Je pars du 25 Janvier (oui, très bientôt) au 20 Février. Ce qui me laisse un peu de temps mais pas trop.
J'ai bien fouillé les différentes discussions sur les Philippines à travers ce forum, d'ailleurs merci à tout ceux qui m'ont déjà bien aidé à préparer ce voyage. Mais il me manque une réponse...
Est-il possible de rejoindre Coron depuis Puerto Galera en bateau en faisant escale à Apo Reef ?
Il n'y a à priori pas de liaisons "ferry" qui offre cette possibilité mais en combinant de sortie plongée pour Apo Reef, peut-être que cela doit pouvoir se faire.
Je pensais par exemple à un départ de Puerto Galera pour 2 plongées dans la matinée à Apo Reef. Puis relax plage l'après-midi. Nuit sur place (tente ou autre). Puis encore 2 plongées dans la matinée avant de rentrer avec un "bateau-croisière-plongée" à Coron
Après être allé me balader dans les rizières au nord de Manille sur plus ou moins 4 jours, j'envisage de rejoindre Palawan et Puerto princesa en une quinzaine de jours. Suite à cela, un petit vol jusqu'à Tagbilaran (Bohol), profiter des 2 ou 3 sites de plongées dans le coin et éventuellement remonter jusqu'à Malapascua si il reste un peu de temps :)
Salut
P Galera vers Coron via Apo reef par ferry, cela parait guère possible
par contre joindre le Mindoro occid vers Sablayan ou Pandan isl pour faire des sorties vers A reef, ça se fait
le staff plongée de Pandan isl propose des prestations.
Bien que Apo reef soit un parc naturel protégé, il semble que l'on puisse dormir momentanément sur la plage de Apo isl, sous tente ???
des gens viennent sur place depuis Coron pour plonger, effectivement peut être possibilité de rejoindre Coron avec eux.
A voir sur place, en espérant un bon timing.

Oui, c'est exactement ce que j'ai en tête. A voir. Il y a il me semble quelques centres de plongées sur Apo Reef. Merci ! Pour la tente, oui, j'ai lu que c'était possible et ça ne doit pas être désagréable :)
un centre de plongée sur Apo Reef, j'ai des doutes
par contre, un phare, j une station de Rangers, oui😉
mais sur Sablayan existe un Apo Reef Club
on peut aussi se renseigner sur des sorties au tourisme office de Sablayan qui gère le site.

Salut
apo reef est un banc de sable, seul les plongeurs y vont
partir de PG pour apo à la journée est une vue de l'esprit sauf à se faire 6 ou 7h de mer aller et retour, Mindoro est une grande ile et pas de ferry PG coron via Apo
soit tu le fais en live aboard,
soit tu le fais en Bangka de coron (3h),
soit tu le fais en Bangka de san juan ou pandan sur la cote ouest de mindoro (3h)
Le "Apo reef club" de san juan possède un speed boat qui diminue la durée de mer
il te faudrait plutôt scinder
2 jours sur PG où il y a de belles plongées dans la baie ou verde island
et ensuite viser apo de coron ou de mindoro
n'oublie pas de penser que tes déplacements d'un point à un autre sont chronophages entre les vitesses de déplacements et temps d'attente
Exemple de Cebu à malapascua tu as quasi 4h de route puis une bonne demi heure de bateau
salut Searil,
il parait que maintenant des prestations sont proposées pour passer la nuit sous tentes sur la seule île véritable, Apo Isls, et snorkeling possible bien que cela n' atteint pas la qualitée obtenue par la plongée.
Dans l'idée nous ferons 2 jours à Puerto Galera, plongées dans la baie et verde island comme tu me le conseilles Searil. Puis ensuite nous traverserons en Jeepney ou autre l'île afin de nous rendre du côté de Sablayan. Et nous aimerions booker une journée plongée sur Apo reef sans avoir à faire le retour sur Mindoro étant donné que la suite du voyage doit nous emmener sur Coron puis Palawan ensuite. Nous essaierons de nous faire accepter à bord d'une bangka ou autre speed boat faisant le retour jusqu'à Coron le soir-même ou le lendemain, peu importe même si l'idée de passer la nuit sur la plage me plaît bien. Si cela n'est pas possible, alors nous reviendrons sur Mindoro et de là, prendrons un ferry pour Coron en direct. Je ferais un CR à mon retour.
Doud2, tu as le nom d'un centre de plongée qui organise ce genre de prestation (nuit sous tente sur l'île d'Apo) ?
pour la nuitée, prend des renseignements auprès du Sablayan Ecotorisme office, quand tu y seras, il existe aussi un site facebook.
pour les plongées voir les clubs sur Pandan Isl ou sur Mindoro même.
je n'en sais pas plus.
Tu peux toujours demander à ce centre de plongée : http://www.divecal.com/SafarisFS.htm
s'ils peuvent accessoirement te ramener sur Coron (moyennant finances , j'imagine ... )
Bonjour Nathanael
As tu fais un post sur ton circuit Apo Reef, Coron ?
je pars aux Phils le mois prochain et voudrais descendre vers Puerto Galera puis rejoindre Sablayan par la route (faut il prendre un bangka pour rejoindre Abra de Ilog ou des jeepneys le permettent ??)
de Sablayan, je pensais aller faire un saut sur Apo Reef pour du snorkeling (est ce que ca vaut le coup ? je ne plonge plus avec bouteille)
puis revenir sur Mindoro pour aller à San José et de la aller passer qques jours sur Coron et revenir a Mindoro pour aller sur Panay depuis Roxas (Caticlan), Boracay, Iles Romblon, Masbates ....
depuis Puerto Galera vers Abra, bateau seulement: bangkas de Carribean sea transport depuis Balatero port 2 fois/jour, voir sur place, compte une heure
Apo reef attire les plongeurs mais quelques personnes y vont pour le snorkel
joli circuit Boracay vers Masbate via Carabao, Tablas, Romblon... j' ai quelques adresses si cela te tente
bonne prépa
B
Salut Doud
Merci pour ta réponse
je suis preneur d'adresses sur les iles Romblon, Masbates, mais aussi Ticao,
Pour ce deuxième séjour (50 jours) je me suis fait un circuit qui pourrait celui listé .
Par ailleurs, le pote qui me rejoint en février est un passionné de pêche au gros, connais tu des coins sur mon itinéraire ou on pourrait pratiquer cette pêche ou embarquer avec un pécheur pour des sorties mer
A l'heure actuelle, je n'ai pas programmé de descendre jusqu'à Camiguin mais qui sait ? sur place , il est rare que l'on respecte un itinéraire construit derrière son ordi. Il est si facile, une fois sur place d'acheter un billet d'avion
Bon "bout d'an "

hello
A Puerto Galera, nous aimions bien le coin de Talipanan et Aninuan, du côté du Mountain Beach resort et de chez Luca's, superbe restaurant italien
de Roxas/Mindoro vers Caticlan, ce sont des roros plusieurs fois par jour, nuit et jour
de Caticlan, bangka pour Looc/Tablas et pour Lanas/Carabao le matin
un aéroport sur Tablas
Romblon est très plaisant avec 3 petites îles au large, les trois Maries ou Tres Marias
Ticao, nous avions apprécié cet endroit peu visité, peu d'hébergement
Donsol, un bon souvenir
comme Catandanues, assez éloigné
Caramoan, nous avions trouvé ça difficile d' accès et en cul de sac, la mer peut y être forte sur la côte est
je te laisse qques coordonnées en message privé

Hi everyone,
I’m looking for addresses for guesthouses or, even better, houseboats or rafting houses on the River Kwai, between Kanchanaburi and Sangkhlaburi, to spend a few weeks contemplating this beautiful river.
Thanks for your suggestions!

Hi there,
we’re currently in Mai Chau and tomorrow we’re hitting the road back to Hanoi to head up toward Bac Ha and Sapa.
We haven’t really had a set plan since we arrived—we’ve already done the Halong Bay on land and by sea.
I’ve got 2 free days before heading to Bac Ha and Sapa.
Any tips?
Thanks, and looking forward to hearing from you.
Hi fellow travelers,
First trip to Vietnam.
We’ll be arriving in Ho Chi Minh City during Tet.
Is it complicated to find accommodation and get around during this period?
Any tips would be welcome.
Thanks for your replies.
Silly question—backpack or hard-shell suitcase for the Sepilok, Kinabatangan, Tioman, KL trip?
I’m struggling to fit all my son’s and my stuff into the 70L backpack... and I’m thinking a suitcase would be easier, but I’m not sure if it’ll work for getting around.
Hi there,
I didn’t plan to return to Thailand this year, but my health conditions mean it’ll be the best place for me to stay between two trips to India. The tourism setup there is so well-organized that it’s the most "comfortable" country for a short visit. Thailand feels too sanitized for my taste, and there’s too much religion, Buddha, and the King, but it’s still the best option given how my health has been evolving. I’d considered two weeks in ThaTon for hiking, but I got too sick from the burn-offs during my trips to the mountains around Chiang Rai. So I’m not sure where to go this year. Definitely not the sea, touristy spots, or the mountains with burn-offs...
Hello.
In 1996, we crossed Vietnam from Saigon to Hanoi by motorbike—Minsk bikes we bought in Saigon. I haven’t been back since, and it seems like a lot has changed.
- We’re heading to the south (well, the north and center) with the family in July-August (3 people).
- Is the road network more developed now? Back then, there was only National Route 1 from south to north. I’m thinking of renting a car this time (no motorbike with the family—though in ’96, they had a Jawa sidecar for sale, and we hesitated… maybe it’s for the best).
- Is Halong Bay really something to avoid because of overtourism? Even back then, it was pretty crowded. Is there a less touristy alternative?
- We’ll be traveling from Hanoi down to Danang (the only city we didn’t stop in back in ’96). Even though it’s a bit overhyped in a Chinese-tourist kind of way (from what I’ve read), we’re only going for the beach—pure relaxation for 7 days. The beaches are stunning, and I know the South China Sea is warm like coffee.
- Then, we’ll visit Hoi An, where I stopped in ’96. It was already popular with backpackers back then, but no glowing boats or all the touristy fuss!
- After that, Hue, where I have great memories—it’s a beautiful city.
- And also the nature around Ninh Binh, followed by 2-3 days in Hanoi.
That’s the plan. I’d love to hear any tips to avoid mass tourism, and if anyone’s done this before:
- Is it possible to rent a car in Danang and drop it off in Hanoi?
Hey everyone,
I’m over in East Borneo in mid-July.
I’m struggling to wrap up the end of my itinerary, even though it’s pretty straightforward (long but simple).
Last year, we did Malaysia (KL and the mainland + around Kuching).
Day 1 – Arrive in Kota Kinabalu early, stroll around town and hit the must-sees.
Day 2 – Excursion to Tunku Abdul Rahman Park, snorkeling at 3 islands.
Day 3 – Hike around Mount Kinabalu without summiting (450 per person, no way).
Day 4 – Poring Hot Springs + evening flight to Sandakan.
Day 5-6-7 – Kinabatangan River (still looking for the right guide).
Day 8 – Sepilok for the orangutans, the Sun Bear Centre, and Rainforest Discovery Centre.
Day 9 – Selingan, turtle island.
Day 10 – Head to Semporna.
Day 11-12-13-14 – Sipadan, Mabul, Kapalai.
Day 15 – Bohey Dulang.
Day 16 to Day 25: I’M STUCK.
I looked into Danum Valley, but for 3 days/2 nights, they’re quoting 650 € per person—come on, that’s ridiculous.
I checked out a detour into Indonesia (still East Borneo), but I’m having trouble deciding what would be amazing.
I read about Sangalaki + Kakaban (2 islands, 1 base) / Mahakam Delta - Kutai (orangutans and river) / Sungai Boh (Dayak Kayan) – jungle & culture.
But honestly, I’m struggling to finalize this itinerary.
If we venture that way, we’d head back to KK from Balikpapan.
For a 4-month stay in Egypt, I had ENORMOUS problems. The regulations are very bureaucratic and extremely nitpicky there. For a 4-month stay in the Philippines, I was wondering if the procedures are just as complicated? I’m bringing my cell phone with an eSIM. Should I choose a plan from Canada for use in the Philippines, or should I get a plan only once I arrive? After 30 days, do I renew with the Canadian provider I chose before leaving, or do I switch to a local company? Do I need to register my phone with the authorities in the Philippines? (That was the case in Egypt.) For the 3rd and 4th months, will it be just as simple—renewing with a Canadian or local provider—or should I expect problems?
Hello,
I’ll be in Malaysia with my wife, mainly in Langkawi and Penang for Christmas and New Year’s at the end of 2026.
If you’ve had the experience—and since I’ve read (though it’s not very clear) that these two islands get quite crowded during this period—would you recommend booking accommodation well in advance, or is it easy to find something on the spot?
Hotels or Airbnb?
Do you have any great tips for accommodation or any practical info to share?
We’ll be staying 5 to 7 days on each island.
Thanks in advance for your replies
Hi there. To make the most of Lake Toba, is it better to find accommodation on the lake’s shores (which one?) or on Samosir Island? Thanks for your tips!
Hi there,
We’re heading to Vietnam as a family on July 8th for a little over 3 weeks (north and center). We’ve only booked the first 3 nights in Hanoi, and nothing else after that. We like to decide things on the spot and go with the flow, without rushing everywhere. But I’m still a bit unsure: when heading down to the center (Hue), is it better to book the overnight trains in advance? We don’t want to take any flights while we’re there—just use the overnight train for the long trips. But I’m worried we won’t get seats if we buy the tickets on the spot, say, 2 days before. What do the experts here think? And which website can we use to book the tickets? Thanks in advance for your tips!
Hi everyone!
I’m heading back to Thailand in July 2026 with a stopover in Cambodia to visit the Angkor site.
After Angkor, I’ve booked a stay on Ko Chang island. Does anyone know if there are direct transport options from Cambodia to Ko Chang without having to go back through Bangkok? That would be amazing!!
I think there are, but I’d need more details!!
I went to Thailand in February 2025 and don’t remember having to apply for a visa—is that still the case now? And for Cambodia too?
Thanks so much!!!

I’d love to get some feedback on our itinerary—it’s probably pretty basic! This is our second trip to Asia and our first to Indonesia. We have three kids aged 20, 18, and 12. We land in Jakarta at 4 PM, spend 3 nights/2 days there, then take the train to Yogyakarta for 3 nights/2 days, followed by the train to Surabaya for 2 nights/1 day, then the train to Bromo for 1 day/1 night, a private driver to Ijen for 2 nights/2 days, then on to Bali (Ubud) for 4 nights/3 days, followed by Gili Air for 3 nights/2 days, Senggigi (Lombok) for 2 nights, and finally 5 nights in Kuta. I’m considering cutting the 2 nights in Senggigi to just keep Kuta and extend it to 7 nights. In Lombok, I’m not sure how to get around since I’m not comfortable with scooters... Your thoughts on all of this, and any advice, are more than welcome—don’t hesitate!
For those wondering why cities like Jakarta and Surabaya: we don’t often get the chance to visit big Asian cities, so we wanted to include that discovery in our trip. The trains between Jakarta and Yogyakarta, Surabaya and Probolinggo are booked. The return flight from Lombok to Jakarta is also set. Accommodations are booked but flexible (same for the trains).
Hi,
After our trip to China, we want to spend a week in the Philippines for some beach time and snorkeling.
We're looking for the best spot to settle in—nice beaches, great marine life, and short transfer times.
Thanks for your suggestions!
Does anyone know of a private transfer or taxi company that organizes transfers from the Sukhothai area to Chiang Mai?
Our routes are Sukhothai-Lampang, Lampang-Chom Thong, and Chom Thong-Chiang Mai.
My searches on Google Maps, 12Go, and others haven’t turned up much...
For our Bangkok-Sukhothai trips, I use a company I’ve already tried, but they don’t have a fleet available from Sukhothai and have to go through third-party companies—which, understandably, take their commission. This nearly doubles the prices...
There are four of us, and we’re not traveling light, so a minibus isn’t an option. ;-)
Hello,
While traveling in Thailand, I’m looking for a Buddhist kumlai reed bracelet.
Does anyone know where I can find one?
In Bangkok, I visited a few temples but didn’t see any in the nearby shops.
If you have any ideas, I’d love to hear them! Have a great day! :-)
My trip’s coming up, and I’m having a bit of trouble with three bus/minivan routes. Usually, I find everything at this time of year, but this time—yikes!
Sandakan → Sepilok:
No app for this one—you just hop on bus #14 at the local terminal (pay cash on board). But where do I catch it, and where’s the stop??
Sandakan → Semporna:
From what I’ve heard, it’s the Sida Express company (great name, right? 😄).
Can’t book online, but apparently, you *have* to because there’s only one bus at 8 AM.
Where do I board, and where does it drop me off?
Semporna → Tawau:
Found this via AI—is it legit?
No online booking, as far as I can tell.
Minivans leave from a stop in the Jalan Hospital area, near the Milimewa supermarket, supposedly????
And when you arrive, does it drop you at **Sabindo Square** in Tawau?????
Hi there,
we’ll be in Mai Chau in June and we’re thinking of heading to Sapa, but first spending a few days in Bac Ha to do some hiking and explore the area.
Is this a good idea for those who’ve been there?
How do you get there?
Thanks for your feedback.
Looking forward to hearing from you.
Cédric.
Hi everyone. As I’m planning my trip for next winter, I’m looking for hotel suggestions in Camotes, Bantayan, Malapascua, Bohol, and Siquijor. The ones I had in mind seem to be fully booked (unless it’s too early?). For those familiar with the area, is it easy to find accommodations on the spot in January/February? I’m specifically looking for hotels with a pool, beachfront, air conditioning, and easy scooter rental nearby. Thanks for your tips!
Hi there,
I’m planning an itinerary and would love some feedback on whether it’s doable and if the number of days per destination is enough—or too much. I was also debating whether to add an extra night on an island or spend an extra night in Kampot to visit Kep or Battambang.

March 25: Phnom Penh
March 26: Depart for Kampot
March 27: Kampot
March 28: Depart for Battambang

Hi there,
Yesterday in the Thailand section, 100% of the new threads were just about beach destinations 😕...
So here’s the counterattack in the form of this photo thread, dedicated solely to the countryside: the locals, their livestock, fields, farms, rice paddies, small rivers, and agricultural machinery. If you’ve got any pictures that fit these categories, feel free to add them!
Comments welcome.
For each photo, I’ll (or you can) indicate the area where it was taken.
Hope you're all doing well! It's been a while since I last traveled, but I'm finally heading out again soon!
For those familiar with SOUTHEAST ASIA, I'm planning to leave in mid-June (with the trip ending at the latest in November), and I don’t have a precise idea of exact places or itineraries yet. The thing is, this period is usually the rainy season...
Any advice? I was thinking of Malaysia or Indonesia, like Sulawesi, for example (all countries and islands in Southeast Asia interest me except Bali).
Any recommendations? I’m doing my research online, but if anyone here has the time and knowledge, I’d love to hear from you.
My partner and I are planning a trip to Indonesia in September-October 2026. It’ll be our first time in Asia, and we’re thinking of hitting the classic spots in East Java and Bali, then wrapping up with a cruise around Komodo for some snorkeling/diving. Here’s a rough draft of our itinerary—I’m wondering if it’s doable.
20/09: Flight from Jakarta to Yogyakarta, arrive around noon, afternoon/evening and overnight in Yogyakarta.
21/09: Borobudur
22/09: Prambanan
23/09: Travel to Bromo (Cemoro Lawang)
24/09: Bromo
25/09: Kawa Ijen

07/10: Komodo cruise, flight to Denpasar in the late afternoon/evening or overnight in Labuan Bajo.
08/10: Flight to Denpasar (if not taken the day before), afternoon in Jimbaran, overnight near Denpasar
09/10: 10:00 AM flight Denpasar - SIN, overnight in Singapore
10/10: Flight SIN-YQB
Hi everyone,
My girlfriend and I booked our tickets with Saudia Airlines for a trip to Thailand this summer, from July 5th to August 3rd. Given the geopolitical situation in the Middle East, we’re keeping a close eye on the news.
I was wondering if anyone here is in the same situation as us?
• Have you heard anything about possible mass cancellations or if the airline is still maintaining its routes to Asia?
• Are there any travelers who’ve recently returned who could tell us if air corridors have been changed (longer flight times)?
The idea is to know what to expect so we can prepare as best as possible. Thanks for your replies! !
Thanks for all your contributions on the forum—they’ve really helped me plan my trip. There are four of us friends heading to Sulawesi for 20 days. Based on all your advice, I’ve put together the following itinerary:
July 30: Makassar – sightseeing
July 31: Makassar – sightseeing + overnight bus to Rantepao
August 1–7: Tana Toraja with a guide
August 7: Tana Toraja to Tentena + visit Tentena
August 8: Early departure with a private driver to Ampana, then ferry to the Togian Islands
August 9–15: Togian Islands (2 different resorts)
August 15: Depart Togian Islands for Luwuk
August 16: Flight Luwuk to Makassar
August 17: Rammang Rammang
August 18: Stroll in Makassar, then return home
Overall, what do you think?
I also have a question about the connection between Tentena and the Togian Islands: Is it doable to leave early in the morning as planned and still be sure not to miss the ferry?
Hi everyone,
I’m currently working on a 30-day itinerary for May/June 2027.
10 days in eastern Java (Malang, Bromo, waterfalls, Meru Beriti Park, Banyuwangi, and Ijen), a short transit in Ubud for a few days, then Flores before heading back to Jakarta.
We’ll spend 15 days in Flores (the classic route: Moni, Bajawa, Riung, Ruteng, ending in Labuan Bajo).
I’d love some firsthand feedback on flights to Maumere or Ende from Bali Denpasar. I know there are no direct routes and that you have to connect through Labuan Bajo or Timor (I think), which isn’t an issue in itself.
But I’ve read here and there that flights to these destinations can be delayed—or worse, canceled—and that it’s better to fly in and out of Labuan Bajo, which isn’t exactly ideal...
Thanks for any tips or experiences you can share!
