Up Close with Sea Turtles in the Philippines

We're snorkelling with stunning sea turtles at Balicasag Island in the Philippines. This small island near Bohol and Panglao is an excellent place for getting up close with wildlife and coral. The water is the clearest blue and as warm as bathwater. Sea turtles are such graceful, gentle creatures and being near them makes the whole world slow down. The crew on our boat cooks a delicious BBQ of Filipino food, including meat and fish cooked on skewers, fish soup, noodles, and rice. For dessert it's fresh, juicy watermelon. We also try a drink called Four Seasons, which is very popular in the Philippines. Join us for this magical day experiencing nature in all its glory. 🇵🇭

Which snorkel area would YOU go to first: sea turtles or fish and coral? Let us know! 🐢🐠

[@john80c]

Great video. My choice would be sea turtles-wonderful animals so unique.. Then a nice barbecue afterw

[@ewaannah9287]

Omg, decision, decisions. Everything looks absolutely amazing and breathtaking but my favorite will be see turtles 🐢.

[@EileenAldis]

@@ewaannah9287 It's true that there is no wrong answer here. 😆

[@lindalouwagie-neyens4692]

Dolphins and sea turtles in one day! Plus the gorgeous water, the smaller colourful fish and coral...The Philippines seems like heaven to me! I can imagine how extra delicious the already delicious barbeque was after a morning in the water. Thanks for bringing us along with you again!

[@EileenAldis]

Can you believe it?! A day with not just wild dolphins but sea turtles TOO?? Had to pinch ourselves. And, yes, the Philippines is a bright blue, watery heaven 😍 The water is so warm and inviting. It's the best feeling to eat after you've worked up an appetite, isn't it? And we definitely got back in to snorkel more after lunch... ❤️

[@RottenRonnies]

Wow, that was such an amazing adventure. The Sea Turtles were absolutely stunning. What a beautiful place to visit. Thanks for yet another beautiful video. ❤

[@EileenAldis]

Thank you 🙏The sea turtles make the whole world slow down with how graceful they are - feels like magic when you see one! 💕

[@PollyIsADog]

The turtles are beautiful…what a dream! Such a beautiful place. I want to do it all! The coral was really cool too. Think I’m going to go find some five alive now :) great video!

[@EileenAldis]

Thank you! 😄haha yeah is Five Alive still around? I haven't looked for it for YEARS but loved it as a kid. The sea turtles are a highlight but this whole day was amazing (including the dolphins in part 1!).

[@otaviovieira1041]

What a paradise!!!😍

[@EileenAldis]

SUCH a paradise! I can't get over how clear and warm the water is. That blue colour is the stuff dreams are made of 💙

[@Michael_Sheldon]

When in doubt, always sea turtles. 🐢 Your camera work on this video is so beautiful, underwater and drone, but that gorgeous aqua blue water! Just wow. 😘

[@EileenAldis]

Thank you! We really wanted to capture the natural beauty and feeling created by being in such clear blue waters. 🥰 I agree regarding sea turtles by the way. Any chance I have to see them I will take. They're so graceful.

[@dianat6461]

Great fun! I love the sea turtles so graceful!! Love your videos/travels 🐢🪸🐠

[@EileenAldis]

Thank you! 🥰 The sea turtles are so gentle. There's something about the way they move in the water that makes me feel relaxed and entranced. Almost like meditating ❤️

[@toobydude41]

Sea turtles would be first on the agenda for sure! It's like watching a ballet under water. So graceful as you said. Cannot get over blue that water is either. Hey you mentioned that Five-Alive drink..hehe I remember that! Did like it too!

[@EileenAldis]

haha I'm glad you also remember the Five Alive drink, Scott! I'm not the only one. ;) I love how you said it's like watching a ballet under the water by the way. It's so true. The turtles move with so much grace. It's mesmerizing. 😍

[@markmccurdy8001]

What a beautiful part of the world! You are both blessed to spend part of your lives in such wondrous places! ....I'm fortunate to share in my small way...Thanks for the underwater pictures of the turtles and the lovely reefs! ...I wish I could have shared part of your lunch too!.....Yummmm!

[@EileenAldis]

We feel very, very lucky to experience magical days like this. The world is full of wonder and there's nothing like feeling it all at once. ❤️✨

[@frankietorres6740]

Oooo great video. Stuff dreams are made of.

[@EileenAldis]

It's so true. The kind of day you dream of. ✨

[@jamesreaney465]

Gotta vote Turtles 👏👏👏

[@EileenAldis]

Hi James! I couldn't agree more about the sea turtles. Any chance to see them...I'm gonna take it :)

[@ewaannah9287]

Ooo my favorite people on YT, thank you so much for another amazing video. During watching you I felt a water breeze on my face and smell delicious food 🍱. You are the best ❤. Kisses 😘

[@EileenAldis]

aww thank you!! We always look forward to seeing your comments! 🥰 I'm so glad you felt the breeze and smelled the BBQ. This day was really one for all the senses. One of those magic days you remember forever. 🙏

[@sabrinastraveladventures4263]

Amazing Gosh I would really enjoy visiting The Philippines 🇵🇭 ❤ what a beauty! Oh well I would have skip ⏭️ lunch to stay in the water! As much as I love food I’d rather stay watching any kind of life into these magnificent blue waters anytime a day! I don’t do mornings 😂 for this 💯 ❤ I just did “this morning tour in Husavik 🇮🇸👌🏼” to see the 🐋 💙🐋 and I didn’t mind getting up I was too excited to sleep in any case 😊 The Philippines 🇵🇭 seems a lot of fun, beautiful nature and people Hopefully I can visit one day! Take care Sabrina 🇫🇷🇬🇧

[@EileenAldis]

Hey Sabrina! That's so cool you did a whale watching tour in Húsavík! I lived very near there during the same summer I met Marc in Iceland and also did a whale tour. It was extraordinary. Have you seen the Eurovision movie that takes place there? I love it! They also did a video of the Oscar-nominated song that was shot there with a children's choir. Gave me the chills. I'm sure you'd love visiting the Philippines too...what's not to love with blue, warm water like that?! I know what you mean about not getting out of the water but we did go back in after filling our empty stomachs ;)
