience very enjoyable. They kept us busy as much as possible. They thought about our safety during the tropical storm. We extended our stay at the hotel, took us out for lunch and killed time by laughing whole bunch. Once the weather let up we catched up with our itinerary best as possible. The chocolate hills are really beautiful. Molboal is my favorite island on the east coast. Everything after that just seems very commercial, touristy, and expensive. I would recommend scuba diving, ATV, and enjoying the beach. The trip really is what you make of it. If you can get along with your tour guides you'll be fine. I have a lot of respect for bono & kevin. They really went above & beyond to take care of us. They helped us understand more of the Filipino culture and experience. They shared in depth of food that we had not had before. I can definitely say they are like family to us.

The Philippines East tour was great overall. I enjoyed all the activities - it was a nice balance of cultural and adventurous excursions and Christian did a great job of taking care of us and communicating all the information we needed to know throughout the tour. The only negative thing feedback I have is that I feel like my experienced was diminished somewhat since I was added to an existing tour group at the end of their 24-day tour when I thought I would be with people who signed up for the 10-day tour only. One of the reasons I do the One Life tours is that I don’t have anyone at home who will travel to places in Asia with me, and these tours give me a chance to meet new people and make friends. It is a weird social dynamic to be added to a group that has already been together for 14 days and I don’t feel like I had the same experience that I did when I went on the 10-day Philippines west tour previously because of it. I wish this had been communicated better, and I probably won’t sign up for another 10 day tour if there is a possibility of this happening again.

The East side tour with Christian was awesome.
The Sardine run, the sunset tour and seeing turtles were the highlights but the whole tour has been excellent. Thoroughly enjoyed my experience with One life and would recommend this tour to my friends.

Christian is an excellent guide; very attentive, supportive and informative.

I had an amazing time on the East Coast Philippines trip. Everything was well organized and ran smoothly from start to finish.
Bono was a fantastic tour guide, super friendly, knowledgeable, and passionate about showing us the real Philippines. We enjoyed great local food, cultural experiences, and fun activities throughout the trip.

Highly recommend this company if you’re looking for an authentic and memorable experience!

Jonny was the best tour guide l've ever had! He has made this whole trip an amazing experience. He was always there for anything we needed and just brought the vibes! The tour itself was very well chosen as well, since even when things fell through because of the weather or else, Jonny made sure we still made the best of the day. Would always book again!

I really enjoyed the West Philippines 10 day tour with our guide Jonathan. He was a great guide and a lot of fun with great recommendations. It was a lovely group to share the experience with and the tour itself was amazing. I particularly enjoyed the island hopping experiences and camping on the remote beach at night. Philippines is a beautiful country that will capture your heart.

This tour has been an amazing experience from start to finish. In particular, a massive shout out to our tour guide Jonny who has made the whole thing a once in a lifetime experience. He always brings positive energy and makes you laugh. He put us all at ease on the first night and I can truly say I have made friends for life. As for the activities on the tour they really make you feel like you are experiencing the Philippines from culture day to island hopping. I have loved every single second and couldn’t recommend it enough.

Bono was a fantastic tour guide. He kept the atmosphere within the group light and relaxed and was always there for you whenever you needed him. With great enthusiasm, he took us to beautiful, sometimes hidden places, and he had an excellent sense of what both the group and each individual needed. The connection with Bono was very personal and gentle; you truly felt seen and heard. At the same time, he is always up for a celebration and knows how to make every day feel like something worth celebrating.

The Philippines East tour was absolutely one of the most amazing tours I have done!! The included itinerary was fantastic with lots of different activities, but would also recommend to go for some of the additional activities such as canyoneering and diving!

Our tour guide Bono was an amazing guide who looked after our entire group so well! He shared so many great stories and made us all feel extremely comfortable throughout the tour.

I did the 14 day West Philippines Classic tour and had a positive experience with One Life. The itinerary met all expectations, and I enjoyed the journey. Everything was well organised and ran smoothly. Hats off to Vlad for making the tour so easy-going and stress-free. I would highly recommend this to anyone considering this trip.

Had a great tour! Great mix of people and a wide age range which I enjoyed as I’m 40plus and was worried I’m to old fr this adventure pre arrival

The trip and Philippines is amazing and so affordable compared to other destinations! The beaches are stunning

Lots of activities - there was no pressure if u wanted to skip the odd event to do it which I also appreciated as I missed the overnight experience due to having an upset stomach - the island hopping and tunnel exploration was great

Johnny the rep was a lively and fun character and a true ambassador of the Philippines 🇵🇭 he was very knowledgeable and always provided a historical briefing when arriving at destinations! He also helped me get my travel pillow back and Did a good job on the karioke 🎤

Only thing I would suggest to change is the tip at the end as not everyone agreed on what to give etc - a better way would be to arrange a service fee at the start maybe - this is a minor thing but it made it a bit awkward at the last night at the dinner

However this doesn’t take away from the rating - another slight negative for myself is that I’m too tall for the Phillipines 😂😂😂😂 but again this isn’t one life’s fault!

Loved the Philippines and having done time with the tour and time solo travelling on my own I preferred the tour personally! Also having done an island hopping day tour and excursions with an other company I feel that the excursions used by one life are actually the best on offer in the area!

Lots of love one life - and Johnny you take it easy bro

I saw beautiful Islands with even better beaches. Had great snorchel-experiences and one of the greatest tourguides!!!
We were in Port Barton and El Nido. That are good points to start some daytours. But not the best places to stay there. To crowded, noisy and smoky. But beside this, it was a super journey. Our guide knew everytime, where is the best place for dinner and drinks. Ever,time there for questions :)

My highlights were the overnight stay on an island in a tent, the boat trips, the very first stunning snorkeling spot, and the amazing view from Snake Island. Plus I really enjoyed not having to organize anything myself for a change.

Our guide was very friendly and funny and had an open ear for questions or requests.

The program was varied and well organized, and we were lucky to be part of a really great group.

Points for improvement:

I found it a bit confusing to keep track of which meals were included and which were not. I would personally prefer either an all-inclusive or an all-exclusive model to make things clearer.

The recommendation in the itinerary regarding how much money we should withdraw or budget for the trip did not match the guide’s own recommendations. This inconsistency caused uncertainty and confusion in the beginning of the journey.

Additionally, there were unannounced extra transportation costs, which we were not informed about in advance.

Finally, being asked to sit together with the guide if we did not intend to give a 5-star review, and to send the review (including a screenshot) directly to him, felt pressuring and left the impression that reviews may not fully reflect the actual experience.

Bono was an attentive guide, always checking if everyone was ok and enjoying themselves. I think it’s great that he is Filipino and so actually knows about the culture and what is best to do. He chose great places to eat and drink. Some of the accommodations could have been better. Overall it was enjoyable and well organised and Bono helped make it that way.

Able to experience local traditions within community and a variety of experiences provided such as water sports . Our guide on tour Bono very helpful and clear communication at all times

Booked the 14 day Philippine tour over Christmas & New Year, which was a truly incredible way to end the year. Exploring beautiful parts of Palawan including Port Barton, El Nido and Coron. We had a great group of people and a brilliant tour guide Vlad. The tour was filled with the right amount of exploring, boat trips, relaxing and travelling between destinations. My only recommendations for improvements was on day 11 the 5 hour ferry to Coron, making a lot of the group sea sick including myself and a long travel day. Additionally, the tour finished the morning of nye, it would have been better to include new year within the dates so the group could celebrate together. Would still highly recommend this tour.

Johnny was a great guide! He was lovely and accomodating to the whole group which made it such a great trip.

I booked through gap 360 to go on the One Life 10 day Philippine tour. The activities were all a lot of fun especially the boat trips and our guide Jonathan was really lovely and helpful throughout the trip and I always felt very safe and looked after. The food and accommodation met all of my expectations with all staff super friendly and willing to help with anything, the only thing to bare in mind when booking is that there were a couple hidden costs with the activities so make sure you bring enough cash. Overall a positive and enjoyable experience which I would definitely do again!

I joined the one life 10 day Philippines adventure tour with the lovely tour guide Jonathan.

Throughout the trip from start to finish I felt included and safe with the whole experience!
The range of activities, along with free time made the trip enjoyable as I was able to experience a range of things when visiting the different islands.

All accommodation and meals that were included met my expectations and staff were always ready and available to lend a hand.

Throughout the trip there were a few costs that came with activities which weren’t advertised before hand, so bare this in mind when bringing travel money. I took £200 (British pounds) with me which more than covered my 2 weeks.

Our tour guide Jonathan was formative and professional throughout, he engaged each and every traveler throughout!

Really lovely experience over all, booked through Gap.360, first time on a one life tour!
