Step-by-step itinerary

Arrival and local exploration

• Transfer from meeting point to ACT- Hostel
• Visit Queen Tuna Park in General Santos City

The experience

The setup is built around independence: you stay at ACT-Hostel, a secure base where your luggage stays safe while you ride. From there, rent a fully equipped adventure motorcycle and decide each day whether to go solo or join a small guided trip. The bike comes with side cases for gear, so you can travel light and carry what you need. Airport transfer gets you from the landing to the hostel, and breakfast is included with your room for the first week: extendable to two or three weeks if you want a longer stretch.

Queen Tuna Park in General Santos City sits near the hostel and offers a coastal break between rides: a beachfront promenade along Saranggani Bay where you can watch fishermen and vendors, catch the sunset, or eat fresh tuna sashimi at nearby eateries. The park is a casual entry point to local life and a place to reset before heading out again. From the base, you can ride to nearby islands for day tours or join the popular 3-Island Loop with a guide if you want company.

The rental comes with a 10% discount on the 250cc bike for a week, 15% for two weeks, or 20% for three weeks. Guided sightseeing tours and island-hopping motorcycle tours also carry a 10% discount when you book from the hostel. If you prefer not to ride solo, the guides on staff can take you out. If you want to explore alone, the bike and the base are yours to use as you see fit.

Top questions

What languages is the tour guided in?

Live guide in English, Spanish and German.

Can I rent a motorcycle if I've never ridden one before?

The minimum age is 21 and you'll need a valid motorcycle license. The hostel staff can advise on local riding conditions and help you plan routes, but solo riding assumes you have prior experience or are comfortable learning on Mindanao roads.

What's included in the seven-day stay?

Accommodation at ACT-Hostel, breakfast each morning, airport transfer from General Santos City, and a 10% discount on the 250cc motorcycle rental for the week. Meals beyond breakfast, entry fees, and personal expenses are separate.

Can I leave my luggage at the hostel and take day trips?

Yes, that's the core idea. You store your bags safely at the base and ride out for the day, whether it's a solo exploration, a guided tour, or an island-hopping trip. You return to the same room each night.

What happens if I want to stay longer than a week?

The stay is extendable to 14 or 21 days. The motorcycle rental discount increases with longer periods: 15% for two weeks and 20% for three weeks. Breakfast continues with the extended accommodation.

What's Queen Tuna Park and why is it near the hostel?

Queen Tuna Park is a public coastal park on Saranggani Bay in General Santos City, known for its beachfront promenade, local vendors, and fresh tuna dishes. It's a short ride from the hostel and a good spot to break up your day or watch the sunset between rides.
