Is this trip right for you?

  • This trip involves scuba diving on multiple days; please refer to the Medical & Health Information for this trip to understand the fitness and health requirements before booking.

  • Kawasan Falls Canyoneering involves hiking, climbing, wading, and swimming through jungle gorges — moderate fitness is required, though non-swimmers can still complete the route.

  • Diving is not permitted within 18 hours of a flight, so a few days on this trip are dive-free by design — please read the itinerary carefully to see which days these fall on.

  • Several travel days involve multiple flights, ferries, and van transfers between islands; these are long days, so please check the itinerary for timings.

  • Guesthouse accommodation throughout is on a twin/triple-share, budget basis — please set expectations accordingly if you're used to higher-end stays.

  • Most days include breakfast only, with dinners self-arranged at local restaurants — this gives flexibility but means dinner costs aren't included in the trip price.
