๐Ÿ’ธ 3D2N Leyte & Samar Travel Expenses for 4 Pax | Budget Breakdown & Tips

๐Ÿ“ How Much Did We Spend? Here’s Our Actual 3D2N Budget for Leyte & Samar ๐Ÿ›ถ

On my first visit to Leyte, we got lucky — my friend’s dad acted as our driver and guide, so expenses were minimal. But on my second visit, I had to plan everything from scratch — from the van rentals to the food and hotel bookings.

This time, I brought three friends along and became the designated “tour lead.” For transparency (and in case it helps you plan), here’s our actual 3D2N expenses, broken down by day and category.

๐Ÿ’ก Tip: Prices are based on a trip for 4 people in 2013. Adjust for inflation and seasonal rates, especially for hotel and transport!
