Siargao Island, Philippines - Overnight Travel Guide

[@carlasbubble]

Real talk. This is the BEST-est travel vlog I've ever watched. Aside from showcasing how astounding Siargao is, I love how Erwan encourages the viewers to protect the island from unsustainable tourism, becoming a messy tourist destination, and to preserve its laid-back vibe. Because that’s the most important thing, and Siargao should be treated like that, as well as all the remaining untouched places. Been there three times and I always want to go back. Someday, I’m gonna build a home in that island and surf its waves for the rest of my life, and when that time comes I hope it remains pristine. Loving every second of this video. Kudos, team ;)

[@featrmedia]

awesome thanks for watching

[@thelx10]

Yung mas magaling pa si Erwan sa graphic content, cinematography at narrating kesa sa Philippine television haha...galing mo super like!

[@chincamposano6283]

I do agree na it's magaling, but do not generalized all the travel documentaries on TV cos there are surely so many great ones out there, too. If your only source is ABS-CBN then most likely totoo yan. But there are shows like Trippies from CNN Philippines, The Crawl from Lifestyle Channel, even GMA News TV's Biyahe ni Drew, the latter though caters to the ordinary Filipinos (especially budget conscious ones) and I think Drew Arellano is one of the best out there since he's been doing it (before everybody) for a long time.

[@sirsober1718]

May team siya. Erwan is a company, Fat kid inside. A lot of people is moving to make this videos work. Mas maganda ng dito nalang siya sa youtube, may mas creative freedom sila kesa pag under na sa isang corporation, maraming kailangang i please na tao.

[@featrmedia]

NOTIF SQUAD!!

[@brianarozainebautista4159]

the best so far! 🎉 so lit 💥

CLICKED SO FAST!

[@hillarylazaro5107]

ERWAN + THE DASO FAM!!!!

[@montessaescalante9689]

once u start watching erwans videos, u'l end up watchin all day like me.

[@moninaraaging9342]

That's for sure. ♥️ Binge watching for awhile now! 🥂

[@iyahgumawang5884]

I do too, I almost forgot watching TV anymore. 🙃

[@m.delululu]

True po hahaha

[@michelledaba9383]

So trueeeee😊

[@sarahvirtudazo]

Sooooo true

[@joyceadns7900]

erwan's voice and the way the scenes were shot is truly MIND BLOWING!😍

[@tinvalencia5034]

Love it when you said that "the strength of the nation is the people". You appreciate it.

[@finefrenzy9567]

Overnight in Osaka was my favorite, how it was filmed, edited, the VO, the writing - your spiels, you singing, i love every bit of it! BUT THIS!!! OVERNIGHT IN SIARGAO IS ON A TOTALLY DIFFERENT LEVEL!!! I LOOOVE IT! Probably a bit biased coz its Philippines but really, amazing content, filming, editing (thumbs up to you and the whole sea biscuit team), gaaahd your writing skills blows me away. always. always. "Time is regular, quantifiable, linear, forward moving, universal and eternal. It is as familiar as the shadow, always there around you, never dictating your moves but acting as a constant companion should you need someone to lean on." "The feeling of beeing engulf in something bigger, more important than you is intoxicating. I know it can be overwhelming, so just look forward and rely on what youve learned, your failures, everything is falling into place, it all comes down to you and the waves." and of course you singing is always a plus! Excited for what 2017 holds for you! ps. peanut butter with jam or just peanut butter? 😂

[@Wil_Dasovich]

Beautifully written my friend and cinematography on point as always. Whens our next trip? haha

[@andrianglennagnas4895]

Wil Dasovich (Tsong and Tsonggo) i agree. very nice cinematography. 👌

He makes better vlogs than you Wil. lol

[@dropshippingmillennialsessions]

He makes better vlogs yes! Just look at Erwan's team!!!👍👍

[@eiflo6985]

I must say his videos are of quality.

[@weesylology]

Erwan, if you have written this yourself then I cannot imagine what your vows will sound like! This video is breathtakingly amazing. Thank you for sharing. Also, best wishes. x

[@darlenenikkii]

Thanks for showcasing the beauty of the Philippines! This country needs more people like you. You guys did a great job!

[@krish9184]

hi ate darlene! hahaha

[@phellinamontealegre9547]

i love how erwan just grab the lechon with his bare hands !! so down to earth!! love his personality!!

[@cesbaylon08]

i just came back last week from siargao from my honeymoon and stayed at bravo as well.. me and my husband fell inlove with siargao.We promised each other that we will always return to siargao. You're narration is great about our country God bless you Erwan !

[@babygirlloco]

this is so poetic!!! love this! you should have your own travel show on TV 💛❤️💚💙💕

[@featrmedia]

Virginia85 haha thanks! Would you watch it on TV though? Online is so much better.

[@babygirlloco]

OF COURSE! you're awesome!

[@dukeliwanen]

Erwan Heussaff true. I don't watch TV. VG editing, good research. everything is nice.

[@aliveandlovely6260]

Beautifully storied... Romantic, enticing and deeply retrospective of my dynamic birthplace. Brought me to tears. We do need to visit with my Son who LOVES his Filipino heritage!

[@julg3498]

This is probably the best travel vlog of the Philippines I've ever seen! The content, music, visuals, message everything are just mind blowing!

[@grace.aquino]

This was not only well-written but also well-edited! You've done Siargao real justice! I loved the real island vibe that exuded in this video! Your cover of the "Wonderful World" is merely an icing on the cake! I thoroughly enjoyed this vlog and you guys outdid yourselves yet again!

[@featrmedia]

i hope so!

[@grace.aquino]

Erwan Heussaff can't wait for the next Overnight!

[@drebbits]

Thanks for this episode. It feels like a premium show in KZbin and the songs are amazing.

[@maricormacaraig6089]

I legit cried how immaculate your video became when you talked about the concept of time with that cinematography and videography.

[@8sherwin8]

This video is genuinely created, authentic and not just focused about the beauty of the island itself, it's full of emotions and sensations. Bravo Erwan and your team!! We will be in Siargao this Feb can't wait! Keep it up pare koy!!

[@imac0vvv]

I'm from Cebu but has been in Canada since 1989. It's great how wonderful and amazing you've showcased the country and the people in this video. You're a great story teller and writer; and you can sing too. Although I've lived life more here than there, I'm always proud of the beauty and warmth of the Philippines and the Filipinos. Great job you did here. This video was done beautifully. Looking forward to more like this.

[@GDSTX]

Amazing - video - narration was totally On Point!! I have not seen anything so well done on KZbin as this was ! 5*

[@justrandom7649]

I can't believe it has been 3 years since i first watch this video, nothing has change it feels the same as thr first time i saw this. Beautiful! I consider you a modern hero of our country, the message the you spread with the quality that you do it, its just amazing.

[@daffoodilemma]

This has got to be my favorite overnight episode. So much substance! Way to go erwan!

[@kayedeang4928]

i love watching travel+food videos of Bourdain, Andrew Zimmern, Mark Wiens, etc and my new fave Erwan and the seabiscuit team...but this just hits the spot, being Filipino and living in the US. By the end of the video I was a little emotional, happy and definitely proud! Great job guys!!! :)

[@mariannecruz1516]

Well done! It's very different compared to the others. I guess the Philippines just needed something deeper rather than simply showing its beauty. Plus, Erwan singing at the end??!? What can Erwan not do?

[@featrmedia]

for sure

[@zeasamudio7048]

Marianne Cruz ok cant wait to get to that part lol

[@Jelly-sk2ry]

This video is not ur typical travel vlog. Erwan gave LIFE to the place. Erwan did not just present what people can get our of visiting but encouraged people to also GIVE to the place. Wow.

[@tiismuna]

You are right sir Erwan.. The Philippines should be like the aura of siargao.. If we were not conquered i think the Philippines is chillest place like our provinces.. Hehe

[@ichanichanl1927]

tiismuna thats my home town hehehe

[@006411411]

Happiness in a video 👌🏻 Love how Overnight is getting so much better as a show. The elements are progressive every single time. I thought Overnight HK was too high of a bar to top but this one definitely breaks the ceiling of pure content bliss. Having Wil on this episode disrupted the almost serene tone of the video, like the ones you had on the past episodes around Asia but that bit of chaos and energy somehow added a different dimension to the character of this series. Massive credits to the whole Overnight team. Y'all stay grand!

[@darosa5741]

Outstanding! I was just telling my wife that it's been awhile since I've seen a long-running video on Siargao Island. It's such an amazing place. Erwin, next time you visit Siargao please stop by our little resort in Brgy Alegria. We haven't opened up the entrance yet from the highway so nobody knows we're there. We'll be fully operational by next summer. I don't want to plug the resort here so I won't mentioned it... Send me a message if you want more information... Salamat Karajaw for the great video!

[@sophiaxponce_]

While scrolling the comment section I have found this. Brgy. Alegria was really on my list to go since it is popularly mentioned in Jonaxx Stories and I know there is a lot of great resorts there. Sir, hope you drop your resort, we would love to discover and visit it.

[@minziebobadilla1756]

Makes me want to go home, and visit Siargao for sure! I've been working here in Maldives, and visited different kinds of resort but for me Philippines is much better than Maldives. Thank you for doing this blog

[@danicaxoxo27]

Another beautiful video Erwan.. This is a very good way to help us filipinos realize the value of our country. I love that this video doesnt only shows the beauty of Siargao but it also educates us viewers the importance of taking good care of our natural resources. Congrats to you and to your production team! God bless!!

[@featrmedia]

i appreciate that!

[@travels129]

danica philippines friendliest place in all of asia my opinion

[@iamcezquijada]

i dunno what to say your overnight to siargao is everything.. breathtaking view, awesome crowd, less populated islands.... this is just amazing!!!!

[@elenjoymartinez2761]

This should be a replacement for Rated K in this generation. Hahaha 😅

[@ericorillana7975]

I agree with you .

[@andrewrufo6007]

agreed. if i have a public tranportation i would put an lcd monitor and play documentaries like this.

[@artventures24]

ok naman si kmjs. haha

[@arq.5306]

Watching Overnight Siargao made me feel very nostalgic. I am someone who also loves the sea and the province so much and this video brought back all the memories I had when I was little - playing with the waves all afternoon and just savoring the peace and quiet that the country side has to offer. I don't know how this team successfully surpasses every Overnight episode they make. Each new episode just keeps becoming better and better. Erwan's fervent and elaborate writing makes you feel as if you were really there with him. It lets you experience each and every sensation he had while being in the place. Nicky and Sarry's powerful shots give your eyes a sensational feast. It will leave you breathless and hungry for more. I will never run out of praises for the overnight series. This is something that I really look forward to and the main reason I visit youtube. This series inspired me to travel, to stop being stagnant and to experience the beautiful world that I am in. Another job well done guys!

[@featrmedia]

thanks Ann!

[@irx62]

Love the narration in this. Specially how you described that feeling that siargao gives you. I have such a hard time translating the same feelings into words, i can only close my eyes and have that rush. But you, described it so well.

[@pearlaton]

I've been to Siargao and indeed the island will never fail to make you fall in love! Words and photos don't do justice! The locals treat you like a family even if they just met you

[@liveinthemoment7301]

to erwan, im a big fan of yours... all i can say its beautiful how you describe our filipino culture , our food lechon & the sacred siargao. btw i love your voice. you should sing more often 👍👌

[@featrmedia]

thanks!!!!

[@linwoods476]

I have watched hundreds of travel vlogs, preparing for each trip I take ..... I can say by far, this one was the best I have seen for being (as it is for my travels, as well) ground level, real, immersed in the people and true essence of this country. Well done, very well done!

[@jerkbud]

I dunno why but this episode seem to make me smile, cry and generally just inspired. thanks to all of you guys. this is one heck of an Overnight episode!!! 😁😍😘

[@featrmedia]

amazing thank you

[@jampakpnoy23]

Yooo this episode hit me hard! As a Filipino American, not only does this video make me proud of our people, but im hopeful of how we can thrive in the future as well. Thank you for another genius episode! I cannot wait to be back in the motherland in January!! Much love from Cali!

[@lifewithmarah]

This is beautiful! By far the best Overnight episode I've watched! Well done, Mr Heussaff! Hope to see more of the Philippines in Overnight! :)

[@luvusafilipina]

Your presentation of how we Filipinos are so resilient to the many adversities we endure everyday is very well appreciated!

[@louisesalac4134]

There are a lot of beautiful places here in the Philippines that most people do not know or they're not familiar with. I hope tourists who visit Siargao will maintain the cleanliness and peace. This is so inspiring! Love your own country.

[@featrmedia]

definitely!

[@Ebb1993isawesome]

Excellent work Erwan I'm Fil-Am living in Nj by far your best work very informative. Siargao is calling me . Want to move back well back forth between U.S. And Philippines.. you guys inspire me thanks for showing real Philippines.

[@PolicarpioNicole]

BACK AT IT AGAIN!!! Was waiting for this

[@Maria-ow7ib]

This is definitely worth the wait. Your poetic and eloquent words, the editing, your companions... it's all beautiful. This is a work of art. I loved the Overnight in Fukuoka, and now this! You outdid yourself! Can't wait for the next episodes 💕

[@jeffreysanjuanthefoodie1087]

Your best work yet! Great job with the whole media crew.

[@subhramajhi1006]

Very beautifully written ! Especially between 9:30 and 11:30, when Erwan talks about time. Well done!!

[@kristinegdc14]

So deep. I love the narrations. Good job, everything in this video is beautiful. ❤️

[@jerkbud]

I watched this again after reading numerous bad news online about our country. this video always reminds me why I am still lucky to be living in the Philippines.

[@loub295]

Hi Erwan Good to see you back! First of all congrats for both of you you"ll getting married soon... It's really nice watching your all videos... The back ground music very relaxing and also seeing you eating different kinds of food and I really feel hungry. Hehehe. Well, anyway hope you don't stop to upload videos all your traveling experience around the world. Thanks alot for sharing to us your experience in your life. Keep it up and good luck wish you all the best.

[@jonah4358]

This vlog is so nice. Doesn't just feature the place, it recommends the best restaurants as well. It will always be part of a good travel.

[@rm_alfaro]

Wow, this episode is very well written & produced! Great job Erwan & your team! You just made me fall in love with the Philippines & our people all the more!!! This is truly a very powerful & compelling episode that you've made. Hats off to you man! And I didn't know you can sing better than Anne, haha! :-)

[@katphisH11]

It's really eye-opening how romanticized this island is on the video. I'm from there, and even though I don't live there I've always taken it for granted when I go back once a year to visit my family. For me it became the "default" of how I see my home country, but I never knew that the general vibe of this place is not so common.

[@ninurta11]

Wow!!! Very high quality production. Nice....

[@thebrideandievents]

This Dude is a cinematography genius.. Been binge Watching Erwan Vlogs Since Anne's baby bump announcement... I know you'll be a great dad... Soon your little one may get to see this. Amazing content... Kudos!

[@michellezhen]

Erwan you can sing!!!?? I'm very impressed.

[@randomreviews17]

I think I have watched your overnights several times but every now and then I go back and play it again and again. I thought you should know that your show is amazing! The quality and context is international and even so ---discovery, national geographic, netflix! I can't get enough! Sell it to netflix! Please keep making more! Sending you some ❤️from NY, Erwan!

[@grabaya2790]

best vlog Erwan...love your definition of time!

[@titatita3896]

We live in an illusion. Money, buildings, expensive cars, social status, everything to extend the self. The reality is that we depend on nature, always. We are one world. Thanks Erwan for this heart melting vid!

[@zeasamudio7048]

I've always loved the Huessaffs. Very chill 😘 of course the Dasovichesss

[@crossmoore5325]

[@ruedalit2442]

How do you guys do it!? You literally pulled every strings of emotions in this vid haha. Apart from it being an awesome Siargao Travel Vlog, the messages the you wanted to convey was simply inspirational and educational. I just hope that the sustainable practices continue not just in Siargao but throughout the PH. Keep up the good work, and again kudos to you and the team.

It all started after watching this video, the urge to travel alone to Siargao, I've been planning my trip since February and now its finally time to go. Thank you so much for this video, Thank you for inspiring me to travel.

[@bethlim1586]

I just started watching your vlog Erwan and I got fascinated! It is not not as noisy as the others, perhaps your persolality reflects in you piece of work. I do love the " documentary " thing about Siargao except for the rap music - i am too old for rap i guess. All in all it was fantastic! Great job!

Out of the 7,107 islands here in the Philippines yet I never left Luzon. One day! One day I'll travel to Siargao Island alone with my ukulele and make lots of friend. Thank you Erwan for such an inspiring travel vlog.

[@jessieegos1249]

lamig ng boses👍🏼

[@GraceVillarino]

I resonate with your words about time, the now, and those fleeting moments that eventually just becomes a memory. Those memories that becomes part of who we are which are invisible yet so powerful. It shapes us, brings us to tears, and makes us burst with joy. I'm carried away by own memories triggered by these moving pictures and musical accompaniment. Life is beautiful but sometimes I forget it.

[@mardz5010]

Hi Erwan, I love all your videos however this video is my most favorite. I even cried sa OFW na part. The rap song, so true.. is the song made for this video? Someday I will go to Siargao..

[@gbspins]

I've just been looking for it online, can't find. Any info would be lurrrrrrrrved

Glad that you finally featured our country. Also, I loved that you did not only feature our Siargao/Cebu but Filipinos too! I don't travel by watching your videos I felt like I've been to those locations myself. Would start travelling by 2017. You are an inspiration Erwann. Keep it up, man.

[@vkpee3348]

Love the history book recommendations. Those two are pretty much the standard, most transparent versions out there.

The best travel vlog that I have seen about the Philippines. The way you narrate the background history and the words you said are captivating and eloquent.

[@moiralee3403]

The most awaited first episode of overnight-Philippines, and as expected it's beautifully filmed and eloquently written. A good mix of travel, food and a bit of history. 👍🏼👍🏼

[@featrmedia]

[@karlapajadura422]

Im speechless. This is the best one so far. So beautiful. The words that you use to describe the island, the filipinos and the whole nation hits through the heart. I love how you showed the culture of the island. Thank you for featuring Ruby Ibarra! Grabe, ang ganda lang. Thank you Erwan for putting out this kind of content. You and your team are GENIUSES!

[@shannend.c.2553]

I just love Erwan's voice, and his words full of inspiration and wisdom. Def. One of the reasons why I always find myself anticipating his videos.

[@anilov0324]

I like the snippets about the concept of time, Filipinos, and moving forward. I remember you did something similar in Overnight Hong Kong (as Pleasure Island) and Fukuoka (storm). Love it. This is good TV.

[@engrjaypolloloco]

Now, I'm missing Cebu after watching this. I was there last year. I should be back there. This is awesome, Erwan!
