- Hiking an ACTIVE VOLCANO in the PHILIPPINES 😱🇵🇭 Mt Pinatubo
In this video, we will be hiking the active volcano Mt Pinatubo. Located north of Manila, this experience was one of the most EXCITING experiences we have had in the Philippines. Starting with the most exhilarating 4x4 experience, before tracking through volcanic ash to reach the crater. This was truly amazing!!
As always thank you so much for watching!

Seeing Mount Pinatubo in your video made me say “Hello old friend.” I was a 26-year old Navy journalist stationed at Subic Bay during the eruption all those years ago. I arrived in the Philippines in December of 1990. Seven months later, the volcano erupted. I was working for FEN (Far East Network) at Subic as a television reporter and radio DJ. I stayed in the Philippines until the US troop pullout was complete. I did a lot of coverage of the volcano both before and after the eruption. I even flew over the volcano on helicopters on two occasions with a big video camera strapped to me, hanging out of the side of the helicopter.
Being there on the ground when it erupted was a nightmarish experience. During the darkness of the eruption, it made me wonder if we would all survive. It’s not every day that you go through such a cataclysmic event.
That big blue lake was a small blue lake the last time I flew over. The landscape, from miles around the volcano, looked like the landscape of Mars. It is nice seeing all the vegetation growing.
Thanks for the video of Mount Pinatubo. It brought back a lot of memories.
Years ago I was at Walter Reed, I was talking to a retired Air Force security guy, they secured the gates and were the last American personnel to leave Clark AB. They hiked all the way to Subic, interestingly he said, behind them were hundreds of locals following them, understandably, he said, everything was just chaotic. When they stopped to rest and eat, everyone was just staring at them....They ended up sharing whatever provisions they had (he got emotional at this time)
I was born and grew up in Baguio, I miss Camp John Hay, I was in the Army back in the mid 80's, used to get MAC flights to Clark and hop on a Phil Rabbit or Victory liner bus to my parents home in Baguio. Good times!
What an EPIC day, I honestly can't tell you. I think I have talked about this at least once a day since doing it haha! Please hit subscribe if you enjoyed the video.
📣 We now have Facebook!!! If you loved the video it would really help us out if you shared it to your friends facebook.com/61550775900359/videos/1426301821433600/
Very Nice!
@@leomarlonestrada5954 thank you!
I did enjoy your vlog as always, cool and fun to watch. Do you plan of going to Batanes?
Were it not for the fact that it is just on a dormant state, that place looks so peaceful and quiet. Perfect for reflection and quiet meditation. The Instagram view is just a bonus. Well worth the hike.
Beautiful Videos Thanks For Sharing 👍👍👍👍✌️👌🖐️💕🇺🇸
I was a college student in Manila when Mt. Pinatubo erupted. Day literally turned into night and we thought it was snowing but it turned out to be ashfall. It was one of the most scariest moments for me and a lot of Filipinos. I'm just in awe of how something so terrifying years ago turned out to be something so magnificent today. God is good! Enjoy your tour of Northern Luzon. Guess we'll see you in Banawe, Sagada, Baguio, or Vigan next??
Yes it is crazy isn’t it how it can change! And yes some of them but we don’t have that much time left 😢
Gaz should get a tattoo from Apo Wang-ud.
I was there during the eruption. It was very scary..
18:08 Santa!
Mt pinatubo turns to tourist spot
Wow, how time swiftly flew. I'm turning 40 next year and I was only 6 when the volcano erupted. I was so mad at my classmate behind me because I thought he was pushing my desk/chair. It was Language quiz when the big earth tremors came, so the only thing I got to bring home with me after all the panic was my jumbo pencil. Life as a student had been disrupted shortly after and we had to contend esp. with the frequent aftershocks, some feeble, some strong. I vividly recall the suffocating sulfur air and the rain of ash and rocks---which I collected happily because I thought the crystals in it were diamonds but in fact were only phenocrysts. Anyway, thank you for bringing to fore childhood memories. It was a devastating time, but we did not feel hopeless due to resilience. Thank you for taking us all with you on your Pinatubo adventure. Take care and enjoy as you explore more of the country.
Yes I'm 43 now I don't even remember that time when it erupted. Our grandma's home in Bacolor was submerged in Ashfall and ashes everywhere in our house and street in Laguna.
Im at my 41 now. I remember in Palawan it was morning after the night of its eruption, everything around our house filled with ashfalls. Banana leaves fall off and carabaos cannot eat grass all the vegetation were severely destroyed.
Absolutely amazing … the Philippines is so beautiful. So interesting to see another part of the country Epic
Filipino watching from Los Angeles, CA. Wow! You guys been around more than any bloggers I've seen here. You guys are awesome and keep doing what you do. Mt Pinatubo is very beautiful! These guys deserves more subscribers. Subscriber kababayan, these two really deserves it.

The breathtaking scenery is pure poetry. Like what your tongues drip - pure woven words transforming your inspiration and feelings into sheer beauty of poetry.
Abby is a joy of eloquence, and Gaz, a giant but of gentle soul and speech.
Stay safe and healthy both of you, as you spend your physicality in exploring places and people. ❤❤❤
Thank you for kind words ☺️☺️
Now that the cold season begins, it is the best time to go to the North (mountain province). You will experience unique culture and see stunning mountain view.
Wait until tonight’s video 👀
Hi. You guys got lucky to have the location by yourself there. This is not the season for camping or travels here in the Philippines, as it is the rainy season already. Even local do not do travels at this season. My. Pinatubo is really spectacular and one of its kind here in the Philippines. Enjoy and stay safe always, Abby and Gas!. 🙌🙌💕💕
Very few vloggers feature that crater lake, seems to me they're missing out on a sight to behold. Was that water in the later turqoise too like the oceans in the Philippines? The color was a beautiful hue. You two are just all over that beautiful country 🏞👍👫
It was beautiful turquoise water as per usual! The Philippines has no other colored water 😍
The water is high sulfur content its not blue its green and very dangerous to go into , unless you want to glow in the dark at nighttime.
I'm so glad that you guys visited the North of the Philippines.. its probably the most underrated. I have been to Mt. Pinatubo too in 2013. That time we were able to swim at the crater lake.
Thank you!! Wow I couldn’t imagine swimming in that, think it would scare me 😂
What a epic experience that must have been. I have family living in Manila and Baguio and they went through the eruption with the amount of ash in the air and all. I was visiting from the US a few years after it happened taking the bus from Manila to Baguio driving through the ash and new landscape caused by the eruption was an experience to itself. Definitely a lifetime memory.
Wow that sounds crazy!
Wow guys, what an epic awesome Trek. I remember in 2006 visiting my father-in-law‘s family in Pampanga driving by and Ash still on the edges of the main road, that was 15 years after the eruption! My wife and I will be moving to the Bataan Luzon area in about a year and a half, and that will definitely be on my bucket list! Amazing, great job! And Cheers from New England USA
You guys are awesome👍That Mt. Pinatubo is just Majestic. You took some Filipinos like me who never been to that historic volcano 🌋. Thanks for showing Philippines to the world 🌎. Watching from SF CA 🇺🇲. 🫶🇵🇭.
Thanks for watching ☺️☺️☺️
Really appreciate that you guys look into history and how the volcano came into fame 😊❤I'm moved by your account of this hike and feel even more proud of my country 😊🙏 thank you guys.
THAT was so unexpectedly epic, oh wow! Would love to do the same trek in the future. Hope these 40+ yr-old legs could still keep up. Thanks guys, immensely enjoyable episode, as always. ❤
The trek wasn’t hard at all so you’ll be fine! Glad you enjoyed the episode ☺️
It is a shame that i am a Filipino and i havent been here. This is a must visit experience. Your footage at the crater is freaking breathaking.
Thats definitely a great experience. I was young when it erupted. And literally you will see ashes everywhere in the Philippines specifically and some even reached other countries. Now the volcano is sleep again and witnessing its majestic calmness is magical.
Wow that’s crazy!
For a change, instead of Siargao, Palawan, Boracay, they went to Pinatubo,I remember two foreign vloggers making a camp in Pinatubo, that was like several years ago. Thank you for visiting Pinatubo and your amazing guys, God bless
We love an adventure ☺️ thanks for watching!
In Ilocos Norte there is a beautiful beaches with white sand same as boracay.in Ilocos Sur we have Santorini looks like.a native hotel made of bamboo, wooden materials.hope you will check northern part of Luzon specially Batanes
Thirty-two years ago, that wasteland of ash, rocks, and lahar that you passed through aboard the 4x4 was the same debris the volcano ejected. That lush vegetation showed how Nature reclaimed and regenerated the landscape.
Wow it’s amazing really
Unforgettable experience
Philippines 🇵🇭 is the best in natures 😊😊love my country ❤️
It is amazing 😍
Wow! Youre exactly on the top of a volcano. You are actually looking at the crater or mouth of a volcano.
Wow sobrang ganda, thanks so much for this video❤
Wow; you are right. What a stunning view!
I was stationed at Clark AB at the time of the eruption and simultaneous typhoon. I will never forget the destruction caused by those events. I appreciate the glimpse this video provides of the crater and surrounding area.
I was 6 years old when Mt Pinatubo erupted and i remember it was the most grayest day of my life. Literally everything was gray from the volcanic ash. Our green house, our black dog, our red car, all of our neighbors houses everything was gray.
Wow that sounds awful 😞
That's is a magnificent view,Wow😮
Wow! Mt. Pinatubo crater lake.
I remember coming home from overseas the following day of eruption. While on the night trip bus from Manila going to Ilocos Province, I saw people on the highway walking like zombies with ashes all over their faces and bodies as ashfall still going on.
I'm glad you guys finally made it there. I totally forgot about the military base that might scare off tourists. There is so many hidden gems there including Mapanuepe Lake under that lake used to be a town. There is so many places to see in the Philippines but the problem is its too remote to visit. Abra and Nueva Viscaya is also a hidden gem lots of hiking trails.
Yes the army base was crazy!! Added to the excitement ☺️🙌🏻
Thank you for letting me experience this while at home. Please continue making videos like this.
Beautiful. So epic!
that's definitely going to my bucket list, so beautiful
What an adventure! Thank you for showing and sharing with us this beautiful place of Mt. Pinatubo. Amazing!
STUNNING
June 15, 1991, it was an unusual Saturday. I was in Manila on my way home at past 12 noon and I kept getting something in my eyes not knowing it was ash from Pinatubo. By 3pm it looked like dusk and there ashes on the leaves of plants. Went out on a date, coming back home to a different landscape, Manila a good more than 100kms away was covered in ash.
Thats is epic! You two are braved enough to do it. & the view from volcano itself was amazing!your journey on that place are beyond magical. Stay blessed & safe from ireland.
Wow just wow!
Mind blowing view....chilling stories of devastation comes a beauty to be amazed.....wow.....
Thumbs up👍❤ view is amazing...! nice experience 😍🤩
Thank you ☺️☺️
Worth to walk, stunning 🙏👍👌💕
Great video ❤
Thank you ☺️
Excellent vlog guys- #volcano looked rugged with a very fast walking 🚶 guide thru #rapids and rocks 🪨 etc
The shot in the crater lake was magnificent. The wind and the grass moving is so peaceful to watch you can feel the peaceful vibe in there its like a dream. And baby girl i like listening to your voice its like listening to a National geographic documentary ever think of becoming a journalist?
Thank you ☺️ I would love to be a journalist, probably why I got into TH-cam haha
Wow it's amazing it's so beautiful. Thank you for sharing Gaz and Abby
Wow just wow!!!!❤
Not sure what's with you two but u guys keep realing me in with your videos. Perhaps, the chill mode & not over exaggerated way of presenting PH places just for views. Since you guys already at north. Go way farther up north, like sagada, or buscalan and get few more tats for Gaz with wang-od plus free grab of Gaz crouch by wangod. Then batanes or few more island way up north. Like in cagayan saw few hidden gem island on those places too. You guys enjoy ur adventure and take care!
Aw thanks so much! We like to keep it real and show you guys these beautiful places but as they are, no fluff or extra drama 🙌🏻 although we can be dramatic at time 😂. Thanks for your recommendations 👏🏻
This vid is such a treat for me as someone who finds hiking so therapeutic. What a view!
Glad you enjoyed it ☺️
Wow! Just Wow! 😍😍😍😍😍
Among all the things around Mt. Pinatubo, the spartan slippers of the guide make my heart warm. Some things never change.
good thing you have trekked Pinatubo. I have swam in its crater when we filmed a group of media people some years ago. the water have different temperatures from the water surface down to the earth below it. kinda cool swimming on the crater lake! finally subbed to your channel. all the best to your travels in 'Pinas!
I suggested this to you guys when you first posted you Philippine video! Cool you guys went thru with it. 🍻🤙
Wow.. that gorgeous
Ohhh Emm Geee! Beautiful! What an adventure abby and gaz.. great job!❤
Thank you ☺️☺️
In the mid-90's, on a flight from Manila to Baguio, I asked the flight attendant if we could see Mt. Pinatubo. She talked to the Captain and shortly thereafter on the intercom, the captain announced he will divert his flight path a bit so we could all get a glimpse of the volcano. We all got to see it from a distance in the air! That was the last time I saw it. Even in faraway Benguet province, during the eruption, there was fine ash and the smell of sulfur in the air.
Wow I bet that was amazing to see!!
Your almost there, a few hours drive to the eight wonder of the world-the Rice Terraces of Banaue and Batad.
I knowwww 🙌🏻
How hospitable Filipino are. Even in a shallow water they held your hand to cross that river.
I know they are honestly the kindest people in the world
Wow beautiful views
Crazy 😍😍
I love this video!!! Thank you! Abby, you also have writing talent!!
Thank you ☺️☺️
I remember in 1991, i was 11 years old, mt pinatubo erupted,and theres a time that ash fall came here in quezon city, when i woke up in the morning , all people wondering our surrounndings was covered with color white and we found out from the news that it was an ash fall from mt pinatubo.
Wow that is crazy 😬😬
Amazing views
I know 😍😍
u guys deserve more subs and views
nice.... thank you for the videos
Glad you’re enjoying ☺️
hi, you both are courageous at least you experienced to see the crater lake, be careful
An exciting experience indeed. The trek towards Mt. Pinatubo is sheer adventure. Nothing fancy but it is all worth it, especially to people from older-age categories, such as myself. The tourism sector may have to make the trek more exciting by giving visitors a guided tour of the crater lake itself - just like the one in Hawaii where tourists come near the lake of lava and steam.😀😀
Omg I would have loved that! What was interesting was when we were near the volcano something actually interfered with our wireless microphones and when we flew our drone we lost signal for quite a while. The whole thing is so creepy 🤯
Aliens inside the volcano 😂
Wow! Super beautiful! U guys are adventurous!!!!
It was AMAZING 😍😍
Wow. Congratulations. I love the wild adventure that both of you have experienced in PH.
Thanks so much ☺️
Been there once and it looked like a beautiful painting a first in a closer look. Really amazinggg!
beautifultour

I know, literally gives me goosebumps watching 👀

I miss Mt Pinatubo! Before, climbers are allowed to go down the lake side.
Wow. That is beautiful. I was in Manila that time. Ashes looks like snow falling from the sky as I always tell whenever I remember those days.
Wow crazy!
I remember when that volcano 🌋 erupted, my family and I were in Baguio City, we were displaced for a while.
Wow, adventure of a lifetime. Enjoy 🎉😊
