Impact 🌎

At INTRO our commitment to a sustainable future is a key principle, and the driving force behind our Small Change initiative, which we launched in 2017.

As part of our goal to make a real positive impact to the environment, we partnered with Eden Reforestation Projects in 2019 to plant 10 trees for every booking we received. And as a result we’ve planted tens of thousands of trees, aided reforestation, rehabilitated wildlife and reduced poverty in multiple local communities.

However we wanted to go even further and achieve true sustainability, so in late 2023 we began a new partnership with Path Net Zero to accurately measure our tours emissions, and Veritree to plant trees to offset those emissions.

We are now very proud to say that every INTRO tour is 100% carbon neutral.

Filipijnen tour 17 dagen

I really enjoyed the group tour with fantastic guides and fellow travelers. It was amazing to see beautiful places. I was quite nervous about going because I don't like boats. But the guides were very helpful when I felt nervous. I'm very grateful for that. Despite my fear, I had a wonderful time and I recommend it to everyone. I personally took the 17-day tour. You visit plenty of beautiful spots where you can swim with turtles, fish, and coral. You also do super fun activities, such as canyoning, a boat expedition, karaoke nights, and much more!

What was your funniest moment?
There was a nice young man working on our boat, and we kept calling out his name. After two days, we discovered that wasn't his name at all. That's actually our cook's name, and of course, we were laughed at.
Pros
  • Fun
  • Safety
  • Good food

17-Day - Philippines - Island Explorer - September 2025

This trip was truly one of the most beautiful, exciting, and fun experiences of my life. I can now officially say that the Philippines is my favorite destination I’ve ever visited—and so much of that is thanks to the incredible leaders and seamless organisation of the Intro Team for this trip.

Throughout the journey, I felt safe, well cared for, and constantly engaged in fun and meaningful experiences. I especially want to thank our leaders—Jeremy, Penn, Sishi, and Dan—whose energy, professionalism, and enthusiasm created the perfect balance for an unforgettable adventure. They ensured we were always enjoying ourselves, learning about the culture, and in the best of hands. I will certainly be booking in for another intro trip in the future!

What was the most nerve-racking moment and how did you overcome it?
I’ve always been terrified of heights, so the thought of canyoneering—especially the big jumps—was honestly overwhelming at first. But with the encouragement and support of the group and our leaders, I faced my fear and not only completed the experience, but also accomplished the highest jump out of everyone in my group. It was one of the most empowering moments of my life.
Pros
  • Amazing Snorkeling Spots
  • Canyonerring
  • Coron-El Nido Boat Trip

Amazing experience

I just finished my tour and it’s been absolutely amazing from beginning to end. We were really well taken care of by our group leader Andri making sure everyone was safe and seen while being a good friend along the way. He truly made the experience memorable. The itinerary was excellent and everyday was filled with something exciting. One of the best experiences of my life. 10/10 would recommend for first time solo travelers, and for an easy way to travel with guaranteed friends to hang out with.

Philippines tour 8th of March

This was an amazing tour, and I am so happy I booked it! The sights and activities was great, the people even better, and I always felt safe (much of this because of our tour leader Andri Agassi). No problem was ever to small, and he was always there for everyone. I will forever cherish the memories from this trip. I am recommending this tour to anyone who wants to travel! Although if you are vegetarian, be sure to by some extra snacks for the boat expedition, although there are veggie options, I was so happy to have a little extra!

What was your funniest moment?
It was canyoneering!
Pros
  • Amazing sights and activities
  • Team building
  • Feeling of safety
Cons
  • Could be better veggie options for the vegetarians

Philippines 2024 with IntroTravel

It was an amazing trip experience! We had such a great tour leader, Andri and it was a pleasure to have Kell as a trainee. We did a lot during the tour, and from canyoning to massages, it was all worth it! It was also nice that we got to sample the culture, but also did sporting things and did fun/ interesting activities as a group.

I would like to thank Intro Travel for this experience and Andri & Kell. It was my first solo trip and I definitely recommend Intro Travel.
Everything is arranged for you even if something goes wrong in the moment Intro Travel is very well arranged all and feedback is always welcome for them.

My only downside was that there was too little free time. It wasn't quite supposed to be that way as we had a delay a couple of times....But for next time, I would personally appreciate that more.

All in all, the trip was great and would definitely do it again, though in a different country!

What was your funniest moment?
The moments that we played the game werewolf!

So many great laughs:)
Pros
  • Lot’s of amazing people
  • Over all flexible
  • Great leaders
Cons
  • To little free time
  • Bit to small boat for the expedition…

Paradise and Friends For Life!

I have just finished my Philippines Intro Tour with Andri and can honestly say it was an experience of a lifetime.

Not only did we have two weeks in blissful paradise meeting 14 new worldwide best friends, dining on incredible food and having the best hospitality known to man by locals but also Andri as a leader was beyond incredible; the perfect balance between fun and cool, calm and collected.

He was able to make the process so smooth and accommodating, not a single one of us ever had anything to worry about. I want to put a special mention in for his attitude and kindness. As a group we bonded extremely well, so much love and respect between everyone, and Andri was a core part of that; be it lending out his incredible fins, entertaining us with his singing, making sure safety was priority on nights out, being the loveliest with locals allowing us to get to know them on a deeper level or getting a personal best in free diving (17.5m what?!🤯) and us thinking I would need to take over because he was never returning from the darkness. This man smashed it.

I have had the pleasure of doing three previous tours: Bali, Thailand and Vietnam and each tour has built its own reputation to assume the next will never be as good. This one.. was as good if not better in its own right. From canyoneering to white sand beach snorkelling, sunsets with Andri on guitar to scuba’ing shipwrecks, waterfall photo shoots to swimming with turtles 🐢 every moment was magical.

Would 1000% recommend to anybody thinking of going.
It was that good, I’ve contemplated not only returning but becoming a leader myself.

Fantastic Tour

What an amazing thirteen day tour, a brilliant itinerary packed with adventures and beautiful places. It has the perfect balance of downtime too.
We had a fantastic leader in Andri, he ensured everything ran as smoothly as possible for us every day and made the trip even better.
I would definitely recommend this tour to anyone wanting to explore the Philippines, especially to those who love the sea, snorkelling/diving and boat trips.
Intro are a fantastic company to deal with as well, helpful with any questions

Best trip ever !!

I just finished the Philippines tour and I cannot recommend it enough!!! Marek and Kyle were my leaders and they were amazing and super helpful. Everything was organised for us which made everything feel relaxed. The 3 day boat trip was a lot of fun and the food was incredible, stopping at different islands and even visiting a local school to experience the culture! I will definitely be booking more tours with intro in the future!!! Thank you Marek and Kyle for making great memories with us :)))
