Calamian Kayak Expedition

4-11 days
Resort stay & deluxe camping with gourmet meals
Tiered pricing available upon request

Go native like the seafaring Tagbanua, paddling your own kayak at your own pace but with the assurance of professional organization and support that leaves nothing to guess work. Let Tribal Adventures iron out the kinks in adventure travel.

Tap your Robinson Crusoe instincts and do what the Tagbanua of the Calamian Islands in the Western Philippines have been doing for centuries: paddle a tropical sea paradise described by the late Jacques Cousteau as "the last frontier".

The Calamianes number some 220 islands and all of them are accessible by kayak if you have a year to spare. If you don't, Tribal Adventures can condense 12 months into 12 days or less and provide the ultimate paddling experience. It does just this for prominent adventure companies Mountain Travel Sobek and EcoFirst Adventures.

As you paddle from island to island in small groups (or even on your own with an expert guide), staying in comfortable tented camps and resorts, you'll be emulating the 'tread lightly' approach of the Tagbanua and sending a strong message endorsing low-impact interaction with a 'last frontier' environment. Yes, you will experience spectacular tropical wilderness scenery, perfect paddling conditions, exhilarating snorkeling, wild primary rainforest, and golden, empty beaches. Besides kayaking and snorkeling to your heart's delight, you'll visit Coron Island, spiritual hub of the local Tagbanua people, who gather swallows' nests from the island's limestone caves. You'll also have excursions to Culion, an old-Spanish fort that was built by America as a dedicated leper colony and Calauit, a wildlife sanctuary.

Ex-Busuanga Airport or ex-Coron Port. Costings are done on a tiered cost basis after full, personalised expedition planning.
