Practical Information

Planning a trip with Organized Travel to the Philippines?
Here’s everything you need to prepare your journey with peace of mind.
Of course, I remain available if you have any questions or need specific advice.

Best Time to Visit the Philippines

The best time to travel to the Philippines is from December to May, during the dry season.
From December to February, temperatures are pleasantly mild – ideal for outdoor activities.
From March to May, it gets warmer, perfect for enjoying the beaches.

The rainy season usually starts in June and lasts until November, with heavy rainfall between July and September.

While some regions remain accessible year-round, I recommend traveling during the dry season for a more comfortable experience.

Entry Requirements

• Passport: Must be valid for at least 6 months after your arrival.

• Visa: French citizens (and many others) do not need a visa for tourist stays under 30 days.

• Return or onward ticket: May be requested upon arrival.

• Travel Insurance: Strongly recommended to cover medical expenses or cancellation

Accommodation

I carefully select accommodations that combine comfort, authenticity, and great locations.

Whether charming hotels or eco-lodges, each place is chosen to enrich your experience and encourage meaningful local connections.

Local Transportation

• All transfers are organized to maximize your comfort and immersion:

  • Private vans or scooters for local travel

  • Traditional boats to explore islands and lagoons

  • Domestic flights booked in advance for long distances

  I take care of the logistics so you can enjoy your trip stress-free.

What to Pack for the Philippines?

Here are some essentials for your trip:

• Lightweight clothes for the tropical climate

• Comfortable shoes for hiking

• Swimsuit and beach towel

• Sun protection: sunscreen, hat, sunglasses

• Mosquito repellent

• Small first-aid kit

I’ll provide a detailed list tailored to your specific itinerary.

Safety

The areas included in my tours are safe and frequently visited by travelers.
I stay in close contact with trusted local partners to ensure your safety.

As with any destination, it’s wise to follow common safety practices:
Avoid displaying valuables, stay alert in crowded places, and respect local customs.

Family Travel

The Philippines is a perfect family-friendly destination.
Activities suit all ages: beaches, snorkeling, cultural visits, and more.

I offer tailor-made tours for families, with adapted accommodations and a relaxed travel pace for children.

Additional Tips

• Health: No mandatory vaccines, but it’s advisable to be up to date with routine vaccinations. Consult your doctor before departure.

• Electricity: 220V. Plug types A, B, and C – bring an adapter.

• Currency: Philippine Peso (PHP). Credit cards are widely accepted in cities, but carry cash for rural areas.
