48 Hours in Moalboal, Cebu: Ultimate Adventure Destination?!
Welcome to Moalboal, a small town in the Philippines known for its incredible marine life and endless adventures. In this video, we're packing as much as possible in our itinerary to soak up everything this place has to offer. Swimming with whale sharks, saying hi to the turtles, and experiencing the world's largest sardine run. We'll connect with the friendly locals, go canyoneering through stunning canyons and end it all with an unforgettable sunset. And yes, this, unfortunately for me, kicks in with a 3 a.m. alarm! It is currently 3:30 a.m., but we are off to an adventure baby!
As of now they are constructing roads which is probably 3 or 4 hours. That's good to know. But you're a good driver, right? Maybe?? Okay! Okay! For a lot of years..? - Yeah! Okay.
- But we trust you. We trust you. - Yeah! Okay... okay, nice! Wow, we just jumped into the water and we see one immediately already. This is magical.
Let me show you that. I was trying to rest and it kept touching me. I've never been b!tch slapped by a whale shark before. So we just came out of the water and we're completely overwhelmed.
We're waiting for the rest of the group. This was a lot and we have now a lot of guides here. Oh my God, look at this! Hi! Aww...!
That is so cute and then we have all the friendly people here. He is selling these. Can I see? And you are a local guide, so what do you do else? - Nothing. - Just selling and guiding. - Ya, ya, ya!
- And what do you guide? - Before, we were driving to the waterfalls, but as of now, the waterfalls is closed. The waterfalls are closed? - Yeah! Why? - No water. - No rain. No water? - Yeah! The whole day today, no water? - Yeah! - The whole month. So tomorrow we also cannot go to the water? - Yeah! - What's your name? - Jasper. Jasper? - Yeah! - I'm Susan. Nice to meet you! What's your name? - Angie.
Angie? Nice to meet you. - Living life! - How many boyfriends? - Five! One, two, three, four... Bye! Happy birthday! See you! Hello! Wow! It's so beautiful. To be honest guys, I can't recommend this more.
I really, really love this so much. This feels way more natural than the whale shark. This is so natural, they're not feeding them and it's so beautiful. Literally nature at its best! We're all about to go down together with Jimmy boy.
That's Jimmy boy right there. Hi, Jimmy boy, are you ready? - Yeah! Alright, 3 2 1... Checked off the bucket list. Saily, a new eSIM service app that makes staying connected while traveling so much easier.

We have all the sellers here. We'll see you tomorrow, guys! - See you! - Bye! Bye! Oh, this was so amazing and the people are so friendly. Aww...! Bye! And just like that, I had a quick shower and an outfit change because...
we were washed away by the ocean. Right now it is time to explore the streets here in Moalboal, if I pronounce it correctly. I am really curious to explore this area, see what the fuss is all about, because when we were driving through these streets, it looked absolutely amazing. So let's go. Janine? - Yeah.
- Are you ready? - Yeah! - She literally said let's go 5 or 10 minutes ago. I am ready! - Should I do this water on your camera? - She was rushing me and look what she's doing right now. - But you didn't tell them that I went to the store to buy three bags of conditioner.
Three bags of conditioner because our hair was actually washed away. - Because it was a lot stuck. - Because our hair was tangled. - Don't worry about a thing every little thing is going to be alright! Somehow we were not able to lock the door, but someone else fixed it for us, so here we go. Bye, guys! - Bye! Bye! People here are absolutely amazing and right now we're going to sit somewhere where they apparently have smoothie bowls, so that is what we definitely need after all of these adventures.
It's really hot here. That's one of the things that I didn't really expected in the Philippines in general, but Moalboal, it's really, really hot. So you need to prepare yourself. Only bring dresses and bikinis if you're a girl. You're good to go.
Oh my god, this coffee is really good. And as a coffee lover, this is so important that a place has good coffee and this has it. Ooh, yes! - Oh my God, I missed smoothie bowls so much. Wow! We really needed this. This is the first real meal that we've been eating today and it's 4 p.m. So we're going to enjoy this right now.
And we are ready with our food. Hi! - Hi! - Hi, guys! How are you doing? - I'm good! Yeah? - Yeah! What's your name? - Eric. Eric? - Yeah! - That's a nice name. What about you? - Darriel. - What? - Darriel.
Da...? - Darriel. - Yeah, Da... riel.
- It's like Ariel, but then with the D, Darriel. - Where are you from? - The Netherlands. Oh, you're selling, right? - Yeah! Ohh! How old are you, guys? - I'm 16.
16, and you? - He's 15. 15? So 15 years old and 16 years old, okay! Wow, the sun is slowly setting. So, so beautiful here. We're gonna walk a little and see what we can discover here because there is so much. This is such a lively neighborhood.
There's so much to do, so many dogs here as well. A lot of nice friendly people, a lot of good shops and that's what we love. Oh my god, look at that.
These are like puffer fish. I think these are real. - Because it's so shiny and hard and normally it's stretchy. - So this angel has been following us for such a long time...
already, look. Oh my God, she's so cute. The dogs here are so adorable, look.
And what I just saw, we have a spa here and we deserve it. So we're going to do a foot spa here for 350 pesos. I'm really curious.
With AC! We need AC. Oh, that's such a nice chair. That was really nice. Are you enjoying it, Janine? - Yeah, but it's sometimes a little bit tickly, but further, it's really good. I love it. Alright and off we go.
This was so nice. And like I said, much needed! - I found the best place to eat. - Oh my God, they have steak! Okay, we are going to go there. - And pasta, it is like an Italian place. Okay, after sunset... This is also a pro tip. If you are in a new place, always look on Google Maps and then look for reviews and then you'll find the best places to eat.
Hi! - Hi, guys! - How are you? - Fine! - I'm good! - You look amazing, guys. I love that thing going on. Have a good evening. - Thank you! Bye! They were such a vibe. I love it. Picture! Hi, guys! - Hi, guys! Please subscribe to my...
- Gypsy in Sneakers. Yay! Bye! Thank you! Hi! - Done! Oh, subscribed. Thank you so much! - I'll subscribe now. You've subscribed as well. - Yeah! Thank you! We made it to the beach right in time because the sun is setting behind us.
It is really beautiful. This is probably the first sunset we've seen here in the Philippines, and it is so, so stunning. We're going to enjoy this right now and just enjoy the calmness of the ocean. Good morning, Jimmy! - Good morning! We met up with Jimmy boy again from yesterday. He's becoming our good friend now and we're gonna go some snorkeling and free diving together.
- Oh my God, it's a deadly snake! One of the guys, didn't you see? Crazy! That's the deadliest sea snake. It's poisonous and all the guys were like, let's take videos. Gonna love the Filipino people. - Yeah! Yay! Life is a game, right? We are on the way to spot even more sardines here early in the morning. We have to walk a little bit and the beach is so quiet in the morning, I love it. - Hey! Hello! How are you? - Good, good, good! Good, good, good! Like I said, quiet beach, but the locals don't make it quiet.
They make it a party everywhere. Yay! Jimmy is the best, guys. - Yeah! Hit him up for the best adventure because you saw the shots and they don't lie; that's all his worth. This was incredible. Woohoo! Turtles? Yeah, one big white one here.
Okay, so Jimmy, what can you do? - I can do freediving, scuba diving, canyoning, whaleshark watching, chasing waterfalls, dolphin watching, if you want, you can do it here in Moalboal. Literally, everything you can do with Jimmy, so you just need to reach out to him. He's the absolute best, he's so good at what he does, so trustworthy, and he is an absolute local legend here, so hit him up, guys. Oh, you give...? What? - Just give me your hand. No, no, no, no...
What do you have? Oh my goodness! He had the cricket. No, but not too close. Not too close, please. Okay... Oh my God! Okay, thank you! No, no, no... We made it to our breakfast spot.
Really cute. Look at this. And amazing staff as well. - Hello! Hi! How are you, guys? It's such a party here in the Philippines every morning.
- Look at all the coffee options. This is made for us. Oh my God! Amazing! - Wow, this is nice. And water. Exactly what we needed.
So good. Exactly! Thank you so much! We made it just in time. We are right now in the car to do canyoneering. We're really excited for it, but we're also... - Overwhelmed, stressed... And hot. We made it.
Let's get out. Hello! Good morning! This is where we end up. I am already exhausted, but let the adventure begin. - This is your crown. Thank you! What did you say? - We are in love.
Janine found husband already. Now it's my turn. You have a brother? - Yeah, my brother.
- Where is he? - He's also your guide. Oh, he's our guide. Okay, nice! - It's giving Nepal memories. We are going to go on bike and then we go ziplining, this is really exciting. Here? - Yeah! Can we go with two? You can go best in the middle.
Okay! Here we go. - Hold, hold. Hold, hold. Oh my God! This has to be a strong bike. Oh my God, I love this. Oh my God! Wow...! - Oh my God, you go so fast.

Oh my God, you're so strong. - Thank you! Wow! We climbed one and a half hours to come here, that's crazy. How is your chicken? - Pretty good.
