WILD First Impressions of El Nido Philippines

WILD First Impressions of El Nido Philippines

Show Video

My friends and good afternoon welcome back to  another video here in the Philippines guys in   this video we are in El Nido so it's my first  full video and I'm gonna tell you guys straight   away that this day is not gone as planned because  the weather can be pretty moody when you're out   here on the islands our boat tour was canceled so  my brother's actually at the hotel doing a couple   of things and I decided I'm gonna take a walk  we've got some very dark clouds coming in so all   morning actually we were surprised that the boat  trip was canceled because it was so sunny but I   guess probably some of the islands where we would  go to take the boat to like the waves are a little   bit dangerous so that's just something you got to  keep in mind and if you're on a short itinerary   you might be bummed out because you need to have  a couple days of leniency depending on when you're   here and what time of the year you're here if you  want to just ensure that you're not going to have   one of your days completely ruined and you won't  be able to make it up on a future day because of   the weather so we're like the big thing to  do in El Nido besides kind of cruise around   explore like the island life is to go to all of  the surrounding Islands do boat trips so there's   like four different types of boat trips you can  do and maybe I'll explain that to you in another   video but like you know they're all like full day  boat trips because there's so many islands in the   El Nido area so basically unfortunately because  we did not get the opportunity to go on today's   one that's one of the full sets of islands  that we won't get the opportunity to explore   but anyways guys on a more positive note we  are here inside the marketplace and we are   going to be exploring this area so we're gonna  enter in we've got some markets here comotica   okay long all right very good very good so it  looks like we've got ourselves a nice Marketplace   over here and inside what can we find it looks  like we've got some fresh hats on this side all right some really nice looking hats  there but I'm looking for something more   that says the Philippines so we're gonna keep  looking a little bit more though see what else   we can locate inside the markets as you can see  they've they're preparing themselves for the rain   so we will head on in here  we got El Nido shirts in here okay long all right okay those looks similar to my  uh Birkenstocks I'm wearing right there   well I'm Gonna Keep Looking here guys I'm looking  for something custom to El Nido most likely   but uh yeah lots of swimwear in there a  few different types of designer Brands   I've seen like Adidas I've seen Nike and uh we  shall see what else we see over here oh it's   got the shirts hanging low all right come off  the car got some nicer shirts there swimsuits   looks like it what do we got there El Nido  Beach oh a red horse tank top that's one of   their favorite beers around here Palawan so  we're on the island of Palawan we're on the   island of Palawan yeah this is Palawan yeah okay  so maybe one of these tank tops might be nice yeah okay I need a nice tank top that's  gonna look good for me brother   so maybe this one Palawan Philippines El Nido  okay that all needle looks kind of cool too   then we have gray same options in Gray oh and a  nice dry fit that's super comfortable all right   but I think I think this is gonna be the one if  it fits okay is that a big size there do you have   something bigger brother a large large yeah  large no do you have any large size tank tops   are you only have medium no we're  right right oh what you have large yeah Philippines okay so probably one of these  ones that are hanging down lower than the rest I do like this one but I think that's a medium  too it looks like the one behind it's a large okay oh that's a huge bummer I really like these  but uh there's no sizes that are gonna fit me   oh that's a bummer brother I  wanted one but uh it's too small   you can see I got I got a big belly  I gotta cover so it's not gonna be   possible salamat you sure you don't  have any other options back there all right well what else do we have here  some good looking stuff some fresh bags there   we did get a little money purse there we've got  oh some fresh shoes yeah what about sizes for   shoes 45 per week place oh you have multiple  options 45. it's kind of a fresh pear plastic yeah those are kind of nice but not certain   size 13 so that's pretty big then  so we've got Adidas all white oh these look pretty nice all right so we've got those as an  option these right here Nike zooms yeah   uh what size are these ones 44. what is that in U.S size Euro oh  nine and a half oh that might fit and um 750. do you have uh any special deals going on

because I got a pair in Manila for uh 350. no  we are on an island how about the what's your   best price 650 650. I could walk away with  them for uh 500. no okay Barbies yeah yeah I would do for 500 but that's the most I'll  pay because when I was in Manila I bought   a very similar pair like this and after four  days of walking they broke so I don't know if   these will break see for this 500 500 okay  do you happen to have a change for a 1000   and I can try them on real quick try them on yeah all right go ahead and try these on guys they are 44 which I guess is 9.5  in the US that's exactly the size Nike Air Max shoes so they do fit nice it feels  like kind of like the ton [ __ ] go for a run in these yeah I will take them  and uh change please is there is there a way to   make the see how that liner comes out is there  glue no blue yeah because as you guys can see   this is one of my big hesitations because  when I bought the shoes in Manila they   immediately like kind of fell apart I  put my foot in there and took it out   seems like those are pretty sturdy but I guess  we'll have to uh settle for that quality because   this seems to be the the common standard for this  um price range well I think we can always find a   shoe repair guy to put new Bottoms in because I  do like the design I'll change please thank you salamat thank you very much so we are a proud new owner of the shoes so I  usually face uh some people who have an opinion   where I shouldn't have negotiated the price  and some people where they say I should have   negotiated in more the reason why I negotiated  it because honestly 700 for like a really high   quality pair of shoes is a great price right  like 700 is probably like 15 or something like   that close to it fifteen fourteen dollars but the  reason why I negotiated down to 500 which is like   eight or nine dollars is because I'm literally  in Manila and if you guys watch my videos I got a   pair of like Air Force Ones there and within four  days of walking around and I did walk like four   miles but like at the end of the day if it's a  high quality shoe you know it should last a while   and I paid 350 for those and so as soon as I put  these Nikes on already the Bottom's like crunched   up and they like broke right off so you can tell  they're they're really just shoes more for show   they're not meant to like last a long time or beat  them up like you would with a pair of athletic   shoes which is exactly what those are all right so  let's see what we've got over here in the market   burp milk tea and snacks yes okay long yeah  perfect perfect my name is James James all   right James nice to meet you James uh what's  the uh delicious food you have here are the uh okay hot dogs too and a foot Run Okay so they've  got all the good stuff the name of the place is   called burp yes that's fantastic so you think I'll  burp

with this  oh okay nice nice well I bet it's delicious   so that's the answer what was  that one large please yeah okay so that's the process for it yes the  cookies and cream powder oh that's the

Nido yeah I live here and born  here nice very nice oh wow it's raining a lot   so you guys this is why the boat tour was  canceled and see it is pouring outside right now all right that's the uh what are those things made  out of here okay and those are like it's like a   chewy gummy thing yeah which one's your favorite  out of all of these my favorite dispatcher   oh Macho yeah oh okay I've never had matcha I  almost died oh the coffee oh that looks delicious   too I almost always get the cookies and cream  because it's just you know like a sweet dessert all right so there we go oh yeah nothing better   than that sound of the ice  mixing in making an ice cold there we go the Shaker right there that's gonna  be IELTS yes so do you guys speak Tagalog here   yeah or a different dialect of it sometimes wow look at this you can hear  the sound of the rain coming   right now guys that is exactly  why the boat tour was canceled wow all right and this is it  let's look at maserat yeah oh that's perfect and so this is the labeling machine yeah yeah so  you put that thing right up like that and then   oh yeah uses the fork to push it right on  down there presses the label right on top and what does it burn it on uh  it feels like uh seals it yeah and that makes a delicious  tea wow fantastic presentation all right perfect uh maybe yeah just a small one yeah thank you all right we're gonna go ahead and  uh Pop That Thing open three two one damn oh yeah James very well done that is delicious bubble tea is almost like a mini meal guys because you're eating the gummy things while  you're also having something that's   like so similar to a milkshake and it's  so good honestly before the Philippines   excuse me I've only had like one or two of  these in my life and I absolutely love them thank you sweet thank you very much and that  one's for you James thank you very much thank   you sir thank you thank you all right how  long do you think the rain's gonna happen   uh or it comes and goes yeah all right well  see you later James nice to meet you thank you guys very delicious about two dollars for the  large one it's a really good price fresh and   delicious and we've got to wait around a minute  or two because the uh rain is still coming down   but it seems like it's just a quick quick drop and  then it slows down a bit guys just finished the uh   the last sip no more bubble tea James  mother up thank you very much do you   have a garbage I can put this in very iOS  maserat brother nice to meet you goodbye   thank you brother all right I think the uh rain  has slowed down enough where we can head back   into the streets of El Nido so guys I'm walking  down the road right now and yeah I mean you can   see some pretty big name brand uh gas stations  over here caltex and then I'm more of a I would   guess a local gas station called biscuit or biku  and of course the rain's starting to pick up again   so looks like we're gonna get soaked but I think  just a little bit further up here back towards   the main part of El Nido is where we're gonna find  some markets where maybe we can take cover problem   is I have my drone in my backpack so it's probably  gonna get destroyed right now maybe I can hide on   under this little Pavilion right there all right  we gotta run across we don't die and we made it all right we got a little cover we can hide under  here for a minute or two ah and now guys we wait   so some of you guys are gonna ask why I didn't  uh film a lot of videos in El Nido and this is   part of the reason why guys this looks like one of  those rainfalls that's not gonna be giving up easy   so we probably need to uh locate ourselves one of  these guys to take us around this could be our guy kuya nope now we got some tourists there  cruising through the rain let the   rain jacket time this guy's  definitely gonna pick us up kuya oh you got someone all right well seems like everyone's already taken everyone   we might have another guy coming down  this way I'm sure everyone's taking these you know uh here we go we got one I was gonna  say what's he up to if he's uh skipping us all right we are hopping in oh  yeah just somewhere uh that way   all right it's raining here a lot cool yeah nice to meet you oh Gilbert Gilbert nice to meet  you Gilbert we got we've got Cruiser we're taking   here number three one three and as you can see  we are inside here the views are a bit harder   to see because we've got the rain right here  but uh you know it's still cool to be cruising   through Palawan today just hope I can show  you guys some more stuff my original plan is   I walked all the way down this side and started  the video and I was gonna take you to some of   these restaurants some of these markets right up  here but I guess it's raining on the parade today   all right as you can see guys we are  almost back into the main town area   but uh the weather's not fully cleared up yeah  it's getting a little better I know kuya all right   that's a Local's price I'll give you 100  since you gave me the lowest price thank you   all right guys we have made it and  we're back now we gotta find my brother okay long thank you all right we found the bro we're gonna  get ourselves some motorbikes here how much for uh mopeds here with our bikes foreign we might look we might look around brother  all right guess everyone's got their mopeds   today I didn't go to bed till like  one so probably when you went to bed   all right looks like this yeah exactly looks like  this is the motorbike spots oh you only have one   you have to get the other one all  right are these are pet chickens MO right there the Big Daddy over there nice so you have a two available 500 yeah for how long 10 o'clock in the morning for 500. or 9 p.m anyway what is your  thoughts it's a good price yeah for 24 hours uh 24 hours for 12 hours about uh 300 for 12 hours wow foreign they're giving us a deal of 350 for four hours  uh you're Matthew no uh you're Matthew uh so   it's your shop ah nice nice that's awesome  got ourselves a fresh move at salamat kuya   Let's test this one out here all right ready  bro got myself a fresh pink motorbike here   guys I'd say I look uh look good in this one  so they gave it to us on uh at below empty gas   so we've got to locate ourselves a  gas station here and then after that after that we can go cruising all right bro yeah yeah oh cause he's drunk well at least she's  safe you spend all the money you just made on beer   yeah both of the this is below empty oh the pro almost got himself a crash  there wild drivers around here all right we're cruising through the uh area  here the brakes are not great on this though   guys so at the current moment we are cruising  through looking for a gas station here but I   guess that's uh one thing to check I mean I think  we got a pretty good price four hours for 350 each for us to get these for the evening but  no gas included I guess that's uh normal   or we just have to return it on an empty  tank but in order to make it through here   we need to fill this tank up first so  we're cruising through the Village area and it seems like there's more like Resorts as  you drive further up oh that's a gas station all right and let's fill them up we need some fresh gas here brother okay long a liter and a half yeah three liters  total 1.5 million 1.5 liters all right

see how this thing opens so guys we paid about  83 pesos for a uh one liter per liter and we got   about 1.5 liters per person and basically put 150  so we almost got two full leaders in here as you   can see that gives us about a quarter tank and so  we're gonna be cruising up this way see where we   end up in the El Nido area all right guys we're  just cruising down this way sometimes it's nice   this is like a such a great way to see the island  is just get on the bike have no destination in   mind and go for a nice Cruise like we are not  sure what we'll find going Inland like this but   you'll never know unless you try  it out you know what I'm saying maganda hapon all right we're arriving to a place  called Leo I'm not entirely certain what Leo is   outdoor chilling spot maybe it's  a resort or an area okay long the local guards there Sito Uno looks like a  bunch of like restaurants and stuff there tricycle   terminal oh wow that is literally a terminal  of tricycles but these ones all look the same oh we got the Bros speeding up Full  Speed Ahead oh we got a speed bump oh all right turn right to Leo Beach   that was a nice little cruise to get  here and it's just a little pocket I recognize this we're right by the airport so  this is like a hangout spot you go left you're   at the airport you go right I think this gets us  to the beach got some major jungle Vibes though   like a Wood Bridge that's bringing  us through like I guess the swampland   kumusta cuyo jungle this looks  pretty epic that's for sure   wow guys you just take a deep breath and  you can smell the sweet smell of nature a little [ __ ] yes sir just this  because this way is okay yeah can we check to see if anyone left excuse me sir thank you all right Full Speed Ahead oh yeah probably all right looks like this is  one option for parking Maybe oh there's plenty of parking over here no worries I see two spots brother not allowed why is that restricted okay oh oh maybe it's a covid-19 camp aign 19 camp which way kuya right turn we  uh what about to the right to the right all right all right he's radioing him salamat thank you Poe all right so let's see where  this brings us it's like a big nature area we   got people taking a walk over there just need  to find a spot to drop the bikes around here vehicle park and motorbike parking right here  all right and let's find ourselves a spot we made it looks like we have made it to the Leo  area some really exotic palm trees I mean look   at how tall this thing is and it's not until the  very very top probably say 50 feet maybe uh 10 to   15 meters something like that high so insane palm  trees but it gives it such an exotic look this is   an official welcome to the Philippines oh it looks  like they're building a brand new Spa right there   and it seems like a pretty decent sized Beach  Grill to the left a nice little food truck   right there to the right some good Tunes  I'll get some tacos that's one thing I'll   tell you in El Nido everywhere you can go you  can find Mexican food in the Filipino version   not as white of sand as like the main  beach in El Nido but like or maybe it's   because it's wet at the moment but still  a really nice Vibe here a lot of like   tree coverage leading up to the beach  which gives it more of that jungle feel   and one thing I've noticed in the Philippines  all around they have like a dedicated smoking   area you can't just like smoke outside anywhere  have you noticed that too bro that's the first   time I noticed it all over the Philippines  they have dedicated sections for smokers to go yeah guys so this is another perspective of seeing  the area of uh El Nido this is the beach if you   remember in the previous video when we were  flying in that was the uh that was the dock   right there the pier that we were looking out at  and the plane basically flew right in there all   the way down and landed as we're really close to  the airport here oh actually this will be my first   time touching the water bro Let's test it out see  if it's any good all right oh yeah nice and warm   so guys if you want to spend some time at Leo  Beach if you got a lot of time in El Nido this   would be from what it seems like a good place to  spend like an afternoon in there's like shops and   other areas that line this way and it's one of  those beaches where if you're trying to enjoy   the outside yet not get as much of a tan the  tree coverage is is perfect for that I mean   there's not too many beaches in the world I've  seen that actually have like all these different   types of trees that close to the beach so it is  definitely what kind of sets this place apart   and all down there I want to say there's like  shops and things want to loop back this way bro   so lots and lots of nice like uh cafes here  it seems like giving up their smoothie bowls   yoga classes and a uh a lot of like places to  lounge around good digital Nomad working space   to be close to the beach yet also close  to a fresh delicious coffee in this area   so yeah it's it's really nice guys you obviously  been watching from the beginning of this video if   you're still here and there's a lot of rain before  but it can be moody here the weather and so you   know you can just wait around for a couple hours  and then well it's not like perfect Beach weather   right now it's at least not raining so it's still  worth coming down if your part of your day gets   rained upon and check out what's going on in this  area and I'm not sure if these are like hotels in   these areas seems like there's some lounging areas  up top bars on the first floor but it kind of has   given me that Resort style vibe that first look  definitely plenty of options if you've got a few   days to do a little bit of a restaurant hopping  in the area but yeah guys we only have a couple   hours of daylight so we're probably not even a  couple hours at this point probably one and a half   hours so we're gonna keep cruising on the mopeds  a little bit further to what's uh supposed to be   an even better like Beach area so knock Pond yeah  all right not fun as what is like 15 minutes from   here uh yeah nice all right so we'll cruise over  to the knock Pond guys and uh you'll get a small   little tour with us of today's uh excitement  exploring the different beaches in the area good all right we're heading back out this way and looks like we're gonna be going to the uh right let's get this bread all right we're about 15 minutes away and as you  can see this is some of the nature here in Boracay   more of those beautiful palm trees and just a  really wet feeling climate around here I will   say I love the island but you're hot sticky and  humid all the time during this time of the year   I like it because it's Island  line been cruising for a bit   uh very rural is a better way to say it  not too much except more and more jungles   but a nice peaceful drive especially now  that the sun's coming out hello El Nido guys we've got a rainbow in the distance I  don't know if you can see that on the camera   but we've got a knife rainbow  way out there in the distance from making progress we got local  Filipino traffic right there is it one back uh over this way and we're  gonna take a left we're actually at   this house right here at the left  of the corner and they told us to   go this way so we just retraced our  route spent 30 minutes going this way all right all right we have located the beach   after uh passing it there it is  not fun beach oh it's muddy as hell let's hope I don't crash that's what bumpy ass road  going down this way my friends foreign all right it's definitely a  more villagey area over here that's a good sign whoa we got the Ducks hanging  out here down boy down boy sit yeah this is one muddy ass Road holy [ __ ] wow it's literally sludge oh definitely if you're   riding around here go real slow I got my  feet on the ground almost what a mission you know which way bro all right we have made it  what an adventure all right it's a interesting   arrival spot here park the mopeds there right  here we've got some really thick barbed wire you   think they're keeping like a T-rex or something  inside of here it's like the longest barbell   I've ever seen so we've got some cows in there  a little baby calf right there too and this is   going to be the very commonly spoken  about Beach that we're going to show   you guys we're only up just a little bit of time  here because unfortunately with a couple wrong   turns and confusion on the directions we only just  arrived about 45 minutes before the Sun is setting   and it looks like we're hitting a super  high tide too from the distance here oh bro I'm thinking about  getting a coconut you want one uh your coconuts coconuts yeah can  we have two coconut please kuya   two fresh ones with the slaughter device  there we go chopping that thing right up so this is uh from Philippines  coconut yeah locally grown   El Nido coconut oh look at  that spraying everywhere landu nice to meet you landu   oh so we got one Delicious coconut right there  oh don't want to get hit with that dagger and all right you're really just absolutely smashes  that thing how many coconuts you sell per day   what how many coconuts do you sell per day and magkano kuya 50 okay all  right oh I got it bro feeds   Perfect all right let me just  grab this for you brother all right 50 each all right that's uh for you to buy you and your  family one extra coconut too salamat Korea enjoy oh thank you bro hey so we've got two fresh  are these King coconuts King coconuts all right   here we go we're gonna go  ahead and test this thing out drink about two-thirds of it right there delish my  friends I do love the king coconuts when they're   able to get them uh hold right out right when  they're like ice cold you know if they keep them   in a cooler but honestly this is so refreshing  after a solid hour drive here right at the sunset   we got a little Misty rain in the distance here  but waves crashing a very light sunset in the   distance behind that little mountain right there  in this couple looks like tourists showing right   there so it's really like it feels way more like  a local speech than the other Beach we just showed   you but still you know like definitely designed  for the tourism but like not as like overrun as   some of the other places we've seen in terms  of like amount of development I just tasted   this one and it's got like maybe it's not ripe  or something it's got like a soury like bitter   app never once had a coconut like that before all  right so we're getting to a little Isthmus here as   you can see we've got water on both sides coming  in here and then coming in here and then we have   both sitting right up there in the middle and it  leads to this then there's like one little house   sitting out there on that island in the distance  and a couple more that just surround this just   goes to show you like that's how there's like 7  000 different islands in the Philippines they're   just kind of like pop up in every direction you  look you're gonna see all these little Islands   oh look at this we've got a couple calves right  here cruising around the beach pretty good life   this little uh car right there is drinking a  coconut Yum Yum Yum yeah a little one went for   a little run got the Zoomies in them there's  my brother's future house right there right   yeah no it's a really really beautiful  place it looks like it's someone's home   hard to tell but yeah gate leading right up to  this beautiful palace of a house surrounded by   palm trees such a vibe so yeah guys a  pretty quick look at the side of the island   yeah I'm hoping to visit El Nido again  in the future because obviously some of   these videos have been pretty fast paced  through here and I haven't like fully dove   into the culture of things to do and you  know everything in there but it's like a   nice little highlight both to get me excited  and you guys excited when I Explore More of   the areas on the island of Palawan but we're  gonna head on back we'll see you there kuya yeah brother it was a great time really nice time  thank you all right guys and just made it back   to the hotel room so as always thank
