Breathtaking Wild Dolphins in Bohol, Philippines | We Didn't Expect This! 😮🐬

We're up at the crack of dawn on the island of Panglao in Bohol, Philippines. It's extra early because we're looking for wild dolphins and they're most active when the sun comes up. Known as a kind of dolphin highway, they gather in large numbers here looking for food, like small tuna, and travelling between different island in the Philippines. Turns out dolphins do their own island hopping in this beautiful paradise. The competition is fierce with other boats trying to spot the dolphins first and manoeuvre for the best view but that's part of the fun. Join as we get suited up, head out on the water, and feel a rollercoaster of emotions.

Would you get up at dawn to search for wild dolphins? 🐬☀

[@ginafriend1690]

Heck, I'd go with a hangover in FL, which I did 😂 in the afternoon 😂

[@john80c]

An incredible experience would get up before dawn definitely as it is a once in a lifetime experience. Thank you for sharing with us.

[@kevinwestrom4775]

Definitely!! That looked like so much fun.

[@EileenAldis]

@@ginafriend1690 haha it's worth going *any* time 😁

[@EileenAldis]

@@john80cHi John! I agree - these kinds of moments are precious and worth going any time of day or night. 😊

[@nancyjohnson9247]

Wonderful to see you and be part of your great adventure watching the dolphins. Truly awesome to be so close. A triple wow experience.

[@EileenAldis]

haha it definitely felt like the wow tour after a while. Being that close to them, and so many, was really incredible. Glad you enjoyed it too!

[@PollyIsADog]

Looks like a ton of fun! Dolphins are such amazing animals. Thanks for taking us along :)

[@EileenAldis]

Glad you enjoyed it as much as we did! Dolphins really are incredible creatures. :)

[@lindalouwagie-neyens4692]

WOW! 😁 That was so much fun to watch you watching the dolfins! Youve got a super talent for always making us feel like we're with you. And yes, I would totally get up early to watch dolpins on yhe water!

[@EileenAldis]

Thanks so much, Linda! 🥹 I was just so moved by this whole experience, especially when it felt like we were moving in a group with the dolphins. And something about being up that early on the calm water is inspiring as well. The day is full of possibility! Part 2 is coming soon and we go snorkelling with turtles and fish...and have BBQ on the boat. Such an amazing day ❤

[@Michael_Sheldon]

What a joy! Your grateful spirit is infectious. I’m so glad you’re posting again. I’ve missed you both. 😘

[@EileenAldis]

aww thank you! I always look forward to your comments 🥰I honestly just felt so moved by this experience and being so close to the wild dolphins. The joy was palpable. We'll be posting part 2 of this magical day soon. Until then, have a lovely week 😘

[@markmccurdy8001]

This was a fun video to watch! I loved the reference to the Bill Murray film!…And the way you joked about taking your own advice about travel tips! And the DOLPHINS to be sure!! ….How thrilling to be so close to such beautiful creatures…! …It was obvious that they played on your heart strings Eileen…..Your open emotion was touching.

[@EileenAldis]

This whole experience was really moving, especially the moment where it felt like we were alone with them and the boat was going at exactly the same speed. Like we were with them in the group. Unforgettable. And I quote What About Bob quuiiiiiite a bit haha - it's one of my favourite movies! Very fitting here ;)

[@ginafriend1690]

So its the Tuna 😍 I couldnt help but think all along that it was shrimp. Yrs ago on a catamaran in FL, I hung with friends that lived there and we went out far. They knew where to take me. There were dolphins galore swimming around us. We could touch them, which was So exciting too! 🙌🐬 You surely got sun Eileen before going out, and "scruffy wet pants" Marc 😂 was having a great time too! Cheers to great times making memories, you two!❤! Please come back soon. Hugs

[@EileenAldis]

Wow, that sounds like an amazing experience you had up close in Florida! Maybe there's shrimp as well but the captain specifically mentioned the small tuna. We'll be posting part 2 of this day soon and we go snorkelling with turtles! Have a great week :)

[@RottenRonnies]

Oh WOW. What an amazing experience. This is certainly something I’d love to see. There is no emotional experience like seeing nature in action. I loved the video and am looking forward to the next one. Beautiful video, great work. ❤️

[@EileenAldis]

Thank you! And you're right - seeing nature in action is awe-inspiring and moving. I feel so grateful for the experience. And in part 2 (coming soon!) we go snorkelling and feel even closer to the fish and turtles. An amazing day!

[@ewaannah9287]

Hey my favorite YT Guys. As always, great video and landscapes. Thank you for the wonderful virtual experiences with dolphins. It was a wonderful feast for the soul. I send you many hugs and warm greetings. I look forward to your further adventures 💕💕💕

[@EileenAldis]

aww hi Ewa! I love how you put "feast for the soul" because that's a great way of summarizing this experience with the dolphins. Palpable joy. In part 2 we swim with turtles and you *know* how much we love that ;) Hope you have a great week! Hugs back 💕

[@user-hu6mn6no6h]

Awesome dolphins experience!!!👍😃

[@EileenAldis]

It truly was! I'm just so glad that we got to see so many and so close. It was a really moving experience and so joyful. Part 2 of this day on the boat is coming soon and we swim with turtles :)

[@dianat6461]

Joyous … wow … fun! I enjoy your adventures and I am looking forward to Part 2 … sea turtles!

[@EileenAldis]

Hi! Thank you 🥰 Joyous is truly the word. The joy was palpable and I felt so moved. Part 2 is on the way :) Sea turtles and BBQ and swimming...oh my! The water in the Philippines is so warm and clear. Didn't want to get out haha.

[@ginafriend1690]

Wow .. she pops up!! Nice you finally did! I'm eating so I'll watch later, but wanted to catch you with a Hi! before you didn't reply again! ☺️😉❤

[@EileenAldis]

haha I'm here!! Hi! 😂Hope you enjoy the video once you get a chance to watch! It's a fun one :) Until then...bon appetit!

[@ginafriend1690]

​@@EileenAldis Absolutely, Eileen. Bon Appétit!! 🥰

[@kevinwestrom4775]

Hello!! It looked like a great & amazing trip for you & Marc. I'd love to get the chance to see dolphins like that myself hopefully one day.

[@EileenAldis]

Hi Kevin! I'm happy to see your comment! This was an amazing day of being out on the water up close with nature. Part 2 where we go snorkelling with turtles and fish is coming soon! The water in the Philippines is just so clear and warm. I did NOT want to get out (and actually went back in after getting out because I just had to haha). Hope you have a great week and see you for part 2! :)

[@planning-A1945]

Nice experience....❤ wildlife dolphin can't seem easy not like many whale shark in cebu .

[@EileenAldis]

Hi! We haven't swam with the whale sharks in Cebu but I know it's very popular. Have you tried it?

[@michelles9897]

[@DaxXadify]

from the gardens and landscape alone i think this was from BBC Bohol Beach Club..

[@EileenAldis]

Yes! Sounds like you've been there too :) We've made a lot of videos around the Philippines if you'd like to see more by the way - they're here: bit.ly/filipinoplaylist Maybe more places you'll recognize haha

[@toobydude41]

Wow..wow...yeah, I'd be struggling for words other than that too! lol I don't blame you one bit for getting emotional either Eileen. The collision aspect would be a concern for me as well. But you asked would we rise and shine at dawn for this? Absolutely! No matter how little sleep I got lol!!

[@EileenAldis]

Hi Scott! I'm definitely not a morning person but this was such an energizing experience! Seeing the dolphins, and so close, was really moving. Being out in nature so early and feeling the spray of the water and the hum of the boat...it's unforgettable. In part 2 we swim with turtles and eat yummy BBQ they cooked on the boat :)

[@BB-yi6qn]

If you go to Manila, you must visit Makati. BGC. Ortigas center. Eastwood city and Mall of Asia area . Manila is amazing !

[@EileenAldis]

Thanks for these suggestions! We really want to visit Manila because, so far, we've only been to the airport there haha. Is Manila your favourite place in the Philippines?
