Off The Beaten Path GOES WRONG in Bohol, Philippines 🇵🇭
Vložit
- čas přidán 17. 08. 2024
- I rented a motorbike so I could explore the Bohol island easily and in peace, without being stuck with a guide and driver.
There were many bike rental shops near my hotel, so I chose the one that had the best reviews on Google Maps. It cost 400 pesos ($7.20 USD) per day, while other shops were renting for 300 pesos per day, but their bikes were fairly new and in perfect condition, so it was worth paying the premium price.
For my first day of exploring I stayed in Panglao, which is the small island that's attached to the big Bohol island by a bridge.
Feeling hungry, I drove to Fortridge Food Park, which was highly rated on Google Maps, but when I got there it was dead. I think I was the only customer there and most restaurants were closed. So it seems like it's an evening place. Don't waste your time, like me, going there in the afternoon.
I ordered a fresh pineapple shake at Fortridge and then a huge thunderstorm started. So I took shelter there until it was dry, and continued my adventure.
I drove across Panglao to the Hinagdanan Cave, which is a popular tourist site in Bohol. It was way too busy though, with a queue of people waiting to get inside.
It was mostly local Filipino tourists who were visiting the cave. Bohol is a popular domestic tourist location, especially at the weekends. Filipinos living in Cebu can easily take a ferry across to Bohol for the weekend.
It was Sunday, and so I decided I'd leave and come back to the cave on a weekday.
It seemed like it was going to be a completely wasted day. With only a couple of hours of daylight left I tried to find something else interesting to visit in Panglao. I found there was seashell museum not too far away, and I could make it there just before they closed for the day.
The Nova Shell Museum in the Poblacion area of Panglao is one of the world's biggest sea shell collections in the world. I was lucky enough to go there when there were less visitors, so I got a private tour of the collection from one of the knowledgeable guides there.
The next day started off rainy and I waited for a dry spell, so I could drive to Chocolate Hills on the main Bohol island.
I have access to the executive lounge at the Henann Alona Beach hotel where I'm staying, I so relaxed in there with some free snacks and drinks for a while.
Eventually the rain stopped and I started the 2 hour road trip to Bohol's Chocolate Hills. But on the way I stopped to visit the tarsiers.
Tarsiers are little monkeys and there's a big conservation area of them on the way to Chocolate Hills. They are nocturnal so they aren't moving around during the daytime but you can see them relaxing in the trees.
The other tourists I met at the the Bohol Tarsier Conservation Area were all heading to the Chocolate Hills viewpoint but I had a better idea. Rather than visit the tourist viewpoint, I found a place on Google Maps that said "Chocolate Hill free view point."
I reached the exact point on the map but there was nothing there, so I had to do a bit of exploring. I thought I found a path but that just led to me falling in a ditch and then discovering a locked gate.
After getting some help from the locals I eventually found my way up one of the chocolate hills, that I got to enjoy all by myself with no tourists to annoy me. Despite the mishap, it felt like a great success!
I looked for somewhere to enjoy some tasty Filipino food on my journey back to Panglao, and found a restaurant called "Don Lechon." Lechon is rotisserie pig - a food that I've been meaning to try since I got to the Philippines but haven't found the authentic one yet.
I thought I'd get the authentic pork lechon at Don Lechon, but it was only chicken. Apparently chicken can also be lechon.
On my last day in Bohol, before returning my scooter, I finally visited the Hinagdanan Cave and I have to say it was underwhelming. It's just a cave with a pool of water. It's cool to look at for a few seconds but that's it. Most people were there to swim, but I passed on that, as it didn't look clean.
I ended my Bohol adventure with a fruit smoothie, made by friendly local woman.
I recommend renting a motorbike if you visit Bohol. It was the best way to explore this amazing island.

Best way to explore Bohol is solo with a motorbike. Trying to tour the island with a guide and driver would never have been as fun.
I ❤ you Dale
This is fantastic Dale!😁👌great adventure ❤️
Explore using two strong legs 😂
this is the video ive waited so long...thank you so much for coming to our island Panglao..Luke Damant never explore bohol..he was staying in Modala Hotel in Doljo part of Panglao..hope you enjoyed your bohol tour.❤
Wo ai ni Phil
Thank you for visiting Nova Shell Museum sir, and promoting. I am by the way the local guide named, Kim. 😅 It was my pleasure to be part of your vlog to promote our beautiful places of Bohol. 🫶 God speed.
Thank you for the awesome tour, Kim. I enjoyed it and now all my viewers are enjoying it too. 💯😎👍
@@Dale_Philip You’re most welcome! 🤩
You were great at explaining and giving infos, it was really entertaining! Just like Dale, i also learned not to touch the cone shaped shells haha
@@Michael23541 cone shells is really beautiful but deceiving🥲
Yes, beautiful museum, and you were great. 🐚
Dale is THE only vlogger that can put out a 2hr video and I don’t skip a single second. We love you dale
Yes I completely agree. I am so glad I came across this page and look forward to new videos as well as looking into the past especially the one with the orangatans. Dale you are definitely living the dream, my dream lol.
He also doesn't walk around like his shit smells like roses, and he's the prince of any country he goes to, like many other vlogers
World nomac : are you sure about that
the shell lady was very articulate and patient and nice. just unexpectedly gained some shell knowledge lol
It was nice to learn about mollusks; "just for the shell of it".
I think Kim saved the content as it was getting dull until she came along and shared so much about seashells... that was very enlightening as wasn't very interested in seashells until she shared so much about them... well done Kim and the museum owner for sharing his collection 👍
When you'd rather watch Dale's 2 hour vlog than a movie. 😂
I just finished watching a movie and now im watching this
Dale is my first choice as well 🇿🇦
I dont even realize this vlog is 2 hours😮
Agreed
I get bored watching most movies. But waching dale time flies by
To me, you're the best CZcams vlogger in terms of consistency and maintaining a high level of genuineness. Please, never change your approach to making videos, mate. Just keep doing what you're doing,keep it simple. Don't change. Don't become like those CZcams vloggers who use sensationalism and create rifts between other vloggers; they're money hungry and annoying people. I haven't watched this particular video yet because I'm starting from three,four years ago. By the way, take care, Dale
So my 6 yr old granddaughter now likes to watch your vlogs when she comes over. She says to me “I want to watch the man who never goes home” 😆🏴 stay safe and well! It’s Baltic here just now in Balloch, Loch Lomond so enjoy the heat while you can!
Dale is the kind of guy I’d love to travel with. Stays open minded, isnt afraid to ask for help, and is down for a good adventure!
Seeing you try to push through and explore that one unknown viewpoint despite a mishap was genuinely really interesting and impressive. These are the kind of vlogs I enjoy, and certainly an adventure I see myself enjoying too.
yes so glad he found that woman and she told him there is a path!
Couldn’t have said it better myself
Props to the shell museum guide. Knowledgeable, articulate, friendly. Plus, she understood Dale's brogue with no hesitation whatsoever!
Watching Dale's video is like travelling along with him, learning new things about other countries.😊
It's a good Sunday morning, friends, with 2 hours 16 minutes of Our Man Dale!
Thanks for being here, Dale 💜
When every other gives you 15-30mins and Dale (the beast) gives us 1hr 30 last week and then 2 hrs this week!! Bloody epic!
I think it's better to watch Dale's vlog than Netflix while doing my daily tasks and I'm from INDONESIA 🇮🇩🇮🇩🇮🇩
Watching Dale travelling the Philippines makes me realise how much I miss it. Hopefully I can go next year 😍😍🇵🇭🇵🇭
I'm glad that despite the mishap, you had happiness right away up on the chocolate hill and the beautiful view around it, Dale! ♥ Please be careful always 🍀
Imagine trusting a shanty path lol feel so sorry but I literally spat out my drink dale. “Nothing ventured, nothing gained” right before the fall lol amazing video as always
💀💀💀
imagine it was like a bigger fall ....!!!!
That shell segment was actually amazing. It's so cool when someone really knows their field, and the way you two bounced of each other was pretty cool too.
Honestly, Dale is unreal and absolutely brilliant. Every video is excellent. Thanks, Dale and keep these excellent Vlogs coming.
Wow I actually just finished a 2-hour video. Usually, my eyes get tired of watching one episode of an anime series which only last for 23 minutes. What a way to experience Bohol here from home. Thank you so much Luke Damant! 😁
Luke Damant is another vlogger 😅
The woman at the sea shell museum was so great, i've been really tuned into this part. She's a really good talker, you can tell she is really into this stuff and is happy to share the info
Kim! She was great
Bro, you are doing a great job. I love watching your videos you talk like a soldier you walk like a soldier. I like how you are making your Vlog. Keep it up anytime anytime I see your video I become happy. Wow this is amazing Philippines these people are very friendly and hospitality. I love them so much. This place is a very good place to visit one day. ❤❤
Great job Dale! Your unadulterated raw blogging is a breath of fresh air! I'm an ultimate fan! ❤
Added nearly another million subscribers in 7-8 months. Congrats Dale, well deserved. The best travel vlogger on CZcams by far.
Have to admit this is better than most tv programmes. Now we get a feature length travel vlog 😊
Thank you for your videos Dale. They help me relax and keep a positive outlook on life. It's always nice to travel with you this way.
Hi Dale ! There are at least 175 spoken languages in Philippines. It differs from region to region. Tagalog is the main spoken language, and English is the second. Bisaya or Cebuano are those from Visayan regions such as people from Bohol, Cebu , Davao and such .. Please explore more islands & cities when you come back to our country. We love having you here . ❤🇵🇭
The women at the local museum was fantastic and her explanation was like on point amazing she deserve a reward for that
I get lost watching Dales videos and I feel like I’m traveling with him then it ends and I snap back to home
It was a nice little free vacation 👍
That tour guide was so knowledgeable and fluent
It sounds like Dale had quite an adventurous and delightful time exploring Bohol, Philippines! Visiting a big hill and a small cave with locals must have added some unique experiences to his journey. It's always great when travel involves not just sightseeing but also connecting with the local culture and trying refreshing treats like the fruity cocktails Dale enjoyed. Here's to more wonderful adventures for Dale! 🌍🌴🍹
What a belter of a video. This has to be in my top 3 Dale videos. Been watching you for years and seeing your confidence grow over the years has been amazing. You're a credit to our wee country. WATP 🇬🇧
Thank you Dale for giving us the experience of traveling in remote places while for us being able to enjoy it in the comfort of our own home.
Really enjoying these vlogs
You are so brave for…well being so confident in unknown places. Your relaxed attitude makes for an enjoyable experience to watch.
He is KIND. Like real KIND. YOU CAN SEE THAT IN JUST ONE GLIMPSE. HOWW? Bruh I love you.
In the 80's, we went to that cave with no fee. We were crawling on our belly because there was no light just flash light. We were scared from snakes. At the bottom, you can swim underneath and come out to another cave. But that another cave has no other exit, you have to swim down back. My cousin did that and we were scared because he could have been lost.
I don't mind watching Dale's vlog even if it's 3 hrs long because with Dale, you get the real experience! Even though I have to wait for a whole week, but who cares! It's Our man Dale.... keep it up mate! Cheers 🍻 (Oh I mean with Coke Zero) 😂...
man dale is the only vlogger that i watch the whole 2 hours its so entertaining. Sad you dont have time and are leaving soon. There are many places to visit on the country
i feel kind of sad all those girls were expecting to see him at the chocolate hills view point lol
That man you bought the bracelet from had some of the biggest smiles afterwards! Thanks for the uploads Dale!
Caused he ripped him off
@@echidnut6602 no shit m8
What a treat! Thank you Dale for the long vlog, enjoyed every minute of it. Looking forward to your next adventure.
I never expected a shell museum to be interesting or worth a visit but that was cool to see and if I’m ever in that part of the world I’ll sure pop by to see them in person
My Sunday night is complete! 😊 I could seriously watch you and the adventures all day. Leaving the keys in the bike is becoming a regular thing aha hope you don't get stung one time 😅
Your vlog is so relaxing to watch.. unlike the other vloggers we feel like we are with you😊😊. Keep it up bro always be honest 💪👍
all my sadness ended when Dale Philip uploaded his new vlog 😊❤
I've been watching Dale since 2019 and hoped that one day he'd come and visit my island of Bohol, and now he's here and even visited my hometown of Balilihan for some lechon haha. Enjoy your stay, Dale, and keep up the fantastic stuff.
Thank you Dale for taking us with your adventure. I don't know but I felt like I'm about to cry when you reach the peak of the hill. Watching you is better than any movie. Salamat Dale!
idk, I was so happy when you reached the peak of that hill lol. It feels like I'm travelling with you, thanks for this adventure, Dale!
more than 2 hours..lovely and relaxing weekend watching Dale videos
Your videos are just making me nostalgic about travelling! And as always, the best vlogger I've ever seen!
You’re the sort of travel CZcamsr that we could watch for hours and hours. I wished you posted more often :)
Anyway, I’ll stop being greedy…thank you for your fun and entertaining content mate!
Thank you for the videos, Dale. If you happen to stumble the issues regarding about your vlogs here in the Philippines and saying that you always complain yada, yada, just ignore them. It's just that Filipinos are sensitive and can't take little criticism. I know you have a lot of good things to say here but they are just being over- shadowed by your "complaining". You are just misunderstood.
Continue your vlogs, mate and stay real.
- Filipino avid watcher
average filipino generalizing once again
filipinos this filipinos that
always out to ruin one's own people and country to the rest of the world. keep on being you
👍
mga peenoise puro issue. HAHAHA.
Over 2 hours 🎉 💪🏻😀 thanks Dale, I'm gonna prepare some lunch soon and enjoy another adventure!
Sea Shell Museum is unique and interesting. Natalus shells and huge shells. Thank you for your efforts, aaking questions and bringing us with you..
2 hours flew by just like that bc this vlog was so fun to watch as always 🤩 (especially the motorcycle rides and the scenery) enjoy your time here in the Philippines dale!! 🇵🇭❤️
The icing on the cake was Dale on top of the Chocolate Hills after smashing its foothill 😅, it's worth the adventure. Btw, no vloggers in the Philippines who went to Bohol that we're watching went on top of that hill and smashed it with his bagpipe! Thanks for detailed footage of what makes it brown, it could be a controlled fire to keep its grasses maintained. Glad someone explained to you that the cave has its own spring water if not sea water connected underground like the other islands part of Philippines has to offer and its endless beautiful waterfalls. Keep exploring our country and "ingat lagi" always take care!
Bakit pinapayagan ng Tourism Office ng Bohol na akyatin ng mga turista ang chocolate hills??! Fragile ang mga iyan!! Simulang masisira iyang mga hills, tiyak! Haiist!
Thank you Dale 👏 classic video, that family with the chickens were lovely people, and especially the part after the caves 😂, also glad you got your own chocolate hill to climb, bargain!! Hope your leg/foot is ok 👍😊
The Philippines is a very comfortable country to visit, the street food also looks very delicious there
You’re the best traveler blogger, my dad family is Asian but im not well enough to travel but watching your videos makes me feel I have actually been there. Keep up the good work 😊
Dale, you're the reason I'm watching long format videos again because it mostly getting bored now a days but you keep it simple, intresting, great, fabulous, adventurous, friendly everything you put it on a single long vlog and now I almost left watched movies etc. and just watched your vlogs it made my day and i think many of us. 😊
Enjoying your vlogs since morning till sleep in the night around 2 AM night so happy for you. We don't get that opportunity to wonder the planet but you're the one through which I enjoyed the jouney of the whole world without physically over there but iy feels like we are there thanks a ton for this one. Keep it up. Just a humble request I know it might take you a bit more time to edit and upload a video but we can't wait that much so if possible please try to upload the videos in like Gap of 4 days atleast. Just waiting for a tons of vlogs coming way.
Lots of love from your second home New Delhi ❤
The tour guide from the shells collection is really good..very informative! I dont have any interest in shells but she was able to entertain me.
This is the longest vlog i watched. Which is the best for the viewers. its like you are watching a movies. It so satisfying to watch. More vlogs on the Philippines beautiful places.🤩👍🇵🇭
This is better than watching a movie, my jaw dropped in the chocolate hills , kudos to you Dale and stay safe on your travels
I just love your personality mate. Never change. These vlogs always brighten my day. You should've taken that woman up on the offer for the girl that was single. She clearly liked you, she was blushing.
I originally look forward to Fortridge Food Park, but it turn out to be a disappointment!
I don't look forward to the seashell museum, but it turn out to be a pleasant surprise! However, the way they presented it could be improved!
That executive lounge is better than expected and the snack there is actually great!
Tarsiers are so cute, Yoda in Star Wars should be modeled after their appearance!
Although Joe Dante, the director of Gremlins, publicly accused Star Wars of plagiarizing Gremlins, he actually refered himself!
Tarsiers are nocturnal animals and rest during the day, but they are open to visitors during the day, disturbing their rest!
It is more of a commercial zoo than a protected area!
In fact, that free view point used to be very famous, and our television company have gone there to film the travel show.
Maybe the epidemic has caused fewer people to go there, and even the road looks much more desolate!
In our country, it is said that the green chocolate mountain is matcha-flavored chocolate, haha!
Logically speaking, the pool in that cave must be flowing, otherwise the water would have filled up long ago if water is without going out.
Maybe it would be cleaner than an artificial pool!
This is another great adventurous episode of Dale's travel show, thank you very much for sharing! 👍🥰🙏
The lady speaks very good English in the museum and presented it very well and very detailed. You couldn't ask for more the way she presented it. She communicated very well with Dale. I do not know what needs to be improved in there. She was polite, too. Filipinos speaks English but not all can communicate very well than this lady.
@@boomzgamingph This does not refer to the lady, but to the entire museum, including the buildings and the way shells are preserved!
They operate the museum as a souvenir shop and seem to have a misunderstanding of the definition of a museum!
If those shells are so precious, they shouldn’t be touched by anyone!
@@giannishen Hello. I’m sorry if we didn’t exceed your expectation. We just recently open because of the pandemic that happened and right after the COVID, we had experienced the super typhoon Odette that destroy our place most particularly in Visayas which is this place located as well. The management is planning for the renovation but still coping for some budget also. Hopefully by next year we can start it as soon as possible and if we have exact amount of budget. Thank you.
@@kimaiguiritan5946 Thanks a lot for letting me know, you are very nice! Hope everything recovers soon, best wishes! 🥰🙏
The rage driving away from the sellers with that bracelet on 😂
Our man was a hit with the ladies in this one!
We also have tarsier in north Sulawesi (Indonesia) ,we called it Tarsius. There is also conservation area for these lil guy here. You should visit here sometime 😊
What a lovely woman in the Shell Museum.. so knowledgeable and keen.
I need to comment. That's a very nice conversation with Kim. Kim is good explanator.
I love how Filipinos know english very well even the people in rural area.
greetings from your neighbor Indonesia 🇮🇩
I can't believe I finished watching this vlog Dale. 😆 I really enjoyed it. I was really entertained especially the Smoothie part of the video. Looking forward for more videos. I am also a Bisaya since I am from Leyte. Just enjoy Bohol and most importantly take care always Dale. God bless. ☺️😍
Over 2 hours of travel content. Thank you Dale 😊
Hey Dale a quick tip on the weather and rain, when it says 30% it’s not 30% chance of rain it’s 30% of the area you are located with get rain just a quick tip that a lot of people mix up
Wow! I couldn't believe I watched the entire vlog... Really enjoyed this one! Keep up the good work brother:)
Big fan brother from Pakistan 🇵🇰
Hope your doing well Dale and keeping safe , these videos bring me a sense a of adventure and peace here at home. It looks like quite the experience traveling to other countries and having different meals and drinks and experiencing different cultures.
Love your vlogs man! I hope you will get 3 million soon! Please Visit Jakarta more! I am from Indonesia and I really appreciate your Indonesian Vlogs.
My 2 hours and 17 minutes of my life is not wasted , take care always dale, you're video is experience ❤
I love your honesty 😅😅😅
Dale's interaction with local people always cracks me up 😂 keep up the good work man
Love watching Dale! Better than movies lol. Makes museums entertaining to watch!
A Dale vlog at least 2 hours long and worth watching everytime! Eat your heart out most Netflix series episodes 😊
Thank you for feeding the dogs ❤ they absolutely needed it
Hello Dale thanks for this amazing vlog it always is a great adventure. Maybe one day you can come to Austria. I would be happy to show you around.
The shell museum was awesome. Butthole island looks like a great destination.
Sunday watching 2hrs of dale is so much entertaining. Hope the next one won’t take so long
The chocolate hills are absolutely GORGEOUS!!! Also they’re kind of cute! Adorable perfect round mounds
Sending some love from Toronto! Gotta say i absolutely love your videos, i watch about 5 or 6 different travel vlogers and they are all pretty good but i think you are the most genuine. The other ones have this constant "look how cool i am" ...or let me just involve myself in peoples business uninvited vibe...whereas you do not. Keep it up man!
Well done , Dale 👏enjoy and be safe .. I’ve been in Bohol with my fam. We had an awesome experienced with lovely people, stunning view of Chocolate Hills, sea views and a lot more .. I’m really glad you’ve been there quite sometime now in Philippines. There’s more to explore in Philippines 🇵🇭. Originally, I came from Butuan City ,. but now I lived here in West Sussex near Gatwick England 🏴 . It’s very interesting watching your videos and glad you visited my country 🇵🇭🫰💚🧡
That was a good conversation with smoothie lady dale
😮Watching fall over the flimsy "bridge" seemed like the start of a horror movie! You're so brave! And I felt that inspirational speech you gave at the top of the hill! ❤❤❤
That shell lady knew her stuff!! Keep up the great videos.
Dave's the the only tavel vlogger that would take the most unusual route and and finds himself in a wet shoes
nice to see your latest video mr dale ❤... i want to take this opportunity to wish anyone who has been deprived of their rights as a human being to get their due justice .. may the peace of the world be maintained so that we can see more videos like this
Great video, Dale. Much respect for your genuine interest and kind interaction with the people. Your sense of humor is the cherry on top. The last segment at the drink stand is a perfect example of how travel promotes international understanding and fosters mutual respect. FANTASTIC.
Great 2hrs + video. Im so happy that your back vlogging.
Take care dale from Cagayan de Oro City 🇵🇭❤️😎
Dale drops a 2 hour travel video,I’m making time to watch it. 🎊
The seashell's museum is fascinating.
Happy to see another Dale vlog in the Philippines 🫰🏼💜 and it’s a movie 🥲 love it
Dale telling the girls about go pro vs phone camera quality. Professional
