Important Information
Driving License: It is legal to ride motorcycles if you have any valid international driving license, and have been in the Philippines for less than 90 days. You should have experience in riding motorcycles in various conditions, including rough roads.
Insurance: Motorbikes are third party insured, but self-inflicted accidents are not covered and it is vital that you take out adequate insurance before you travel.
Luggage: Normally riders carry the few things they need in a back pack and/or in the side bags on the bike - depending on which bike they want to ride. We find it is not necessary to take that much with you, because the hotels mostly have overnight laundry service.
