Travel Tips
Pack for Tropical Weather
Lightweight, breathable clothing is essential. Don't forget swimwear, a quick-dry towel, and a light rain jacket for sudden showers.
Using Tricycles
Tricycles are the most common local transport. Negotiate the fare before getting in, or ask a local for the standard rate to your destination.
Cash is King
While major cities accept cards, many islands and rural areas rely on cash. Always carry small bills (20s, 50s, 100s) for small purchases.
Hydration Safety
Stick to bottled or purified water. Avoid tap water and ice cubes in street stalls unless you are sure they are made from purified water.
Filipino Hospitality
Filipinos are incredibly friendly. A smile goes a long way. "Salamat" means thank you and is always appreciated.
Sun Protection
The sun can be very strong. Bring high SPF reef-safe sunscreen, a hat, and sunglasses to protect yourself during island hopping.
