Another really great video, Finn. Loving every minute of it. From the boy's incredible story in the beginning, to the unexpected beautiful cave "with a view", and the amazing drone footage, to chillin' with the kiddos in the end... You continue to put out quality content. Congratulations on your numbers going up. You will break 1000 before too long, and after that you will get really noticed and you will soar into the stars. So happy to take this ride with you all the way to the top. : )

[@FinnSnowVlogs]

Glad to share my experiences with you all !

[@floridaaguada9104]

kimlalajo wow spectacular view.Thanks for sharing your expirience in Visayas.hope you visit also Batanes island.taal volcano in batangas.

[@star00moon46]

FinnSnow hi ..next time you'll visit Philippines go to Mt.Pinatubo..

[@brianoroceo2568]

this is what i like about your channel, you don't go where most tourist will go. you discover an island only Filipino knew about basically and you open the eyes of many of your subscribers how genuinely friendly Filipino are even it is in a very remote island... good job man!

[@FinnSnowVlogs]

Hey Brian, thanks a lot! Filipinos are by far the friendliest.

The story about the kid is sad but is also inspiring... It goes to show that no matter what you are handed in life, you can still make the best of what you do have! That cave was amazing, I love that there is just a huge tree growing right there in the middle! By the way, I think the walls were sparkling because of calcite crystals. Thanks for sharing the story and your adventures!

[@FinnSnowVlogs]

You appreciate everything so much more in life when you experience these places.

[@jbtan5467]

Doug K if Finn took pictures of himself in that crystal cave, his face would be like momo! Reminiscing this place with my friends who are travelling all over the world now. Keep sharing...thank you Finn.

[@conniekoo]

You wouldn't believe this island is one of the islands badly hit by category 5 Typhoon Haiyan. The locals have been through a lot and Im glad to see the locals are back on their feet.

[@alingmacy569]

[@FinnSnowVlogs]

Welcome, cheers !

[@tracerloenan8020]

Your videos are just amazing. Leaving the tourist pathways has made this trip exciting for every one of us. Met you through Cody when he visited Iceland.I live in South Texas, U.S.Posted one of your videos as a comment to one of Cody's videos the other day to give him a preview as he will be in the Philippines soon with the Exploring Crew.

[@FinnSnowVlogs]

Tracer Loenan Thanks alot and oh that's cool with the exploring crew! Unfortunately I won't be in Philippines that time.

[@rosalieb1110]

i'm from Texas too

[@hansj.severino3256]

FinnSnow, You are a Blessing to the Philippines! I wish you Success & Happiness in Life!

[@duffpotski6861]

All that effort? That deserves more than a like on this page! That was Nat Geo stuff you just did!

[@normschannel1010]

Duff Potski agree

[@agnescurrie697]

This is what i like in your vid Finn, discovering and sharing the area that tourist are not going thru, not man made nature, like what i always say, forget the city where not real, we know the life there already.

[@inesmari09]

You deserve more subs!!! Your vlogs are simple and no drama just good quality videos!

[@FinnSnowVlogs]

Thanks!

[@carlocatacutan8948]

you are so lucky to find that cave man,,,nice video of my beloved philippines,,

[@BennLuvsYou24]

Love the rawness. These places you discover could easily become the next local movie/film location, so rustic and charming.

[@lindafaber2693]

Enjoyed watching and those kids are used of climbing, u can tell😍they’re satisfied playing outdoors not screen games❤️Proud to see themThank you, Finn❤️

[@christianlouie7098]

I really think the world should see the Philippines through your videos. It's like having a slice of life in paradise.

[@felizacamba7252]

Wow! I am so proud of my beautiful country Philippines! Thank you FinnSnow for your videos that even if i did not go to those places i honestly enjoyed all of it, thank you for sharing!

[@jhzaist6249]

Amazing ! You're one of the best drone pilots I've seen by far! I enjoyed your videos! Hope to see more of these! :D

[@iflipover]

[@khelmontalla7284]

You're not only a nature lover but Also you have a good heart.

[@ceeshaakosairbal2099]

I've watch almost of his videos, from Thailand to turkey to Jordan, Iceland. I must say Philippines has the most unique and unbelievably wonderful amazing nature wander.

[@JabirJeff]

Holy geezer, I'm watching this just now but when you made it you barely had 1000 subbies, and in a little over a year you have 170k subbies, that is so awesome

[@FinnSnowVlogs]

[@rosalinalaurentetatnell4465]

Jabir Kalid yes and now he’s reaching 300T😍

[@Rackhaels03]

Watching your videos for the first time... it made me really proud that i was born and raise here in the phils.. and it made me want to trouble and see this beautiful natures in person... cause i myself is a nature lover... and it also make me proud that a foreigner like you appreciate our country and the locals hospitality and a friendly smile they gave you... keep on exploring our country @finnsnow... there is a lot of hidden gems here in the phils... esp. in northern part of the phils..

[@altondr]

awesome.....i enjoy your clip...nice exploring a really hidden gem.

[@cluelessaimless]

I like your vlogs- you have a heart for the environment and Filipino people… and sentimental too!

[@paulpadua7608]

Hey Finn, I like your videos coz you made it not from a touristy perspective. It reflects a very personal view of the cities you visited in the Philippines which is what tourists should expect.

[@ivymccall]

Hi.. im your new subscriber,i can see you have a good heart for the people and how your interact to them.. from cebu philippines

[@FinnSnowVlogs]

Hey Welcome Ivy

[@annielyn498]

Super like this video.👍👍👍 Those kids are hunting spiders for spider fighting... Typical Filipino kid leisure... Used to do that when I was kid... Enjoy isla gigantes which literally means island of the giants...🌴🌴🌴🌞

[@FinnSnowVlogs]

Spiders scare me so that was very surprising to see the kids playing with them :)

[@irishnillas2488]

wow !!! finnsnow. . thank you for sharing ur adventure to us. . and the cave. ...but most of as Filipino don't know that cave. ... thank you so much 😊 take care always 😇😇

[@terpsichore2431]

Your channel is in every way THE next-level travel vlog. Not glamorized, not edited to look visually appealing all the time, just keeping it real. And it's a breath of fresh air from all the other travel vlogs i see in youtube. Your content is honest, raw and beautiful. I love how you somehow give us a taste of local culture without so much of a foreigner bias. Just like one commenter said, it's like watching NatGeo. I'm a big fan already. Keep it up.

[@RT-sx5xe]

gigantes has the sweetest scallops :) great vid. thanks for showing another side of gigantes. safe travels!

[@marjeltrexie7643]

Nice footage bro..thanks for touring us even just in videos...😊 i'm a new subcriber...keep it up and take care always.

[@khebbz]

another phenomenal video finn. great capture with super nature at its level best.. so insanely beautiful.... what i also like about all of ur vlogs finn is.. there's a heart in it...u really fit in with the locals.. kip it comin'...

[@katrinacarlabanta5125]

Man.. First time in my life that I subscribe and follow every video of you at my beloved country. I'm getting more addicted to watch every episode of you, more than the'' walking dead'' I hope one day you'll become a tourist ambassador at my country and thanks a lot for promoting The PHILIPPINES. All the best

[@gregthompson9069]

beautiful thank you for sharing the videos love it so much it's like being there too exploring

[@ellenbulay5918]

finnsnow..Thank you for climbing to the top,,your sweat and effort give us the best view .I'm so amazed and Finn we Filipino appreciate you on promoting the beauty of our country and the people too.

[@yhannadelaurentiz9602]

You have been a wonderful guest... love and kisses from the philippines thanks for appreciating simple life...

[@noe-san7796]

I've been there last 2017 ..its a great and amazing place. .stalagmites so beautiful and the island views

[@lettielotho-chiok7589]

Amazing finds--the hidden cave w/ beautiful stalaclites and the beauty of Gigantes Island. Very nice drone shots! So grateful, Finn, for showcasing different beautiful places of the Philippine islands--on land, bodies of water, underwater world--and, of course, our local folks. You're such an adorable human being! Keep safe always

[@duffpotski6861]

Oh and Finn, those kids are gonna make those spiders fight. Try and ask the locals if you could watch a spider fight. It's a pretty unique sight to see.

[@chenie0103]

Thank you for loving our country Finn.. 🙂😉

[@samuelagomez6065]

It's a pleasure to have you Finn exploring our wonderful islands especially the not so popular ones yet. It's a big exposure on the net of these paradise. You should have brought with you your friends next time (the ones having same passion as yours...) especially your lover. But I think you are still looking for one and your lovely tour guide seems to like you, haven't you noticed??? hehehe... you're a good looking guy whom Filipinas would like to marry. So explore more of the Philippines and settle for good here when you are already serious of having a family of your own. I know it will still be that later for you are still at the prime of your life,. Americans usually settle when they are already retired and tired. I will be following your adventures and we might accidentally meet in one of the many tourist places here in the Philippines. Have more fun Finn...

[@MrCherieke]

Wow ! nice video kuya , glad that ive found your channel . keep going and enjoy philipinnes ! ill be going back to my second home but first love too this september 😃

[@zonyagarcia1858]

Thanks for filming awesome videos. You brought me all over philippines. Im a filipino but i've never been enywhere..

[@unggoyboy3485]

You’re probably the first Viking to set foot on those caves Finn, earned yourself a spot in the halls of Valhalla.

[@lightrose100]

Philippines is where you feel real joy not happiness, happiness is having new things it wears out in a couple of months

[@wilfdepaz8539]

thanks for visiting in Philippines bro,,WELCOME..

[@ButacuPpucatuB]

Truly a unique cave! Most that I have explored are so dark and difficult to stand in. Exploration has it's nice surprises as well. I really like the hilltop you showed us!

[@joban7851]

Beautiful view, thanks for sharing👍🏼

[@girlgala5079]

new subscriber here, love your videos, planning to go gigantes in July, hope no rain. :) I was laughing on that hiking part.😂😂 out of breath.

[@escapethink]

Really great editing/synch of drums with the video at 10:57. The blades of the drone showed up by mistake in some of the footage? Great also of you to share the stories of the locals.

[@FinnSnowVlogs]

The wind was too great for it not to show up and cutting the frame wasn't a option.. Unfortunately.. But yeah I try avoid that as much as I can :) Cheers Escape

[@escapethink]

Ah I understand now, didn't know about the wind. I can't wait to get a dji myself. Salamat (thank you) Finn!

[@FinnSnowVlogs]

EscapeThink Salamat!

[@josephinerocque5743]

nice place, wow thank you for sharing your video.

[@aurorasarmiento5742]

that cave is awesome Finn, and thanks once again Finn for sharing this vlog to us....the boys are incredible...that's what they are....

[@jorjasolamillo]

beautiful work!! just subbed.. thank you for visiting the Philippines!

[@dalebarr]

Great shots mate! Hope to see more like this. Kudos!

[@kathleenresentes8887]

WoW!!! u made it finn!!! super enjoy!!! v. nice place..

[@stevenlester2606]

This brought back to my mind the hike you took with your Uncle back in Iceland and I was, at first, going to suggest that you do a handstand the way that he did at the top, but then I saw how much you were suffering, so I decided to give you a pass instead. I was thinking that that cave might have been at one time a deep well like one would find in Mexico before the land rose into the heights.

[@FinnSnowVlogs]

Exactly, I think the cave was underwater at one point, that's how the rock formations were carved out.

[@maayongaga729]

Steven Lester Hi I hope you do more exploring in our islands. I went to Guimaras group of islands and yes there were many caves there too. The roofs of the caves have fossils of plants, dishes and other creatures from the ocean. Long ago our islands were probably submerged under water. Thanks for Finn' s adventure.

[@teddygirlbrown5289]

Glad to know you'd been to Australia doing hiking .. Wonder where in Oz ..? thanks

[@misscomment8025]

Thank you Finn for bringing us where we could not have a chance to see or explore. You are extremely awesome with a genuine heart. Sending lots of love to you!😃

[@elviralopez496]

Wow!awesome,you explored almost the south in Phils.I enjoy watching your vedios,God bless you more i'm Filipino but never been where you 'd been to!so keep iup your good work(charity funds).

[@tinanacional5882]

I love your. Adventurous Trip

[@Forest24gump]

just so beautiful!!

[@eriane7138]

No!!! please do not touch them :( it makes me cry, those are stalactites and stalagmites. It takes a minimum of 1,000 years to 190,000 years to be able to form 1. Touching them would just stop them from growing :(

[@anghelacarba6954]

hi handsome Finn your so amazing and awesome. try to visit mt.apo and Davao God bless you Finn your such a good person**

[@iasanbautista4702]

i suggest going up mt. Apo in Davao. it has one of the nicest views

[@jbtan5467]

Wow! It's getting more people. In 1993 it wasn't. It's a very beautiful place for adventure. I really like this place. Thanks for sharing, Finn. Be safe..

Beautiful country and beautiful people . The kids are so cute and happy . Love your drone footage also . Any problems taking it or using it in any of the beautiful places you have visited ? . Thanks for sharing , looking forward to more .

[@FinnSnowVlogs]

No problem taking or using it, actually better in open environment and less electronics around for better signal.

[@alphaomega6365]

My new favourite travel vlogger. Thanks Finn.

[@jamieson9673]

Hilarious pick nickname Pin.😁 I remember during my childhood rhyme we were singing.😂😂 Well, have fun in the Philippines.

[@PieceofAmr]

Every vlog you post is better than the other one 👍

[@FinnSnowVlogs]

Learning more from each one! Thanks

[@MyTuron]

I hope when tourist go there they wont destroy it.. better left untouched than to loose them for tourist profit.. palawan reefs are destroyed already..

[@charmz3363]

Hi Finn! Those white thing you saw inside the cave are mineral formation called stalactites and stalagmites. They should not be touched because skin oils can alter the surface tension where the mineral water clings or flows, thus affecting the growth of the formation. Oils and dirt from human contact can also stain the formation and change its color permanently. I hope the community in that island are aware of the significance of this cave coz it has to be protected. Saw one of these in Puerto Princesa when we did spelunking at Ugong Rock Adventures. The guide told us that those very bright, sparkling thing is an indication that the stalactite is a live one, and touching it is strictly prohibited. Amazing video by the way! Keep it up. Looking forward for more. Subscribed! :)
