Looking for someone to join you for beach in Manila? Phriend is where you hire a verified local by the hour for swimming, snorkeling and surfing and more. Manila is the capital, from Intramuros and Binondo to Ermita, Malate and the Bay area, and a Phriend who lives there knows where to go, what it costs and how to get around.

What a Beach Phriend does

A Beach Phriend is a local who does this for real: swimming, snorkeling, surfing, beach volleyball and sunset walk. Each profile lists the services they offer with a price per hour or per session, the languages they speak, their non-negotiables and their weekly availability, so you know what you are booking before you send the request.

How a booking works

  1. Browse the profiles below or open the full list in the app. Filter by city, language, age and rate, and read the reviews left by other members.
  2. Sign in and verify your ID (it takes about two minutes), then message the Phriend. Say what you have in mind, when, and where you want to meet.
  3. Send a booking request with the date, start time, number of hours and a public meeting place. The Phriend accepts or declines, and it goes into your calendar.
  4. Meet in public. Hand over 50% in cash when you arrive and the rest after. Then leave a review so the next member knows what to expect.

What it costs

Phriends for beach in Manila currently charge ₱300 to ₱1,500 per hour, depending on the activity and the city. The rate is per hour of company; food, tickets and fares are on you unless a service says otherwise. Phriend does not take a cut, so the rate you see is what the Phriend keeps.

Staying safe

Every member is ID-verified, meetups happen in public places only, and the chat keeps the record of what was agreed. If someone shows up with people who were not agreed in the chat, do not proceed: leave and report. Never pay more than half upfront, and only to the account the Phriend shared in the chat.
