The crystal turquoise water, powdery white sand, sand bars, starfishes, trees,coconut trees and even the clouds they're all complementing each other. Balabac is a definition of paradise.

I’ve been to Philippines most famous beaches and Islands like Boracay and El Nido and yes those are incredible places but seeing this unspoiled Islands are just amazing. Not touristy islands are still the best in my opinion. You are lucky to experience those islands. Well I forgot we have 7k plus islands so that’s not so surprising. 🙂

I have been to Maldives. It is beautiful but small, limited, and not so much to do. Plus, not worth the large amount of moolah spent. I am planning to go in the Philippines next month with my family. Exciting!

Boracay before when there were no buildings is so beautiful. I got to enjoy that way back in the early 90's. It just got so abused now with so many infrastructures.

You guys make awesome beach and island videos. I've never seen such clear blue and green water, uninhibited in many ways. Philippines does offer the best beaches, and I think better than the Caribbean. I've been going there for years, Jamaica, Bahamas, Puerto Rico and even Aruba. But, the best from what I've seen are the Philippines island beaches.

Mindanao and Visayas boasts on beautiful beaches, white sands and deep blue waters while we have also white sand and beautiful beaches in Luzon but when you go deeper in Isabela and Cagayan or Abra, you can find unexpected beauty of deep Caves and beautiful waterfalls & even big rivers that connects to the Pacific Ocean🤷♀️ And when you go farther you will see the peaceful land of Batanes, like you’re dreaming you’re somewhere in Europe but actually in Asia.

This is the true Maldives of the Philippines but hard to reach due to far southern location, nearer to Malaysia...very secluded island but astonishing, never imagined that there's an island in the Philippines competing with Maldives level, hoping for the locals to take care of this island unlike what happened in Boracay...

My mom's family lives in Brgy. Sayab in the town of Bataraza, the last town before the town of Balabac. They have a farm up the hills and another house by the shore (on the side of Palawan that face the east). Last time I was there was 3 decades ago. One time, my uncle brought me along to visit his friend who lives on the west side. It took us half of the day to go to the west side and another half to go back. And all you can see along the way are coconut trees, endless rows of coconut trees. I'm afraid that in the next 2-3 years, that southern tip of Palawan will start to undergo rapid change. I hope it doesn't become overrun by tourists like what happened to El Nido in the last 10 years (I've been to El Nido 2011 and 2017).

Not the cocky KZbinrs who go and travel off of others' money, but making it by yourself and earning it and also not afraid to visit remote places or different accomodations, or on a tight budget, that's when the real payoff happens and you really get the feel of the culture (as if you don't already know😂). I know I've said this multiple times but you both are so inspirational and so amazing. Just the other day I bought my ticket to Jakarta, Indonesia and will be all around SE Asia for a few weeks starting in late September I also am buying an action camera to film my journey. I can't thank you guys enough! Along with Gordon Ramsay and Coldplay, you guys are my favorite folks from the UK hands down, no doubt!🇬🇧. Stay well and travel safe you guys😁
