How Difficult is Hiking Mt Apo? THE HIGHEST PEAK IN THE PHILIPPINES 🇵🇭
HTML-код
- Опубликовано: 30 апр 2022
- We went hiking to Mt. Apo via Bansalan Trail last April 2022 and it was really difficult! I have hiked many high peaks before and I would rate this as one of my top 3 more tiring hikes.
If you are looking to hiking Mt Apo via Bansalan Trail, here is a video of our experience. We hope this can give you an insight on our trip!
Hiking to Mt Apo would have been a lot more difficult if it wasn't done with good friends!

Don't miss Part 2 of our Mt Apo hike!! The million dollar question is: Did we make it up to the summit?? ruclips.net/video/HbFQSOd1VTw/видео.html
paano magpabook?
Subscribed!!!! I want to hike Mt Apo next year and this video just gave me the motivation to keep training and climbing. Thank you for sharing your journey with us! We love strong women!!!!
Oh yey! I’m sure you can do it! It’s definitely a great milestone to achieve and we’re excited for you 😍
An intense yet rewarding hike! Thanks for taking us along.
It was definitely an intense hike! Especially with the mud, it just added to the challenge. Thanks for watching our vlog to Mt Apo! Part 2 coming soon :)
Great job gals. I could never do that. My chunky self would roll down the hill. I wish u both the best in ur travel. Much love from Colorado. 🥰
I’m sure you can! Lots of people still do it as a milestone but just take longer.. and that’s possible. And with all the mountains in Colorado I’m sure your legs are well trained already :)
Anyway thank you!! We were happy we went through with this trip :) Definitely won’t attempt the longer trails hehehe
That's a difficult hike! Well done girls 💪👏
Thank you Meredith! I'm sure this would be achievable for you too :)
Yey! Congratulations in conquering mt apo 😍🎉

phillipines is the best hiking spot talaga and every hiking dont forget essential like water, casino ethyl alcohol active and more
Thank you for watching our vlog in Mt Apo.
Thanks for sharing! i really miss this Mountain!
It’s one for the memory bank but I’m not sure if I want to go back! It was so tiring 😅
@@TheTravellingFoxes yah I agree, OK lang sa ako basta di malimtan ang Tanguay rum 🤣. Climbed that Mt. Four times early 90s , maau nalang I managed to find few pictures. Too bad there was no gopro and drone during that time 😆.
wowwww, love it!take care & more power. God bless
Thank you for watching our vlog!
I saw your video climbing Mt. Kinabalo, so I guess you can climb Apo even in one day. Many hikers have been doing the dayhike. 👍🏽👍🏽
I have tried to climb it dayhike in this same trail, Bansalan trail. It was way harder for me bcoz I didnt have enough exercise before the climb...
But you're way stronger and more fit than me. So I can say you can dayhike this mountain, too.
I love watching this video. It reminds me of my journey. Climbing Mt Apo via Bansalan trail is tough ..😅
Keep conquering mountains Lernie! You should also try Mt Pulag one day, its not difficult but theres a beautiful view :)
Thank you again for watching our vlog in Mt Apo.
Love these girls, walang arte! grabe Pang malakasan😘
Thank you KD! Haha no space to be arte on the mountain. Salamat po! Take care :)
that was very exciting part ♥️🥺
Bansalan Trail was very difficult for us!! Hope you can tune in to part 2 for the summit hike this Thursday :)
Hats off to you guys!
Thank you Jerry!! Appreciate the feedback! :)
Wow looks amazing
Hi! Thank you for dropping by The Travelling Foxes channel and watching our Mt Apo vlog :) More hiking vlogs in the channel! Enjoy!
Hi May I know what back pack you use? Hard to decide for women’s back pack as it is sooo limited. Thanks
Hello guys, may I ask what are the brand and model of your shoes? And for anyone who read this, what shoes are the most appropriate for this kind of terrain. Thank you.
Can we just apreciatte that this video is posted 5 months ago and they still reply to comments . Keep up the good work new subscriber here 😊
Aww, thank you! Welcome to the channel 😄
I am so jealous with the trail.. It's not as muddy as it was when we went to Mt.Apo just last year after the downfall of Typhoon Odette.. Imagine!!! Hahaha
Oh wow! I don't want to imagine as a flash rain for us was already very difficult to hike through Bansalan trail haha.
Thanks for doing this video! Planning to go there next year, do you have a good hiking company to recommend?
Hi, sorry for the late reply! You can find the guide here, his name is Anjo from Team Explorer. facebook.com/groups/TEAM.EXPLORER/

Good job ladies. We already finished Dulang Dulang. Apo in September. 😁
Wow! How was Dulang Dulang? Curious to know how you would compare it with Mt Apo 😄 Let us know and good luck!
Love it!!! Although when you said “hopefully not the last” it’s a big lie 🤣 It’s not an easy hike for sure!!

Welcome po to the channel!! We have many more fun hiking/camping vlogs in the channel. Thanks for watching our Mt Apo adventure :)
Never been hike for 3 years now and were planning to trek mt apo next month. Can you advice what could be or necessary preps before the trek? What brand of shoes you advice? The last time I climbed mountain during our mission, I used to wear "bota" or boot shoes same with the one wearing by the locals and yeah, I like it, rain or shine! ❤
Hi Donna! OOhhh an exciting adventure ahead!! We have a vlog on what to bring to Mt. Apo. Please note and only bring what you feel is necessary based on our suggestions :) ruclips.net/video/rZj5g21cFng/видео.html

Hi. What trail is this?
It's I can see the trivia years ago that Mt. Apo is the place located between Davao City and Davao Del Sur ⛰️❤🇵🇭
Oh thanks for the trivia Reger!! We've not very good with geography hehehe
Hello traveling Foxes, any plans of doing backpacking in kasmir great lakes?
Love your adventures.wandering if you allow to join your group if you decide to do it??
Hello Travelling Foxes, We've been there in 2021 and it's still a pandemic, the same bansalan trail and it's really beautiful, we plan to go back and climb Mt.Apo via the Santa Cruz trail ☺️ Hope we can make it☺️
Would you know if Santa Cruz trail is generally harder or easier? Excited to see your adventures :)
What's the name of your travel agency, please?
Wow i wish i can hike mt. Apo :) but im scared hehehe ..
Hi Marielle, don’t be scared I am sure you can do it! If you think it may be too long a distance, there is always the 3-day option.
Hi there. I would like to ask if there are any travel pass requirements? thanks
Hello! I don’t think there is anymore now, but you need to get a guide so they can help out with the permits for the climb.
Hello guys, best regards💙
Hello po, thank you for watching the vlog of us climbing Mt Apo. We have many other hikes around the Philippines in our channel and we hope you can check it out :)

Hello sa inyu, how much mga ngastos nyu sa pagakyat nyu dito s APO? where planning din kc with my friends.
Hello! It depends how many you are but you can message Anjo from Team Explorer on Facebook:)
facebook.com/groups/TEAM.EXPLORER
What’s the best shoes for hiking to mt.apo? Waterproof and mid cut or non-waterproof, low cut and lighter weight?
Hello! Waterproof and boots style because the mud can reach up to your ankles. And because its a long hike, its better to have shoes that protect your ankles in case fatigue kicks in and your stepping gets clumsier (happens to me anyway in long hikes).
Shoes reco?
Hi I from Malaysia !
Can I check with you how you guys plan for this whole trip coz I can’t find any agencies to book through this tour.
Hi! If you are coming from Malaysia, you need to fly directly to Davao International Airport. Book any hotel there and the tour will start from there.
My guide is Anjo Dorado from Team Explorer. You can contact him from his Facebook page:
facebook.com/groups/TEAM.EXPLORER/
Hope this helps :)
@@TheTravellingFoxes thanks 😄it help a lot🤗
Do you need a tour guide for this? Or can you hike by using gps map? Does staying over night required? Since its only 9 miles is day hike possible?
Hi! You will need a tour guide as they will apply for permits ahead of time. There are also different trails to take so you can advise your tour guide which one you want to take.
This is the tour group we used for Mt Apo: facebook.com/groups/TEAM.EXPLORER
@@TheTravellingFoxes but is tour guide required? I have done a lot of hike just using AllTrails. I’ve done Mt. Whitney a day. Im curious if tour guide is necessary.
I have a newly found respect for hikers. Climb up a hill last month and almost died.
Yes it’s not as easy as it looks! Good job for trying though!
how much did you spend for that whole hike or package?😊
Hi there! We contacted a certified guide from Davao called Team Explorer. It depends on the package/trail you get but it was Php6,600 per person for 2 days including some meals in the campsite :)
I like
Thank you for watching our hike in Mt. Apo!
Im here because I wanted to go there and do my cooking vlog 😁
haha! Were you able to go to Mt Apo already?
New subscriber here!
Thanks for subscribing Joven! And for checking out our video on Mt Apo. Part 2 which covers the summit will be out this Thursday 😄
🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇵🇭🇵🇭🇵🇭 *I do enjoy hiking. My most difficult hike was about 15 years ago when my brother and I hiked up to YOSEMITE NATIONAL PARK’s HALF DOME here in California*. *The one thing I do NOT like about hiking in the wilderness is when you have to answer the CALL OF NATURE!*. *Taking a dump (pardon me) al fresco is no fun*. *Then, there is the absence of running water*. *There is a joke: bring your ANTI-MONKEY BUTT OINTMENT*. 🥴 *Some people develop this condition (red and itchy butt) even with wet wipes* *Hope you ladies were fine* *CHEERS FROM CALIFORNIA!* 🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸
Oh yes, completely agree with you! In Mt Apo, we literally have to go take a dump in any bushy area we can find and that is why they banned the use of wet wipes because it doesn't desintegrate fast. But after the guide told me that we can go anywhere in the mountain, I understood why. Other high peaks in the Philippines have a makeshift toilet like a hole in the ground kind of scenario but I guess Mt Apo has enough water sources and is always rainy to wash it all away.
p.s. Never heard of the anti-monkey butt oitnment before! Thanks for the new knowledge haha
Hi pwede bang mag dala ng trekking pole sa airplane?
Hello, you will have to leave it in your check-in luggage.
@@TheTravellingFoxes thank you idol🥰
Y'all ladies can get straight pumped. Boxes would get pummelled.
Thank you for checking out our video in Mt Apo ☺️
Sta.cruz Circuit trail is the best trail
Thanks for letting us know! I’m not sure if I’m ready to come back yet 🤣
Im new subcriber
Congratulations , I am one of the local's who leaving there.
Salamat po Jason! :)
I hope you will come back soon. @tagbukid
Hey, do you remember how much the whole trip costed in total?
6,500 per head for permit, taxes, entrance fee, van, tour guide from Davao and meals on the trail.
Flights from Manila - 10k
Hotel for 2 nights- 8k
When she said, 4 hours and 22 mins for a 7 kms distance 🥲
The mud was really difficult, if there was less mud, I’m sure you can finish it a lot quicker. Comes with luck if it will rain a lot or not :)
Saan po pwd magpabook about mt apo

i want join you hiking
The locals need to clean up the trails for tourists to enjoy the place immensely.
I think the tourists should learn to leave no trace, its a standard for all hikers to bring their trash back.
Just started following you guys .. Pa notice po . Amping mo !
Hello Jelo! Thank you for the support!! Appreciate it :)
@@TheTravellingFoxes Great! If you can visit Cebu. pls, notify me so I can take pictures with you guys. Thank you
I climbed 8 times the highest mt. of the Philippines called mt. Apo but never heard of mt. Apple.
I hope you find your Mount Apple somewhere!
@@TheTravellingFoxes you guys are apple og my eyes 😀

Thank you for watching part 1 of our Mt Apo adventure! Stay safe!

May punagdadaanan ba si “christine”? 😅
Hindi ko gets po hahaha sorry
stumbled into this video. Please be careful wearing camou sa bukid. I think It's bawal(I'm not sure about the details).
You could be mistaken as a uniformed personnel by rebels, bka may misencounter. Take care!
Thank you for the feedback. Yeah I kind of remember that being mentioned to me in my younger days especially when I enjoyed wearing military print! :)
Hello po! Anong brand po nung tent nyo? HEHEHE
Hello! It’s a Kelty tent :) I got it from Amazon
Province dogs are the CUTEST! It takes everything in me not to bring them home
8:13 and 9:00
Hello po, thank you for watching the vlog of us climbing Mt Apo. e have many other hikes around the Philippines in our channel and we hope you can check it out :)

Did someone really decide to play loud music while in the forest? 😔 that’s super disturbing not just for the co-campers but for the wildlife too! Pangit ka-bonding 😔
We asked for other spots but apparently there is only one campsite in Mt Apo.. It was unfortunate that we were hiking together with another group that was really big and roudy that their boisterous laughter was disturbing our rest for the summit hike.
@@TheTravellingFoxes akala ko friends kayo lahat
Are you a couple? If not and you're not taken yet, can I court anyone of you, two gals? Both of you are just too gorgeous.
Hahahah thank you for your sweet words Reny! We are both married. Natasha (smaller fox) is living in the Netherlands. I am based in the Philippines and that is why most of my content is near Manila. Hope you can check out our other travel vlogs when you have time!
Who is saying to like the video and get money they are froud
It’s fine to think what you think. Have a nice day! :)
Someday, ill do this with my dogs and family
Sounds like a great plan, hope you get to achieve it one day :)
@@TheTravellingFoxes Thank You! More power to both of you!💖🙌💯
