    7 DAYS EXTREME EXPERIENCE IN THE NORTH PART OF THE PHILIPPINES

    This was very amazing and one of a kind, seeing the different parts of the Philippines was very astounding. Culture was very nourished and coated by some preserve ethnical things from the past. Our first stop is the trekking to the volcano and ride a 4x4 truck, it was very extreme and awesome experience having a thrilling ride to the area where the aftermath of the eruption. We see some indigenous people there and witness their different structures and characteristics figures. The first stop was very beautiful and manageable because of of our travel coordinator Seana that has a good presence of attitude and lovely smile every time she is talking and even we ask her some questions. She manage everything until we reach our next stop the rice field of terraces the Bananue Rice Terraces. Travel time almost 9 hours and our driver Rhed was very smooth and professional on his driving skills, he let our selves relax and comfortable on his driving talent, thanks for making us safe until we reach our last destination in Baguio to Manila. We got a lot of fun and extreme experience on this trip that we never experience before, for us our highlight to this is the Hotspring and The Cave we thought that we can make it but WE DID IT !!!!! Thanks to our local guides for bringing some local experiences Abner in Banaue and Rex to the Sagada heading to the Hanging Coffins. To end this if you want a good and safe people to take care of you on the trip, we recommend Seana and Rhed for you, so that if would be easy and smooth for you to manage the trip. This trip is a ALL IN ONE cultural trip with some UNESCO Heritage spots sightseeing.

    Fantastically thorough tour of Philippine's cultural highlights

    Did this tour with my mum and her partner (both >65). The tour started in Manila, and included a side trip to Mt. Pinatubo (an add-on), Banuae rice terraces; Sagada; and Baguio (also an add-on). The tour overall was excellent and well planned. Our travel coordinator Seana was fun, knowledgable, and went above and beyond with catering to our needs (including looking after my mum when she didn't feel comfortable going on one of the treks). She gave considerable flexibility with the tour and made sure we were enjoying ourselves as much as possible. Our driver Rhed was also great; very professional and safe, we never felt in danger at any point in the trip despite the long drives and difficult terrain. The individual tour guides at each stop were also great. Particular shout outs to Abner for his extremely thorough information on Batad, Jimmy for much the same of Hapao, and Rex for being extremely considerate of my mum and her partner's age when navigating the Sumaguiong Cave. The overall locations we visited where mostly great, especially Batad and the cave in Sagada. The days were packed with just the right amount of activities to be active without feeling overwhelming. The sites on display are certainly extremely impressive and not as well visited as other places in the Philippines. I encourage everyone who wants either a cultural or environmental experience to strongly consider this tour, since it caters to both aspects extremely well. In terms of physical exertion, the experience was mostly moderate. My elderly mum and her partner were able to do everything except for the Batad terraces. In terms of negatives, I'd say the accommodation in Banaue was pretty bad, with poor amenities. The other places we stayed were great though, so I consider it a one off. The traffic in Baguio was also awful and meant we weren't able to do some of the activities planned for the day, but it was OK because they were just moved to the night and following morning. All in all the tour was great. We all had a great time due to the quality of the locations and the professionalism of our guides and driver. Strongly recommend.

    Amazing North Luzon Tour with YOLO

    We did a one week trip to North Luzon with Joannah (travel coordinator) and Marlon (driver) and had such an amazing time. We left from Manila and then went to Bagio, Sagada and Banaue. We loved each of the places, from the food and museums in Bagio to the stunning scenery of the Banaue rice terraces to the hanging coffins of Sagada. Joannah had planned lots of activities for us, however if we wanted to do something that was not on the itinerary or mix things up, that was also fine, it was all very relaxed and nothing was too much trouble. We felt safe and comfortable with Marlon at the wheel and would definitely go with Yolo again for another great adventure. Thank you so much to Paulo, Joannah and Marlon for giving as a really awesome experience #YOLO

    Embark on a 7-Day Banaue-Sagada Adventure of a Lifetime: questions travelers ask

    Practical detail on this experience, plus the wider planning questions for Manila.

    How much does Embark on a 7-Day Banaue-Sagada Adventure of a Lifetime cost?

    +

    Prices start at $1,300 per person. The final price depends on the date, the time slot and the number of travelers, and peak weekends in Manila usually price higher than midweek mornings. Live pricing and remaining availability are confirmed on the booking screen before you pay.

    How long does Embark on a 7-Day Banaue-Sagada Adventure of a Lifetime take?

    +

    Plan for about 168 hours from start to finish, not counting travel to the meeting point. Most travelers leave another 30 minutes on either side so the rest of the day in Manila is not rushed.

    Is Embark on a 7-Day Banaue-Sagada Adventure of a Lifetime worth it?

    +

    It holds an Outty Ranking of 54 out of 100, which we label "Worth a Look". That score blends traveler sentiment (5/5 across 3 reviews), the depth of that review evidence, recent booking momentum, value for money against comparable outdoors in Manila, and how flexible the cancellation terms are.

    Can I cancel or reschedule Embark on a 7-Day Banaue-Sagada Adventure of a Lifetime?

    +

    No. This experience is sold on a non-refundable basis, so only book a date you are confident about. Similar experiences in the city do offer free cancellation if flexibility matters more than price.

    Is Embark on a 7-Day Banaue-Sagada Adventure of a Lifetime suitable for kids and families?

    +

    Yes, all ages are welcome. Families should still weigh the 168-hour running time, and strollers are easier on the earlier, quieter departures.

    How far in advance should I book Embark on a 7-Day Banaue-Sagada Adventure of a Lifetime?

    +

    Around 1 people booked this in the last 30 days, so popular slots go early. Two to three weeks ahead is comfortable in shoulder season, while summer weekends and holidays in Manila can sell out a month out. Same-day spots do open up when other travelers cancel, so it is worth checking if you are already in town.

    What should I bring or wear?

    +

    Bring photo ID, your booking confirmation on your phone, a refillable water bottle and comfortable shoes. Dress for the weather in Manila and add a light layer if any part of the 168-hour experience runs outdoors or after sunset.

    Where does Embark on a 7-Day Banaue-Sagada Adventure of a Lifetime start and how do I get there?

    +

    The exact meeting point and directions are on your voucher once you book, and they sit in central Manila within reach of public transport. Arrive 15 minutes early: late arrivals are treated as no-shows by most operators.

    What are the best things to do in Manila?

    +

    On Outty we rank every Manila experience on the same 0 to 100 scale, and alongside this one the highest scorers right now include Manila Food Tour: Introduction to Philippine Street Food, Experience Intramuros with Bamboo Bicycle - Ecotours, Spectacular Manila to Tagaytay: Full-Day Sightseeing Tour. The city page groups everything into most popular, highest reviewed, last minute and family-friendly so you can build a day around what actually delivers.

    When is the best time to visit Manila?

    +

    Booking patterns follow the same curve: prices and queues climb in peak weeks, while shoulder season gives you better availability on the top-ranked experiences and more room to change plans.

    How many days do you need in Manila?

    +

    Three full days covers the headline sights without sprinting. A workable rhythm is one anchor experience each morning, such as this one, an unhurried afternoon in a single neighborhood, then a food or nightlife booking in the evening. Five days lets you add a day trip outside the city.

    Do I book through Outty or through the operator?

    +

    Outty ranks and explains the experiences, then hands you to Viator to complete the booking with the operator directly. The price is the same as booking on Viator yourself, and Outty earns an affiliate commission on the referral, which is how the rankings stay free to read.

    What is included in Embark on a 7-Day Banaue-Sagada Adventure of a Lifetime?
