Wow this was really comprehensive! I loved how you went from the map location than to the actual place. You even listed the gear you used in the description! My favorite video of yours so far
Hihi as a filipino, we didn't perceive paradise as an island. Or heaven as an tropical hot island with blue waters. Hihi we perceive heaven as clouds up there. So it's new and weird to us that our islands are heavenly. Thanks for that new insight 😊 much 💓 from cebu
Some Filipino's told me it was a paradise. It pretty common to describe something amazing as heavenly, even food (chocolate!). Anyhow we all see things differently. Bottom line is that Bantayan is amazing! Have you been there?
Bantayan is probably my favourite place in the Phils. Visited in 2010 and it looks like it’s really changed since then. It was so quiet when I went but the local expats were so friendly they’d come up to you and want to know all about you. I rented a motorbike and rode around the island. Very relaxing. Hopefully I’ll be back in the Philippines soon and get back to Bantayan. Thanks for the video.
I agree, love the place. I'm going to show about riding around the island in my next vid. Hopefully the Phils will open again sometime soon and you can see this amazing island again. Take care.
Thanks Leo. I got cut short of my Camotes last year because of COVID, so yes that still on my plans.... Are you getting any warm weather now in Finland?
@@FindingParadise Today 23 C after a very cold April...still missing our 2th home in Lapux2. Excited to follow 3. bridge CCLEX progress as it will shorten our way to Minglanilla and Toledo relatives so much! Take care and stay healthy!
I've been to this island once, and visited major towns on the island (apart from Sta. Fe) plus Virgin Island, but not elsewhere. Your videos continue to be first class: showing locations as they are, with an excellent mix of ground level and drone footage. Your commentary is terrific: interestingly factual, but not too 'gushy'. Great work.
I finally made it to Bantayan! I was so excited but then I realized it's one thing to get your information from the internet and another thing to see the place for yourself and make your own judgement and conclusion. In the resort where I stayed, the resort owner kept their beachfront clean but if you just take a short walk away from the place where I was booked, you will see large areas with plastic bags, cups, bottles, etcetera and even a diaper washed up on shore during low tide. I hope the locals living there and the government officials in charge does something about this. I feel bad not much effort is done to preserve the place. Personally, I find the port to be a distraction and an eyesore to be located so near a place where you want to spend vacation away from the city.
Yeah trash is a huge problem in the Phils. I have seen some places making improvements but it's still got a long way to go. I find it with the mindset of the poorer who just don't care. They will just throw their trash away without a worry in the world. I think it's a matter of just of educating them. I know a lot of Filipinos who do care and are proud of their beautiful islands. It's only a smaller group ruining it. When I visited many years ago I did see people going around collecting rubbish off the beach (not the resort's workers), not sure if they are still doing that. I would be interested to go back to Bantayan as it was 3 years ago I did those videos It was when pandemic was still on. There weren't many tourists travelling back then.
Grest video Rob watching it from rainy London, was in Bantayan three years ago loved it there so nice and laid back, wish i was there now drinking a mango shake... Amazing Philippines hope to see you soon💙
Ah hope all that sunny weather didn't make you too jealous! Actually I'm still on the island. You can notice the seasons changing. The afternoons it can bucket down with rain for 10 mins or so, then sunny again. A few weeks ago it was just blue skys. Still paradise for me. Mango shakes are waiting for you!
@@FindingParadise Rob what’s the situation with regards to tourists being allowed back kinda hard getting news over here,I got stuck in Romblon last year at the start off pandemic not a nice experience I can tell ya.Do you reckon it will be this year? I’ve travelled around world for over 25 years m8 and I’ve gotta say Philippine s is my number 1,people stunning beach’s breathtaking.Just miss it so much,keep the videos coming m8 love um🥭
The government has been keeping coy of late, earlier on in the year they were saying how the 2nd half of the year thousands of tourists would be back. They have gone quiet of late. There have been setbacks, the daily number of cases has got worse than better, new strains of the virus. It seems to point more likely next year. I saw this article - kinda shows even regional goverments are in the dark as to what Manila is thinking. newsinfo.inquirer.net/1425035/mayor-seeks-entry-of-vaccinated-foreigners-to-lapu-lapu-city. Who knows maybe vaccinated tourists maybe the first to be allowed to enter. I have been monitoring here but there hasn't really been a lot of news out of the government.
Just discovered your page and kudos to you!!! Great contents; very detailed and very informative. Thanks for loving Philippines especially Bantayan Cebu! 🙌🏻
Im actually back on the island for a couple more weeks. Had to go to Mandaue renew my visa and go to dentist. The weather is slowly changing, bit of rain now. Humidity going up a bit, the red horse helps though! Still paradise! Hope you enjoy it, cheers
Cheers. I stayed in Bantayan for a couple months, I was out filming nearly every day and I didn't get time to edit. Im actually back for a couple more weeks. I can already see there's a change in the weather now. It can bucket down in rain for 10 mins and then sunny again.When I was here a few weeks back, it was just blue sky. Hopefully I can get the next one out sooner.
@@FindingParadise I’m retiring in Dauin in January 2022. I stayed at Jelly’s Haven right before the pandemic 2020 & had a great time there, great service & at a great price. Love Bantayan & can’t wait to get back over there. Aloha!
@@FindingParadise I’ve been diving since 1973 when I was 13 hrs old with my dad. Last year I snorkeled with my wife’s family around Romana Alar Beach, Pura Vida Resort, Antulang Resort & Apo Island last year, but will be diving when I come back in 2022. It’s so beautiful under the water out there.
No worries. I originally planned to stay 3 weeks but it extended for 3 months. I really loved the place and did a few vlogs around that amazing island.
@@FindingParadise 18 things to do in santa fe ? haha .lets see the bech , the cliff, the mangrove walk , eat drink annnd thats about it . oh yeh the lagoon .another beach . well it now has a bar there . so beach/drink catergory but oh lala christine is a hot hotty
My filipina wife has relatives who live in Bantayan Island. I've been there a few times myself since 2005. A lot of people flock to the Island during Holy Week (Palm Sunday to Easter Sunday), around March or April, when school kids are on summer break
I agree. This video somewhat sticks out from all the recent videos out here of Bantayan Island. We just went there during the Holy Week, 6 days and 5 nights. Bantayan waters are its biggest attraction, clear and clean and turquoise. The only place we missed to visit was Baigad Lagoon from too much time spent in Virgin Island. But definitely another reason to go back again and again. Thanks for the great video Rob. God bless. Next time, you should do waterfalls hopping in South Cebu as most waterfalls now are open again fo walk-in visitors.
Cheers Giorgio. Holy week you usually get fantastic weather too. Virgin island you can easily get stuck there for the whole day. The waterfalls are definitely worth looking into, thanks.
@@FindingParadise I found it OK, but one of the tricks is to depart at 0700 or even earlier if one can from Cebu City because this helps to minimise the city traffic the bus must battle. Depart at say 1000 and with the shopping malls open, even though in theory one is travelling 'against the traffic', the bus can be forced to slow to a crawl for many kilometres. The roadside toilet stop is from what I recall pretty basic. I also like to sit near the front of the bus as those seats can have a bit more legroom, as seat pitch on public transport in Asia can be uncomfortable for taller Westerners.
Love your videos so informative dream finally come true booked yesterday will be there April 2024 family of 4 ,2 teenagers should I bring my own snorkeling gear? Thanks again been watching your videos for the last 2years😂👍Merry Christmas from Perth Australia
Thanks for that! Hope you have an awesome trip. Depends if it's not too inconvenient to carry in your bags If you can I'll bring your own snorkeling gear. If not it's not the end of the world though. Generally I find the tour groups use cheap crap. Merry Christmas as well, hope you have a great one.
Thanks for that, appreciate it. I'm sure you'll love the island. It's my favorite in Cebu. I did some other vlogs on accommodation if you need help on that side of things. Enjoy paradise ✨️
@@FindingParadise sure , we wish you can help us arrange our travel in the future. can you suggedt the best month when the sea is calm . and who can help us to arrange the travel without hidden charges.
@@cocarol5478 thanks. I don't arrange travel. I'm just a blogger. There are some contacts in my description. I dyi travel. I book the hotels myself it will save you money. I have a contact whom I use to do day trips or rent a scooter in Bantayan.
Yeah I put a lot of work into it. I wanted to make it informative and helpful for tourists. I just released another video on accommodation options in Bantayan.
Is it nice for a single guy in his 50s not looking for barging but nice to hang out so your not alone walking the beautiful beach I can do that in Florida lol but we’ll done my friend
Yes it is! There's a number of nice places on the beach to stay and eat. Florida is more expensive to do that 😉Next time you come to Cebu you should put it on your list of places to visit with your mrs.
From Cebu you don't. All you need is a qr code which the hotel/resort emails you once you have booked . On arrival they just test you temp at the pier and that's all.
My friend when youre eating seafoods like that its better you brink a liitle bit of beer or licquor. to neatralise just in case that may cause youre digestion disturbed
If you are referring to weather, all I can is what generally what happens. What it was previous Januarys may not like this January. The last couple of years have been more wet than usual who knows what it will be next January. From previous times its been generally ok. When it rains its normally not the huge downpours that you get in October. There’s been an El Nino forming in the Pacific recently which usually means drier conditions to be expected It’s really too hard to predict weather just go and enjoy your holiday
Hey, thanks for the video!!! I was there several days...looking forward to another visit when we can get back in there from the USA. Where did you stay the 2 months you were on Bantayan? I was blessed to visit several of the places you did in this video!!!! Keep up the great work!!!! What's you facebook page.....
Thanks Sammy. I'm actually still here at the moment. I actually stayed 30+ resorts and hotels. Actually worn out from packing and unpacking. One of my upcoming vids is about where to stay and I want to give 1st hand experiences. Not just a copy and paste or link to Agoda. Hopefully the hard work will be worth it in the end!
Our plan is to move there soon and retire, wife is from Cebu and we love it there, our favorite place in all the Philippines.
Retire in Bantayan island? Yeah I love it too, it's the one place I keep coming back to. Making this video I spend 2 months here.

They do kiteboarding. I'm pretty sure that's in my part 3 video

From Cebu you don't. All you need is a qr code which the hotel/resort emails you once you have booked . On arrival they just test you temp at the pier and that's all.

It is. I did my top 10 resorts in Bantayan here ruclips.net/video/GU9Gr3O79Nc/видео.html . You'll be able to see the differences there,

One of my upcoming vids is about where to stay and I want to give 1st hand experiences. Not just a copy and paste or link to Agoda. Hopefully the hard work will be worth it in the end!
Im not so good with my fb posts! I post more pics in my Instagram account paradise_shack.
