Group holidays Philippines

Shared adventures, secret islands and friendships that last forever

Experience authentic travel in the Philippines, guided by those who call these islands home. Join small group holidays led by local crews who know every current and hidden cove. Travel slow, connect deeply and see the islands through their eyes.

Expeditions

Tao Philippines’ remote island expeditions are journeys to the edge of the map, taking guests to untouched stretches of northern Palawan. Aboard traditional bangkas, you’ll weave through turquoise channels, snorkel over thriving reefs and sleep under the stars in off-grid bamboo basecamps. We take small groups up to six aboard all of our regular expeditions.

Sailing trips

We also take small groups of six on our paraw. This ship can hold up to 30 guests, a mix of singles, couples and small groups of friends or family. Each expedition is guided by local islander crew who share their way of life through food, stories and adventure. It’s travel stripped back to what matters: connection, discovery and the quiet magic of being far from everything, yet made to feel completely at home by our special brand of hospitality.

Get off-grid

This is a group holiday in the Philippines that will linger long in your collective memories, a shared adventure where the journey matters as much as the destination. Sail together through turquoise seas, discovering hidden coves and deserted beaches, before getting completely off-grid at our remote island basecamps.​

ABOUT US

Included highlights

Stay in Tao’s off-grid bamboo basecamps, hidden in coves, jungles and island communities. Sleep in our hand-crafted Tuka huts, their bird-beak curves designed for shade, breeze, and connection to nature.

The Lost Boys are your island-born crew. Sailors, cooks, and storytellers who bring the Tao journey to life. Born of the islands, they guide with laughter, skill, and soul, turning every voyage into the adventure of a lifetime. 

We’re passionate about food, serving native fruits and vegetables from our farm, freshly caught seafood and occasionally home-reared pork. Served family-style on sharing plates. Big on flavour, Filipino food is soulful, generous, and seasonal.

Dive in! Jump overboard to snorkel vibrant coral reefs, swim to secluded beaches, or relax on deck with a book. The Tao Experience is a social gathering, but there’s always space to step back, disconnect and find your own rhythm.

Experience the healing touch of Tao’s island massage, offered by women from our Foundation, using coconut oil pressed at our farm. Simple, soulful, and scented with sea air (and coconut, of course).

Meet the scholars and communities we support! From classrooms to coastlines, we invest in people: teaching skills, nurturing confidence, and building futures rooted in island life.

Explore 250km of remote islands with like-minded others. We can get you away from the crowds in the islands of West Busuanga, Linapacan and Daracouton Bay on a boat to call your own. Bliss!

  1. I fully understand and acknowledge that together with the adventure and remote Island expedition experience that TAO Lostboys Inc. is offering there are concomitant risks and dangers that exists during an expedition such as allergies, dehydration, inclement weather, rough seas that might result to sea sickness, and other allied risks. Despite the above enumerated circumstances, TAO Lostboys Inc. trained its staff to respond and mitigate the risks by laying out risk mitigating procedures to ensure that the health and safety of their guests are taken care of.
  2. I fully understand that my participation in the activities lead and facilitated by TAO Lostboys Inc. or any of its affiliates and subsidiaries may result in injuries due to circumstances beyond the control of the TAO Lostboys Inc. and its affiliates considering the nature of the trip.
  3. I fully understand that at times of inclement weather the Philippine Coast Guard or any other competent government agencies may issue gale and no sail warning. I fully understand that this is beyond the control of TAO Lostboys and that I subscribe to the policy and guidelines of TAO Lostboys Inc. regarding cancellation of trips knowing that such cancellation will be done to my best interest and safety.
  4. I fully understand that these risks and dangers may arise from foreseeable or unforeseeable causes and by my participation in the expedition and/or use of their facilities I hereby assume all risks and dangers and all responsibility for any losses and/or damages arising from circumstances beyond the control of the Company and other unforeseen sources.
 

With and in consideration of the foregoing risks and danger, I, on behalf of myself, my personal representatives and my heirs, hereby voluntarily agree to release, waive, discharge, hold harmless TAO Lostboys Inc. and its owners, agents, officers, employees, its affiliates and subsidiaries, from any and all claims, actions or losses, for bodily injury, property damage, wrongful death, loss of services or otherwise which may arise out of my participation in the expedition or by my stay in their facilities.

Except for those gross misconduct directly and solely causing the claims and/or losses, I specifically understand that I am releasing, discharging, and waiving any claims or actions that I may have present or in the future for the negligent acts or other conduct by the owners, agents, officers, employees, subsidiaries or affiliates of TAO Lostboys Inc.

AS FULLY EXPLAINED IN A LANGUAGE KNOWN TO ME, I HAVE READ AND UNDERSTOOD THE ABOVE WAIVER AND RELEASE AND, BY SIGNING IT, I WILLINGLY, VOLUNTARILY AND WITH FULL KNOWLEDGE OF MY RIGHTS UNDER THE LAW, AGREE THAT IT IS MY INTENTION TO EXEMPT AND RELIEVE TAO LOST BOYS INC., ITS OWNERS, AGENTS, OFFICERS, EMPLOYEES, AND ITS AFFILIATES AND SUBSIDIARIES FROM LIABILITY FOR PERSONAL INJURY, PROPERTY DAMAGE, OR WRONGFUL DEATH CAUSED BY NEGLIGENCE OR ANY OTHER CAUSE.”

Data Privacy

The Data Privacy Act of 2012 (“Act” or “DPA”) or Republic Act No. 10173, which took effect on 8 September 2012, is the governing law on data privacy matters in the Philippines.

In 2022, two bills (House Bill No. 892 and House Bill No. 898) were filed in the House of Representatives of the Philippines, seeking to amend the DPA. The proposed amendments under House Bill No. 892 broadly include:

  • Increasing the penalties (both the period of imprisonment and monetary fines) for violations of the DPA; and
  • Providing for perpetual absolute disqualification as a penalty for a public official or employee who violates provisions of the DPA.
    On the other hand, the proposed amendments under House Bill No. 898 broadly include:
  • Defining biometric and genetic data.
  • Expanding the exclusions on the applicability of the DPA.
  • Redefining “sensitive personal information” to include biometric and genetic data, and labor affiliation. Clarifying the extraterritorial application of the DPA by specifying clear instances when the processing of personal data of Philippine citizens and / or residents is concerned.
  • Defining the digital age of consent to process personal information as more than fifteen (15) years, applicable where information society services are provided and offered directly to a child.
  • Including the performance of a contract as a new criterion of the lawful basis for processing of sensitive personal information.
  • Allowing Personal Information Controllers (“PIC”) outside of the Philippines to authorize Personal Information Processors (“PIP”) or any other third party in the country, in writing, to report data breaches to the National Privacy Commission (“NPC”) on behalf of the PIC.
  • Modifying criminal penalties under the DPA, giving the proper courts the option to impose either imprisonment or fine upon its sound judgment.
 

The said bill remains pending before the Philippine House of Representatives.

A further bill was filed in 2022 and is pending before the Philippine Senate (Senate No. 1367) likewise seeking to amend the DPA. Specifically, the bill seeks to exclude the applicability of the DPA to personal information and sensitive personal information that are necessary to address a health crisis during a period of a declared national emergency or pandemic.

Given the rigorous process of passing a law in the Philippines there are no indications that any of these pending bills will be passed into law within the next 12 months.
