Welcome to Ibalon

Ibalon is the ancient name of Bicol — our home, and the soul of how we travel. From the rice terraces of the north to the islands of the south, Tierra de Ibalon has guided journeys across the Philippines for 30 years.

A country this beautiful deserves a guide who treats you like family

Tierra de Ibalon was born in Naga City and grew from a simple belief — that every Filipino journey deserves genuine care. From our Bicol home we now design tours and dispatch transport across Luzon, the Visayas and Mindanao, with the hospitality our name promises: people who give visitors gifts to bring home.

Where We Travel

Bicol is our home and our specialty — but our tours and transport reach right across the archipelago. Explore by island group.

Our Bicol home, plus Palawan's lagoons and the cool highlands of the north — Banaue, Sagada, and Baguio.

Island Group White-sand beach and clear water in the Visayas

Visayas

Boracay's famous sand, Cebu and Oslob, and Bohol's Chocolate Hills and tarsiers — the heart of the islands.

Island Group Palm-lined tropical coast of Mindanao

Mindanao

Siargao's surf, Davao and Mt. Apo, and the island charm of Camiguin — the south at its most rewarding.

Tierra de Ibalon guide welcoming travellers in the Bicol Region
Rooted in Bicol

Named after the epic. Trusted across the country.

Tierra de Ibalon Travel and Tours Inc. takes its name from Ibalon — the ancient homeland of Baltog, Handiong, and Bantong, heroes of Bicol's oldest epic. We carry that spirit of hospitality far beyond our home region: into every tour we run and every vehicle we dispatch, across Luzon, the Visayas and Mindanao.

Fully accredited by the Department of Tourism, registered with the SEC, and listed on PhilGEPS, we pair genuine local knowledge with the credibility your journey deserves — wherever in the Philippines it takes you.

Our Story
Why Travel With Us

The Tierra de Ibalon difference

Officially Accredited

DOT-accredited, SEC-registered, and PhilGEPS-listed — your booking is in trusted, accountable hands.

Agency & Transport

We are both a travel agency and a tourist land transport operator — with our own fleet of air-conditioned buses, coasters, and vans, one team handles your tour and your transfers.

Airline Ticketing

Our staff book domestic and international flights — so your airfare and your ground arrangements come from the same team, in one conversation.

Bicol Roots, National Reach

Born in Bicol and still based here, we craft tours across Luzon, the Visayas and Mindanao — bringing the same local care to every island we take you to.

Genuine Hospitality

Our name means "people who give visitors gifts to bring home." That promise shapes how we treat every guest.

Trusted Since 1996

Who we travel with

Thirty years on the road has taught us how to look after every kind of group — from first-time visitors to the schools and parishes who have travelled with us for decades.

Families & Travellers

Families, couples, barkadas, and visitors discovering the Philippines — guided at a relaxed, unhurried pace.

School & Educational Tours

Safe, well-organised educational trips and field studies for schools and universities — vetted itineraries, accredited transport, and experienced coordinators.

Church & Pilgrimage Groups

Parish pilgrimages and church outings — from the Peñafrancia devotion in our home city to shrines and cathedrals across the country.

LGU, Corporate & Conventions

Local government delegations, company outings, conventions, and staff transport — handled by one DOT-accredited operator with its own fleet.

Seminars, Trainings & Team Building

Off-site programmes run end to end — venue coordination, transfers, and the logistics that keep a full agenda on schedule.

Why Travellers Trust Us

Thirty years, on the record

We would rather show you credentials you can check than adjectives about ourselves.

Accredited, Not Just Advertised

Accredited by the Department of Tourism, registered with the SEC, listed on PhilGEPS, and a NAITAS member. Every one of those is a public record you can verify.

Operating Since 1996

Thirty years moving school field trips, parish pilgrimages, LGU delegations, corporate groups and families across the Philippines — the journeys that leave no room for improvisation.

Our Own Fleet

The buses, coasters and vans are ours — owned, maintained and driven by our own people. Nothing on your booking is quietly handed to somebody else.

A Real Office You Can Walk Into

Door C-26, Central Bus Terminal, Brgy. Triangulo, Naga City. We have been at the same address for years — come in and talk to the people who will run your trip.
