  • We're snorkelling with stunning sea turtles at Balicasag Island in the Philippines. This small island near Bohol and Panglao is an excellent place for getting up close with wildlife and coral. The water is the clearest blue and as warm as bathwater. Sea turtles are such graceful, gentle creatures and being near them makes the whole world slow down. The crew on our boat cooks a delicious BBQ of Filipino food, including meat and fish cooked on skewers, fish soup, noodles, and rice. For dessert it's fresh, juicy watermelon. We also try a drink called Four Seasons, which is very popular in the Philippines. Join us for this magical day experiencing nature in all its glory. 🇵🇭

      Thank you! 😄haha yeah is Five Alive still around? I haven't looked for it for YEARS but loved it as a kid. The sea turtles are a highlight but this whole day was amazing (including the dolphins in part 1!).

    Dolphins and sea turtles in one day! Plus the gorgeous water, the smaller colourful fish and coral...The Philippines seems like heaven to me! I can imagine how extra delicious the already delicious barbeque was after a morning in the water. Thanks for bringing us along with you again!

      Can you believe it?! A day with not just wild dolphins but sea turtles TOO?? Had to pinch ourselves. And, yes, the Philippines is a bright blue, watery heaven 😍 The water is so warm and inviting. It's the best feeling to eat after you've worked up an appetite, isn't it? And we definitely got back in to snorkel more after lunch... ❤️

    Sea turtles would be first on the agenda for sure! It's like watching a ballet under water. So graceful as you said. Cannot get over blue that water is either. Hey you mentioned that Five-Alive drink..hehe I remember that! Did like it too!

    • @EileenAldis
      @EileenAldis  7 місяців тому

      haha I'm glad you also remember the Five Alive drink, Scott! I'm not the only one. ;) I love how you said it's like watching a ballet under the water by the way. It's so true. The turtles move with so much grace. It's mesmerizing. 😍

    When in doubt, always sea turtles. 🐢 Your camera work on this video is so beautiful, underwater and drone, but that gorgeous aqua blue water! Just wow. 😘

    Amazing Gosh I would really enjoy visiting The Philippines 🇵🇭 ❤ what a beauty!
    Oh well I would have skip ⏭️ lunch to stay in the water! As much as I love food I’d rather stay watching any kind of life into these magnificent blue waters anytime a day! I don’t do mornings 😂 for this 💯 ❤ I just did “this morning tour in Husavik 🇮🇸👌🏼” to see the 🐋 💙🐋 and I didn’t mind getting up I was too excited to sleep in any case 😊
    The Philippines 🇵🇭 seems a lot of fun, beautiful nature and people
    Hopefully I can visit one day!
    Take care

      Hey Sabrina! That's so cool you did a whale watching tour in Húsavík! I lived very near there during the same summer I met Marc in Iceland and also did a whale tour. It was extraordinary. Have you seen the Eurovision movie that takes place there? I love it! They also did a video of the Oscar-nominated song that was shot there with a children's choir. Gave me the chills. I'm sure you'd love visiting the Philippines too...what's not to love with blue, warm water like that?! I know what you mean about not getting out of the water but we did go back in after filling our empty stomachs ;)
