Where we are staying

This trip will feature three bases, and all are very different accommodations. The first night will be spent in a hotel near Manilla airport. Manilla is a large (and intense) city, so we’ve kept it easy so that upon arrival you can easily meet up with the group and enjoy a first evening meal together. Our second base are traditional cottages in a nature resort (4 nights). This will be a wonderful immersive experience, we will SUP close to our accomodation and you can chill by the river during down time.

The final location is a resort-style hotel close to the centre of Coron. While this base is not by the ocean, it has an incredible pool and provides a chance for paddlers to enjoy some downtime with a cocktail in hand!

All guests have the option to choose a private room or twin share room for both accomodations.

Frequently Asked Questions

  • That’s perfect!! She SUPs trips and retreats are designed with single travellers in mind and we actually ENCOURAGE single travellers to book in alone rather than finding a friend to bring as you’re likely to get way more out of the trip. 90% of our attendees book in without knowing anyone. We guarantee that within the safe supportive environment that She SUPs cultivates, by the end of the weekend you’ll leave having had an awesome time with some new water-loving friends!

  • To make it easier to understand what’s in store for a trip, we rate our trips on a 0-4 Fitness Rating.

    This trip is a level 2 rated trip therefore: “a moderate level of fitness is required to enjoy this highly active trip. Some waterfalls and sights involve multiple steps.”

  • To make it easier to understand what’s in store for a trip, we rate our trips on a 0-4 SUP Ability Rating.

    This trip is a Level 3 - Intermediate Paddlers due to the number of consecutive days we will be paddling. Intermediate paddlers means you have experience paddling 8km, and you feel comfortable paddling for multiple days.

  • With all outdoor based trips and retreats, the final itinerary is always weather dependent (with paddle boarding in particular being wind dependent). The weather forecast will be monitored daily (and in many circumstances hourly) by your instructors, and our itinerary will be adjusted each day to make the most of the forecast. If the wind is looking challenging for our paddles we will aim to find an area that may be protected so that we can still take to the water in a safe manner, however our route and distance may be reduced. If the conditions look unsafe to paddle for the whole weekend, your Host will find alternative activities for you to do.

    We ask you to understand that we cannot offer a refund if the itinerary is different to your expectations or any itineraries referenced on the She SUPs website.

    If we need to change an activity due to the weather or other forces outside of our control, you can guarantee that our team will be working hard to ensure you still have an action-packed weekend.

  • She SUPs Trips are open to all women (and non-binary individuals) over the age of 18. Typically most guests are between the ages of 25 - 70, but there is no maximum age limit.

    When we’re out exploring on our trips, age becomes irrelevant as the whole group always bonds over their shared experiences and love of the outdoors regardless of the year they were born!

  • Info coming soon

  • Go for it! Staying on before or after a trip is always an awesome way to make the most out of visiting an area.

    Please note, the She SUPs team does not have the capacity to support you in finding accomodation before or after a trip, but you’re welcome to ask for suggestions from others in the trip WhatsApp group or even pal up with someone from the trip to share a room.

  • She SUPs aims to offer a mix of shared and private rooms on each trip.

    Many light sleepers or snorers choose to book a private room.

    We offer shared rooms as a way of making trips more affordable and accessible to all. All shared rooms feature individual beds for each individual so you will never be required to a share a bed.

    For many women, sharing a room with others is a new experience (or something they haven’t experienced since their teens!) But fear not, 9 times out of 10, it’s absolutely fine as an adult too.

    If you’re a light sleeper and sharing a room, please let us know before arrival so we are aware. You host will have ear plugs in case of snorers, and we advise that you bring anything else that may help you sleep better such as your favourite pillow, an eye mask, a heat pack, lavender oil, chamomile tea etc.

    After hosting hundreds of women on our trips, we have found that some guests don’t sleep very well on the first night as they are often subconsciously apprehensive about the weekend. But once they relax into the retreat and we’re keeping active every day, they sleep soundly every night! Please keep your host notified of your sleep patterns if you’re not getting much sleep. There will be plenty of nap opportunities during the day time too.

  • Allergies and intolerances will be passed onto our Philippines team however please note, we are entering a developing country and options may be limited.

    In the Philippines we have found Gluten Free/Celiac can be the biggest challenge to cater to, as there are often no gluten free alternatives. Vegan is not a challenge in Bohol but can be a challenge in Coron.

    We do not have control over restaurants or cafes we visit during the trip, so please inform waitstaff of your allergies and intolerances at the time of visiting.

  • We hope you do not need to cancel your trip, however, if cancellation takes place the following will apply.

    Cancellation of a booking by you must be made in writing. It is up to you to cancel your booking. We will not regard a booking as cancelled unless and until written notice is received by She SUPs.

    More than 45 days notice before the trip, there is no charge. You will receive a refund minus your $350 non-refundable deposit.

    44-20 days before the scheduled trip there is a 30% administration fee on top of your non-refundable deposit.

    19 days or less before the scheduled trip the full fee will be charged (100%).

    Please be aware that if you cancel your trip once it commences or you do not attend, you forfeit all fees.

    Late arrival may also result in a forfeited fee. We may reduce, transfer or waive the loss of fee for any reason at our sole discretion.
