- BOHOL PHILIPPINES FIRST IMPRESSION! 🇵🇭
Bohol, Philippines is known for the chocolate hills, tarsiers, and stunning beaches, but I was not expecting this in Bohol. After spending only one day in Bohol, Philippines, I have realized that it has the full package. This video from Cebu to Bohol, Philippines shows the ferry ride then a quick shuttle to Panglao and Alona beach.

Thanks for watching!!
hi Jonathan. when traveling alone anywhere here in the Philippines, especially the tourist spots, you must gear up yourself with lots of knowledge on how to avoid those people trying to take advantage of you being a foreigner in making the fare higher than usual, as much as possible do not entertain those people who come towards you and offering assistance because the reason behind that is for them to get more from you. it is always best to have a Filipino local that you can trust in communicating with them because a lot of them are trying to earn more in a dirty way. just a piece of advice. enjoy your tour.
This is true if you are in or within the city destination. However, if in the province, taxis going out of the city will charge more as they need to compensate the gas they have to use going in back to the city. They will have no passenger when they go back to the city.
While it is true you need to be street wise to get the lowest prices, after a time intravelling i found paying the least is not always the best.
These people are living in pretty low conditions and paying more is like helping them.
Paying a little more to a foreigner is just a little bit to them it is a lot. A difference between going to bed hungry vs full stomach
or
Being able to pay for a months medicine or suffering without.
Many times I choose to not haggle the cheapest and feel low looking back when I denied a poor person a little more income when it could mean so much more to them that you would never know about.
SOME PEOPLES TRAVEL WITH A BUDGET SPECIALLY IF YOU Don’t HAVE EXTRA INCOME AND RELYING ON YOU TUBE SALARY, IF THEY Don’t HAVE VIEWS They Don’t HAVE MONEY Either … SPECIALLY IF YOU A FOREIGNERS ITS SCARY IF YOU Don’t HAVE ANY MONEY COZ NO ONE Or NOBODY GIVE YOU STUFF FOR FREE…. ✌️🙌✌️💕🇺🇸
@@piacash5216 But having and relying on RUclips is still far better as it is a royalty, income without working once the initial work is done. You merely need to cut expenses and wait till you recharge from the RUclips income streams.
Living in poverty without any secure royalty income is much more desperate.
With RUclips royalty you get sick, the money still gets paid to you.
In a 3rd world country selling walking on the street when you get sick, no sick leave, no insurance (esp in poor nations) and without income you go without food on top of your illness.
If you think traveling on a budget is tough give a spare thought to those you come across not even travelling yet struggling to survive.

Stay smart, Jonathan. See how some people seem to be so friendly at first when they're already starting to take advantage of you, especially if you're a foreigner (from a P700 fare to P400? wow). Don't ever be shy to say no. Stay safe and enjoy exploring. 🙂
Yeah! I never take the first price
I remember a Thai blogger who recently went to the Philippines, he was savage in haggling down the prices like he would automatically haggle it down to 20 to 50 percent of the asking price and he wins all the time, he haggles much better than a local Filipino.
@@marikitliwayway6703 is it Megrim? 🙂
i saw that vlogger tai, to much to negotiated than the locals. inaayawan sya ng mga drivers hahaha!😅
@@marikitliwayway6703 backpaeger yung thailand vlogger...
Welcome back home to the beloved COUNTRY PHILIPPINES GOD BLESS YOU TAKE CARE OF YOURSELF
Thank you!!
This is what i like to see😇 you travelling husling on buses talking to locals like this kinda raw vlog makes your viewer there with you also they can see the process and transports to believe it or not, not all Filipinos travels usually financial but travel videos like this makes them experience and see to process, the hussle and the view of the places....😇 Keep it up
Thanks! That’s true, and even if they do travel much, local Filipinos probably don’t have the same experience as a foreigner while using transportation, so this shows a did dent experience
Just dont travel if u dont have money
I was just there a couple of weeks ago. So nice. Love Bohol. Glad you're back in the Phils. Have fun brother.
I love it too so far!
I really love to go back to Bohol❤ Balicasag island is amazing, I know you’re not a beach person but seeing the fishes and turtles makes it worth it. Just enjoy every island in the Philippines sir Jonathan 😍❤️🇵🇭
Hi Jonathan. It’s nice talking to Pinoys. Most of them can help you negotiate but just be prudent.
Hi Jonathan, great to see that you are in Bohol. What a beautiful evening you had at the beach with the sunset and colorful sky. I heard one blogger describe the Tarsiers as a cross between a monkey and a Alien. It really fits them well with their big eyes to hunt insects at night. Enjoy your time in Bohol. Looking forward to seeing your upcoming videos of your stay there.
Hahah.. it does seem like a monkey and an alien! I can’t wait to see them! Yes, We have had some beautiful sunsets here!
Just a note for all visiting the Philippines. Always spend a little more on ferry tickets. First class or open air etc.. I was on a ferry from Surigao City to Siargao Island (not as nice as the ferry he was on) and purchased a standard ticket... we found ourselves deep down in the boat. As you probably know, every once in a while a ferry catches on fire -or goes down, so having that easy access to offload if needed might just save your life.
💯
You're more Filipino now, You knew the drill on how to make and get something on cheaper price rage 💪🏼
💪
As Filipino who has lived in Manila for more than 30 years, visiting Bohol for the first time for vacation really made me realize how busy and stressful Manila is. Bohol has a very special place in my heart and would go back as soon as possible.
So glad I found your channel.
heyyy welcome aboard!
Awesome! This is my next destination. Have been planning this for 2weeks now...Thank you.
Nice. Visiting Bohol is in my bucket list. Hopefully soon. Thanks for showing Alona Beach on YT. Stay safe and God bless.
You don’t look like a toad with your helmet Jonathan. What matter is you’re handsome. Enjoy your stay at the beautiful island of Bohol. You’ll never regret in choosing Bohol. Boholanos(people of Bohol) are trustworthy, honest, kind and nice people. Amping.(meaning take care in Bisayan dialect)
😂 thank you!
You actually look like Bumble Bee (from Transformers) hehe. Everyone loves the bee.
Jollibee😂
We were just in Bohol! We loved it there! We are traveling around the philippines. We did Cebu, Bohol, El Nido, and now doing Manila! Love the video by the way ❤️
Hello Jonathan keep going I'm sure you will have a successful life here in Philippines with our support..Goodluck and Godbless
hahaha finally! just finished watching your Philippines vlogs. I've been waiting fir this! thank you, makes me really feel relaxed when I watch your vids. ♥️🌞🌴
That’s awesome to hear! Thank you for following along!
Jonathan, your channel gained 25K subscribers after your PHILIPPINES series videos,congratulations

Don't worry you look fine Jon! Nice vlog featuring Bohol been there once in Panglao, hope you had a great time, enjoy! Tcare, stay safe ☺️👍🖐️
You are right Jonathan, there are 7,100 islands in the Philippines. Also in the Philippines we speak 32 dialects. The national language is Tagalog. I love to watch your videos Jonathan & I'm 79 years old.
Just got home from school, watching now💅
Almost fell for this scam😭 omg
I miss my home province Bohol thank to visit there
Be wise , and always careful,
Few Filipino mindset if you're American, you have many money, or rich ...
Take care & enjoy Philippines...
I'm proud here from Bohol...loved my Province, Its beautiful & quite place 💖👍💖
I’m from Bohol. Good thing you are smart
Jonathan Good to see you in our hometown.Hope your having a great time..Keep safe.
U may want to see the other side of Panglao- Anda which they call the new Boracay.
Stayed at Hayahay on the beach a few times in the last 5 yrs....not fancy but nice, I didn't go there to stay in my room, Lol....lots to see, have fun :) btw, my profile pic is me riding a scooter there :)
Jonathan goes road to 50 k🙂🇵🇭👍
Hopefully!
Hello Admin Jonathan! Thank you for taking the time to share places in The Philippines 🇵🇭 … You’re way to handsome to look like a toad from Mario Cart 😂…. Please extra careful . Going to watch your next video of the Chocolate Hills , Tarsier and Beaches in Bohol …. The resorts you are staying is really nice . Careful of mosquitoes ( hope you bring mosquito net ) , “Dengue” is common in a tropical country …
Now we're talking. I'm amazed how well you bargain. Wow!
Tarsiers are pronnounced as "tar shears" in plural form and "tar shear" in singular. Love your videos Mr. Jonathan! Keep doing what you love because you are spreading joy and positivity, thank you for the contents!💯
Bohol is so fun and beautiful! Do try to get a kayak tour to see the fireflies!!
I have been thinking Bohol might be a good place to live. Also looking at Camiguin Island as well.. Thanks for all.. I'll keep watching Be safe!
Hello Jonathan nice to see that you've reach one tourist destination Bohol. Just keep yourself safe always.
Bro beware of the driver who are scammers . And even vendors too. Any where now in this world u can't avoid this situations. I know ur smart enough to handle the situations. Always stay safe and Godbless you anywhere u are! Mabuhay!
We alway's watch your Vlog with my American Husband Enjoy Philippines We always watch you in our Smart Tv
When I went to Bicol about 6 years ago, I rented a chauffeured van for the whole day for just P1000 including tip. That’s $20 more or less.
Yes! Finally, Bohol. Hope i could visit it someday. But for now, i'm quite happy watching others, especially foreigners, be amazed and enjoy our country.
Btw, when you get back to Cebu, hope you also go see Osmeña Peak, which i read a blogger call "the deformed cousin of Chocolate Hills", lol. Seriously though, I think Osmeña Peak has it's own unique beauty. And of course there are still so many attractions in Cebu to see. But for now, i'm excited to see Bohol through your beautiful blue eyes. NAKS! lol.
I’m excited to explore Bohol too! Hopefully you can as well! In one of my videos I tried to go to osmena, but I saw rían. It’s the video about my flip flop breaking and the karaoke on the beach 😂
love your country, im going back!
@@theghostoftravel 😊
That is smart , keep wise and always find out how much is the normal fare price before going somewhere,so you have an idea of the actual price and they can't take advantage of you being a tourist..keepsafeand enjoy the Philippines.
aww I think you've got a cold bro. Hope you are feeling better now
It’s actually gotten worse. Past two days I haven’t done any excursions, just stayed home drinking water and resting. So videos will be delayed, unfortunately
You'll get better around your way about transportation but always be cautious around you
Nice one Jonathan, enjoy!
Haha, Swedish massage , I'm swedish and I've never had that. That nightlife though, looked awesome and the beach , awsome place you chose
Jonathan, Thank you for the tip on taxis. I am leaving for a first international trip of my life. A trip to the Philippines in a week or so.
Enjoy there in my beloved country Philippines 👍🇵🇭 From Fil-Am here in L.A.
Have not been in Bohol.. thanks for this video I must go to Bohol one of these days. Keep safe when you travel
Enjoy sir and keepsafe.
Thanks! Will do!
Waiting for more travel vlogs from you. Enjoy the Philippines!
Hi Jon if you are still in Panglao I recommend you try snorkeling in Balicasag Island.
Thanks for logging your taxi experience! Haha I'm noting all the tips and prices down for our Feb visit.
Bohol was amazing! I hope you get to check out Balicasag Island. I haven’t traveled tons but my best snorkeling experience to date was there.🙌🏻
That’s the small circular island right? If so, I’m definitely going there!
That’s the one 👍!
Balicasag Island. If you go there very early in the morning, you canjoin a group tour for dolphin watching with occasional whales.
Yes - that’s right, I remember the same. Plus, a short stop at the “Virgin Island” sand bar 👍
My favorite channel for now thanks for making a wonderful videos with our place / country thank you for loving us
Kinda raw vlog jonathan. It seems that were traveling also. ❤️❤️❤️
I never know if viewers prefer raw or edited… I went with more raw in this one
@@travelescapesOFFICIAL i think most of the viewer wants a raw vlog. Hehehehe more natural and realistic 😊😊😊
Yeheyy you feature two of resort i been working for before to the Lost Horizon & the isis Thai restaurant ❣️🎊👌
alona beach is my favorite stretch of beach in all the world. it isnt the most high end, it isnt the most scenic, it isnt the prettiest, but it is far and away the NICEST beach ive ever been to. the locals are the best, the business owners are the best, the tourists are the best (a very chill, family-friendly beach, instead of a party beach)... its just super pleasant, and i cant wait to get back there, hopefully early next year.
if you get a chance, take a boat to some of the smaller islands off the coast of alona, there are some virgin beaches that are ABSOLUTELY AMAZING and should not be missed... oh oh oh and dont miss the lady fingers in baclayon, theyre famous for them, if you take an island tour, just tell your driver, he will know where to go...
also, if you make it to CDO, take an extra day to pass through iligan city and get the very best lechon in all the phils (right across the street from timoga/mimar spring resorts), and make the hike to tinago falls. no kidding, you will be struck dumb at the sight of it. nearly brought me to tears. not easy to get to, but... worth the trip. if you go, reply and ill connect you with some people you can trust to take you around...
@THE POWER OF BLUEBERRIES and WHIPPED CREAM hey, different strokes for different folks. thankfully there are enough beaches to go around for all of us :)
I’ve been there, it is really beautiful and enjoyable
What's good, Jonathan? Chicago-born Filipino-American here who's been all around the world but not yet to the Philippines. I'm going solo for a month next year. Your content is the only one I'm really watching, and it's strongly influencing my planned itinerary. Keep it up man, great work, and congrats on your growing success with your channel.
Welcome to our island of Bohol. Enjoy all the local treats and Alona beach ⛱️ 😎
Hey jon im a fil-Am but now living in Chicago I always watching ur vlog very nice in PHILIPPINES hah good job go bama go!
Thank you Jonathan, I will be there in Bohol tomorrow and your video gave me a lot of ideas even if I am a Filipino I still need this as I love to travel around the Philippines :)
Desperate for puti? Haha pathetic
I learned something from you. Never take the first person to offer. Always the highest price. I will remember this tip to next time I travel. My father always tells me. "There are good people and not so good people everywhere." Always be wise and careful. I have never been to Bohol, but I checked out some of the places to visit, which were terrific. The Choco hills, Tarsier, Dimiao Twin waterfall, Hinagdanan cave, River paddle boarding, Bamboo hanging bridge, and Loboc river cruise are among the popular to visit. Enjoy.
Welcome to my hometown province of Bohol❤️Enjoy and have fun your vacation 😊
Thank you for showing, iam also from Bohol, you may visit to Anas Badiang Spring, Resorts,in valencia Bohol
Heading toward jagna Bohol. You may ask people there. Take care,
Enjoy Bohol !
Well done Jonathan! That's an exciting place. Stay safe & enjoy!🏖
Thank you Jonathan, I never been to Bohol, thank you for the travelling tips especially the transportation and it's charges, I will plan to go there
I hope it was helpful! Thanks for watching!
hi.....new subscriber working here at hongkong China ...from Northern Philippines....keep safe and enjoy bro.I
Hey man hope everything is working out for you. Can't wait to go back to Asia in July. Not looking forward to Canadian winter.
Oh yeah, definitely head this way during Canadian winter! It’s brutally cold up there
Pwede ba mga pinoy huwag kayong mangloko ng mga turista ibigay ninyo legal at nararapat na byahe kayo ang dahilan kung minsan mga turista nawawala kasi sobra kayong mag charge...Jonathan message for those people who asking you over charge.Its rather to ask tourist information center ok enjoy and have fun..
Naku...mga BBM at DDS yang mga manlolokong yan...Pati ...history ...niloloko...
binabago...
Nag ma mahjong faw si Cory nung kasagsagan ng Kuh Ledesma...i mean..Kuh Daytah..
I would not know how to haggle when it comes to cheaper rides. Kudos to you! Haha
I’ll be in Philippines next week cannot wait to try the local food! 😊
Hi Jonathan! Stop by Loboc there’s more fun things to do and explore aside from the tarsier and river cruise. I enjoyed paddle boarding the last time over there. Watching from NC🇺🇸
I always smile when people interact with you offerring you some sales and then you're caught and you always say No. Sales and promotions don't disturb you .. Good job... Just be careful on some too good to be true offers. 😉
Hahah, I’m very used to sales as I’ve lived outside the US for so many years. It’s just a part of my daily life as a traveler 😂
HEY,MAN IM YOUR NEW SUBSCRIBER ..THANKS FOR YOUR NICE VIDEO..IM FROM BOHOL ,PHILIPINES HAVE A NICE TRIP 👍👍👍
Hi Jonathan ☺️ enjoy your day and stay safe ❤️
Hi jonathan! Welcome to bohol! Im from bohol.
Thank you!
Alona beach is where I stayed when I was there. Best place to stay IMO. Obv your next video is going to be about chocolate hills I guess
You content is authentic, local interaction 🙂
Doesn’t matter how you look because it’s for your safety. You have beautiful heart anyway. Watch many of your videos the last one is kitten rescue..😊 thanks a lot for visiting our country ❤
check out candijay rice terraces and can -umantad falls, two hidden gems beside each other, you will not regret it!!
Hi Jonathan,sir that helmet is a protection for any kind of accidents,keep on enjoying your adventure in Bohol
Just beautiful I've been there 12 times and stayed in hotels and with Filipino friends home
Hi Jonathan, if you are planning to stay on a quiet place near the Loboc River, I highly recommend Loboc River Resort. Very serene place 😊
Wow, that place is beautiful
Jonathan wow proud of you, just mentioned that you are from Alabama correct me if I'm wrong. We are from Alabama too.. welcome to Philippines. Congrats enjoy and have a great time in bohol. Try to go to camiguin Island 2 hours boat ride. Camiguin Island is small lots of beautiful spots too.
Yeah I’m from Alabama! You can get to camiguin from here?!? I definitely want to go if I can. Thank you!
@@travelescapesOFFICIAL yes you can, go to Jagna peir then boat ride to camiguin Island. My hubby and I will be there. Enjoy & have a great time. Keep it in mind they have a tight protocols..good luck
@@frances3517 oh awesome thank you!
Hey Peeps, I know your intentions are good but hold your horses. Jonathan is well travelled, smart, respectful, and polite with his dealings. I am a newsubscriber and has viewed several of his videos that is why I have a bit of an opinion of him. He is doing just fine.
Hi jonathan, if you are still in bohol. Try going to canawa cold spring in candijay, alicia panoramic park, danao adventure park, anda white beach, Tsedi highland and bayview park in mabini, there are a lot to explore here in bohol :) I hope you enjoy your vacation here and don't forget to watch for those people trying to take advantage of you, specially trike drivers.
Pls. report this channel for impersonating Jonathan.
I almost fell for this scam😭
I remember I took a jeepney going to Panglao much cheaper but that van is more convenient though.
Great video. Thanks for showing us all the great places. How do you compare Bohol and Mactan’s beach and facilities/activities along the beach?
Nice to see you back...now your in Bohol.
Love that Ayala Mall - and Bohol is one of my favorite Island 🙏🙏🙏
Yes, Panglao has the best “nightlife” in Bohol. The beach where you were just strolling is called Alona Beach. If you ever go back there, get yourself a massage along the beach. It’s the most soothing, relaxing feeling after having a long day, and not to mention how inexpensive the cost for an hour massage!!! 😁😁😁
Hi Jonathan, try visiting Bee Farm while you are in Panglao Island....enjoy !
Wow nice to see bohol again.i been there last 2011 its a nice place since before and now still amazing beaches.enjoy ur stay there jonathan but also keep safe.god bless
Yess! Maybe 2010 or 2011 weve gone there in panglaw. But few bisniz establishment thst time.
@@robertbondoc852 yes true
enjoy
Thank you !
If you are still staying in bohol and looking to try a more hostelesque accommodation, look up Homestay de Bai in Baclayon, Bohol. The hosts will be more than happy to fill you in on what is good around the island
I'm so living for videos like this! Seeing the whole process of traveling. Kudos to you! Have you tried using a duffle bag for your travel? I recommend using the Bento Bag from Nomad Lane. I've been using this bag for months now and it is such a hack. It has a trolley sleeve feature and it fits under the seat too! makes your travel more convenient and effortless and it packs like a suitcase too!
Enjoy Bohol... Don't forget to visit anda. Anda is so underrated in bohol but its a spot you shouldn't missed... ANDA, CANDIJAY and neighboring spots. Bohol also is where you can witness the rarest SALT in the world. try search it.
