Culion Advent Retreat on December 6-9, 2013

Here's something that would make your year-end a meaningful one. Kawil Tours is organizing the Culion Advent Retreat on December 6-9, 2013. The retreat will be a venue for travelers to quiet down in time for the Advent season and end the year by embarking on a meaningful journey by re-connecting with one's spirituality, appreciating nature at its finest, and celebrating with a local community.

As we await CHRIST-mas, can we take time to out to remember our dreams, gifts and realities?

This 4D3N trip will offer traveler-retreatants a unique experience of spending their 1st two nights in Hotel Maya and the last on a private island. To add color to the experience, the retreat is also scheduled in time for Culion's town fiesta on December 8, 2013 in honor of the Immaculate Conception. The traveler-retreatants will have the chance to experience the fiesta by joining the mass and procession (which ends with a fluvial procession around Culion Bay) and the traditional kainang-bayan. 

Aside from retreat sessions and activities, traveler-retreatants will also have the chance to tour around Culion town proper and visit the famed Crowning Glory Reef.

All these activities combined, the trip will offer traveler-retreatants the rare opportunity of quieting down to commune with their personal divine, embrace the beauty of nature, celebrate with a blessed community, and enjoy Palawan's "sand, sea, and sun."

The retreat will be run by the Heroic Leadership Philippines, a local company that offers a comprehensive, spirituality-driven, and values-based proprietary leadership program. This program is based on the groundbreaking book of the same title by Chris Lowney and culls lessons from a 450-year old company that changed the world.

Stay not just in a retreat house but on a retreat island.

There are limited slots for the Culion Advent Retreat 2013. Because of this, reservations should be confirmed within a specific period.

As of August 8, 2013, there are >10 slots left for the trip.

Join the Culion Advent Retreat 2013 where you will stay not just in a retreat house but on a retreat island. Visit Isla Culion, a meaningful journey awaits you here!

1st Culion Voluntourism Trip

On October 18-20, 2013, Kawil Tours will be having the 1st Culion Voluntourism Trip wherein  the team of voluntourists will be traveling around the waters near Culion and its neighboring islands and collect the patches of garbage floating around. The garbs will be collected using a specialized type of net which will be attached on the Kawil boat.

The voluntourists will also have a snorkeling activity in Culion's Crowning Glory Reef, a trip to Coron Island, Malcapuya Island, and experience kawil fishing. They will be staying in Hotel Maya (Culion). Before heading back to Busuanga Airport, voluntourists may attend a Sunday morning mass in Culion's La Inmaculada Concepcion Church.

1st Culion Voluntourism Trip by Kawil Tours

The trip was conceived as part of Kawil Tours' advocacy for responsible travel and environmental conservation. During amihan season, which normally sets off towards the last quarter of the year, garbage patches float westwards in the group of islands and ends up on the eastern part of Culion. If left unattended, these garbs could lead to serious environmental problems. 

After the clean-up trip, the collected garbage will be turned over to the Local Government Unit of Culion for proper disposal. 

As of June 20, 2013, reservations for the trip have been closed. Only a limited number of slots were made available due to safety and logistical concerns. However, arrangements for groups of interested travelers are still accepted.

Details of the 2nd Culion Voluntourism Trip will be announced on September 2013.
