Hello everybody and welcome to another video.
We are in front of El Nido, the island of Palawan in the Philippines.
I'm about to head out on a boat tour here.
There are four different boat tours. You can take A, B, C and D.
As you can see here behind me, it's full of people.
The whole beach is full of people that are getting ready to head out on a boat tour.
So now I just have to wait for the boats.
And I paid £1,800 for this boat tour.
Here we go, finally after 40 minutes.
Are you the captain?
No, I'm your co-guide.
So, you see all these boats here.
I have to wait for all the people to fill up each boat and then our boat is to leave.
Oh, you're going to need a life jacket here.
You better have a waterproof bag like I bought last night to even make it to the boat
because the water is going to go up to your head pretty much.
You see all the people here.
Wow!
Would have been better to get on the boat from the shore somehow.
If you're too short here, it's over.
Thank you.
This one too, please.
Thank you.
Now, finally on the boat here after the adventure.
Almost all the people are on.
My waterproof bag, that was a good call to buy a waterproof bag.
When are we leaving?
Our captain is going to the coastguard in two minutes.
The captain, he left?
Where did he go?
Philippine coastguard first.
Coastguard?
Why is he speaking to the coastguard?
They are clearing the boat.
Every boat.
Every boat is going to the Philippine coastguard.
We almost have clearance here.
First of all, I would like to introduce myself.
My name is Sunny.
I am the one of your guide today.
Today the weather is good.
The sun is good with you.
This is my partner.
Partner.
He is our guide also.
Good morning.
We are here to meet our captain, Captain Gilbert.
The legendary captain here.
And we have one crew, this boat.
Finally, we were heading out of the town of El Nido in Palawan.
Going out to the nice landscapes and the blue water.
The start had been a bit slow.
But I was optimistic for the day and all the locations we were going to.
We are on the way here.
Heading up to the top deck.
It didn't take long until we had reached the incredible landscapes and clear blue water.
Despite all the people there, it was still really peaceful in such an incredible sight.
We have arrived on the first stop here.
Seven Commando Beach.
A really nice beach here with tall mountains in the background, as you can see.
As you can see here.
Full of palm trees.
So now I am looking for the boat.
But it's not here.
They said we will be leaving at 11.
It's 10.50.
Everybody is...
I don't know where the boat went.
It's not here.
It was quite hard to find the boat again.
But finally I recognized a few people and got back on.
And thought I should get to know a few people as well.
I met Liv here from Romania.
And he started his YouTube channel also from Romania.
Also now in the Philippines.
Then he is going to the Maldives.
About here.
Maybe 30 minutes and we should be there.
So we are almost to the next island here.
We have been going for like 15 minutes or so.
Clouds.
There started coming some clouds here.
But this island looks even nicer actually, as you can see.
Over here, not so much more left.
It was really cool to see all the islands.
As I had only seen them on social media before.
Just this area itself has around 1700 islands.
And the rest of the Philippines more than 7000.
All the islands are believed to have been created by colliding tectonic plates underground.
That pushed the mountains up.
And as you can see in some areas the water looks very dark.
Since it gets deep right away out from the land area.
Now they have parked the boat.
And we have to swim in the land.
This bag better be waterproof.
We have to go over there now to have lunch.
We have to swim.
So I am bringing everything.
I don't want to leave my bag here.
We made it.
I have my camera here.
They had prepared the food in advance.
And it was really good with a bunch of different kind of fish.
Rice, pasta and veggies.
What fish is this?
Tuna.
Wow.
Tuna fish.
Very good.
And chicken.
Very good lunch here.
Food is finished.
Thank you very much.
Very good.
I don't know what the next plan is.
Go out to two more places I believe.
And all the people are sitting here.
Quite a nice view as you can see.
All the mountains in the shade.
Hello friend.
He is selling beer.
I don't know where he came from.
Beer.
And this is where we have been hanging out.
But I think we are about to leave here in a little bit.
I felt really great after all that food.
Had my bag.
We swam back to the boat.
I saw a reef underneath the boat.
So I swam down.
The snorkeling was alright.
But I didn't really see any reefs.
However, I ended up finding a cave that I swam into.
A little cave there.
Sweden.
You?
Germany.
Do you speak German?
Yes.
Of course.
I can speak a little German.
We kept going to the next destination.
And these next ones would be the best.
Another massive island.
With steep cliffs.
Amazing beaches.
And outstanding scenery.
Perhaps the best landscapes I have seen anywhere in the world.
As you can see here again.
Right outside the steep cliffs.
The water gets super deep.
Next stop here.
Secret lagoon.
Should we swim there?
We gotta swim.
Look, all this distance over there.
The whole boat.
We have to go together and swim over there.
Are you ready my friend?
For the swim?
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
I'm ready.
Are you ready?
I am ready.
All the people here.
We have to just get past them.
And swim over there.
I took my snorkel again.
And started swimming over to this cave.
That a lot of people were going into.
It was like an opening in the mountain.
And a little entrance to get inside.
But as I arrived I saw the huge line.
So I thought maybe I would wait until the line was shorter.
Long line.
I think I'm good.
Too long line.
It was really cool to see these landscapes from this point of view.
And also swimming around in between the mountains.
I also got up on the beach and walked around.
And also explored some of the caves.
Incredible beach.
Wow.
So cool landscape.
Incredible.
Look.
Over here.
All the people.
The line to the cave was getting a bit smaller.
So I thought I would go over there.
But at the same time really enjoyed these cliffs.
Swimming in between them.
Now finally I decided to go over to this big opening.
And go through the mountain.
And all the crowds.
Seaweed.
Very good.
There was a small little opening to get into the other side.
But I realized I had to also wait in the line to get out.
I came after all.
Oh you gotta wait to get out too.
I will stay with you. I come after.
Out of the cave.
I had met the people from my boat.
So I cut the line and went straight out.
But still it was really cool to see the cave from the inside.
Let's get out of here.
Oh my god.
After a short swim back to the boat.
We just had one more stop for the day.
Before heading back to El Nido again.
That was quite a long journey.
I had to wait forever in that line.
And then once I got in.
There was an even longer line to get out.
So I just stayed with the people here on the boat.
Because they were by the entrance about to get out.
So I went straight out with them.
Just took a few clips in there.
And then I was out.
It's been such a long day here.
I'm starting to get hungry again.
Even though I ate so much earlier.
I think one last stop.
And then this boat tour will be over.
On the kayak.
This area was also really cool.
And the landscapes seemed so amazing.
With the perfect color schemes.
They are waiting for us.
Look how incredible this is.
Nobody is here.
How cool.
What a landscape.
The day was over.
And it had been a really amazing boat tour.
And I had seen probably the most amazing landscapes.
I've ever seen in my life.
We have arrived back in El Nido.
Not nearly as many boats now as you see.
Kind of empty.
But this is the beach here in El Nido.
We got some seafood here.
It's alive.
It's not alive.
It's alive. He was right.
I lost my shoes on this trip.
So now I'm walking barefoot here.
But it was a nice, surprisingly good trip.
Actually.
And yeah.
That made this place more worth it.
Or it made it worth it.
Without this boat trip.
This wouldn't have been so special.
But anyways. Thanks for watching this video.
Thumbs up for the video.
Post a comment. Don't forget to subscribe.
So you don't miss the next video.
See if I go to some other island.
I might do that.
Maybe take a boat to another island.
Maybe a flight. We'll see.
But thanks for watching.
And see you next time.
I'm gonna buy a chicken.
