I’am first subscriber when traveling in Philippines 🇵🇭 go to the pharmacy to purchase ear plugs it may help for lots of noises such as screaming of the chicken, dogs, karaoke, etc.😁😆 have fun guys in the Philippines 🇵🇭 island 🏝️
Hello welcome to Leyte enjoy swimming big shark and turtle your drone so nice beautiful beach and place in Leyte pilipino friendly love karaoke god bless stay safe I'm new your chanel
Love those transportation count clips. I did not know that you can see whale sharks in Leyte and it's the first time I've heard about Padre Burgos. One thing I notice about Leyte is that it has beautiful mountain ranges.
Hubby was ascending from a dive in Bohol when they encountered an adult whale shark, he has seen some amazing critters but that unexpected sight of that wonder is one of life’s highlights.
I love watching the videos, it takes me right back to that moment! It was very important to me to go with a company who does not want to alter their ecosystem simply for tourists
@@adventuringwithclare The case in Oslob Cebu is a little complicated. The fishermen in Oslob used to hunt the whale sharks and eat them or sell them. So the local government found a way to keep the whale sharks safe and that is through eco-tourism with the whale sharks as the main attraction. Instead of hunting them, the fishermen of Oslob are now earning through tourism. If tourism in Oslob dry up due to protests (on feeding the whale sharks), the fishermen might hunt the whale sharks again.
You missed the most beautiful island in the world - Batanes Philippines! This island is an AVATAR AND BREATHTAKING! Sort of Ireland and Scotland only in tropical settings. TH-cam it -- see for yourself. There are two you have not seen in the Philippines. The DUGONG "manatee of the Philippines" different from Florida Manatee. Very elusive. The 2nd one is the rare sighting of ORCA (a family of Orca on living in the Philippines) It's been seen in BOHOL ISLAND.
Enjoy the Philippines, Clare. I'm glad you made it to my province. There's so much hidden treasures to be found there I hope you and your friends will spend more time to explore Southern Leyte.
I wish that we had more time in Leyte! As we were searching for things to do, we found countless amazing activities! We will definitely be back to explore more!
@@adventuringwithclare if you should decide to come back to Southern Leyte in the future we will be happy to provide you a place to stay, specifically in Hinunangan. Just let us know. We will be retiring next year and will be living in Hinunangan. Stay safe.
hello ms. Claire.. have a very nice travel blog around the world.. welcome to the philippines. 😊 have a great day.. stay safe and healthy always enjoy your day.. big like 👍🏼 ❤️ ❤️
You were already in Cebu, South of the island is a town called Oslob, it's also known for daily encounters with whale sharks......made the initial statement before I finished watching your post, I think the Leyte encounter is better considering you practically had the whale shark to yourself..
Yeah Olson was the first place we were looking at to go swim with them! But it all ended up working out for the best because yeah it was incredible to not have too many other people around!
This must be bigger than the whales in oslob …are apparently baby size…Tubbataha reef is a famous spot for diving too.if you check the vlog of FinnSnow…and you see whale sharks as well it’s a natural preserve reef ….✌🏼🇫🇷
Thank you so much for coming along on this journey! It was very expensive, I prefer to save money by staying in cheap accommodation and travel as cheap as possible, so that I can have more money to spend on activities like this!
Karaoke and rooster crowing plus trike noise is very common in the province in the Philippines. Donsol in the Bicol province often have Whale shark. Oslob in Cebu you are almost guaranteed to see a Whale shark but not advisable since they feed them.
I think Oslob, Cebu is the most well-known tourist spot for Whaleshark diving in the Phillipines, tho I'm not so sure that fisher folks out there do something with them to make the whalesharks stay, like feeding them. I think it may be a greater experience of encounter if you see them in the wild in their own terms and just observe their beauty.
Exactly right, in Oslob there are so many whale sharks because they are being fed. Which is why I decided to swim with them in Leyte because I agree with you, it is a much greater experience seeing them in their natural habitat!
Hi Clare actually Padre Burgos is part of Southern Leyte were separated from Leyte province😊 Anyway thanks for visiting our province there's lot to offer. Keep safe and God bless you🙏
I have goosebumps for you ! Just discovered your youtube channel..Just arrived here in US yesterday for a 4-day visit in my hometown San Juan, La Union Philippines. I could have sent you my go pro while I was there ...
It's beautiful place, very worth it to travel when your intro is you talking how far or many hours you travel I feel tired haha just listen you..stay safe and enjoy travel
I really want to visit El Nido and Coron this time around, but couldn’t make it work because flights got very expensive by the time we were ready to book! So yes it is still on my list to see and I will for sure be coming back!
Absolutely beautiful creatures. Next time, come around the end of February and go to Matnog. Its along the natural migratory path of those giants. A few of my diver friends even had an encounter with 11 whale sharks in one dive!
have you thought about 5 day live aboard diving trip in tubbataha Reef? among the top diving destination in the world. We encountered manta ray, full grown whale shark, moray eel, black tip, nurse, grey, hammerhead, marble ray, bump head, schools of barracuda etc. they said sometimes tiger and thresher if you are lucky. I don't know the current rate but when we had our trip it was about 1,500 Usd.
YES I have heard incredible things about Tubbataha Reef, and would absolutely love to go on a liveaboard there. For 5 days $1500 isnt bad! I’m going to start saving up!
@@adventuringwithclare If you are planning to bring drones though, you need to secure a permit because there is also a bird sanctuary around the area. just read on the environmental rules or ask any trip organizer about it.
@@adventuringwithclare also after tubbataha you could also dive in El Nido or Coron since your jump off is already in palawan. Coron is good for wreck dive. there are old Japanese ww2 ships that sunk there. It is a pretty cool experience if you are not claustrophobic, there are sites where you can go in the ship.
We were coming from Malapascua, so we would have had to take the 5 hour bus ride back down to Cebu City and then took the ferry, which probably would have ended up being a similar duration!
Oh wow!! I am so happy for you that you are able to go home to see family after all that time! If you have time to make it down to Sogod Bay, that is where the whale sharks are!
This looks incredible! I am going to the Philippines in March and really want to see a whale shark in the wild. What was the company called you used to do this boat trip and where did you stay in Leyte? Did you have to book in advance or just turn up on the day? Sorry for all the questions, this video has just got me super excited!
Sorry for the delay! We stayed in Padre Burgos, but there really wasn’t much of anything else to do here. If you go there, I’d recommend staying at the dive shop we went through called Southern Leyte Divers. We booked once we arrived there! I’ve heard one of the best places in the Philippines to swim with them in the wild is actually Donsol!
Good content here. Just so sorry to hear about the videoke thing and at the same time for being so understanding about things that are unusual for you guys. But bet it's fun to be experiencing something out of your comfort zone. 😂 Safe travels.
I’ve heard there are TONS in Oslob! But I know they feed the whale sharks there so I was wanting to find somewhere to see them a bit more in their natural habitat!
I agree, when I started researching, Olson was the first one to pop up, but I am so glad we found a company who focuses on a bit more natural encounters
Glad to hear you finally checked that must-see box. Make a longer to-do list when you return to the PH. So cool you to see you beaming. 🙂 i was smiling back at you. Happy trips!
Aww thank you so much for your words! My list for the Philippines is getting so long since I posted this video, so many people commenting new things to do in the Philippines I’m going to have to come back soon!
You should have dove there, that's one of the best dive spots in the Philippines, and also fixes your qualms about chasing vs encountering because if you get lucky there's a high chance of encountering the whale shark while diving. The other dive hotspot for whale shark sightings in the Philippines is Tubbataha. Donsol, the other natural whale shark snorkeling hotspot is just whale shark snorkeling and a manta ray cleaning station, Sogod Bay has better diving that can keep people occupied even if whale sharks are not found. If you do return to that area, the neighbouring island of Samar has great spelunking, and that's land travel because there's a bridge between the 2
Try to go to ozamis city in mindanao that they have eco oceanic wildlife reserve. I think that’s the name. Been there once. They rehab and treat fish and sea mammals before they release it in the wild
@@adventuringwithclare I am sure you can because waters in Asia/SE Asia are mostly warm round the year! will be your student at some point, love diving! :)
Wow I'm blown away Philippines is truly a Paradise.
It really is, and we didn’t even get to see a fraction of the incredible things it has to offer!
that's why I'm retiring in Cebu City in 6 years if God wills 🙏 😊
Good that you've chosen to see our Whale Sharks in their natural habitat. Thanks for visiting Philippines 🇵🇭🫶.
Of course, I try not to promote any company who does not have the best interest for animals and marine life in mind!
Your smile says it all
Haha my smile was from ear to ear for a week after this!
I’am first subscriber when traveling in Philippines 🇵🇭 go to the pharmacy to purchase ear plugs it may help for lots of noises such as screaming of the chicken, dogs, karaoke, etc.😁😆 have fun guys in the Philippines 🇵🇭 island 🏝️
Haha I may have to! I don’t mind the karaoke during the day but at night some ear plugs may be necessary!

😍😍😍 oh my gosh, I bet he was flying high after that experience!! So amazing!
So cool...
Thank you!! It was an amazing experience😍
Incredible underwater footages. It was like racing with the whalesharks. Happy to see these gentle giants swimming straight in their natural habitat.

Cool 😊 new subscriber here from manila Philippines 🇵🇭
Hello and welcome!! Thank you so much for subscribing!
A beautiful adventure, the whale shark is a gentle giant! Nice!
Yes, such gentle giants! Hard to believe these ones were just babies!
This must be bigger than the whales in oslob …are apparently baby size…Tubbataha reef is a famous spot for diving too.if you check the vlog of FinnSnow…and you see whale sharks as well it’s a natural preserve reef ….✌🏼🇫🇷
i love ur way of finding the shark..but its so exppensive doing that....i am ur fan..go any country i am still a fan
Thank you so much for coming along on this journey! It was very expensive, I prefer to save money by staying in cheap accommodation and travel as cheap as possible, so that I can have more money to spend on activities like this!
Karaoke and rooster crowing plus trike noise is very common in the province in the Philippines. Donsol in the Bicol province often have Whale shark. Oslob in Cebu you are almost guaranteed to see a Whale shark but not advisable since they feed them.
Yes the karaoke and roosters took a bit of getting used to, but we heard it is common everywhere!
I think Oslob, Cebu is the most well-known tourist spot for Whaleshark diving in the Phillipines, tho I'm not so sure that fisher folks out there do something with them to make the whalesharks stay, like feeding them.

Exactly right, in Oslob there are so many whale sharks because they are being fed. Which is why I decided to swim with them in Leyte because I agree with you, it is a much greater experience seeing them in their natural habitat!
Since you were already in Malapascua. There are boats that go from Malapascua to Kalanggaman Island. There get a ride to Leyte mainland.
Oh really?? I wish we would have known that!
Have fun, Enjoy your stay.
Thank you so much!
Wow! Am celebrating your dream.
Thank you so so much! 🥰
You finally saw her, that’s amazing!
I know, FINALLY!! It only took 3 years 😂
Mission accomplished. You're really so happy after three years of Searching. Job well done.
Thank you!! It almost doesn’t feel real that I finally saw them!

Well Clare pointed out this notorious karaoke addiction of most Pinoys. It's hideous.
happy to know you found what you were looking for
Thank you so much! It still doesn’t feel real ☺️
Mission accomplished. Please come back for more adventure here in the Philippines 😊
Yes I will for sure be coming back to the Philippines, there are so many more things I want to see there!
Manta ray is next. Go to tubbataha
If you want to return to the Philippines after being in Indonesia, El Nido on Palawan is very much recommended!
I really want to visit El Nido and Coron this time around, but couldn’t make it work because flights got very expensive by the time we were ready to book! So yes it is still on my list to see and I will for sure be coming back!

It's really amazing....❤❤❤ more power dear!
Thank you so much 🥰

Oooo okay!! I’m adding that to my list for when I come back!
Thank you for visiting the Philippines…Amazing videos 😊😊😮
Thank you so much! The Philippines is an amazing place!
Welcome to the Philippines, Clare! New subscriber here.
Hello! Thank you so much, and welcome!!
wow your surprise!
It was one of my favorite days 🥰
From Cebu City you could have gone directly to Ormoc via ocean jet or one of those fast craft.
We were coming from Malapascua, so we would have had to take the 5 hour bus ride back down to Cebu City and then took the ferry, which probably would have ended up being a similar duration!
That is an amazing experience! Where in Leyte ? I grew up in Ormoc City Leyte and I’m coming home soon after 14 years of not seeing my family.
Oh wow!! I am so happy for you that you are able to go home to see family after all that time! If you have time to make it down to Sogod Bay, that is where the whale sharks are!
I saw whaleshark5 yrs ago in my birth place padre burgos so leyte from canada
Oh wow!! Seems like we saw them in the same place then!! How cool!
Awesome vid of these gentle giants. Just subscribed.

Hello! Thank you so much for subscribing! So happy to have you here! ☺️
You must go to Tañon Strait between islands of Cebu and Negros , in the Visayas or in Bicol probably in SORSOGON...you can find whale shark often
Ahh okay thank you for this! I hadn’t heard of this one yet so I will be adding it to my list!
Enjoy the Philippines. Always be healthy and keep safe 🙏
Thank you so much, you as well!

Safe travels.
Exactly!! That’s what this whole trip is about, getting out of my comfort zone and experiencing everything these countries have to offer!! Haha
hy can you tell me with wich tour u did it because i want to do it too without feeding and without much tourism
I went with Southern Leyte Divers in Padre Burgos, but I’ve heard you can dive with them ethically in Donsol as well!
OMG you should've just went to Oslob, in the south of Cebu. Plenty of Whale Sharks flock over there
I’ve heard there are TONS in Oslob! But I know they feed the whale sharks there so I was wanting to find somewhere to see them a bit more in their natural habitat!
That is truly a remarkable experience.
Thank you, I agree! It was one of the greatest experiences of my life for sure!
Did you check out By By while on Leyte. Historic spot.
No we didnt!! I’m going to have to look that up now and add it to my list of things to do when I come back!
New sub here... ❤❤❤
I'm from Southern Leyte
Hello and welcome! Leyte is such a beautiful island, I wish I got to explore more of it!
Hi Clare we call it TRICYCLE not tuktuk..enjoy the rest of your stay 🏝🇵🇭☀️🏖
Hi! Thank you for the correction!
yeah I think it depends on what part of the Philippines because we call it TOKTOK also in our village
Congratulations guys❤❤❤❤
Thank you so much!! ☺️
a gentle correction, it's not called a Tuktuk (Thailand) we call it Trisikul
Hi! Thank you for this correction!
Congratulations! The whale sharks looks so beautiful and more healthy looking thN those at oslob..was that the only one out there? Thanks
Thank you! We believe we saw three different whale sharks total!
@@adventuringwithclare oh good for you guys..thanks
I didn't know that whale sharks can also be found in Leyte. You must be the first vlogger who featured the whale sharks in Leyte.
Really?? Well I’m glad to feature another place in the Philippines where you can swim with them in their natural habitat!
I like this one, the whale sharks freely swims around compared to what people are doing in Oslob Cebu.
I agree, when I started researching, Olson was the first one to pop up, but I am so glad we found a company who focuses on a bit more natural encounters
Glad to hear you finally checked that must-see box. Make a longer to-do list when you return to the PH.
So cool you to see you beaming. 🙂 i was smiling back at you. Happy trips!
Aww thank you so much for your words! My list for the Philippines is getting so long since I posted this video, so many people commenting new things to do in the Philippines I’m going to have to come back soon!

Thank you!! ☺️
Two thumbs up for not patronizing the fed whale shark tours!
🥰
Catch a flight to Negros famous festival this April, a showcase , how Panaad festival is celebrated in Bacolod city,have fun
Thank you so much for this! I am absolutely going to look into this!
You will find a lot of whale sharks in Oslob, Cebu. That area is a hotspot. My mom is from Leyte
Leyte is such a beautiful island! So much to do
So jealous! I can't wait to have a whale shark encounter! Btw, my insta360 X2 works very well underwater with the case.
That’s right! Your video quality was so so good. I may have to make that my next purchase!
you should put on your backetlist the tubbataha reef of the phils
Yes it is definitely on there! I didn’t get to it this time around, but eventually I will!
Try to go to ozamis city in mindanao that they have eco oceanic wildlife reserve. I think that’s the name. Been there once. They rehab and treat fish and sea mammals before they release it in the wild
I love that so much! I’m going to have to check them out. Thank you for this!
Sipadan, Malaysia next!
That is on my dream list!!
What is a tuk tuk? I think it's called tricycle in the Philippines.
Yes it is actually tricycle !
since you are a scuba instructor, try to visit the tubbataha reef in the sulu sea, that is the center of the center of diversity in the world
That’s what I’ve heard! I didn’t make it there this time around, but it is absolutely on the top of my list when I come back!
Lovely! Dream job and dream way to live! :)
Thank you so much! Hopefully I can make this my full time way of living!
Wow Congrats...you have made it...😊after 3 years...Godbless...love your video
@@adventuringwithclare I am sure you can because waters in Asia/SE Asia are mostly warm round the year! will be your student at some point, love diving! :)
