About us

It didn't start as a business plan

It started with curiosity, kindness and a love for people. Travel taught us that the trips worth remembering are less about where you go than who you share them with.

Our story

Strangers first, then friends

  1. On the road

    What started with backpacking, volunteering and meeting people along the way slowly grew into a community. Shared meals, island trips and spontaneous adventures brought strangers together and turned them into friends.

  2. Thailand

    Before any of this had a name, Dulce spent years living in Thailand and exploring it.

  3. Back in Cebu

    Home again, we made a space where locals, expats and solo travellers all felt welcome. No labels, no pressure, just open invitations to explore and enjoy island life. Weekend trips became traditions, and word spread through the people who came on them.

  4. Today

    Encouraged by that growing circle, we turned what we loved into something more. We plan people-centred trips built on trust, connection and community, from Bantayan Island to the rest of the Philippines.

Guests arrive as travellers and leave as part of the story.

Who you'll talk to

Dulce runs Leon Island Tours from Santa Fe on Bantayan Island and confirms every booking herself. On the day you're with our small crew of guides, boatmen and cooks, many of them born and raised on the islands you're visiting.

What we promise

Trust, connection, community

Three things that have stayed true since those first weekend trips.

Trust

Dulce answers and confirms every booking herself. No call centre, no auto-responder, no third-party agency. Ask her anything before you book.

Connection

Our guides know the routes by feel, the families that run the beachside kitchens and the quiet spots past the usual stops. You meet the islands through the people who live there.

Community

Join a shared trip on your own and you travel with a small group of locals, expats and solo travellers. That is how strangers became friends in the first place.
