I Traveled Through 3 islands to Get HERE! 🇵🇭 Philippines

I Traveled Through 3 islands to Get HERE! 🇵🇭
Traveling in the Philippines can often involve planes, ferries, and multiple islands. In this video I leave Bohol, Philippines and travel through Cebu to get to my next island. Filipino travel days can be long in the Philippines but are worth it!

Take Care Sir!

[@PanamaChele7373]

Yes I am too. I am always checking if my wheelchair- motorized, can get on some of the ferry or small planes to get a Siargao beach massage. I’m studying new beach ready wheels etc. Thanks for sharing & inspiring us! Be safe!!!

[@travelescapesOFFICIAL]

@@PanamaChele7373 this plane had stairs, but Maybe another airline going to Siargao doesn't have stairs. Or There are longer ferries overnight that might go to Siargao. It depends on where you're coming from. And there are plenty of massages all around the towns if you don't make it out to that specific beach!

That’s awesome!! Definitely Check out Siargao! I’ll be giving a tour in the next few videos. Siargao is the island if you to be active. I also love siquijor if you want a chill relaxed island. and el nido if you want to do island hopping, But don’t stay in el nido town proper, stay outside the town on Corong Corong Beach. Have a good trip!

[@procheeseburger_2]

@@travelescapesOFFICIAL I’m gonna go to Panglo and also go see Siquijor. Best to fly from Manila to Tag?

[@travelescapesOFFICIAL]

@@procheeseburger_2 yep, fly from MNL to TAG. If you want to get away from the crowds on Alona beach area you can go to Doljo beach or Oceanica resort (you don’t have to be a guest to visit the beach). Anda, Bohol is a great beach town if you want quiet, but it’s a few hour drive, so you’d want to stay a couple nights if you make the drive. And it’s an Easy ferry to Siquijor!

Surigao del Norte in general is an interesting gem in the Philippines. It's definitely a nice adventure and it's MUCH cheaper than other places. Butuan is in Agusan Del Norte, not a real touristy place. But it's a cheap airport to fly into from Manila or Cebu, and you can get a ride to Surigao which has ferry service to Dinagat Islands and Siargao. Visit the area before it changes. In Surigao Del Sur you should visit Cagwait white beach, it's not very busy and it's crazy how nice it is without be despoiled by tourism.

[@JodynaSolar]

I went there 2 twice already. Siargao was a very nice beach. Our family will always go back there. People are not taking advantage of the tourist. The government told their local that they should not take advantage when it comes to prices, so the tourist will always come back.

[@travelescapesOFFICIAL]

It's such an amazing island! it might be my favorite island honestly... it's in the top 3 for sure!

[@JodynaSolar]

@travelescapesOFFICIAL its a surfing capital in the Philippines as well.

How about going to Caminguin island? From Siargao, go to Surigao city, then take a bus or any transport to Balingoan port in Misamis Oriental, then take a ferry going to Camiguin island, about 1 hour only. There a lot do do in Camiguin.

Hey Jonathan, nice video! I hope checking your bag at the airport didn't cost too much? A little tip in case you don't know already, pay for your bag online beforehand and it will save you money. And speaking of tip, that was a nice one you gave to the taxi driver in Cebu. I gave a 200 peso tip once (for great service) and the driver's response was "oh wow!" Amping! 👍

[@travelescapesOFFICIAL]

oh I actually paid for the checked bag online in advance, I was just showing that it didn't fit as a demonstration of what you could bring and saying I saw that weight limit online before, so I decided to pack two bags. Yes, that ride ended up taking a long time because of traffic, I think it was fair. Thanks for watching!
