Solo-ish Philippines

An off-road excursion takes travellers to Avatar Gorge, a canyon whose cliffs rise steeply among dense greenery, inviting comparisons to its cinematic namesake. The journey continues to Palawan province, where the subterranean river near Puerto Princesa carves an underground passage framed by towering limestone. Finally, two days in El Nido provide snorkelling in waters where coral gardens and small fish dart just below the surface. The group stays in twin-share rooms and includes internal flights and transfers, with a pace allowing time to linger where the scenery or local life suggests.

Meals mostly come included, with a mix of local and international cuisine enjoyed communally or at discretion. This trip is clearly designed to be sociable for solo travellers while offering variety in landscapes — from urban Manila to tropical waters — with a G Adventures guide throughout.
