i am glad you made a smart move, unlike other most foreign vloggers who went straight to cebu from manila,, i am glad you chose davao, enjoy and have fun.. bisaya are much nicer than people in manila. i can promise you that,, take care haha

I feel like most vloggers make the mistake of going to Samal island spontaneously which isn't the best way to enjoy it. You better go to Sta Ana port in Davao city at around 6am and book an island hopping tour (joiners possible) which takes you to the best marine spots of Samal, including Talikud beach, coral garden, clam garden, angel cove, etc. If you wanna go by barge, it is best if you booked a fancy resort, which would have great amenities like fire dancing show, infinity pool, inflatable islands, etc. And then do the famous inland tour which includes a bat cave, cliff jumping, waterfalls, etc. I do appreciate the places you visited though. I haven't been to those spots yet and it's really raw and pristine.

This is true. Spontaneous travel in Samal is not as good as Camiguin or Siargao.

What? flying from another continent to stay in a fancy resort, with fire dancing, infinity pool, inflatable islands? LOL!! If those thing make you happy then go for it. Jeez.

The islands of Davao and Samal look amazing and seem affordable for travelers on a budget.

Hi there buddy, I would say you the tuktuk driver charged you a little bit more than we would've paid as a local. 'foreigner price' some would say. The more importany this is that you arrived safe (as I would expect every ride would be) Love seeing your travel videos especially there in Davao area. Cheers!

Sounds like he doesnt have much idea what prices ought to be, id be asking the price BEFORE i agree to any fare. Im not paying anymore because im white. Getting ripped off isnt my thing.

Aside from Indonesia, the Philippines has the most secluded beautiful, tranquil beaches in the world!

Thanks for showing us a part of the Philippines, Jason! It is beautiful! Enjoy!!🥰🌴🥣

Loves to travel jason

I'm a Filipino and I have been to many islands in my country but the one place I still haven't visited which I know in my heart is the most beautiful place in the Philippines is Batanes

9:20 That little island is called Malipano Island and is part of Pearl Farm Beach Resort. A 5 star beach resort in Samal Island.

Welcome back to the Philippines Jason! 🤗❤

Now, you can see why the bridge is much needed. It would significantly reduce traveling costs around the island. and It would make the island develop faster. Sadly, it has been left behind even if the president was from Davao because he prioritized the infrastructure projects from other provinces of the Philippines during his term.

Thank you for mentioning that the Philippines has thousands of islands. That means there are some difficulties with transportation going from one island to another. And also, some of the foreign vloggers keep complaining about the internet/Wi-Fi. Guys' I'm tired of hearing your complaint about the Wi fi. Before you complain, do your research first about ISLANDS alright. I live here in the Carolinas but the wi-fi signal here is still lagging or sometimes nothing.

Hello sir,.thank you for visiting our city samal island likewise promoting also hope you enjoy and safe.may god bless you always.

Thank you jason for featuring Samal Island...

oh yes my favorite place to hang ;;;beach;;fish seafoods;;; weather relax;;;missed it so much;;;; how do you like samal;;;?????? looking forward to be there soon ;;

Thanks for sharing some hikes of the area! Hope you’ll get to go to Cagayan de Oro on your next trip to the islands

Access to the beach? Access to the beach is Always Free. Camiguin is a must! Come back, so much more to see!

The second foreign vloger visiting the island 🏝 of Samal.

You should have gone to Canibad Resort it is very quiet and by the way they charge you so much for your tricycle. I just literally left Davao back in the UK. Shame we did not meet , I could have shown you around

Thank you for the tour here in our place. Maayong pag abot, Jason.

Welcome to Davao😍❤️

hello new here, tnx for visiting Davao! Try exploring siargao' hopefully in ur next visit most especially "bucas grande island" (Sohoton) 😊😊

Hope to meet you here in Davao City! ❤️❤️❤️

Niceeeee

Id love to come to this unadulterated land. thanks for showing.

I am still interested in how you pack your bags. Thanks again John In Chicago

wow!

I think the tryke fare is a fair charge. We also went to Samal Island recently. We rented a tryke for a half day tour for 1K pesos. Although there is really nothin much to do in Samal. Not a place that I would go back to

You need to try El Nido and Coron if you want the secluded beaches when you go island hopping. The waters are clear and so beautiful

A bridge? Oh that should be safe. As a retired engineer I can say after doing basic testing on the integrity of Philippine concrete that it resembles compressed sand stone rather then concrete. I’ll continue to take the boat. Thanks

Good to see you sticking to your guns Jason and avoiding the touristy (local and foreign) areas. Be careful in Amsterdam, there are certain cakes that can make you bent like a coathanger. 🙂

There are many more beautiful place you want to travel here in the Philippines ❤️

I could need a shout-out good content, btw 👌 💫

Siquijor is nice.

Try to visit Iloilo City.

I love your vlog and I'm blogger to new same like you I vlog different places where work to assign

Will u go to USA and Canada to vlog lovecto see them vids I heard Canada a beautiful country

My home city you visit Cagayan de Oro to in 7 seas but now I'm here at tagbilaran city bohol work here

Ferry between Davao and Samal Island will be a thing of the past bc they are soon about to build a bridge which BTW, was heavily protested bc it will eventually devastate the natural beauty of the island. And yes, unfortunately you were scammed by that pedicab driver. Always, Always do not hesitate to ask a local. Interact with the locals ang you’ll be amazed at the warmth,hospitality and generosity ( even if they don’t have much)of the Filipino! Who knows? You might even be offered into a local home and toured around the island . The true beauty of the Philippines ( if you don’t know yet) are it’s people!

Did you know there is a ginger fest every year in the Netherlands?

I'm from Davao city hello

Did you visit Cagayan de Oro sir Jason

Jason: You are paying too much for TukTuk and pedicab. Cut it in half. I have a house on Samal. It is nice there. Thanks for the video.

How long did you spend in Samal? 3 days? enough?

It seems, you didn't maximize your travel to Samal. There's a lot of beautiful places over there untouched, undevelop but nature has keep it nice and beautiful. anyway, i suggest you travel to Surigao to have a grand tour in Mindanao.

Hey Mate- American Al writing you from USA where I find myself "trapped" as I and my Filipina wife Margie cannot get back to the Philippines for were NOT "vaccinated"-as we do Not believe in it! Anyway- when we were last there we had a house on the mainland of Samal and I used to go snorkeling and kayaking on Samal 4-5 times awk! What you should do to really SEE the island is rent a motorbike for a day and just tour around the main road along the coast or hire a bike and driver and do it as the local driver will know everything! By the way our friend has a Thai restaurant in downtown Babak so if you want to meet a dynamic lady and learn whats gong on ask for Marilou and tell her Al & Margie sent you !

tweet: Howdy friendly Englishman, Jason, dear. We are not yet done with our plan in modernizing all of our communities; especially in large provinces like Davao City. How did you end up in the provinces, your suppose to stroll down Manila and in Makati City only for good looking eye catching sceneries and for tourists sightseeing spots. Have Fun! Don't eat too much Dorian, Jason. Try hot pandesal (dinner rolls) and siopao (stuffed bread) with a chilled coca-cola or with your favorite beverages. Do not get fat, it's bad for you. be blessed, Jason. Will you be spending Jesus' Birthday Celebration in Manila, dear? Have Yourself a very MERRY CHRISTMAS - 2022! be blessed.

please be careful

Yeah it's 250 pesos for toktok, (for nearby resorts from ferry terminal) supposedly its good for 4 people.(if u have your friends with u) Salamat sa pagbisita sa Davao ❤️
