i prefer Philippines than other sea countries because of many reasons like the people, no language barrier, good air quality, its more fun, more of a family vacation, the beach ofcourse the beach are on another level it is really Paradise. i hope this country still remains to be a family get away, a hidden gem and a paradise in the future.
@@jeddee3820 i noticed you like in every comment whenever someone praise the Philippines for having better beaches than the others.. i was wondering if you are having some personal problems and is having a hard time due to some personal issues and is lashing out to every comment you see here.. i feel bad for you to be honest. If you ever need help, don't forget to pray and you won't be forgotten..
As I already wrote, we did this cruise in December and really loved it. We met so many nice people on the boat from so many different countries and we could not leave each other arriving in El Nido. We went on spending time all together on the next 2 days in El Nido… Lost boys crews are very friendly, smiling and good guys… Funny thing is that we only shared one same camp with your cruise ( Ney Ney - the best one also for me ). So it means that I will be able to make a second cruise without being bored… Good news !
@@davidmartin2706December is dry season until May, and cooler if you're north (Palawan is south tho, so it would be typical tropical heat, and the cool season only lasts til Feb, March to May is hot af)
I think this is the kind of experience that tourists in Thailand are looking for, but they end up on a crowded beach with hundreds of others. Great job on this video. I’m not a beach and ocean person, but this makes me want to give the tour a go.
@@chrisk7118 it would be better for the philippines to keep its mystery and secret than spoiling it to have overcrowded tourist. better to keep it in pristine condition and avoid over development. let them enjoy those overcrowded beach in thailand.
The price is not really bad at all if you compare it with any Carribean all-inclusive vacation package tour, except that plane fare is not included in the package. However, the experience of island hopping to different island paradise, the sailing in a vintage boat, the friendly and relaxing atmosphere, and sleeping close to nature devoid of modern amenities is a good therapy for someone who badly needs a reset.
For those who want to travel in the Philippines, always check the travel forecast in your travel dates. Make sure no heavy rains or typhoons as it is prone to it.
The double outrigger sail boat is the same design as the ancestors of Filipinos, the Austronesians, used to sail the seas and the Pacific ocean as far back as the 2000 BC. That's how the descendants of the Austronesians managed to island hop using the wind, current, stars to guide them - no gps etc. The Tagbanua are probably one of the oldest groups in the PH, descendants of the original Austronesian settlers, the housing style follow original housing design. The Tau expedition gave you more than just the island hopping experience but also a bit of historical experience, minus the Filipino/Asian fusion cuisne (which I think looks almost a culinary experience). Most tourists and locals have no clue about the historical contribution of the Filipino Austronesians to the region and the Pacific. $750.00 for the whole trip may be expensive for the Philippines but compared to others it is very reasonable. My 3 day trip to the southern highlands of Papua New Guinea cost me almost double that, 15 years ago.
It would take a lot of money as a Filipino to see the many islands so I've been to only 5 islands man, this Palawan tops all those I've been to beauty wise. Your presentation and rating on the expedition is exactly what I've seen on the video save and except the unorganized processing of your booking which is not unusual in the country.
The truth is Tao can build fancy boats as they have in Thailand, but the purpose of Tao building boats made of wood and basic accommodation is to protect the environment. If you look at the first boat, no plastic was used, not even paint many patches of wood were recycled. They ban plastic items on board and into the islands.
@@sallypizan1343They are already here this August vlogging, weather is unpredictable these days anytime of the year, you just manage the right moment to explore.
I'm so grateful and lucky enough to also did this tour !! What an amazing trip! The boat crew was amazing, the food, everything was so perfect :) Thx for sharing 🍍
It'a so perfect I am crying. I have been to El Nido and Coron many times for a few weeks at a time but I have not done the Tao expeditions. I thought it would be too hard for me. Looks like worth every penny. ❤ The whole point of the Tao expeditions is being with nature, having just the basics, having a simple life at least for a few days, detaching from the modern life. Seems like some Karens were on board (there's no pleasing some people!)
The $750 price tag is quite high, but after seeing your trip, it seems reasonable. Still can't get over how beautiful those islands are in the daytime. Just amazing 😊.
$750 divided by 6 days. So you are going to spend $125 per day when you join that expedition. The price seems reasonable since you are going to rent a hotel room anyway and you are going to spend more than $125 in one day for hotel room, food, recreation and transportation.
I am a filipino and this is the first time to hear about this kind of expedition in our country, I can't afford it now but I'll work my ass off to experience this kind of adventure hopefully with my family along with me. Great Content! :)
I have my vacation with my friends to Balabac Islands Palawan last week and we were blown away of different colors of the water. From deep blue to Aqua Blue then Aqua Green. OMG. I wanna live and stay there and planning to buy some Land in the future
@@pongpong123able4 Saltwater crocs are rarely seen out of the mainland (Balabac), and they don't traverse waters that far. The folks in Balabac could learn a thing or two from Tao PH. Heck, I'd pay a thousand bucks for a similar experience as nothing tops the beauty of the islands of Balabac. Those islands can definitely give the Bahamas, Polynesia and the Maldives a run for their money.
@@exgeeinteractive I never been in Maldives,Bahamas or Polynesia but Hell YES I will definitely spend P40,000.00 pesos to go back to these islands. The folks of Balabac said that salt water crocodiles will stay in the mangroves areas and can't traverse to these open sea waters because of high currents and waves
If you are a foriegner you can't buy a land here unless you are married or you are half filipino, but yes you can own a condo, apartment, a house maybe but not the land.
This is on another level … The benefits of being a member I don’t have to wait to long to watch your amazing travels . Absolutely enjoying the Philippines series .
Paddy my friend as a guy who has lived in Fiji and French Polynesia and the Caribbean and sailed the seas on tall ships, I have to say that trip was epic and astonishing. Added to my bucket list. See you in Chiang Mai soon for a beer
I am glad I am a Paddy Doyle member. I would have gone crazy waiting for part two. Epic Video Paddy. This is why I love you. This is the kind of video I expect to see on your channel. Just stunning!!! Please make more videos like this mate. Seven hundred fifty dollars really is not a bad price when you figure the cost of a week-long holiday at an all-excusive resort. I have a great boss; he takes us all on a week-long holiday every year in a different place in the world every year. I am going to suggest this for sure. Fxxx the boss I am going to book this trip right now. You won me back on this one mate.
What an amazing expedition!!!! It truly depicts a true Filipino Tao culture and traditions. It may not provide everyone an opulent accomodation but really provide each of true Filipino hospitality and charm. Thank you for having the Tao Philippines part of your adventures and experience.... ❤❤❤❤
Hi Paddy, my girlfriend and I are from the US and Ireland and we are traveling around SE Asia, Laos at the moment. We really like your channel because youre not afraid to say what you like but also what you dont like or things to watch out for. You keep your channel positive etc while also calling things down the middle. Youve saved us a bunch of headaches. Its refreshing versus the channels that just say "oh everything is awesome and great" for clicks. We know as experienced travelers that overwhelmingly everything is positive but every now and again something is just not right. An example would be sharing your Tour A experience in the El Nido video. Thanks for calling things balanced and keep it up. Love the channel. Barry - Centauri Explore
There are a lot of tourist in El Nido and that cannot be helped but if you want to check out Tour A, go on a weekday. The most tourist in PH are still the local tourists and we, pinoys mostly go on our holiday from fri to monday, avoid any public holidays. Go on a private tour or semi private tour.
Hi young man Amazing I met your Dad the other day. I was driving him from work place to home last night. Since then I start watching your amazing experience. All the best
Hi Paddy, another beautiful video. I did the 5 day trip with Tao from El Nido to Coron and our groupe stayed a whole day and 2 nights on Ngey Ngey Island. That was the absolute highlight. in our groupe we have had 10 guests who booked the 3 day trip and they had to leave the same day to Coron when we arrived at the Ngey Ngey camp. So we were just 15 "leftovers" on that beautiful Island. Really amazing! Best wishes to you...
I'm happy, you showed the beauty of the Philippines in a dramatic and amazing way. we saw on how you magnificently featured the details in every single way. Thank you for having being visited and enjoying the moment that you'll be never forget in your life. Maraming Salamat. I Subscribed
Holy Molly, why I do feel so sad by the end of this TAO tour? Means I have to take this in the future. Thanks Paddy. You actually just touch the tip of the iceberg, there so much to explore 🇵🇭🫶🇬🇧👍
Enjoyed watching this part of your Philippines Next Level Adventure. The first wooden sailing vessel/ship you were on was truly exciting to see with it's historic design, and that woodwork looked amazingly styled, well maintained. Also every island looked completely amazing and what I'd want to see for such an expense and touristy thing to do without the mobs of tourists ruining the white sand (private) beaches and traditional Philippine styled huts you slept in each night, also the planned activities seemed "only ok" in my opinion, and appeared to be very limited on what you could choose to do, yes, snorkeling, scuba diving, beach going/swimming would always be on the list, a basic list, and I'm a bit surprised there were not like you say, an 'all day adventure' to take part in, like an expedition through the forests or to a mountain or 'site' on the islands you visited, or 'something' else (even at an additional cost) may have really made it even more 'next level,' but, all in all, it sounds and seems like it's well worth the expense paid regardless, that food looked unbelievably amazing each meal, and just wondered if you're not a huge 'fish' eater, and not a 'vegan' than the choices would be very small/limited, like not even a hamburger and fries, or buckets of rice and adobo-styled cuisines as an option every meal. I'm sure with the limited staff and facilities, that it wouldn't be practical, but I'm not a shrimp, clam or shellfish connoisseur, and one can only eat so much calamari (which I do love) each day/meal, so the food choices seemed a bit 'weak' as far as selection/alternatives appeared. The Lechon would certainly make up for it, as that's very popular/common Filipino eats. Would I spend that $ for it, YES, without a doubt it seems well worth the cost with Tao Expedition and tour company, but an even longer package like 7-10 nights/days with more cost would certainly be a suggestion on my part, as I would probably want even more time to enjoy in those private white sand beaches without the tourists, in a tourist beauty beach/island setting, even maybe a 3 night stay at each of them could work, if other activities (add-in tours) were provided. Great 6-day of video's you did, with your professionalism and true opinions, both the good and bad of, so enjoyed watching each one you shared with us. Stay Healthy, Happy and Safe, my Brother. Looking forward the the next set of videos you share with us, I do truly love your whole take on showing us a place anywhere you go.
I think you're 10 out of 10 yourself Paddy!! So love your videos. I feel so happy when i see you release a new one! But yes, that trip looks bloody amazing!! I did a week long 'Intrepid' sailing trip around the islands off the coast of Phukett a few years ago. One of the best things Ive ever done!! I keep thinking about going back and doing it again. But I'll certainly be checking out the Tau trips. Thankyou again for another awesome video. Keep doing what youre doing!
This expedition will blow up the tourist map for sure, crowded islands in the future? Nah, this is just a small percentage of the 7k+ islands, there are more to see, sail a week without thinking about your daily grind, sleep on a un-hotel like amenities just the basics, eat food prepared before your eyes(we have one of the best in the world, go figure out), interact internationally including local crews and have fun time owning sunsets 5x and sing your heart out in islands that nobody can hear you, all in all as paddy said, it is all worth it...
Learn scuba diving , and visit the tubataha reefs , if you really wants to sea the under water beauty of the Philippines , just a recommendation for you to enjoy the Philippines beauty!
Paddy your the best...I love you blog...very documentary and not boring....I love the cinematography of your content...you miss the BATANES...its the New Zealand of the Philippines...I'm sad this your last Philippines segment...make a Part 2 because this country has so much to offer
THANKS DOYLE FOR SHOWCASING THE BEST TOURIST DESTINATIONS IN THE PHILIPPINES. I ENJOYED SEEING THE BEAUTIFUL SITES AS IF I AM ALSO PART OF YOUR GROUP. FROM LAS VEGAS, U.S.
Cost is relative. Compared to Philippine prices, a lot of common folk back home would find that price extravagant. But, for United States, Europe and even Japan , Korea and Singapore prices, that is downright very reasonable. An hour helicopter ride in Hawaii can buy you a weeks accommodation with complimentary breakfast daily in Palawan which evidently is not as well developed but the natural beauty and the marine life in Palawan will beat that hands down!
It's kind of funny seeing people rave about the "banana flower burger" (called ukoy na puso ng saging in Tagalog) when it's the one usually sold for cheap to plebs like us while the rich people get to eat the ones with real meat. Just something to note when people talk about Filipino cuisine, most people don't realize that there's a big difference between the food sold in restaurants and that cooked at homes, usually with vegetables grown from a person's backyard.
Hi Paddy, I'm not sure if you ever realized this but your skin tone is getting better. You have this pinkish tan and I Love it. Keep the great videos coming. TAO Philippines is my ultimate bucket list.
Thank you for sharing. Such beautiful scenes. I loved how you included the group in this video. You made sure to say “the group and I” or “we” and I appreciated that about this video. Stay safe and keep the content coming! For someone who travels a lot- you inspire me!
Wow! I've lived here in the Philippines for thirty five years, and I've never been to some of the places that you have visited. All of your videos are outstanding, done in such a professional manner. Look forward to your next adventure. Thanks for sharing.
Great vlog again Paddy! If there’s one thing that needs to be put to rest, it’s the food quality in the Philippines. A lot of Thailand fan boys trash Philippines food but honestly you can get some epic food in Philippines! It’s maybe just not as widespread or consistent as Thailand etc as each region is quite different, Philippines is not a single culture like Thailand.
Well, the only edge of Thai food against Filipino food is that the Thai government supports and funds Thai restaurants outside of thailand. That is why they’re popular. Just as the Philippines has many islands, it has more and different cuisine. It’s not all pork and meat but even a wide assortment of veggie food. They’re not going to be in every vlog or blog post as the pork and meat varieties just get more media coverage than the veggie food.
True,about food, ,because every island of Phillippines has deffirent culture mixture, ,like the south of Mindanao, , foods are most close to Indonesia,Malay taste hot spicy, , in the bisayas region like Cebu are more European and hespanic,
@@lanieaguisanda6221 It's just that the Philippines has poor marketing of our food against the more global marketing machinery of Thailand. Not only that, being in the States for 20 years, I see more Thai-made products in supermarkets. That's because of their efficient shipping system. They don't have the logistical problem because it's not like the Philippines which has more than 7,600 islands, making it a logistical nightmare but on the upside, a more diverse cullture -- with yes, diverse cuisine still unheard of and not explored by 99% of vloggers. I remember the ingenuity of Bukidnon people for lechon paksiw -- the best I've taested anywhere, the laing of Bicol, the kalamay of Tarlac, the many coconut-based veggies. All foreigners know is that we have pork food, which we have perfected but they know little to nothing of the varieties. We even have our own ceviche in kinilaw. Even other Asians admit to how we've even outdone some Chinese food. Our porridge -- arrozcaldo is better than the Chinese porridge, the lumpia is better than egg roll. Please add Filipino food here that no one talks about.
the flavors and recipes are good, it's just the quality of the ingredients is often very bad. Also the American influence (way too much sugar) ruins the food. Filipinos need to stick to salty, sour, and spicy- the traditional flavors of Filipino food
When Thailand started becoming more popular, word got out that street food would be cheaper and delicious if they found out the local spots where most Thais would eat in. Popularity boosted competition. Most people don't do that for the Philippines, partly because even the snobbish upper middle class deride the local karinderyas due to colonial mentality, so instead they direct people to the rather expensive restaurants serving the blandest versions of Filipino food while they themselves gorge on verious foreign cuisines that serve as status symbols. What most foreigners and upper middle class Filipinos don't know is that in every ward in cities and small towns there is always 1 local karinderya that's flocked by everyone in that ward, the actual best places to sample good Filipino food outside of homecooking by the people themselves. I have yet to see a traveller to the Philippines visit those spots, outside Mark Wiens and the guy from BEFRS, maybe a few more who has done a Binondo tour. The funny thing is, UN FAO data shows Filipinos eat more vegetables and fruit and less meat on average than most mainland SEAsians, especially compared to the Vietnamese but also Thais, but we're the ones who get bagged down by being a meat heavy cuisine, something very weird to hear from a Filipino who once preferred the meat and fry heavy Western cuisine as a kid compared to the more vegetable and seafood stew heavy Filipino cuisine I grew up with but learned to appreciate as I grew older. Even when people try out adobo, I found it quite weird to see all these foreigners eating adobo without vegetables in it when the adobo I grew up with has half its weight in potatoes or taro. Part of me doesn't want to point that out tho, I think it's great that we can quietly enjoy that shockingly delicious tinola with tanglad, ginataang sinaing na tulingan, binagoongan, for so cheap in the local karinderya we have that few people will ever know. Gatekeeping feels good sometimes.
Hiya Paddy. Lovely you had some time out without a signal. To chill. Sleep to the sound of the waves, the best white noise. For most people, the money spent on the trip is a lot of money. I can imagine they were disappointed. Not to be staying at that beautiful campsite. Fantastic next campsite. Dinner looked delicious. Day 4. The wonky hut you climbed out from. 😁The beach. Wow. Paradise. Your lunch on board the new boat. Made my mouth water. You are a master of drone footage. Spectacular. Shame about the jellyfish. The sunsets are insane. The Philippines has to be one of the best places in the world to snorkel or scuba. Lechon. A celebration when this happens. Day 5. Epic drone footage. Gorgeous. Camp Ngey Ngey. Wow. The footage says it all. The food looked so good. Always love your honesty. The lost boys. Love their name. The food on both boats looked so tasty. Good ideas for the trips to take in that it would have been good to chill at some places for a day. Love your content. Thank you for sharing. Can not wait to share these videos.
I WATCHED BOTH VIDEOS OF THIS EXPERIENCED OF YOURS IN MY COUNTRY AND I AM THINKING NOW OF HAVING THIS JOURNEY ON MY BIRTHDAY IN NOVEMBER HOPEFULLY. IT'S FANTASTIC
Five star island!!! Five big wows. I wish I could do the same. Spain is getting boring. Thanks for the lovely cinematography . Let me share this lovely episode. Thanks again!
I remember watching you make a video from your bedroom about how you were going to travel go every province in Thailand. Come a long way. Amazing video. The quality is epic now. You inspired me to go to Thailand and it was the best trip of my life. Maybe Philippines is next. Cheers Paddy!
Thank you so much Paddy Doyle for the 2-part vlogs of your Tao Expedition! Highly informative, with candid, straightforward, constructive comments on organizational matters. All the best to your onward journeys.😀
I am a FilAm. When I first came to America, I learned that many people like to live by the lake. I wondered what's the big deal about the lake. It finally dawned on me that people like to live close to the water. I have been to Hawaii but I have yet to see anything as beautiful as Palawan.

Also the crab-claw and tanja sails were of Austronesian invention...

An example would be sharing your Tour A experience in the El Nido video. Thanks for calling things balanced and keep it up. Love the channel. Barry - Centauri Explore
There are a lot of tourist in El Nido and that cannot be helped but if you want to check out Tour A, go on a weekday.
The most tourist in PH are still the local tourists and we, pinoys mostly go on our holiday from fri to monday, avoid any public holidays.
Go on a private tour or semi private tour.
Paddy is truthful. I started watching the vietnamese trip and enjoyed his channel
Hi young man
Amazing
I met your Dad the other day.
I was driving him from work place to home last night. Since then I start watching your amazing experience.
All the best
Hi Paddy, another beautiful video. I did the 5 day trip with Tao from El Nido to Coron and our groupe stayed a whole day and 2 nights on Ngey Ngey Island. That was the absolute highlight. in our groupe we have had 10 guests who booked the 3 day trip and they had to leave the same day to Coron when we arrived at the Ngey Ngey camp. So we were just 15 "leftovers" on that beautiful Island. Really amazing! Best wishes to you...
The islands and water was beautiful.
I love the Philippines !!
Looks like a fabulous trip! Love that little dog - he made me smile every time!
Me too! I would look for him every time! What a cutie and what a life!🙏🏻❤️❤️❤️he’d LOVE us with all the attention lovin n pets!!! Lol 😎
The view is stunning. It's like a portrait. An IG spot. ❤😍
Just the way how common Filipino people can communicate through English, that's the thing!
Thank you for sharing your TAO adventures to us. This one is definitely will be included in my bucket list. So beautiful!
Great expidation. Philippines was truly amazing🎉
I'm happy, you showed the beauty of the Philippines in a dramatic and amazing way. we saw on how you magnificently featured the details in every single way. Thank you for having being visited and enjoying the moment that you'll be never forget in your life. Maraming Salamat. I Subscribed
He complained the whole time about the Philippines in his IG story tho and now he is very positive in all his RUclips video about PH. What a fake
i love palawan. i wanna visit soon. thanks for this video! this is informative
Holy Molly, why I do feel so sad by the end of this TAO tour? Means I have to take this in the future. Thanks Paddy. You actually just touch the tip of the iceberg, there so much to explore 🇵🇭🫶🇬🇧👍
Enjoyed watching this part of your Philippines Next Level Adventure. The first wooden sailing vessel/ship you were on was truly exciting to see with it's historic design, and that woodwork looked amazingly styled, well maintained. Also every island looked completely amazing and what I'd want to see for such an expense and touristy thing to do without the mobs of tourists ruining the white sand (private) beaches and traditional Philippine styled huts you slept in each night, also the planned activities seemed "only ok" in my opinion, and appeared to be very limited on what you could choose to do, yes, snorkeling, scuba diving, beach going/swimming would always be on the list, a basic list, and I'm a bit surprised there were not like you say, an 'all day adventure' to take part in, like an expedition through the forests or to a mountain or 'site' on the islands you visited, or 'something' else (even at an additional cost) may have really made it even more 'next level,' but, all in all, it sounds and seems like it's well worth the expense paid regardless, that food looked unbelievably amazing each meal, and just wondered if you're not a huge 'fish' eater, and not a 'vegan' than the choices would be very small/limited, like not even a hamburger and fries, or buckets of rice and adobo-styled cuisines as an option every meal. I'm sure with the limited staff and facilities, that it wouldn't be practical, but I'm not a shrimp, clam or shellfish connoisseur, and one can only eat so much calamari (which I do love) each day/meal, so the food choices seemed a bit 'weak' as far as selection/alternatives appeared. The Lechon would certainly make up for it, as that's very popular/common Filipino eats. Would I spend that $ for it, YES, without a doubt it seems well worth the cost with Tao Expedition and tour company, but an even longer package like 7-10 nights/days with more cost would certainly be a suggestion on my part, as I would probably want even more time to enjoy in those private white sand beaches without the tourists, in a tourist beauty beach/island setting, even maybe a 3 night stay at each of them could work, if other activities (add-in tours) were provided. Great 6-day of video's you did, with your professionalism and true opinions, both the good and bad of, so enjoyed watching each one you shared with us. Stay Healthy, Happy and Safe, my Brother. Looking forward the the next set of videos you share with us, I do truly love your whole take on showing us a place anywhere you go.
I think you're 10 out of 10 yourself Paddy!! So love your videos. I feel so happy when i see you release a new one! But yes, that trip looks bloody amazing!! I did a week long 'Intrepid' sailing trip around the islands off the coast of Phukett a few years ago. One of the best things Ive ever done!! I keep thinking about going back and doing it again. But I'll certainly be checking out the Tau trips. Thankyou again for another awesome video. Keep doing what youre doing!
Ah thanks Sue
Paddy -- Thank you so much for this series. Life is so short, and earth is so beautiful.
I love the review at the end, honest and constructive! I hope Tao is watching. And I’m glad the positives buried the negatives 10 out of 10.
This expedition will blow up the tourist map for sure, crowded islands in the future? Nah, this is just a small percentage of the 7k+ islands, there are more to see, sail a week without thinking about your daily grind, sleep on a un-hotel like amenities just the basics, eat food prepared before your eyes(we have one of the best in the world, go figure out), interact internationally including local crews and have fun time owning sunsets 5x and sing your heart out in islands that nobody can hear you, all in all as paddy said, it is all worth it...
Learn scuba diving , and visit the tubataha reefs , if you really wants to sea the under water beauty of the Philippines , just a recommendation for you to enjoy the Philippines beauty!
Hoping you'll enjoy the beautiful beaches of the Philippines ❤
yes the place of philippines so beautiful and amazing, thankyou to share the beauty of my country
There are many islands and fresh foods and good ambiance
Paddy your the best...I love you blog...very documentary and not boring....I love the cinematography of your content...you miss the BATANES...its the New Zealand of the Philippines...I'm sad this your last Philippines segment...make a Part 2 because this country has so much to offer
We cannot deny that philippines will never be rank last when it comes to beautiful spots.
THANKS DOYLE FOR SHOWCASING THE BEST TOURIST DESTINATIONS IN THE PHILIPPINES. I ENJOYED SEEING THE BEAUTIFUL SITES AS IF I AM ALSO PART OF YOUR GROUP. FROM LAS VEGAS, U.S.
Cost is relative. Compared to Philippine prices, a lot of common folk back home would find that price extravagant. But, for United States, Europe and even Japan , Korea and Singapore prices, that is downright very reasonable. An hour helicopter ride in Hawaii can buy you a weeks accommodation with complimentary breakfast daily in Palawan which evidently is not as well developed but the natural beauty and the marine life in Palawan will beat that hands down!
The sea dog is very smart and already memorized all the routes and where to go.
What an awesome trip. Some beautiful places along the way . Thanks for taking us with you
It's kind of funny seeing people rave about the "banana flower burger" (called ukoy na puso ng saging in Tagalog) when it's the one usually sold for cheap to plebs like us while the rich people get to eat the ones with real meat. Just something to note when people talk about Filipino cuisine, most people don't realize that there's a big difference between the food sold in restaurants and that cooked at homes, usually with vegetables grown from a person's backyard.
You must be fun at parties.
wow!ihope i can visit this place soon
Very well done!
Hi Paddy, I'm not sure if you ever realized this but your skin tone is getting better. You have this pinkish tan and I Love it. Keep the great videos coming. TAO Philippines is my ultimate bucket list.
Thank you for sharing. Such beautiful scenes. I loved how you included the group in this video. You made sure to say “the group and I” or “we” and I appreciated that about this video. Stay safe and keep the content coming! For someone who travels a lot- you inspire me!
What a wonderful day of sun set
Great set of vids! Looks amazing. Filipino food is def some of the best food in the world if it's homecooked, or on this boat it seems! 😉
This is fantastic. I would have loved to do that . But at 69 years old it's not going to happen. Thanks for taking me with you ❤
Yes I think it was really a beautiful amazing experience ..
Your videos are amazing, I wish I could explore the beauty of the Philippines, too.
Wow you are so amazing and I hope you enjoy a lot of the tourist destination in the Philippines. It's more fun in the Philippines. ❤
Thanks!
Wow! I've lived here in the Philippines for thirty five years, and I've never been to some of the places that you have visited. All of your videos are outstanding, done in such a professional manner. Look forward to your next adventure. Thanks for sharing.
Great vlog again Paddy! If there’s one thing that needs to be put to rest, it’s the food quality in the Philippines. A lot of Thailand fan boys trash Philippines food but honestly you can get some epic food in Philippines! It’s maybe just not as widespread or consistent as Thailand etc as each region is quite different, Philippines is not a single culture like Thailand.
Well, the only edge of Thai food against Filipino food is that the Thai government supports and funds Thai restaurants outside of thailand. That is why they’re popular. Just as the Philippines has many islands, it has more and different cuisine. It’s not all pork and meat but even a wide assortment of veggie food. They’re not going to be in every vlog or blog post as the pork and meat varieties just get more media coverage than the veggie food.
True,about food, ,because every island of Phillippines has deffirent culture mixture, ,like the south of Mindanao, , foods are most close to Indonesia,Malay taste hot spicy, , in the bisayas region like Cebu are more European and hespanic,
@@lanieaguisanda6221 It's just that the Philippines has poor marketing of our food against the more global marketing machinery of Thailand. Not only that, being in the States for 20 years, I see more Thai-made products in supermarkets. That's because of their efficient shipping system. They don't have the logistical problem because it's not like the Philippines which has more than 7,600 islands, making it a logistical nightmare but on the upside, a more diverse cullture -- with yes, diverse cuisine still unheard of and not explored by 99% of vloggers. I remember the ingenuity of Bukidnon people for lechon paksiw -- the best I've taested anywhere, the laing of Bicol, the kalamay of Tarlac, the many coconut-based veggies. All foreigners know is that we have pork food, which we have perfected but they know little to nothing of the varieties. We even have our own ceviche in kinilaw. Even other Asians admit to how we've even outdone some Chinese food. Our porridge -- arrozcaldo is better than the Chinese porridge, the lumpia is better than egg roll. Please add Filipino food here that no one talks about.
the flavors and recipes are good, it's just the quality of the ingredients is often very bad. Also the American influence (way too much sugar) ruins the food. Filipinos need to stick to salty, sour, and spicy- the traditional flavors of Filipino food
When Thailand started becoming more popular, word got out that street food would be cheaper and delicious if they found out the local spots where most Thais would eat in. Popularity boosted competition.
Most people don't do that for the Philippines, partly because even the snobbish upper middle class deride the local karinderyas due to colonial mentality, so instead they direct people to the rather expensive restaurants serving the blandest versions of Filipino food while they themselves gorge on verious foreign cuisines that serve as status symbols.
What most foreigners and upper middle class Filipinos don't know is that in every ward in cities and small towns there is always 1 local karinderya that's flocked by everyone in that ward, the actual best places to sample good Filipino food outside of homecooking by the people themselves. I have yet to see a traveller to the Philippines visit those spots, outside Mark Wiens and the guy from BEFRS, maybe a few more who has done a Binondo tour.
The funny thing is, UN FAO data shows Filipinos eat more vegetables and fruit and less meat on average than most mainland SEAsians, especially compared to the Vietnamese but also Thais, but we're the ones who get bagged down by being a meat heavy cuisine, something very weird to hear from a Filipino who once preferred the meat and fry heavy Western cuisine as a kid compared to the more vegetable and seafood stew heavy Filipino cuisine I grew up with but learned to appreciate as I grew older. Even when people try out adobo, I found it quite weird to see all these foreigners eating adobo without vegetables in it when the adobo I grew up with has half its weight in potatoes or taro.
Part of me doesn't want to point that out tho, I think it's great that we can quietly enjoy that shockingly delicious tinola with tanglad, ginataang sinaing na tulingan, binagoongan, for so cheap in the local karinderya we have that few people will ever know. Gatekeeping feels good sometimes.
Hiya Paddy. Lovely you had some time out without a signal. To chill. Sleep to the sound of the waves, the best white noise.
For most people, the money spent on the trip is a lot of money.
I can imagine they were disappointed. Not to be staying at that beautiful campsite.
Fantastic next campsite. Dinner looked delicious.
Day 4. The wonky hut you climbed out from. 😁The beach. Wow. Paradise.
Your lunch on board the new boat. Made my mouth water.
You are a master of drone footage. Spectacular.
Shame about the jellyfish. The sunsets are insane. The Philippines has to be one of the best places in the world to snorkel or scuba.
Lechon. A celebration when this happens.
Day 5. Epic drone footage. Gorgeous. Camp Ngey Ngey. Wow.
The footage says it all. The food looked so good.
Always love your honesty. The lost boys. Love their name. The food on both boats looked so tasty. Good ideas for the trips to take in that it would have been good to chill at some places for a day. Love your content. Thank you for sharing. Can not wait to share these videos.
Glad you enjoyed it Nicky 🎉🎉🎉
I WATCHED BOTH VIDEOS OF THIS EXPERIENCED OF YOURS IN MY COUNTRY AND I AM THINKING NOW OF HAVING THIS JOURNEY ON MY BIRTHDAY IN NOVEMBER HOPEFULLY. IT'S FANTASTIC

Quality over quantity all day! Love the editing!
Stunning views rightly captured in this vlog! Btw your honest review at the end was really helpful. I hope TAO will consider them for improvements.
Amazing sceneries and experience!💗😍
I remember watching you make a video from your bedroom about how you were going to travel go every province in Thailand. Come a long way. Amazing video. The quality is epic now. You inspired me to go to Thailand and it was the best trip of my life. Maybe Philippines is next. Cheers Paddy!
Once again, thank you Paddy for this magnificent tour! The best vlog in the internet right now!

It looks like you are inside a beautiful postcard. The dog is also enjoying the views.
Thank you, for breaking it down of your tour
Thank you so much Paddy Doyle for the 2-part vlogs of your Tao Expedition! Highly informative, with candid, straightforward, constructive comments on organizational matters. All the best to your onward journeys.😀
What a beautiful day. One of the best place in phillipines ❤❤
it's really more fun in the Philippines!
If I did that - I wouldn't want to return! I'd want to stay foever!
Philippines is so beautiful places...
I am a FilAm. When I first came to America, I learned that many people like to live by the lake. I wondered what's the big deal about the lake. It finally dawned on me that people like to live close to the water. I have been to Hawaii but I have yet to see anything as beautiful as Palawan.
I would love to see and visit palawan ❤
I would be willing to pay $1,000 dollar for 6 days, in the best of nature and experience it offers. Once in a lifetime memories!
That dog is the real captain. Love your videos just amazing. You earned a subscriber
The quality of the videos you took are amazing
Philippines is really a Gold!🫰
Amazing, amazing, amazing! 😍
🙏🙏🙏
